Search Two JaiIs, But Fail to
Find Negro Bandit.

Dallas. Tex, Oct. AFTER storming
the Tarrant county Jail at Fort WORTH
and ascertaining that the negro they
wanted was not there, fifty members
of a mob of SOC came to Dallas. but
failed in an attempt to search the
county Jail here or to obtain the man
wanted.
They were after David Bum, negro,
who was indicted in Fort Worth yes
terday in connection with the robbery
of LakewoFth camping party and
attempted criminal assault upon one
of the women in the party.
Bum was brought to the Dallas
county Jail shortly after 8 o'clock,
Sheriff Dan Harston said.
The ten cars which were supposed
to be the advance guard for the major
portion of Ithe mob arrived at the
Dallas county jail at 2:25 this morning.
When the party drove up to the
Jail, the leader, a. short man whom
the other called Happy" asked for
the sheriff Harston came out imme-
diately.
How about it?" the leader asked.
Nothing doing" Harston replied.
THE negro will be tried in Fort
Worth on october II as scheduled,
and he'll be there, too
The ringleader and Harston then
retired into the building for a confer
ence. In a few minutes the leader ap-
peared and announced Harsten had
given his word of honor the negro
was not in the Jail at that time
He also told the mob that Harston
would not agree to a searching party,
and upon being assured by the sheriff
that the party was covered with ma
chine guns which would be used If
necessary and further that they would
be arrested if they did not dispense,
the wouId-be 1ynehers disappeared,
presumably returning to Fort Worth,

Second Death of Like Nature in Week
Confus1s Chicago Police.

Chicago, Oct. 7-Chicag Cos second
schoolboy hanging within a week en-
gagged the attention of the police to-
day.
Edward Knaus, II, was found dead
at the end of a rope in the basement
of his home. His fate was similar to
that of I4-year-old Harold Burlington,
who was found hanging in a. closet of
his home Sunday.
The Reliee and parents of the Knaus
boy believe he accidentally hanged
himself while at play. He had been
in the habit, it was said, eff playing
with ropes and lasso. Police and the
coroner, however. are making an in
vestigatien.
Thus far authorities have been I'M
successful in solving the mystery
of the death of the Burlington boy.
