Name not reported
A man held in the jail at Bloomfield, Illinois, was taken from the jail by a mob and lynched, according to a Crittenden Press account published on November 30, 1899. The paper does not give his name, and the name in the OCR text is garbled, so it is not recorded here. The date of the killing is not given.
