Died in custody
Name not reported
A Black man was held at Elizabeth station in March 1905, according to a Deseret Evening News report from March 6, 1905. The report says a deputy had him in custody and that a mob took him from the deputy and hanged him. The article is a damaged OCR text, so his name, age and the exact date are unknown, and the report ties the events to a shooting that killed Dr. William G. Oliphant, a link the surviving text does not confirm.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched
Reported by: Vicksburg newspaper report (OCR text, garbled) (reporters).
