Utah & Northern Railway Company is enti-
tied 10 payment from the United States for its

Murder.
ST. LOUIS, Tune 5.-A special from Her
mann, Mo-, says; "nlis city was thrown into
a state of intense excitement soon after mid
night, this morning, by the lynching of
Whitney, the murderer of young Burchard.
The mob numbered about 200. They sur
rounded the jail, guards being stationed with
drawn revolvers to keep back the curious
crowd which was attracted by the noise made
in beating in the Jail doors. The j~ailer refused
to surrender the keys, when axes were
brought. Whitney suspected the purpose of
the assault, and, crouched upon his
cell floor, prayed f~ervently, His voice
could be heard outside. The jailer
was forced to lead the way to
Whitney's cell, which was then forced open.
A long rope which the mob had brought
with them was put around his waist. Half
f%ainting, the doomed man fell on his knees
when once in the open air, and asked leave
to pray again. This was granted, but as he
continued his appeals to heaven too long, be
was jerked to his feet and dragged through
the town into the dense woods that cover the
bluff a dozen of the lvnching party warning

session to try the accused, but when it was
announced yesterday that the trial would go

h nab was quite orderly in its behavior.
Thee vas an absence of conventional
MASKS, aid many of the lynchers were rec

A special Q the Post-Dispatch, from Her
mann, says: 1.-THE woods were reached, and
the prisoner vas handed over to a dozen
masked men. Tie said his real name was
Fisher, and not Whitney, that his parents
lived in Virginia. He nd not know whether
he killed Burchard o, not, as he and his
partner, whose name wa Collier. fired five
Shots each. He then shok hands with mart
of the mob, bidding thes goodbye, after
which he was strutg up toa tree, The mob
then dispersed. The sherif took CHARGE of
the body this morning. Whitney was a des-
