render, but fired at the pursuers. Finally q shot took effect in one of Rice's legs ard another in his arm, whereupon they sur rendered and were brought back to town. By this time some 15 men had gathered. The two men were taken to the blacksmith shop where McNeal had been murdered White says "Charlic, guess we are gOne," and in moment more White made spring if om the crowd, saying: Pm long winded you sons of bitches" and shot off like deer. But he had not fairly got clear of the crowd before about fifteen Henry rifles rang out his doom, and he fell without q word Rice was then strung up without any more ado, and hung by the neck till next morning-a ghastly warning to des- peiadoes and evil docrs.
 McNeal had but lately arrived in the county, and appeared to be straight for ward and we'll disposed citizen. White and Rice have both been in the county for some time, and aside from the fact that Rice came here in bad company nothing could, or ever has so far as we can learn, be said against either of them. What their career has been elsewhere we know not, but it is certain that both Of them were full of bad ness a::d deserved their fate.
 Of course, we can but deprecatc the deal ing out of summary justice; yet, when we consider all the circumstances that sur round us, in what other way can murder and rapine be checked? Roughs must be taught that they cannot shoot men down and eyade the punishment they deserve. Here, where we only get Icrm of court twice year, and sometimes, as in the past year, but once, with no jail to lodge priSo- ners in, with the many apparent chances | for the escape, or at any rate tardy pun 1 ishment, of criminals, it cannot be won ,-!ered that OFT citizens have concluded that |
 will take no chances on insecure lock ups, or in waiting for tue slow movements of the wheels of justice. Upon the whole justice has been meted out quick and sure and, considering everything. we are con- strained to say Well done:" White and Rice were both loud in their threats that they would kill the men who captured them if they ever got chance, and White swore he would burn the town. This was before he thought that his neck was in danger.
 Under the new contractor, A. Randall, our court house and jail are fast approach ing completion.
 Mineral Park mill is waiting now for castings, that only for lack of spirit to accommodate and help new country along, should have been Landed at Hardy vile long ago..
