Mob Lynches Negroes.

Two negroes. George Call, alias Toney, and John Shaw, alias Fisht, met death at the hands of a mob in Lynchburg, Tenn. There is no dew to the identity of the lynchers. The negroes were about 18 years old. Ropes were around their necks and it was the intention to hang them, but the negroes showed fight and were shot to death. The negroes were whipped by White Caps a year ago and run out of town, but returned.
