Thorndale, Texas, June 20.--The
whittling of a stick led to the killing
of Charles Zeitung, a garage owner,
and the subsequent lynching of a Mex
ican youth here last night. Whether
the boy was a citizen of the United
States or of Mexico is not known. The
sheriff of Milam county went to Thom-
dale this morning to investigate.
The Mexican, a lad of about 18
years, whose name has not been ascer-
ined, was sitting on the sidewalk,
in front of Zeitung’s garage eai'ly last
night, industrially wielding his pocket
knife and making a mile of shavings.
Zeitung protested against the litering
up of the entrance to his place of
business, and ordered the youth to
stop. This, according to bystanders, an
gered the Mexican and he stabbed Zei
tung through the heart.
