Frank and John Mcdonald, two ex-convicts
who have just completed an eighteen-months'
term in the State prison, aud have been ont
only two weeks, while at dsreputable house
in the outskirts of this village, day before yes
terday, got into row with Willie Kittson, a
half-breed, about % years old. Norman Kilt
son and one Tommy Dunn went to
the relief of Willie, and took him from
the house and started for home. The
AIcDonalds followed them and attacked them
again on the street. Willie was knocked down
and then stabbed several times. Norman re-
ctived several severe knife wounds in the face
and side. Willie died within few moments
after receiving his wounds, and Norman can
not live. The McDonalds were promptly ar
rested by Sheriff Barclay and lodged in the
county Jail, where they remained until last
evening. Great excitement prevailed from the
time of the murder, and extra guards were
placed over the jail. About 10 O'clock
last night mob of over 300 people, scomposed
mostly of Frenchmen, Indians and half-breeds,
approached the jail, overpowered the Sheriff
and guard, and with heavy timbers sledge-
hammers and axes broke open the door of the
jlil aad of the cell where the McDOnalds were
lodged The prisoners were pulled out Of the
cell and long ropes fastened about
their necks, and they were then dragged
by the mob mercilessly through the street for
three-quarters of a mile to the house where the
row originated, where their bodies were sus-
pended to tree. The victims were dead
however, long before their bodies were hung
up. The house above mentioned was then set
on fire and burned to theground. The two bod
les we're left suspended to the tree until this
morning, when they we're taken down by the
authorities. When. the Jail was attacked, a
large number of citizens responded promptly
TO the call of the Sheriff for help, but the mob
had obtained entrance to the jail, and resist
ance was then impossible.

DR.. Sexton, a leading biologist of New
York, thinks he has discovered a connec-
ton between near-sightedness, impaired
hearing and defective teeth the teeth
furnish the starting point for the dis
order affecting the other two organs.
The fifth pair " of nerves supplies at
once the teeth, the tissues of the nose,
those of the eye and ear, the integu-
ments of the frontal and temporal re-
gion, etc. A defective tooth produces
irritation of the whole region thus sup
piled, and In fact often occasions severe
cases of neuralgia Even when there is
no pain felt in tooth it may yet be the
cause of grave disorder in the eve. ear
or temple. Dementia, it is claimed. is
sometimes due to tooth having all the
appearance Of soundness to the unpro-
fessional eye.-BaLtin1ore Sun.

Walked by bride, smiles and approves the cause"
