Another baud with 'rifles and shut-
guns soon followed, headed by Caleb
Smith, Mrs. Dee's father, determined
on having the negro.
Mayor Hutchins, Rev. Mr. Slianklo
and the best citizens counseled order. ]
The mayor telephoned Judge Jones and
secured a promise that he would con
vene court next Monday to try the

Smith calmed down and went home,
but later he returned with n greater
crowd, announcing that Mrs. Decs was
hardly expected to lire.
Mayor Hutchins had previously
[Wired the governor for troops, antlci-
Dating the Inevitable. The troops
■wore promised, but failed to arrive
by Che first train, although the train
iwao held one hour at Atlanta.
Sheriff Shellnut, from Buchanan, did
not arrive on the scene till nearly
-dork.
Hopes and cartridges were openly
jrorchased, and at 7:30 o’clock the
mob morChed, broke down tho cala
boose door, seised the negro and rush-
■ed him to the scene of the crime. Tlie
.sheriff was In front of the book store

Mgh cross beams, a noose placed
.around bis neck and in another mo
ment the body was dangling In spare,
»nd soon thereafter riddled with abut
sand ball and left swinging.
The next train'brought a company
•f soldiers from Atlanta, under com
mand of Captain Burton Smith. The
train was rushed on by Conductor
Waitte, who stopped It at the river,
hoping that the troops might arrive
In time to prevent the lynching, but
they were lust a few minutes too late.
Displayed Great Stoicism.

The mob soon dispersed. This Is
tho first lynching that has ever occur

(profoundly regret It
The arrival of the troops by the first

RACKET STORE
I.ondon, Oct 27.—Tho report cabled
from the United States that Prince and
Princess of Wales probably would via
It the St. Louis exposition lu la04 cre
ated much interest here. The news
occupied a prominent place In all the
newspapers. Surprlso was cxpiessed
m official circles at the question be
ing publicly discussed at all. At York
house, the residence of the Prince and
Princess of Walts, a representative
of the Associated Press was told
that nothing was known officially on
the subject. From Inquiries in other
quartets, however, the Associated
Press learned that while no official In
vitation had been extended, the matter
had been unofficially presented to the
king, who returned a polite, non-com
mittal reply. It is pointed out that
the question of acceptance or declina
tion must, of course, await the trans
mittal of an official Invitation from the
United States government.
Com. Patch 8ays Things Are Quiet
Washington, Oct. 27.—A cablegram
was received at the navy department
today from Commander Patch, of the
United Statea Cruiser Montgomery,
which Is on her way from Colon to San
Juan, stating that he had found every
thing quiet at San Domingo City, where
It was reported last week that a re
bellion had broken out. This being
the case, the Montgomery wffl carry
out her original orders, and as soon
as she has replenished her stores at
San Juan, she will relieve the Cincin
nati, which la stationed at Cape Hal-
tien, allowing the latter vessel to come
northward. The Ranger, which has
been on duty at Panama for several
weeks past, has started for San Fran
cisco. In announcing her soiling from
Panama, the commander of the Ranger
made no mention of the supposed ar
rival In Panama bay of the newly ac
quired Colombian gunboat Bogota,
which Is expected to clear the Insur
gent navy out of isthmian waters.

ganize In American style.
When the Bogota arrived here Rear
