A NEGRO LYNCHED. Montgomery, Ala., July 3.-Robert White, a negro, was lynched yesterday near Tallahassee, Elmore county. Robert White and brother, Winston, were tenants on the farm of a Mr. Goodwin and their chickens annoyed a truck farmer named Thomas. The latter killed all the fowls belonging to the Whites. Monday night the two negroes attacked Thomas and fired several shots at him, but doing no damage, 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.
