nlng, IS very intense. Inc SbreebS are
crowded with highly incensed people ano
the indications are that when Smith Is
brought from the Jail for a preliminary
examination, he will be summary dealt
with. The sheriff is censured for resist
ing the mob, although he did only mis- duty
Smith is worthless rascal and has been
involved in a few similar cases. He served
term in the penitentiary for one crime
and his death will be regarded as a good
thing for the community. The child is in
very critical condition and may die, but
should she recover her limbs will, in all
probability, have to be amputated.
PAoLA, KS, Feb. 9.-The expected result
of the horrible outrage perpetrated by the
negro Smith on the person of the little
Bennings girl, on Wednesday night, &C.
Cured this afternoon and the city is more
quiet again. About 1 o'clock great
crowd of whites and blacks collect
ed in front of the jail and waited in
patiently for the city marshal to appear
with Smith, who, it was reported, would be
taken before justice for examination, bat
| at the last moment the deputy sheriff de-
clined to move the prisoner, owing to the
| threats Of the mob. The crowd, led by a
! city, then made an assault on the jail
doors, drove the sheriff Long back into
! the interior OF the building but could not
get the keys. They then applied sledge
hammers, croW-bars and other tools
and after more than an hours hard work
battered their way into Smiths cell, only,
however, to find him stretched dead on the
floor, he having committed suicide by cut
ting his throat with a pocket knife. This
was great disappointment to the mob,
but it did not stop their work, for they i'm
mediately put a rope around the neck of
the corpse and dragged it
like log to tree in
the park and strung it up to the gaze of
the multitude. After the body had hung
an hour, Coroner Potter held an inquest,
the jury finding that Smith committed
suicide during the progress of the riot.
Judge Wagstaff made an earnest appeal
to the crowd to desist their bloody work and
warned them to dispense, but they answered
with jeers and laughter. The outraged
child is still alive, but expected to die.
Sheriff Long acted very courageously, but
could not resist the mob, who were de-
term1ned to wreak their vengeance on
Smith. The result of Smiths act is one
little girl terribly outraged and likely to
die, two negroes dead, one white man, and
one negro seriously wounded.
