THE CIRCUS.
Coles great circus performed here
last Wednesday to large crowd OF
people. Perhaps 1000 were in at
tendance in the afternoon. People
came in from miles around. Every
body seemed pleased with the per-
Torrance, the display of animals also
giving good satisfaction.
During show day the light-finEered
gentry piled their vocation to perfec-
ton, succeeding in fleeing some OF
our moneyed men out of sums rang
ing from 500 to 500. The mode of
procedure was similar to that prac-
ticed upon the unsophisticated at
Butte. Quite furore was picked up
over the business, but only one ar
rest was made. The scoundrel was
tried yesterday and bound over in
the sum of 81 900 to await the action
of the grand jury. He pines in Jail
and there is low whisper going
around that he is liable to pine on a
pine limb, but let US hope the law
will be permitted to take its course.

detective was busy all day yesterday
seeking the release of his zfNicuho,

The next day an inquest was held
revealing the fact that he came to hi
death by a gun shot wound, the bal

STRANGLED, RIDDLED WITH SHOT, AND
TORN LIMB FROM LIMB. Helena, Ark,
April 25.-Yesterday morning Miss Ida
Davis, a young lady Of high social stand
ing, and belonging to one of the best
families left her home in Bolivar county,
Mississippi, on horseback to visit a neigh
Dor. Her road lay through a lonely wood,
with a dense jungle on one side, and a
canebrake on the other. John Hender-
son, a burly negro, took notice of her de.
parture and the direction In which she
had gone, and stationed himself in the
woods to await her return. AS Miss
Davis was Fastening home Henderson
sprang from his lair, seized the bride.
and, dragging Miss Davis from her sad
die, carried her to a secluded spot, and
assaulted her.
Mr.. Davis, becoming alarmed at his
daughters absence, rode over to the
neighbours plantation, and there ascer-
tanned that she had started for home an
hour before. Returning quickly along
the road his daughter had taken, he came
upon her horse, but could discover no
traces of its rider. His worse apprehen.
sions were aroused, and he FASTENED to
procure assistance. Returning to the
woods with a dozen or so friends, the
dogs were put on the trail and the party
soon came Upon the negro and his victim.
Henderson made a rush for the canebreak
but was SO closely pursued by the dogs
that he was forced to take to a tree. AT
ter caring for Miss Davis and reviving
her as far as possible. the father carried
her in his arms to his home.
The remainder of the party forced the
negro to descend IRON the tree bound
him hand and foot, placed a rope about
his neck, and her the process of slow
s~traugulation was begun. Drawing him
up and allowing him to hang until life
was half extinct, they would then lower
and revive him and draw him up again.
This operation was repeated until death
was nearly accomplished, and then the
party riddled his body with buckshot,
stamped his features into a jelly, and
rended him limb from limb. The dis
membered body was strewn over the
woods and left to the vultures and crows.
Miss Davis, it is feared, will die of her
injuries. This is the second case of its
kind in Mississippi within the last twelve
months, swift retribution following in
each case.
