MOB SEEKS PRISONER.
Negro Who Slashed Little Rock Woman
Is Surrounded by Mob.
Little Rock, Sept. 30.—This
afternoon shortly before 5 o’clock
Mrs. Lehman Loeb, while pass
ing through her residence on
West Third street, heard a noise
in the direction of the bathroom.
She at once repaired to the scene
of the noise, and immediately
upon opening the door of
the bathroom was seized by a
burly negro and horribly slashed
about the neck and arms with a
razor . The negro, whose name
is Joe Mays, escaped from the
house and ran down an alley,
where he was intercepted by
Deputy Constable Sam Spight,
who happened in the neighbor
hood. Spight grabbed the flee
ing negro, when Mays again
pulled his razor and cut the
officer several times on the head
and neck, inflicting very serious
wounds. Mays continued down
the alley, and was finally cap
tured by Deptity Constable Geo.
Lewis and others.
Mrs. Loeb was cut twice on
the neck, one of the wounds nar
rowly escaping the jugular vein.
Physicians say her escape from
instant death was mi aculous.

. Mays was placed in jail, and

every precaution to prevent a
lynching tonight. The entire1

crime.
Mays says another negro was
with him, but no trace of his
companion could be found. He
says robbery was his motive.
At least one thousand men
congregated in and around the1
county jail at 9 o’clock tonight
and demanded that Mays be;
turned over to them, but Sheriff ;
Kavanaugh assured the crowd
that the negro was not in the j
jail. He declined to say where;
he was. Up to a late hour the
crowd was still surrounding the j
jail. Sheriff Kavanaugh says
he removed Mays from the jail
shortly after dark.
