LYNCHING OF THREE] A Very Deplorable Matter Occurs in a | Georgia Town j r ] t TRAGIC EVENT WAS UNEXPECTED | J O j Three Negroes Lynched For n Killing j Where the Condition of the riur- j i dered Alan's Family Was Consider- 1 ed By the Hob. J I Macon, (la.. Special.?An Albany) t dispatch to the Telegraph says: ! i "linker Comity was the scene of a t tripple lynching about 'J o'clock !-"i i- , day morning win n a mob of 50 do- i term! tied men entered the town of , Newton and secured possession , of (la: tie hi McCoy. \\ Hey Anette . and (leorge M< Kinney, Miller County negroes who had hcen arrested and i , l J lodged in jaii for the mu:\lci* last Sat < . urday r.ight of F. S. Hullard. pnr.nl- I , ' I nent white farm r of the seventh dis- | | trict of Baker County. The manner i in which the prisoners were obtained j ( is unique and altogether without pre- ' . cedent. Jailer Wm. Screws who re- I sides in the Jail, was awakened about I 12 o'clock by Bailiff U. C. Tucker, who 1 stated that he had a prisoner to place ' in the lock-en. The jailer hastily 1 donned his clothes and proceeded to I the jail. As soon as he had i unlocked the prison door lie was i < suddenly surrounded hy a swarm of i men with drawn revolvers, who do- j ; mended that he unlock the cell in j which the negroes were lodged. He | \ did as commanded under protest, and j ? the three negroes were dragged from < the jail, the prisoner or Tucker mak- < ing his escape ouring the excitement, i Their appeals for mercy was lost on the mob, who began beating and i t "Japping them as soon as they had I < left the jail door. ; ! "The moli lost no time In leaving ( Newton with the n groes and when ; a mile from town the three men were halted. nnnsPK tl.-l i.-.i and. amid tin* shouts of the men. were strung up. The moh fired several 1 hundred shots into the swaying hod- | 1 ies after which they quietly dispersed, j ( "The crime for which the negroes : were lynched occurred on-the planta- i . tion of Bullard last Saturday night ! ' during the progress of a dame given ' by one of Bollard's tenants.' Negroes I from Early. Miller and Decatur conn- 1 ties were present, and trouble was : started hv MrKinney and the others > putting out the lights. Just at this ' juncture Bullard appeared on the t scene and commanded order. His in- i ' terference was resented by the three j* negroes who opened fire on him with 1 revolvers. Bullard fell mortally ' 1 wounded and died on Tuesday. * 1 "Tiie negroes were arrested Tues- n day and lodged in jail at Newton. At , ( their eoinmitment trial it was proven 1 that the shot that killed Bullard was | fired by McKinnoy, and that Anetto I and McCoy also fired at him. The no j groen wt re remanded to jail to await 11 trial at the next session of Baker Su ' peiior Court, and absolutely no talk . of lynching was indulged in by < iti- ( zons. it is th<- consensus of opinion that the work of the moh was largely due to the fact that Bollard's family is ' left in a sad condition, his wife b ing la a hopeless invalid and several small ! j children are dependent. The lynching was a great surprise to the people of the county, as it was gcnorally be lieved that the law would he allowed | ] to take its course in their eases t:>?. lynching is g ncrally depluted."

Birmingham, Ala., Special.?A set- _ ? r tlement on a wage scale between op- ^ crators and miners is now in sight. The ,, operators have made an offer of 2Vj v cents per ton on both the maximum h and minimum wage scales of the ? miners, with a corresponding inciease In day labor and night work. The only t, difference in the present scale is that iron at. $12 is made the basis instead of $11. The miners went into executive session after receiving the offer to dis- (i cuss the same and there are probabili- Tl tics that it will bo accepted with some k minor changes. 11 Big Fire at /Milwaukee. n Milwaukee, Special.?Fire Friday n night practically destroyed the bulldlnar tl at 313,315-317 Grnnd Avenue, which ex- ? tends in an "L" shape to Third street. r< The fire was carried to the Davidson r; Hotel, on Third street and to the llos- r? ton store on Grand avenue.
