FATHER AND SON LYNCHED.
Ellensburg, Wash., August 14—Samuel Vinson and his son Charles were taken out of the county jail by a mob early this morning and hanged to a tree. The two men became involved in a saloon row last Sunday night and murdered Michael Kohloph and Joseph N. Bergman.
The Topeka State Journal (Topeka, Kansas) dated August 15, 1888:
It is borne in on the "average reader's" mind that no matter how a race trouble originates in the south, the negro is always lynched—always.
