THE EVENING NEWS.


TIE Jusr LAw.-Some few days since
it will be remembered that negro shot
white man, at Wild Cat Ranch, on the
Reese River road, inhicting wounds from
which the man died. Last Sunday morn
ing. eight men with masked faces took the
negro and conveyed him to butcher-yard
near by, took the tackle blocks which are
used to string up cattle for dressing, made
the rope fast to the murderers neck ana
at a given signal ran him into the ar
where they held him suspended, until
stransulation caused death. which ensued
after horrible contortions in short time.
BEFORE they hung him he was asked If he
had ANYTHING 10 say in his defense, and
he declared that he was instigated to the
murder By two white men by the nal4e
of Lantern, who have been Mormons for
long time. No one knows the men who
thus took Justice into their own hands,
but the act seems 10 be generally counte-
nsnced by parties in the vicinity. Mr..
Giou of the Fast Freight Express, be-
tween this city and Austin, furnishes US
with the above particulars, he having just
arrived from that section.

guire's Opera House the place. and on
that evening we expect to see more real
unadulterated fun than has ever been
laughed at in the country. Tuers will
perform the grand Zampellerastrateon act
that the Hanlon brothers alone have ac-
complished, making a flying jump from
dress circle to stage. He will. with six
shooter loaded with powder and ball,
pierce an apple on the head Of man
across the stage, being said to be the best
shot in the country, and will present other
attractions too numerous to mention.
THAr's WHAT THE NATTER Who

athrnatively.
