A negro named Win.on Anderson,

girl in Montgomery county, was taken
from the Jail at GAINESVILLE several
nights since and summarily disposed

the jailer in bed, three of them pre-
scented pistols at his heal and demand
ed him to lie still, stating that if he
moved he would do so at his peril.
The jailcr took in the surroundings at
u glance and concluded that it would
be best to acqnicsce in their demands,
While the men kept watch over the
jailGr, the others obtained the keys,
and going to the cell where Anderson
was confined, took him out one mile
from town and swung him to n tree.
The negro was left hanging to the tree

Dat OF which were made the heavens

Until tempted by the Devil,
