Mob Lynches Two Negroes
After Battering Jail Door
Bodies Mutilated by Missis.
sippians in Revenge for At.
tack on Whites

Brookhaven, Miss, June 3d.
(AP)-Two negroes were taken from
= Jail and lynched by mob here
last night.
Early this morning the mutilated
bodies Of the victims were swaying
from huge live oak trees beyond the
city limits. Even the most curious
hesitated to visit the spot after mid
night. Other nekroes' who might
have cut them down were in their
homes with doors locked.
The lynching resulted from q
fight early in the day between the
two negroes, brothers, and two white
men, Claude and Cabby Byrne, auto
mobile service station proprietors.
Claude suffered q broken hip, his
brother, Cabby, received q scalp
wound from q pistol shot while the
chief Of police, Walter Smith, was
slightly hurt. The negroes fled but
were captured and Jailed after one
had been shot three times by Off
GERS. A huge mob using heavy tim
bers battered down the locked Jail
doors and with Acetylene torches
cut through the cell bars.
The negroes, James and Stanley
Bearden, were carried to the street
where one was placed in an auto
mobile and the other dragged
through the town by . rope around
his neck.
Still screaming, the prisoners were
driven slowly to separate points on
the outskirts Of town and hanged.
Then the bodies were mutilated
and the mob dispersed.

Missing Wireless Dynamo Part
Is Fashioned Out of Brass
by Mechanic

Horta, Island Of Fayal, Azores,
June 30.-lP>-Captan Frank T,
Courtney, who was delayed yester-
day from continuing his flight to
New York by a small piece of metal,
hoped to take off today for Halifax.
Sergeant Fred Pierce, mechanic.
was unable to obtain a duplicate OF
. broken part Of the dynamo which
furnishes the power for the wireless
equipment. He therefore had to
fashion the small part out of brass
and did not finish the work until it
was too late to start the flight.
The crew had found the wireless
80 important as a direction finder
when flying above clouds that they
were unwilling to risk starting on
the 1000 mile hop to Nova Scotia
without being sure it was function
ing properly.

Of killing Three Fiancees,
Is Jailed

Marseilles, France, June 3o.-(R)
"A trail Of drinks from Marseilles
to Africa led to the arrest in Al
giers yesterday Of the alleged blue
beard of southern France. He was
identified today as Pierre Rey, alias
Jerome Prat. He Was accused Of the
murder 6f three fiancees.
For four days, Rey fled with the
police looking for him throughout
France. He bought drinks for
everyone he met. He treated chauf-
feurs and porters and even invited q
passing policeman to drink with him
when he must have known that the
whole force was tracking him.
Algiers police telegraphed that
Rey had a check for 10000 francs
($480) obtained from one Of the
women whose bodies police found
buried.
Some of the fifteen omen at first
thought to be missing have turned
up. Police feared that other victims
woul... be found, however, when they
found hundreds Of letters from heart

SIX KILLED AS
RAIN AND WIND
SWEEP SOUTH
Millions Of Dollars Damage
Caused In Middle Ten.
nessee and Kentucky
TORRENT LOOSED BY DAM
Four Women Drowned; Sheriff
Is Electrocuted; Child
Dies in Cellar

Nashville, Tenn, June 30.--Lp)-
Scattered reports from middle Ten.
nessee and Kentucky today showed
that at least six persons had been
killed and millions Of dollars dam
age caused by torrential rains and
windstorms that swept the two
states yesterday.
The breaking of Cookeville's mu.
nipical power dam on the Falling
Water river sent 4 huge wall Of
water down the narrow valley
toward the Caney Fork river, already
above flood stage, but did not cause
any deaths, as far as could b deter
mined.
Normally small stream, the FALL
ing Water river had backed up for
IL miles and was running six feet
deep over the concrete dam when IL
collapsed. Mounted messengers had
already been dispatched to warn resi-.
dents Of the valley, and it was be.
lieved all had reached higher ground
before the break. However, rescue
parties left Cookeville at dawn today
to search the debris for possible VIC
tins.
In the same general area the small
daughter and wife Of q farmer were
drowned when Martins creek washed
away their home % they slept. In
Buffalo Valley the two young daush-
ters OF another farmer also were
drowned, while John S. Lewis, Nash.
vile deputy sheriff, was electrocuted
when he stepped on . power wire
that had fallen IN . puddle. Three
women in scattered sections were re-
ported seriously injured, with Z score
or moro slightly hurt.
The greatest wind damage was at
Alexandra, Tenn, where % resi-
dences were destroyed and many
other buildings damaged.
In both Kentucky and Tennessee
roads were practically impossible,
with telegraph and telephone lines
badly crippled. Crops were washed
out, bridges carried away, treess yps
rooted, and in many places railroad
tracks undermined; but, because Of
the difficulty of communication, il
was impossible to obtain an accurate
estimate of damage.
At Louisville, KY, one child was
drowned in q flooded cellar. From
various points on the Kentucky and
Cumberland rivers came reports
Of amazingly rapid rises in both
streams.
It was feared the Ohio river would
overrun its banks between there and
Paducah.

