DANGLE FROM SAME TREE Small but Well-Organized Mob at Russellville, Ky., Does Its Work. Quietly and Citizens Are Not Awakened. RUSSELLVILLE. Ky.. Aug. Li-Four negroes, Virgil, Tom and Robert (Jones and Joe Riley, were taken from Jail hers early today and banged to a tree on the edge of town. No shots were fired by the mob, which was composed of about 50 men, and the people of the town knew nothing of the affair until daylight revealed the four bodies dangling from a tree Just outside Russellville on the Nashville Pike-. The following note was found pinned on one of the bodies: "Let this be a warning to you niggers to leave white people alone or you will go the same nay. Hugh Rogers better shut up or quit town." The negroes' who were lynched were members of a lodge, and at a meeting re cently, it Is said, they approved the mur der of James Cunningham, a white farmer, by his negro tenant. Rufus Brow der. This murder occurred In the south ern part of Logan County, and It Is sup posed here that the mob was made up of men from that part of the county. Jail 'Was Not Guarded. The negroes had been in Jail for several days, and. while, there had 'been consid erable unrest since the attempt on the part of the mob to take Browder, the slayer of Cunningham, from jail some nights ago, no real trouble was antici pated and there was no guard around the prison. The effort to get Browder failed. owing to the fact that he was spirited out of the jail by the Sheriff and sent to Bowling Green and later to Louisville, where he Is now confined awaiting trial. The mob came into town so quietly that not one of the residents was awakened. Proceeding at once to the county Jail they summoned the Jailer, Jack Butts, to the door, his residence balng directly connected with the prison. When he ap peared, he found himself covered by rifles and shotguns and was given the com mand to turn over the keys or be shot down. After a short parlay with the members of the mob In which he tried to persuade them to go away without violence, he finally handed over the keys. Two of the negroes, not being given time to dress, were taken along In their night shirts, and the whole party pro ceeded at once to a tree on the outskirts of the city on the Nashville Pike, where the negroes were strung up In a row. Contrary to usual custom of mobs, no shots were fired at swinging victims, and the mob dispersed as soon as it had finished its work. There is no clue to the members of the band, as the Jailer, the only witness, did not recognize them. The bodies of the negroes were cut down during the morning. Cause of Lynching. The negroes were members of a lodge In the southern part of Logan County, and just when the entire county was stirred up by the brutal murder of Mr. Cunning ham by Browder, they held a meeting and expressed approval of Browder's deed. Excitement In that vicinity ran so high for a time that It was feared a race war would result, but the four leaders In the meeting were arrested and brought to this city, and these were the men lynched early today. The murder which started the trouble was one of the most brutal in the history of Logan County- Browder, who was a tenant of Cunningham, had been dis charged, and upon leaving swore ven geance. The next day he returned and laid In wait for Cunningham. When the latter came near his hiding place Browder fired at him, killing him instantly. The negro then escaped, but was captured and placed In Jail here. A mob was Im mediately formed, but the Sheriff had Browder taken into the woods for the night, and when the mob made Its ap pearance succeeded In convincing it that the negro was not In the jail. The band I dispersed and the next morning Browder Louisville. was taken to tsownng ureen, ana later to The meeting of the negro lodge and its Indorsement of Browder's deed occurred Immediately afterward. The tree from wnlch the negroes were hanged has been used for the same pur pose before. Merely Burial Society. LOUISVILLE. Ky., Aug. L Louis Browder. the negro who, killed James Cunningham, Is In the county jail here, having been brought here a week ago from Bowling Green for safe keeping. When told by- a reporter that the four negroes had been taken from jail at Russellville and lynched, he said: "It's awful news that tha boys have I hope they don't get me. Browder said he was acquainted with the negroes who were lynched, as they all worked on farms In the same vicinity He said the order to which they belonged was a society known as the "True Re formers." Browder claimed that It was a society formed to provide insurance ; and burial. He said there was no race I tiira tn If on1 rlalmorl that it YtaA hpon well thought of by white people.

L There is much excite ment among the labor leaders of Paris over the outcome of the recent trouble at Vigneux. That the government Is to forever crush such demonstrations Is gen erally recognized, as the laboring classes have reached a feverish If not dangerous state of unrest. Whether the situation will grow worse it Is hard to say, but It should be recalled that the history of French labor movements generally shows that turbulence quickly dies out. How ever, at this moment the revolutionary branch of the unionists Is worked up to an unusual pitch on account of the shoot ing down by the troops at Vigneux of the demonstrators and the arrest of various labor leaders. The government is preparing to pre vent outbreaks on Sunday and Monday, when a second strike called by the Fed eration of Labor Is due to take effect Additional arrests of labor leaders are planned. A great majority of the French news papers continue to condemn unequivo cally tha. laborltes for the Vigneux riots.
