The Shooting and Hanging Of Bill Young by

The Shooting and Hanging Of Bill Young by
Mob In Clark County, Mo.
A dispatch from Keokuk, Iowa, dated Oct
80, says: "Bill Young, who was tried at Caho-
ka, Mo-, for the murder of the Spencer family
was lynched at his home near Luray, Mo-. yes
terday. The raid was very systematically
planned and carried into execution with des-
perate determination. The mob, TO the num-
Der of 200 or more, met near Caho-
ka and arranged the details. On
Sunday, the day following his acquittal, Young
was married at Cahoka to Miss Bray, of Ohio,
who has been in this locality most of the time
since his arrest They came to Keokuk Mon
day, and remained here until this morning,
when they left for Young's home, near Luray
Young was warned along the line that mob
was assembling to hang him, but he refused TO
turn back. He said he had beat lem once, and
could do II again, and that he aid not propose
to run away or be frightened away.
The plan was to take Young from the train
at Cahoka, but owing to delay in telegram
the train got past that city before the mob as
sembled They hastily followed to Lpray,
however, surrounded Young's house, and de-
mands that all but Young leave the building.
j. g. Coffman of Toledo, Ohio, one of Young s
attorneys. and two ladies who were there came
out, but Young insisted that his wife and
children remain. Firing was then opened, but
1t is not known who fired the first shots. Young
would open the door, fire into the crowd, and
dodge back This was kept up until Young
had received four wounds-one in the wrist,
one in the lung, one in the scalp, and one in the
abdomen, which disabled HIM so that he
ceased firing. The mob then piled hay around
the house preparatory to burning it,
when Youngs children came running
out and said that their father was dead.
A number of men then entered the house,
brought Young out, placed him i'll wagon and
drove under an arched gateway They then
called upon him to make confession, but
he is said to have asserted his innocence to
the last They proposed to him that if he
would pay the costs of the prosecution, con-
TESS the murder and leave the country they
would not hang him. He offered to pay the
costs and leave, but refused TO confess. His
last words were that he was an innocent
man. They allowed him to make his
will, then drove the wagon out, and left him
banging until he was dead The mob Is vari-
ously estimated at from 200 to 800 men. They
wore no masks, and made no attempts to dis
guise themselves. Many of them are we'll
known citizens of Clark county. Others are
said TO have been from Illinois and Iowa. De-
tective Lane was in the mob, and took all active
part,

Oh come, my love. and seek win me
A realm by grosser eye unseen,
Where fairy forms will welcome thee.
And dainty creatures hail thee queen.
In silent pools the tube III ply.
Where green conferva-threads lie curled,
And proudly bring to thy bright eye
The trophies OF the protest world.
Well rouse the stentor from his lair,
And gaze into the cyclops' eye;
In chara and nitella hair
The protoplasmic stream descry,
Forever weaving 10 and fro
With faint molecular melody;
And curious rotifers I'll show,
And graceful vorticellidm.
Where melicerte ply their craft
Well watch the playful water-bear,
And no enyenomed hydra's shaft
Shall mar our peaceful pleasure there;
But while we whisper loves sweet tale
Well trace. with sympathetic art,
Within the embryonic snail
The growing rudimental heart.
Where rolls the volvox sphere of green.
And plastids move in Brownian dance
If, wandering mid that gentle scene,
Two fond am9b@ shall perchance
BE changed 10 one beneath our sight
BY process of biocrasis,
We'll recognize, with rare delight.
A type of our prospective bliss.
oh dearer thou by far TO me
In thy sweet maidenly estate
Than any seventy fifth could be,
OF aperture however great
Come. go with me- and we will stray
Through realm by grosser eye unseen,
Where protophytes shall homage pay,
And protozoa hail thee Queen.

A Murdered (iirl's Monument,

To-Day magnificent marble monu-
ment was unveiled here over the grave
of Miss Frances Woodward, girl of 20
years, who was murdered by John j.
Moore, in this county, on June 5, of the
present year. The crime was COM
mitted in dense forest, about
two miles from Moore's store.
Miss Woodward was u stranger
in the county, and stopped at Moore's
place to ask for directions. He followed
her into the woods and murdered
her. He was arrested next day and
lynched by crowd of about 100 OF his
neighbcrs, in the presence of his wife
and children. Soon after the perpetra-
ton of the crime a movement was
started among the ladies of the State to
raise fund to place a monument over
the remains of the poor girl whose life
was given up while defending her vir-
tue. A large sum was promptly col
lected, and magnificent shaft of Italian
marble was erected over her grave to-
day, in the presence of $4,000 or Is 900
persons. Rev. A. G. Durham delivered
the memorial address, and his touching
and pathetic illusions to the deceased
brought tears to the eyes of thousands
in the vast assemblage. After the cere-
monies of unwilling were concluded the
ladies present covered the monument
with rare flowers. The inscription on
the monument, cut on a raised shield
facing the east, is as follows:
Iu memory of Frances Woodward.
