Eighteen Negroes Killed By Whites. Race War at Slocum, Texas. All Saloons Closed and State Troops Marching to the Scene. Palestine, Texas, July 30, 1910. At least eighteen negroes were killed in a racial clash in the extreme eastern section of Anderson county last night and today, the culmination of an enmity between the races brewing for several weeks. Less conservative reports place the total fatalities at between thirty and forty. It was also reported that several white men were either killed or wounded, but all rumors as to casualties among the whites have met an authoritative denial.
