SOLE NEGRO RESIDENT HURT; SHAY HOTEL MAN
Edict Against Bringing In Negro
 Disobeyed In Oklahoma

MALOW, Okla, Dec. 1S.-Marlow's unwritten law, exemplified by prom inent public signs bearing the com mand: Negro, don't let the sun go down on you here" caused the death last night of k..W. Birch, prominent hotel proprietor and the probable wounding of the first negro who has stayed here more than a day in years.
 They were victims of mob of more than 15 men who went to the hotel where the negro had been employed three days ago as a porter and shot them down when Birch attempted to persuade them to desist from their threats of lynch the negro.
 Marlow, one of several towns in Oklahoma, which has not allowed negroes to settle in their vicinity, for years has abided by the custom of permitting no member of the race to remain here after nightfall
 Last Saturday Birch brought Rob- ert Jernigan, the negro, here to serve as porter in his hotel. A few hours later he received an anonymous com munication ordering him to dismiss the porter at once and drive him from the city.
