WHITECAPPERS AT WORK. Drive Negro Hands from an Arkansas Sawmill and Close It. WYNNE, Ark., Aug. 22. -- A Deputy Mar- shal has arrested eleven prominent white planters of Poynsett County on the charge of whitecapping. The prisoners will be ta- ken to Helena to appear before the United States District Court. The negro laborers employed at a sawmill in Poynsett County were recently forced to leave under threats of violance by a band of white planters, causing the mill to sus- pend. The arrests were made at the insti- gation of the mill owner. ________________________________ The New York Times Published: August 23, 1903
