Independence, Kans.. Dec. 49,
"Seven o'clock and all's well' was
the welcome word received at the
city hall this morning as the roost-
ers of independence were announc-
ing the coming of another day.
Thus ended peacefully a night OF
dread that the race war would break
out again and bring anew the fight
ing of Thursday night when two
were killed and several wounded.
Rigid enforcement of the drastic
proclamation issued by Mayor Wad
man, which closed the city and a.,
lowed no persons. except those carry
ing special permits to appear on
the streets after o'clock last night,
successfully quelled the mob spirit
that was expected to result in the
lynching of Noble Green, a negro
who was accused OF killing a white
grocer. 1t was believed by many that
when darkness fell last night, the
negro would be taken out and
hanged.
The National guardsmen arrived
this morning, being relief to the war
veterans and citizens who had been
on duty maintaing order for 36
hours.
Noble Green. the negro who was
arrested by a mob and accused of
killing and robbing R. r. Wharton,
was spirited out of the town today
and it is believed that he was taken
to Jail in some nearby county.
With National guardsmen from
Lawrence patroling the streets here
the authorities anticipated no fur
ther outbreaks.
Negroes were seen on the streets
Friday afternoon, but they were not
molested. Two negroes were arrested
by the civilian guards and held for
alleged incendiary remarks. After.
noon newspaper printed an appeal
from the widow of Wharton to. al
citizens to abstain from mob viol
ence and let the law take its course
in dealing with the alleged slayer
of her husband.
The rioting Thursday broke
near the city hall and the First Pres
byterian church. Mayor Wadman and
Chief of Police Hall had gone to get
a crowd of twenty negroes who ap-
preached the Jail, as they announced
to protect Gren from a threat of mob
violence.
The city officials departed, believ-
ing the negroes were about to dis
band, according to Chief Hall. Then
about eight of the negroes crossed
the street where they encountered
group of white men.
1t was an accident shot fired by
Arthur Hopper, a negro who was
killed, That precipitated the shooting,
according to the chief. Firing then
became general on both sides.

ladder in friendly conversation. Part

some joke exchanged between them,
the latter assembled the steps to the
pilot house, while the gambler turned
aft, still smiling, cigar between his
lips. I managed to observe that he
paused in front of the second cabin,
as though listening for some sound
within, but made no attempt to enter,
passing on to the door beyond, which
was unlocked. He ns1st have come to
the upper deck on some special mis-
