FIRE, NOES, &C.-I'he town OF Salisbury,
Chanton county, Missouri, has been the
scene Of much excitement and disorder
during the past week. On Tuesday night
the store OF II. c. Gaines was fired ana six
other buildings destroyed. 1t was subse-
quently discovered that the store had first
been robbed by gang OF negroes, and two
men and two women were arrested and
some OF the stolen goods recovered. Sew
eral attempts were made to lynch the
prisoners, which were foied by tue sheriff.
Other arrests were made, including Lige
Dougherty, who, after being badly choked,
confessed that he was leader Of The gang.
He was placed in the second story OF a
building under strong guard. A mob
assembled and broke through the guard, but
when about to seize Lige he leaped from
the window and escaped. The crowd fol-
lowed him. and were fred on by his wife as
they passed her cabin. An attempt was
made to seize her, but she continued firing,
and several of the mob were wounded.
Finally the cabin was fired, and the woman
and four children were dragged out with dill
ticuity. Dougberty was not arrested, and
there is great excitement, which may proba-
bly, lead TO further difficulties.
