Marion County Sheriff Saves Negro From Would Be Lynchers

Sheriff Chapman and Deputy Sheriff Bell, of Marion County undoubtedly saved the 
neck of Daniel Rushin, a Buena Vista negro, who Judge Lynch was preparing to 
try Thursday night before his tribunal.  Rushin, who is partially demented, 
roughly treated a little girl in Buena Vista.  The alleged act incensed many 
citizens and Sheriff Chapman was warned that an attempt would be made to storm 
the jail and lynch Rushin.  Putting the prisoner in his automobile Sheriff 
Chapman rushed  him to Americus for safekeeping.
