Columbia, S.C., Nov. 20—County and city police authorities were thrown into a turmoil here early today when a mysterious telephone report of a lynching came to headquarters, and responding they found on the roadside, near the city, the remains of three dummies hanged in effigy at the side of the main highway, representing Bruce Craven of North Carolina, Henry P. Fox of Tennessee, and C. Anderson Wright of Georgia, alleged enemies of the Ku Klux Klan.
