In a fight with An armed posse near here late today. Joe Richmond was'^ shot and killed, and his brother. King I Richmond, both negroes, was serious- * ly wounded, later the *>ody of tho dead negro was burned at the stake with his wounded brother in Buford Tl Park, in Sulphur Springs. The negroes early today had shot and killed Deputy Sheriff Nathan A. Fllppen and probably fatally wounded Sheriff J. B. Butler. "J When the posse arrived her? with w the negroes a large crowd had gathered and demonstrated the burning ^ to be staged in the public square. Several Influential men counselled j that the bodies be not burnod, saying there was nothing to be gained, since * one negro was already dead and the other probably fatally wounded. Finally, however, the mob removed ^ the dead and wounded negroes to Buford Park, in the outskirts of the city, where they were burned. There was little disorder and as soon as the ^ bodies had been burned the crowd quietly dispersed. The sheriff and his deputy had started to arrest King Richmond on ^ a minor charge at a negro settlement south of here.' Both negroes, without warning, opened fire, killijig Flip- n) pen Indtaatly ana wounding Butter. The negroes beat Butler over the ^ head and he 1b said to be in a pre- ( carious condition. ( Within a short time hundreds of w armed men were searching for the ^ negroes. They were located in a q| wood in the afternoon and in the ^ battle that ensued Joe Richmond cc was killed and his brother wounded. w Peace officers, who joined in the search, were far in the minority in ^ the posse and unable to cope with the mob spirit. It is estimated 1,500 men and boys j trailed the negroes to their hiding | place in the woods. The negroes,'"1 brought to bay, fired several shots,!'" but their fighting was of short dura-| tion, as the posses fired hundreds of ^ shots into the covert. Gi It was learned tonight that Sheriff Butler wounded one of the negroes | ^ at the time lie and the deputy sought to arrest them at the settlement. Six thousand people hud gathered '' in the public square here when the , posses arrived with the dead and! ^ ( wounded negroes. Pleas of cooler heads were unavailing and the mob carried out its work in Btiford Park with little ceremony. Ti Sheriff Butler's wounds consist of] a broken arm, a shot through the top of his head and three fractures of!(}< the skull.
