HONEY GROVE, Tex, May H.
Pierced with bullets and charred
by fire, the body OF a Negro who
killed a man lay in a cemetery out
side this northeastern Texas town
today, the victim of a mob whose
violence marked the second venge-
ance Of its kind within a week.
Order had ben restored among
the 900 people of Honey Grove after
a night Of fury that threatened mo-
mentarily to approach the spirit
that ragged at Sherman, Tex, in an
adjoining county, just a week
previously.
Within a few hours after Sam
johnson, a Negro. shot and killed E.
F. Fortenberry, so, white landowner
a mob of 400 men had beseiged the
Negro in his refuge and filled him
with bullets. They chained his body
to an automobile and dragged 1t
through the Negro section of town,
strung it from the limb of tree,
saturated it with gasoline and set
it ablaze.
Dispense After Burning
It's task ended, the mob dispersed
without further trouble.
Creeping stealthily from their
shanties where they had coWS;ed,
while the mob fury ragged, a few
Negroes cut down the swaying fig
ure and. hurried it to a Negro ceme-
terry.
Drama moved speedily and ruth
lessly from the time Fortenberry
and his friend, Tom Hannard, called
Friday afternoon at Johnson's
cabin to inquire about his rent.
They found Johnson packing his
belongings, apparently about to
leave the farm.
you're not leaving?" Fortenberry
inquired. The Negro, according to
Hannard, replied by firing three
times at Fortenberry, killing him in
stantly.
The Negro barricaded himself in
his cabin on the edge of town.
Sheriff Hughes of Fannin county, in
which Honey Grove is located, led
the attack. Townspeople and farm
ers swarmed to his aid with shot
guns, revolVerS and rifles.
Runners Brought Bullets
DepIoying about the cabin, they
opened a barrage on Johnson, who
fired back with two revolverS. When
the attackers ammunition became
scarce, the sheriff organized de-
tail Of runners, who worked in re-
lays to bring fresh ammunition from
town.
After nearly two hours of shoot
ing into the cabin, the firing
lightened from within. Oscar Davis,
a farmer. volunteered to enter the
refuge. Marksmen kept guns trained
on the cabin.
Their vigilance was needless.
Leaning against the door was the
Negroes body, perforated with bull
lets. Davis tossed it from a VIM
dow. The mob dashed for it. The
leaders tied it to an automobile, a
chain wrapped around one leg, a
length of barbed wire around the
ether.
Through the town to the Negro
section they dragged it, hung it to
a tree, soaked it with gasoline and
touched it with match.
BY 10 p. m. all was quiet IN
Honey Grove.

Cleveland, June 2o.-There IS still music in the air, Not just "on the air More little girls are toiling at their scales and t1rore little boys are disturbing the peighbors with their cornet and cello practice than ever before.
 And this is true in spite of the fact that the radio and the talkies have left approximately 35,000 pro- fessional musicians without an au- dience or an income,
 The plan of making your own music is gaining in favor, due largely to the encouragement of school orchestras which play for school activities,
 This is the observation of Adella Prentlss Hughes. who has a more intense interest in the development Of orchestras than any other Ameri can woman Incidentally. she has proved that woman can excel in an hitherto untried field. Mrs. Hughes has the distinction of being the only woman in Amerlca-per- haps in the world-who has or ganized and manages a great sym phony orchestra
