QUICK RESULTS In
CITIZENS LOST
AID. COLUMN

H. T. Webb, $40 Dey street,
this city, lost watch. The
intrinsic value of the time
piece would have not been
such a severe loss to Mr..
Webb, but the watch was a
sacredly cherished treasure to
Mr.. Webb, because his mother
gave it to him as a present
when he was fifteen years old.
That gave the watch to him a
value supreme, so much so
that it could not be estimated
in ordinary dollars and cents.
A Citizen "L0ST" ad in
serted yesterday brought Mr..
Webb's watch back to him.
Mr.. Gates, who lives at Ali
Grinnell street, found the
watch. He read Mr.. Webb's
ad in The Citizen, and the
highly priced timepiece was
promptly restored to its owner
who is happy to have it in his
possession again.
The people all read the
classified department of The
Citizen closely, and at very
little cost much service
through these columns is
easily and promptly available.
Residences and rooms for
rent, property for. sale, arti-
cles lost or found, something
you desire to buy, or anything
you wish to sell or trade, all
would demand attention of
hundreds of interested people
if made known in The Citi-
zen's classified department.
The service is great. The
price is small.

MOB TARS AND FEATHERS
NEGRO MAN TAKEN FROM CITY JAH

A colored man Of giant
proportions, dressed only in a
shining coat of tar and
feathers and his B. v. DIS,
was summarily dumped from
an open touring car in front
of the Monroe Theatre last
night. The masked mob told
him to "dig," and he didn't
fail to do il. 1t is understood
that he was given twenty
four hours to get out of town,
or suffer the consequences.
rrhis is the negro that was
taken in custody Sunday night
by Special Police Harry
Gwynn, for annoying a white
woman. He had been con-
fined to the city jail, but was
to have been turned over to
the county today. He gave
his name as W. Shannon, and
said he worked with a steel
gang on the +. f. G. tracks.
Last night at 9:15 o'clock,
when J. o. Kemp, city jailer,
was sitting in his office read
ing, in walked a mob
of about fifteen men, all in
black masks and armed with
formidable looking firearms.
The jailer was ordered to
throw up his hands and warn
ed not to treat the matter rs
a joke. They took his club
and gun away from him and
made him give them the key
to the cell in which the negro
Shannon was confined. Two of
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1926-05-04

the men guarded the -jailer
while others took the negro
from the cell, threw a tow
sack over his head and rush
ed with him to waiting auto
mobiles. After the prisoner
had been secured and placed
in a car, the two guards then
left the jailer and joined the
motorcade, when a dash was
made in che direction Of the
County Road.
This is the account of the
affair as given to The Citizen
representative by Jailer
Kemp this morning.
All the rest can be but
hear-say, for no one could
identify any of the masked
men, and if they took any
one into their confidence, no
one seems to know about it.
1t is known, however, that
the mob was out of the city
for some time, and when they
returned to Duval street with
the negro he had been gem
erously tarred and feathered
and was badly in need of a
bath and clean linens.
In his hop off from Duval
street, the negro thoroughly
demonstrated his skill as
speed artist. and since that
time his whereabouts has
been entirely unknown. If he
is as good a swimmer as he is
a runner, he could have been
to the mainland long before
this time.

Just how many workers are af-
fected by the strike. had not been

estimates run from 100000 up

latest available statistics show
that last September the member

The strike became effective af-
ter a day and night Of con-

were strenuous negotiations be-
tween members Of the govern
ment and representatives of the
trades union congress in an en-
deavor to reach an agreement
which would end the crisis. Even
at a late hour last night there
seemed to be some promise Of
negotiations which would lead to
a way out of the difficulty. All
efforts. however, proved futile.
Before the adjournment of par

on the strike situation, large
crowds gathered outside. One sec
