NEGRO HUNG By MOB.
The theme Of conversation at present is
the lynching Of Dick Casey, notorious
negro desperate by the outraged citizens
of Breckenridge county, at Hardinsburg
on Thursday night last 1t appears that
Casey duIing the absence or Mr.. Shad
Nichols who lives FIVE miles from Hard
insburG. attacked Mrs. Nichols, and
with horrible VIGILANCE outraged that
iadys person. After gratifying his
fiendish desire the monster made his
escape, but was finally captured and
lodged in Hardinsburg Jail, and from
there q justly indignant public forcibly
led him to a well merited doom. This /
believe is one case of mob law, that the
greatest law abiding citizen can not con-
denim. The details of the outrage are
too horrible to be read and the respecta-
bic standing of the lady, justified the act
in the eyes of the excited populace.
