Taken From Jail and Hanged
By Mob.
SHERIFF HAS FIERCE FIGHT.
When Mob Appeared He Seized Two
Pistols and at Top of Stairway of
Jail Defied Mob to Take His Priaoner?Waa
Badly Wounded. ..
Nashville, Tenn., June 30.?A special
to The Banker from Scottsboro, Ala.,
eaye Andrew Dlggs, a negro, was tak- |
en rrom the Jail last night anil hanged
by a mob.
The negro was arrested Sunday for
an attempt to criminally assault Miss
Alma, the 19-year-old daughter of Dr.
B. B. Smith, and the first that Sheriff
Austin knew of the mob was when it
put in an appearance In the hallway of
the jail. Tli/e sheriff seized two pistols
an J mountains the stairs said ho
would kill any one that attempted to
oomo up. Tho throat was mot with
a volley, and the sheriff emptied his
revolver in reply. Before he could
reload he was shot down. One shot
took effect In his right leg and the
other in his pistol arm. thereby disabling
him. The daughter of tbo
sheriff ran to her father and was as
onco covered by a pistol In the hands
of a member of the mob and made to
deliver the keys to the cell In which
tho negro was immured. Tho cell
was quickly unlocked and the trembling
negro was led out with a halter.
He was marched to & piace in the west
eiuLof the town, where the other end
?f the rope was thrown over a crossarm
of a telegraph pole and the nogro
was drawn up.
The telephone wires were cut so as
to prevent calling for aid, and ono of
the masked men went across the
square and summoned a doctor who
responded promptly and dressed the
wounds of the sheriff.
Sheriff Austin had no Intimation of
the intended lynching and made no
preparations to put on extra guards.
The lynching was so quietly conducted
that only a few people knew of the
approach of the mob or the hanging
until they went down town this morning.
The body was cut down and
burled today, and there Is very little
excitement.
The negro made a confession to the
brother of the young fady and others

himself at the pipe organ and began
playing a prelude. Before one
realized it the ear wa9 strainiDg itsell
to catch the distant notes of a full
chorus. Like the swelling of a brcsze
the music increased until the choir
stood before the audience pouring
out the anthem, Agnus, Dei, St. Cecelia
Mass; O. H. Gounod. From
prelude to amen this selection held
deepest attention. The anthem was
succeeded by piano, organ and

RIOT IN NEGRO CHURCH.
Five Hundred Shots Fired?WIme Man
Fatally Injured.
Columbus, Ga., Juno 30.?John Cash.
& white man about JO years old, was
probably fatally shot by Henry White,
a negro, at a nogro church 8 miles
west of Hamilton, near Five Points,
In Harris county.
Cash went to the church drunk, and
began raising a disturbance, when
White shot him seven times with a
pistol, nearly all the bullets taking
effect.
The negro congregation became
greatly excited and it is said that
something like 500 shots were fired,
although Cash was the only person inJurod
so far as reported.
It is a singular coincidence that
White's father, Henry White, Sr., once
killed a white man. It is said, that
the white man was one of a party try
ing to whiteeap him.

Sum of Money.
New York. .Mine 30.?Reports of a
large defalcation In the accounts of
the Harmonic club, New York's most
exclusive Hebrew social organization,
have been followed, it is stated, by the
disappearance of the club's caahler.
i First reports of the shortAgo in the
I cash account placed the loss at a hlah
figure, but It Is now believed the sum
will not exceed $15,000. The shortage
was discovered when the bank
books were produced. Until that)
point was reached during the investigation
it Rftcnio.i likely that many mem.
bois might be called upon to pay tnelf
dues and restaurant bill for ait entire
year, a second time.
