Ruth Sossaman. a 1-year-old white girl,
hot and killed Roy Hoyle. a special
policeman, and Alderman Sudney Lyon,
chairman of the city council, waa shot
In the hand. The attack on the girl waa
mad -yesterday morning, and a taw
houra later Roblnaon was captured and
Identified by hie victim, rearing that
a mob would attack the Jell, Sheriff
Fatoh had Roblnaon taken Into the coun
try Aa waa expected, the mob attacked
the Jail, and WM met by the sheriff,
who Informed them that Roblnaon was
not lnelde, and Invited a committee of
the mob to search the building. About
40 man walked through the corridor,
where Hoyle and Alderman Lyons were
tending. While the jail waa Doing
aearched by part of the mob the othera
became excited and tried to battef down
the door. While thU waa auin on
someone fired a. shot, and In a aecond
the air was fined with bullets. One of
these atruck Hoyle and he died about
two houra later. Another hit Alderman
Lyons In the hand, and despite hie
wound he appeared on the atepa of the
Jail, and In a speech pacified the greater
part of the mob.
There were, however, unruly spirits In
the mob, and under the leadership of
one man part of them atarted toward
the negro section of the city, shouting,
"We will give the blacks what they got
at Atlanta." The negroes ran to cover.
In the meantime the police had been
poured Into that aectlon of the city and
dispersed the mob. Great fears are en
tertained that there will be an outbreak,
and Governor Jelka has ordered three
companies of the militia to be brought
here. Some of- the soldiers arrived to
day, and It Is expected by night the
city will be under military rule. The
feeling agalnat'the negroes, on account
of recent attacks an white women and
girls. Is growing bitter and trouble la
looked for slmoat any time.
After It became known that Roblnaon
was held B biding by the officers out

on a train, determined to go to a little
place about eight mites from the city
and lynch the negro, but when they ar
rived there the offlcera and their pris
oner had dlaappeared. At I o'clock thta
morning the mob returned to the city
disappointed, but declaring that they
will yet punish the negroes.

Amador -would aay nothing about the
case, except to deny fhe truth of the
complaint- The woman was defeated
only a weak ago In the supreme court,
when ahe brought a breach of promise
ault agatnat Amador. Mrs. Oreaham waa
Bertha Keniiard, daughter of William
Kennard of Washington, once page to
Henry' Clay. She first married Rear
Admiral Friable, who died, leaving her
$10,000. Bhe next married Lieutenant
William Gresham of the navy, and la his
widow.

dren.. It la asserted -that Mra. Oreaham
wrote the fanfoua Corea letters, the
anonymous epistles, which Informed
Mra Hah Jordan or Mason. Georgia, that
her fiance, Don Lula F. Cores, minister
at Washington for Nicaragua, waa a
negro. Tha fact that the letters ware
written became public and the conse
quent notoriety led to the breaking of

Oeorge 8. Shepherd, president of the
city council, is going to resign his po
sition at the head of that body, not Im
mediately but soon. He win take that
step, which he aaya ha haa contem
plated for soma time, not at tha be
hest of any of hla constituents or be
cause he thtnka ha la not serving the
people well, but because ha does not
desire to longer remain In a position
where his acts might be misconstrued
or where he might be the subject of
adverse public criticism.
Shepherd will bid hla frlenda of the
council adlsu In a short time, that la,
as soon sa hs haa seen through to pas
sage or defeat the public building or
dinance and" soma other measures In
which ha ta Interested. He la also un
der a tacit promise, he aaya to remain
In office until euch time aa the mem
bers of the council now absent shall
return to ine cuy ana do reeay to elect
hla successor.
Mr. Shepherd waa In a talkative
mood thta morning when hs waa asked
whether or not ha Intended to resign,
and hs discussed the question. "Can
man serve two masters at the sams
timer' freely.
"My attitude," aald the prealdant of
the council, "haa been In effect all the
time that of an opponent to the South
ern Pacific and all tha other railroads,
unless It waa the Northern Pacific, for
I refused to vote on all Harrlman prop
ositions while I did vote on the ques
tion of the Hill franchises and did what
H could to help that system to gain
entrance Into the city.
"1. by not voting, defeated that east
aids franchlae ordinance." continued
Mr. Shepherd, taking another tack on
his subject and reaching for a copy of
the city charter. "Hera you will see
by section ST of the charter that It
takes a two thirds vota to pa.es an
ordinance and In the event of Its being
vetoed by the mayor it requires a three
fourtha vote. Now I have refrained
from voting on all Harrlman questions
and my alienee counta aa a negative
vote, therefore, after tha mayor had
vetoed tha franchlae ordinance and It
failed to go over hla head by one vote
I defeated Ita final passage. Didn't IT
and Mr. Shepherd looked the question
aa wall as asked it.
Mr. Shepherd says further thst the
only people who want him to realgn
are the Harrlman people, though of
course they have not asked him to atep
down, but have left It to hla own choice.
"I work for the Oregon a Washing
ton railroad." aald Mr. Shepherd, "and
have dona all my railroad bualneas In
Waahlngton looking up tltlea to Wash
ington land. Mr. Fenton did not know
that I worked for tha Harrlman inter
ests until about two weeka ago. Now
then thsy would Just ss isave I would
realgn from the council because prac
tically I vote against every Harrlman
proposition that cornea up. But thay
have left It to ma and I am going to
resign because I do not think It la fair
to the railroad company for tee to
work for them and vote against them
on everything, and also I do not wish
to remain In a position Where I can
be unjustly criticised, for my record
has been good and I have done nothing
that I am ashamed of."
And In thla manner Mr. Shepherd
serves notice that hla efforts In the
public behalf as president of the coun
cil are soon to draw to a oloee.
