ST. Paul MINI, July 26.
Mil IS City special says that party OF
masked men proceeded to the County Jail
yesterday, overpowered the Jailer, and
seized a man named Rigney whom they
took about mile out of town and hanged
to the projecting end Of railroad tie over
culvert. Rigney had been jailed the day
before for orCesly conduct, and bore a
reputation as a hard citizen, having been
accused o robbery and other crimes. He
was a ! tender in the saloon of the
Cosmopol TIM Tleater. Two hours
after he was hung the t ea+er
burst into flames, and was COM
pletely destroyed, with six other build
ings, among " hi h was large dcug store.
The progress of the fire was arr, sted by
the brick building Of the First National
Bank, otherwise the entire block would have
been destroyed. The total loss is estimated
at $4,000. 1t is generally thought that the
fire was the work of an incendiary, in re-
taliation for the hanging of Rigney.
LATER DETAILS OF THE LYNcHINa.
Later advices from Miles City show that
the fire occurred first and the lynching af-
terward. The fire broke out in the Cosmo-
poiltan Theater, which was in mass Of
flames nearly as soon as discovered. Next
the flames fell upon a row of three email
buildings, occupied by Marrill as a lunch
counter, Browns tobacco store and Bish-
ops Side-board saloon. These were totally
consumed. The fire quickly spread to the
next building, which was known as Flick's
Hall, owned by Charles Bishop. This
building, being of pine logs, gave out
great heat, and the fire here gained so much
strength that the block at one time was given
up for gone. From this building it spread
to the large and handsome store of Bisenick
q Bros, stationery and general dealers,
and in few moments what was a magnif-
lcent structure was a total wreck. The
next bull ding to succumb to the flames was
the drug store of w. E. Savage q Co,
large two-story frame building adjoining
the First National Bank. 1t was also
quickly destroyed, and by the frantic ef-
forts of the citizens the fire was here
stopped. The bank building, being of brick,
interposed as a barrier to the further adj
vancement of the fire. The loss is estimated
at various figures, by some as high as
100000.
After the excitement of the fire was over
a party OF masked and determined men
proceeded tn tho jail end took tharofinrn
Bill Rigney, who had been incarcerated a
few days before for threatening to assault
the daughters of a worthy family named
Brown. He was found in the cell, and af-
ter some trouble was taken out, a rope put
around his neck and he was taken to the
railroad bridge over the Tongue River, dis
tant about a half mile, and hanged.

Steamboat Mate Brutally Beaten.

CAIRO ILL, July %.
William McCarty, mate Of the City Of
Vicksburg, was placed in the hospital here
last night, suffering from the effects of a
severe beating administered by parties at
Darnell's Landing yesterday. 1t appears
that on the down trip of the boat the mate
became involved in some slight dispute
with parties at the landing, but supposadit
was all settled. On landing there last night
the mate was induced to 60 ashore upon
some pretext, and was Immediately set
upon by three men, by whom he was dis
armed and beaten numerically with a club,
breaking his nose and several ribs and
bruising his back and entire body fright,
