1t is supposed that the lynching was
done by three anti-horse- thief societies
in this county, aided by unknown parties
In this city, but nothing definite has been
decided yet.
The excitement which has led to this
foul result has been growing for some
time, several mysterious murders
having been committed here recent
ly-seven in the space of four years.
The trial of Howard was protracted
and exciting, and the jury, being out for
nearly four days, finally compromised on
a verdict of murder in the second degree.
1t was feared Howard would be lynched
last Friday night, the jury not then hav-
ing agreed and it being generally thought
they would agree to disagree. But pre-
cautions were taken to prevent it then and
on Saturday morning the verdict was
returned. On Monday afternoon he was
sentenced, and Judge Maxwell imposed
upon him the extreme rigor of the law
imprisonment for life. Everybody here
in the city seemed satisfied, and the
lynching fell upon the city to its
surprise and horror. But Towards
behavior during the reading of the
sentence, laughing in the face of
the Judge and receiving his doom with
firmncss, and his attempt to smuggle a
revolver into the courtroom for the pur-
pose, avowed afterward, of shooting the
Judge as he was delivering the SEN
tencc; his boast that he would cs-
cape from the Penitentiary before six
months and return here to kill all
who had appeared against him in the
trial, and the appeal of his case to the
Supreme Court, reached the ears of the
Vigilantes last night and the result was
as stated above.
The whole proceeding is most bitterly
felt by the citizens here, and the perpe-
traitors are denounced in most un-
measured terms. A large meeting of
citizens passed resolution to this effect
this afternoon.

New Way to Cure the NOse.Bleed.

Many and various are the methods
now in use for curing the nose bleed,
but the following is the most original
mode that has ever come to our notice
An elderly gentleman stopped at Noycs

others were in the dining.room at the time
No sooner had he seated himself and Civ
en- his order than his nose began to bleed.
lie took things very quietly, pulled out
his handkerchief and proceeded to
staunch the blood. Now Moves has
fine-looking, handsome German girl who
waits on the table. She has got IA heart
as big as an OK and she could not refrain
from rendering some assistance to the
suffering gentleman; so she rushed back
INTO the kitchen and, procuring a large
glass ofice-cold water, returned to where
the man was sitting. She approached
him from the rear and when she got
within reaching distance leaned over
and let him have the ice water full on
the back of the neck, at the same time
making the remark: "Dere, now, take
dat, dat does you goot" The elderly
gentleman did not wait to see what effect
it would have, but, letting yell out of
him, fell backward, upsctting the table
in such manner as to throw the caster
dishes, meats, coffee ard everything else
full on top of himself. Noyes rushed tc
his assistance, and the poor girl fled the
house and was not seen for twcnty-four
hours afterward. When the old man
rose to his feet he looked as though he
had been in the swill business all his life
He was covered from head to foot with
his intended dinner. AS soon as he re-
gained sufficient presence of mind to re-
member what had happened lie said he

day he first saw light, and if he was ever

would be certain that no German girls
were around him to tender their assist
