LaMlesaneaa i'm iberia.

The Iberia Progress mentions that two
colored men, named Sam johnson and Jim
Boyd, were arrested in the lower part of
the parish upon the charge OF horse steal
ing. and without any warrant, without any
preliminary examination or trial of any
kind, we're hung by ''the people, There is
no denying the bad character of the men;
but there is possibility they may have
been innocent Of the crime for which they
we're hung, and there are those who think
a man has right to trial by jury before
being hung, even if the trial ia not an i'm
partial one. Iberia gentlemen evidently
think otherwise. and have progressed no
further than the lynch law of Texas.
