The Weekly Constitution, Atlanta, Ga. June 28, 1892
Mobile, Ala., June 21. -- Christian Chalma was hanged to a tree Saturday 
between Healing Springs and Buckatunna.  Chalma lived near the Mississippi line 
and a short time ago his house was burned and he accused William Woods of 
arson.  Chalma was considered a bad character, Woods was his neighbor and a man 
of good standing. Woods was brought before a justice and on his refusal to 
commit him Chalma threatened to kill Woods and later attempted it.  He was 
overpowered and a posse decided to take him to jail at Winchester, Miss.  On 
the way Chalma threatened to murder all the guards and at Red Creek the posse 
lost their temper and hanged him.
