A efnO Offence.

FULTON, Mo-, Oct. 14.-As a 10-ysar-old
girl named Bennett was walking with a
younger sister past a cornfield, near Guth-
rie, 10 miles east Of here, yesterday, at
noon, one Of three negroes working in the
field seized the child and ravished her.
Her little sister carried the alarm home,
and a posse OF citizens organized immedi-
ately. All the negroes were found in the
field armed with corn-knives and a gun.
They made q show Of resistance, but
finally surrendered and were taken to
Guthrie and put under guard. At 3
O'Clock this morning a party OF mounted
men rode to the house where the negroes
were confined and fired at them through
the windows. One of the negroes ran into
the street and was shot dead. The others
were again fred upon and the ravisher fell
down and was left for dead. The party
then rode off. An investigation showed
that the ravisher feigned death. The sur
vivors were taken to Jail to-day, but are
expected to be lynched tonight.
