Duluth, Mimi. June 16. = Three
negroes were lynehed here last night
by mob estimated at 5000 persons,
which overpowered the police, took
possession of police headquarters
and seized the negroes, who were
held in connection with an attack
on a white girl.
A mock trial was held by the mob
in the police station, and three zee,
negroes were found guilty and three
others, also held in connections with
the ASSAULT, were acquitted and
turned back to the police.
Not a shot was fired in the attack
on the police station, the members
of the mob using bricks and, other
missiles, and, in the final stages of
the fight, streams of water from
firehose taken from the police, them
selves. "
Shortly after midnight the mob
still surrounded the police station,
but there was no indication of fur
ther trouble. The police believe
the mob would disperse IN a, few
hours without other disorder.
