Roanoke, Va, Sept. 21—Nine persons were killed and a score in jured, several fatally, during a con- tlict between the militia and enrag- ed mob at the jail last night. The mob stormed the city’s prison in an effort to lynch Robert Smith a ne assaulted Mrs. Heury Bishop, the wife of » well-to- The soldiers tired a deadly volley only after shots had been fired by members of the mob. During the excitement, Smith was removed from the jail by the officers and secreted. A searching party, however, found the hiding place early this morning and took | Smith from the authorities. They hanged him and dragged his body by a rope to the riverside aud there burned it.

Mayor Trout was shot in th. litia and the mayor and once more started for the jail. At this moment Judge Woods of the Hasting court climbed on a box and demanded that the mob disperse in the cause of law and public decency. He said Smith had been removed from the jail during the mob’s attack and had been secreted. To prove his state- ments he took two members of the mob through the jail. This, with the speech of J. Allen Watts, Demo cratic candidate for the United States senate, seemed to pacify the mob, though many remained the jail for several hours. At midnight matters had quieted down and the militia was on guard at the jail by order of the mayor. THE NEGRO HANGED AND HIS BURNED. Twenty men took the negro Smith from Policeman James at 4 o'clock this morning and hanged him to a hickory limb.