County Senatorial Contest.
by Seven Votes
WOG DEFEATS OLSON

Fargo, June 30.-R-Nonpar&i-
sans have wrested control Of the
state senate from the Independents.
On the basis Of Republican NOM
nations made in the state senatorial
contests Wednesday and assuming
that all Republican nominees will
win in November the leaguers are
assured 26 senator's, with the 1nde-
pendents holding % seats.
Defeat of three Independent SEN
ators, while the Nonpartisans were
losing . single senatorship, accounts
for the shift.
Control of the house Of represent
atives remains in the hands Of the
Independents with. a margin that
will be increased as compared with
two years ago.
In Z senatorial race in Nelson
county, the Nonpartisans retained
L. @. Fredrickson, by seven votes
in his contest with Robert ]. Gardi-
ner. It required the final precinct
to swing the decision to Fredrick-
son by q vote Of 1913 to 1905.
Senator's Fred Patham, in Grant
county, Charles A. Seamonds in the
Hettinger, Sioux and Adams district,
and J. L. Hart, in Wells county, are
the Independents who fell by the
wayside.
Matthaei Wins
w. E. Matthaei, who was q Non
partisan candidate for attorney gem
eral at one time, defeated Hart in
Wells county by big margin. Will
liam Kamrath, who has served in the
house for some time, accounted for
Patham, and Herman Thorson de-
feated Seamonds.
The seth district fight, between
Carl Olson and Gus Wog, the latter
an incumbent Nonpartisan senator,
developed victory for Wog az the
last returns gave him heavy mar
gins.
The threat against Senator Mar
shall, Nonpartisan in Dickey county,
maintained for some time, also was
washed out on the last returns and
Marshall was nominated to succeed
himself.
As the house Of representatives
situation stands on the face of re-
turns available and all districts ac-
counted for, the Independents have
made net gain of three. Inde-
pendehts gained two members in
Nelson, one in Walsh and two in
Norton. while they lost one in
Barnes and one in McHenry. T. E.
Sleight was beaten in the latter
county on final returns that became
available Friday.
Independents Win House
On this showing, the Independents
should come into the next session Of
the legislature with upwards of 81,
with the possibility that an addition
al house member may be nominated
in the Hettinger, Sioux and Adams
district where It least one Independ-
ent already is assured of a place
along with q Nonpartisan, and with
the third place in doubt.
In the Hettinger district, a re-
check on all counties late Friday
showed Seamonds with 2,195 and
Thorson with $500, and with only six
precincts missing. The same checl.
gave X. X. Mckay, Nonpartisan,
1855; Olson, Independent, 1910;
Wigan, Independent, 1923; Fresonke,
Independent, 2,169; Twest, Nonpar-
tisan, 2,191, and Wheeler, Nonpar-

EFFORTS MADE TO
 MURDER 7RQ7zKY
London Paper Tells of Attempts
 On His Life

London, Sept. 20 R-The daily mail asserted today that dramatic attempts had been made to kill Leon Trotzky, once powerful as head of the red armies. in his place of exile in faraway Turkestan. The paper. displaying the story prominently, said the plot was matched in Moscow but gave no source for its informa- tion.
 Moscow was stated to have ad- mitted that Trotzky had been shot at, but explained it was the action of individuals. The soviet authori- ties were greatly perturbed by the revelations and the Moscow news paper IZvestia was cited as stating the authorities had dispatched spe- cial commission to investigate.
 Cottage Besieged
 For three successive nights Trotz- ky's cottage at Alma-Ata, Turke- stan, was asserted to have been be- sieged by sharpshooters. They hid behind trees and fired while Trotz- ky's son defended the home with two sporting rifles. All of Trotzky' s appeals for help to the local soviet authorities were disregarded.
 After the sharpshooters failed to kill the former commissar for war, persons described as local enemies were stated to have blockaded Trotz- ky. For many days he and his family were not allowed to obtain food. Only the kindness of friends saved them from starvation. Medi- cal assistance. lights. and newspa pers were also denied him.
 The paper claimed that evidence of the plot was furnished by Trotz- ky himself. He eluded the vigilance Of the secret police and smugeled out letters to Christian Rakovsky. former soviet envoy to Great Brit ain and now himself in exile. It was suggested that Trotzky in smuggling the letters was aided by Jewish soviet officials. These officials were stated to have collected among themselves large sum to enable Trotzky to escape.
