There was a rural touch to Springfield Jn 1903. Cows were driven through the atreet on their way to pastures and sometimes OTTTIN TAWNY and flower gardens. As a result It was necessary to - make a determined effort to emorce the city ordinance ghinst cows being berded in streets unless driven by competent herdsmen. The same thing applied to bogs. There were Indications of progresa though for on thelober 34, 1903, the last mule car made Ita run from the aquaro to the old normo! achoof at Cherry streot aod Pick wick avenue. It was a Hne Independent of the electric railway company.
" Electric cars started running over the line and did the entire trip in the time !! look the mules to xo three or four blocks.
On June 26. 1904, St. Paul's church at the corner of Walnut street and Jefferson avenue was opened. At that time It was the largeat and most attractive of all the city churches and cost In the neighborhood of $50.000: 1904 was world's fair year at St. Loula and the Friaco was forced to run extra trains to bandle 2)the visitors from the southwest. For the sake of safety, small "blook" stations were placed at most all awitches and were at- tended by telegraphers. Each utatlon had a certala distance over which It had jurisdiction and allowed only one train In Its "block" at & time. The people of Springfield attended the fair in droves, the best month as far as railway passenger receipta being Oc- inber. when 60 percent of the $45.000 taken In at the ticket office was for transportation to St. Louis.

On April 14, 1906, a mob of about 5000 people formed and bung three negroes on a tower lo the public square.

The first isnebing or- curred at 11 p. m. The mob then went back to the jafl and took another negro, charged with the murder of a man on the Drury campus, hack to the square where. in the early hours of the morning. he was huog and his body burned. One of the alleged tenders was arrested the next day by the milldia that had been called out and had placed Springfield under martial law. He was tried but the case ended Jo @ "hung" jury. The muinitia stayed but a few days and deparled, for the city was normal all the time except on the day and night of the lynchings.
