LYNCHED AND HIS BODY BURNED.
ST. LOUIS, March 26.-A Fort Scott, Kan, dis
patch Says Yesterday Bill Howard, the negro
who cruelty and diabolically raped Clara Pind,
12-year- old daughter of George Pind was dis
covered in an old mine half mile distant from
the residence of Pind, and about six miles
from this city. After some little parley, How
ard came forth and delivered himself
o p nttsf tina. being ss .Pea BY his
bodily harm from them. About 2 o'clock the
cortege arrived in town and the prisoner was
promptly lodged in Jail. The excitement rose
to fever heat and threats of lynching were an
nounced with emphasis, the facts in the case
being SO horrible as to be without parallel in
the history Of crime. About o'clock this
1000, accompanied by thirty masked men,
in solid line, with drawn revolvers in their
hands, marched to the Jail, overpowering all
resistance, tore the iron grating from the WIN
dow of Heward's cell, and forcibly took him
out. A rope was tied around his neck, and
by a hundred hands distance of five blocks
and hung to lamp-post on the corner
of the public square. The Infatuated mob,
whose anger and excitement had passed all
bounds, after the body had hung there some
fifteen minutes, on a shout of Burn him!
burn him" being started. took it down and
dragged it to the square. in spite of the
resistance and objections of the
more calm and peacable portion of
the crowd, and literally roasted and
burned the remains in fire of dry goods boxes
and coal oil, amid demonstrations that rivalled
pandemOnlum. Good citizens regret that the
excitement of the people, bent on revenge,
should have led them into such barbarous
act, but it is only Just to the citizens of Fort
Scott to say that most of the active partici-
pants are residents of the country and resi-
dents of the coal banks in this vicinity.
