Mob Law In Utah.
OGDEN, August 27.-Speciais from Salt
Lake tonight state that the excitement
over the lynching of Marshal Murphy
at Park City ia but little abated. The
advocates of lynch law are holding the
fort, with the probability of growing
feeling tomorrow, when the funeral of
the deceased Marshal will take place
with official donors in the great Mormon
Tabernacle. About l O'Clock Sunday
a colored desperate ma ned Harvey
shot City Marshal Burt, who was at
to arrest him, with fatal ef-
feet, and fired at others before he was
overpowered, and taken to the City Hall.
Burt expired in drug store near by,
while his murderer was being arrested.
Various witnesses assert that after the
prisoner was searched in the Marshars
office, with closed doors, he was knocked
down by the officers in charge, beaten
with billies and brass knuckles, and
kaercilessly kicked while down. He
WAN tuou bdAcn cut tud tuNoWA tuto a
cell, when, word being given that Mar
shall Burt was dead, the officers gave up
their victim to the crowd, which pro-
ceeded TO hang him. In half an hour
after the Marshal was shot, his muir
derer was hanging dead, partly from
beating by the CITY officers, partly from
strangulation. Three policemen could
have held the mob at bay, but no one
desired TO. After the negro was dead
his body was lowered, and being fast
ened to long rope, was dragged
through the streets, the mob yelling like
bloodhounds. Some U. s. marshals
vainly attempted to quiet the lynchers,
and il was not until Mayor Jennings,
a most respected member of the Nor
mon church, appeared and made
them desist. Quiet was restored,
but another attempt was made to drag
the corpse through the streets and was
only prevented by the elderly mayor
clubbing the lynchers with his cane.
Never has such intense excitement aud
mob law reigned here. Various citi
zeus who condemned the proceedings
we're attacked along the streets and had
10 he cuArded in the Jail.
