A Negro Lynched in Alabama. Montgomery, Ala., July 4.--News has reached Montgomery of the lynching of Robert White, a negro, near Tallassee, Elmore county. Chickens owned by White and his brother, Winston White, annoyed a truck farmer named Thomas, who killed the fowls. That night the two negroes fired several shots at Thomas, but did not hit him. Thomas returned the fire and slightly wounded Winston White. Robert White was arrested and while on the way to Wetumpka a mob took him from the officers and hanged him to a tree.
