TERRIBLE DEATH OF A NEGRO FlIEND.
ST. LOUIS July 2.-Another lynching
occurred in Missouri yesterday. Bill
Mcdowell, negro. assaulted Miss Kate
Murray, in Louisiana, this county, on
Monday last, and was locked up in the
jail at Bowling Green. At O'Clock p.
m. about four hundred men went from
Louisiana to Bowling Green and sur
rounded the Jail. Six men in masks de-
manded the keys, and. by presenting
six revolvers, persuaded the jailer to
give them up. The negro was then
taken out and a number Of rope halters
were knotted together and the moose
placed over his head. The mob then
started with their victim toward the
public square. but changed their minds,
and took the negro about mile ont of
the town and hanged him. The body
was left hanging until about ~ o'clock
when IL was cut down and taken TO
Louisiana. There the people behaved
like fieads. for they a-!ain hung up the
corpse. had it photographed, and then
cut OFF the head.
The negro's victim, Miss Kate Muir
ray. is the adopted daughter OF Charles
Murray, deceased. She is twenty years
old. and is we'll known in this city. She

MIXED the COWS and drove them 70 the
pasture juse beyond the western city
limits. AS she opened the pasture gate
a burly negro sprang from behind and
knocked her senseless with rock.
Then. tying her hands with her bonnet
strings, and placing as G.; across her
throat, the fiend accomplished the pur-
pose of his assault. After recovering
consciousness the girl crawed 10 the
nearest house, that of Captain George
Barnard. and related the particulars Of
the assault. She was taken TO her home
and physicians summoned.
The news spread and in a very short
time Sheriff w. ii. Gienner and Colonel
Stables w. Templeton started on the
Louisiana and Bowling Green turnpike
in search of a negro who had been seen
going out on that road at an early hour.
and who answered to the description
given by the girl. They soon found a
negro blowing in field, and arrested
him. He proved to be Joe Brown. lie
was taken into the presence of the girl,
who failed to clearly identify him. 1t
was expected that Brown would be
lynched, but the sheriff got him out of
the town and hurried him off TO Bow
ling Green, where he was placed in Jail.
During the week several circum-
stances c;sme to light that led to the be-
lief that Brown was innocent, and that
Bill Mcdowell. Il very bad negro, had
committed the crime. a reward was
offered for his arrest, and he was found
on the farm of n. b. Llewellyn. He
was taken to, the Bowling Green Jail,
and Brown was released.
