DAN BECKETT.
A scoundreI In Jeopardy OF his Life

Aberdeen Miss Examiner
On Wednesday afternoon there was
considerable excitement on the streets
In consequence of the well-f0unded ru-
NOR that the notorious negro outlaw,
Dan Beckett, had returned TO the city,
aud party Of citizens were searching
for him with view OF hanging him.
Fortunately for him, the officers were
on his trsck and succeeded in capturing
and jailing him before the other party
referred to had traced him to his hiding
place. Now we donOt favor lynch-law
under ordirary circumstances, but we
claim that it is absolutely necessary
that all such nuissnces as Dan Beckett
shall be Rbsted, and warn the authOri-
ties not to release him within the bounds
of the county, unless they desire to see
him hung by those who, in executing
punishment upon public en-
emy, will win the approval OF every
friend to peace and orders
