CARRY CORPSE.
IN WAGON FROM
MOB To MOB
No Arrests Made
M AS Yet J

HELENA, Ark, Nov 2S.-Southern
mob violence ran the full gamut of
unrestrained lawlessness here Friday
night when William Turner, less than
twenty years of age, was hanged and
shot to death by one mob, and his
corpse taken short distance away,
saturated with gasoline, and burned
to ashes by another.
1t was the first lynching ever to
be staged in Helena County.
Earlier in the day Turner had been
arrested for an alleged attack upon Il
l5-year-old white girl At the time of
his arrest he was shot in the leg by
brother of his alleged victim. The
would, although painful, was not Sc
rious.
Sheriff Flees With Man.
Throughout the aday crowds OF sWnsIe
men lettering about the court house
.adicated that a lynching would be at
tempted at night. About dark Sheriff
Mays placed Turner in an automobile
and started for Mariana, in an evi-
dent attempt to escape the mob.
A short distance out of the city the
automobile was stopped by a crowd of
twenty-five white men who "overpow-
cred" the sheriff and his deputies and
took Turner from their custody. No
shots were fired by the sheriff and his
party in their efforts to retain posses
sion of their prisoner.
Jail Is Stormed
Before news reached here that the
prisoner had been taken from the
sheriff, the mob stormed the Jail,
broke down the doors, and instituted
a search for Turner. They failed to
find him, for at that moment he was
being lynched by the twenty-five men
who had taken him from the sheriff a
short distance from the town.
Send Ambulance for Corpse.
After Turner had been shot and
beaten to death, a city ambulance was
sent to the scene of the lynching to
bring his body back to the city. When
the ambulance containing the body
returned to the town, the crowd sur
rounded it and dragged the body from
the vehicle. Clothing from the body
was stripped away, and the naked
corpse was CARED to the center of the
little city park, where gasoline was
applied in generous quantities. Some
body applied a match, and the body
was soon reduced to ashes.
No arrests have been made.

SECOND BOMBING, ROCKS
DENVER MANS HOME

DENVER, COLO, NOV, 2b,-AII the
windows were blown out and holes
were torn in the walls of the home of
Charles E. Starr, Pip Gilpin Street,
here, when the second bomb was ex-
ploded in an effort to drive Starr and
his family from their home.
The bombing eliminated a long
neighborhood row over the occupancy
of the home by Starr and his family.
A peculiar fact in connection with the
bombing was that it took place on the
eve of the day the house was to be
sold to white man.
Starr, his wife and his 10-year-old
daughter, who occupied the house,
escaped uninjured.

$1,000 u. S. SOLDIERS
SLEEP ON FOREIGN SOIL

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, April 1S.-
More than $1,000 American soldiers
who died during the world war still
sleep on foreign soil. Shall the graves
of our fallen be forgotten on this, the
third memorial day since the armis-
tice?" reads a bulletin issued today by
national headquarters of the American
Legion.
A report to the Legion from Quar-
termaster General of the Army Rogers
shows that there are 61,429 American
graves in seven foreign countries. In
France 1887 men of the A. e. f. stiH
are buried, in England there are SIT,
in Belgium ISL, in Russia 81, in Italy
TO- in Germany 43 and in Luxem-
bourg s.
The Legion's records show that the
organization decorated $4,000 graves
overseas last year with a fund of l.
100000 francs raised in America and
France.
The bulletin. which the Legion to-
day forwarded to each of it's 1000
posts, emphasizes the individual obIi-
cation of the Legionnaires and their
prompt action.
