ARMED MEN AWAITED THEM Colored Man Is Barred By Whit* Workmen In Illinois—Bloody Tragedy Narrowly Averted. - General Manager Aertsen, of the La trede Steel and CouplerV.'orks, at Mel rose Park, III., gave out a statement Thursday evening declaring that the company has abandoned tne effort to bring the colored laborers to Melrose Park and that they vvul be sent back to their homes in Alabama. All day the 300 colored men sat in their cars at LaGrange, twenty light miles from Chicago, in fear. A com¬ mittee of five citizens of Melrose Park called on them during the morning and used their best endeavors to induce the men to return to Alabama. The committee informed the colored men of the actual state of afiairs at Melrose Park, where 300 armed men were awaiting the arrival of their train, de¬ termined that the colored men should not be allowed to alight in the village. Their statements alarmed the eol .•ored men more than ever and finally five of them stepped off the train and made their way into Chicago, where they sought an interview with the authorities for protection, which they could not give them, as the trouble was not within the city limits. After the five men had left the train, the fears of those left on the train in¬ creased greatly, and it was with great difficulty that the train management kept them from running off in a panic. Nearly ail of the colored men declared that they would not go to Melrose Park and that if taken there on the train they would refuse to get off. At 2 o'clock Marshal Rau, of the town of LaGrange, ordered the train bearing the colored men to move out of the village. It did so and was placed on a sidinfg at Sait Creek, two miles north of LaGrange. JESUP. GEORGIA. FRIDAY. AUGUST 2. 1001. In the meantime attorneys for the steel company called upon Sheriff Ma gerstadt and asked that the company be given ample protection against tha mob violence which was threatened They stated positively that the labor¬ er. 1 ; would be landed in the shops of the company whether the sheriff fur nished any aid or not. “I have just received a telegram from Adjutant General Reece, offering me the aid of the state militia if I need it," said Sheriff Magerstadt, after his conference with the attorneys, “but I will not need it. I have sent a half dozen men to Melrose Park simply to make a report to me on the conditions there. If they say that a mob of 300 armed men are patrolling the streets. as the officials of the company inform me, I will swear in a number of depu ties and will preserve the peace at all hazards. However, I am not going to cali upon the militia, as the county <s capable of preserving the peace whatever happens." Out at Melrose Pari the armed cit¬ izens remained on watch until assured the negroes were not coming, when they dispersed. MRS. DAVIS IMPROVED. Reports cf Her Condition Were More Alarming Than True.
