WHITES ADVANCING INTO
LITTLE AFRICA;' NEGRO ,
DEATH LIST IS ABOUT 15
There was an unconfirmed report at 6 o'clock that
Jirce more white men had been killed in the latest clash
with the blacks, but it could not be verified. 1
With the coming of dawn this morning, following a
night of race rioting and death, hundreds of armed
white men in motor cars formed a circle of steel about
"Little Africa," and a continuous raltlle of rifle and re
volver fire could be heard.
a Sixty or seventy automobiles filled with armed men I
'were in the line drawn about the black belt and there)
were many reports to the effect that they planned to, i
range through the negro settlement and "clean it out." I
At 5:30 the death list was estimated as high as fif- 1
teen. Though no whiles were known to be killed save
two unidentified men listed in The World, reports to I
police headquarters from members of the white bands I
who had been at "the front" between the line of armed !
whites and "Little Africa" said they had counted the I
bodies of more than a dozen
streets.
While the bands of armed white men in motor cars
were surrounding the negro district six airplanes were
circling over the section. Scattered along the Frisco
tracks and in streets immediately south were between
500 and 1,000 more armed white men. Talk of driving
into "Little Africa" could be heard on all sides.
At 5:45 the white forces were pushing into "Little
Africa" from the south, bands of white riflemen being
reported atElgin and Archer. They were reported to
be shooting iritoMiouies "and at all negroes in sight.
There was no report of the extent of casualties. Thtf
negroes were not returning the fire very spiritedly, ilj
was reported, but negro snipers were shooting from'
housetops and windows.
Shortly after 2 o'clock this morning, the row of frame
buildings on the east side of Boston avenue north of ttd
Frisco tracks was fired, but because there was no wind, the
flames burned themselves out and did not spread to the Cin
cinnati avenue block which sheltered several hundred
negroes.
At 3 o'clock the fire had gained sufficient headway to de
stroy all the buildings except, the residence on the north end
of the block. When this building was burned, six negroes
who had been firing from the house at the whites were
driven from cover and five of the six who ran from the house
were killed. White men who took up their station at Arctr
and Boston before 3 o'clock, succeeded in pushing their line
almost to Cincinnati avenue in the face of fire from the
negroes. The negroes, however, made no dashes from their
places of hiding and 'except for the firing of a few shots at
intervals, did not attempt to dtslodgu whites in the negn
section of the city.
Members of the crowd of 500 whites around the Frisco
depot about 5 o'clock this morning engaged in a spirited bat
tic with several negroes perched on housetops. However, the
aim of the blacks was bad and no whites were injured, but
three negroes were killed within a short space of time.
One of the blacks was perched on a two-story brick build
ing on Archer. He raised up to fire but one of the whites
with an army rifle beat him to it and the black toppled, ap
parently dead. The other two blacks were hiding on Archer
and were dropped by the white.sharpshooters.
Three other black bodies were lying near the depot at day
light this morning. Two bodies had been removed.
T.i'c Brady, proprietor of the Brady hotel, who was a mem
t'fr f white men on guard duty along North Main street all
Mgrt, said he counted the bodies of fiVe negroes.
1 i'p negro was dragged behind an automobile, with a rope
ft " it his neck, through the business district.
l; P"rts that three Frisco switchmen and a fireman, mem
''f t "f a switching crew, had been shot to death by negroes
i"' i m they refused to haul the blacks out of town, could

r.p,,rt from the Oklahoma hospital at o:-'i0 said three
" win nded white men had been brought there, but that
' ' were seriously injured. The names were not secured.

BULLETIN :
There are two dead negroes al the Frisco depot.
After six hours of race rioting. oxtcndliiK over (he entire
city, two white men nre known to lie dead and about a score
are known to be injured.
There are no known neKro fatalities, lhourh reports are
that several were killed. One injured neKro is at the police
station and is expected momentarily to die.
Thousands of shots were fired duriiiK the rioting, crowds
swarmed up anil down the streels brandishing weapons and
the greatest excitement prevailed.
Roth of the white men known to have been killed were
shot through the head.
The city, patroled by 4T automobiles filled with armed
men, while r00 armed men with their center on the Frisco
railway station within a stone's
1,000 negroes, form the nucleus of the gathering white
forces.
There was a furious outburst of firing in the vicinity of
the Frisco tracks and Cincinnati about 2:150 this morning,
but whether there were any casuultics could not bo ascer
tained.

Firing which for two hours was general over tho city
and centered in the north part of the business district follow
ing the first outbreak at the courthouse about J 0 : 1 5 o'clock
last night declined at 1 o'clock after a crowd of !I0 negroes
were driven from Second street and Cincinnati avenue.
In response to a call from Muskogee, indicating several
hundred negroes were on their way to tho city to assist Tulsa
negroes should the fighting continue, a machine gun squad
loaded on a truck, went cast of the city with orders to stop at
ail hazards these armed men.
For three hours city officials, under direction of J. F.
Adkison, police commissioner, and Charles Daley, inspector
of police, with the assistance of part of the home guard com
pany, formed armed white men into companies and these
companies were inarched to advantageous positions. Hun
dreds of t ars were volunteered for line by the armed patrol
of tin; city, and these were speedily detailed to prevent
armed negroes from taking action except in the negro dis
trict of the city.
About 12:.'J0 a. m., when an armed party of whites,
scouring the vinicity of the Frisco station after an attack by
blacks, at the corner of second and Cincinnati, mistook a
lone while man for a negro, and fired a round of at least
25 shots at the white pedestrian. Death was instantaneous
and he was hit so many times his body was mangled almost
past identification.
The last car containing whito men through the negro
district, which made the trip shortly after midnight, re
ported that at least 1,000 armed negroes were gathered north
of the Frisco depot. One white mail was badly beaten by
negroes when he attempted to

Thousands of persons,
several hundred women, and
able weapon in the city taken from every hardware and
sporting goods store, swarmed on Second street from Boulder
to Boston avenue watching the gathering volunteer army or
offering their services to the peace officers.
Intermittantly throughout the two hours following mid
night, shots were fired into the air by the whito forces, but
except for a few stray shots firod by whites at the Frisco
depot and returned by the negroes, the city remained in
quiet. The aimed cars containing negroes were driven from
the streets before 1 o'clock, and the patrols continued scour
ing the city, arresting negroes and placing them In the city
'jail. Twelve were captured
o clock. No attempt was macs however to disperse the
negro mob north of the Frisco depot.
Armed with weapons ranging from shotguns to .22 cali
ber target rifles, men filtered into the police station singly
or in auto loads. Ammunition was scarce and the entire
supply of virtually every store in town carrying such goods
was confiscated before midnight.
