Excitement at Cameron.
-----
Cameron, Tex., Oct. 21.--A negro man by the name of Alex Johnson was placed in
jail here this afternoon on a charge of criminal assault. He was arrested
by former Sheriff Robert Todd. Mr. Todd experienced great difficulty in
getting the man away from an enraged mob, who were determined to hang or burn
him. There is a great deal of excitement in the neighborhood where the
crime was committed.
