THE SUNDAY HERALD
BURTON-TAYLOR-WISE COMPANY
This atrocious crime occurred direct
ly across the street from the state ar
senal which was filled with iiiiltia
men at the time. The soldiers made
no attempt to arrest the lynchers but
contented themselves with dlsperslnu
the mob after the crime had been
committed.
They divided it Into two sections,
heading them in opposite directions
These two units remalmlpd intact,
however, and proceeded to carry out
the spirit of the night, which appears
to be to exterminate the negroe pop
ulation of Springfield.
As the night wears on It seems that
the military and police are losing
their boasted grip on the situation.
Twenty separate mobs ire now work
ing In various sections of thhe city.
MILITIAMEN
WATCHED LYNCHING.
The lynch'ng of Dunnlgan "as the
first over act In execution of pint
to wipe <he entire negro population
out of Springfield and It was he
boldest crime yet. committed. The
successful execution of the crime has
thrown the military and the police
into disorder. The mob that killed
Dunnlgan was permitted to s art out
on Its murderous errand and from
the very shadow of military head
quarters it paraded through the main
streets of the city, shouting "On to
the capitol,” “let's get the armory,'
and /‘We're after the niggers," and no
hindrance was offered by the numer
ous sentries who stood guard at ev
ery street crossing.
Five minutes after the mob had
passed down Monroe street toward
the capitol a woman who lived near
the capitol telephoned that she heard
the shnut'ng of the mob and then had
heard pistol shots. Still a .few min
utes later word reached mi'ltnrv head
quarters that Dunniuglrin had been
strung up.
The mob acted with utter disre
gard of the soldiers, who were within
a few hundred feet of the scene of the
crime.
At one time thev even stopped
within earshot of the state arsenal
and listened to an address by a nan
who urged that they move on to
the arsenal and "see If the militia
men would use those toy pistols.’’
The mob vetoed the speaker and
shouted ‘ let's kill a nigger."
Then they swooped down to where
poor old Dunnlgan had been left to
shift for himself by other negroes,
who were younger and stronger and
could flee from the city during the
day time
As the” had so brutally treated the
old man the crowd triumphantly
msrrbed through the capttol grounds,
shooting at the eiectrlc light globes
surrounding the grounds.

The soldiers in the armory across
the street crept out under cover of
the shadows of the building and wait
ed for the mob to change Its course
and approach them. This the mob
failed to do. and then the soldiers
dashed out and broke through the
ranks of the mob. Instead of arrest
ing every member of the mob th«
soldiers started part of them up the
street and corraled the other purl
near the armory. After holding them
there for a while they permitted them
to go away In a direction opposite
to that taken by the other men.
WHOLE CITY IS
IN PANIC OF FEAR.
Intense excitement was created by
I the news of the: Dunnlgan murder and
I the whole city is now in a panic of
fear. Detachments of soldiers are
being hurriedly sent to other points
wher- rioting and violence are said
to be In progress.
On proclamation by Mayor Reece
and Sheriff Werner, Springfield closed
up tight at S o’clock this evening.
Not in twenty years has the city
j been as dark as it is now. A barber
shop here and there Is open and res
taurants and hotels are the only
places where one msy stop. Even the
J cars stopped early. Mayor Reece, In
: his proclamation, asked that business
i houses suspend at li p. m. and that
i people remain at their homes. Sheriff
Werner made the same request and
they have been fulrly well obeyed.
Hotel clerks and managers are do
ing work of the negro porters about
; their hotels. All the hotels employed
colored help In these capacities. This
morning when they showed up for
work the proprietors sent them home.
Homeless negroes of this city to
night are sleeping In peace in Camp
Lincoln, under protection of the atate
militia and under the shadow of the
monument, of Lincoln, as Governor D«-
neen Issued notice that the tents of
the state guard* he erected In the
camp grounds of the state on the
northwest corner of the city.
Those burned out were of the poor-
CHt class and among them were dis
reputables of all age* living In ab
ject poverty and disorder. All they
had has been burned up.
Leach Cross, who was matched to
fight Tommy Murphy six rounds at
the .Navarre A. stag at L'lrner Dark
!on September 1, now refuse* to make
any weight for Murphy, and It look*
as If the match will fall through
Gross' brother says that Leach would
only fight Murphy at. catch weights
As Johnny Oliver demands that
Cross weigh In at 122 pounds at the
ringside, this will probably kill the
j match.

This league Includes negroes In

Among other things this letter
says that while the negroes for forty
