Saturday night mob of 40 men visited /
the Franklin County Jail, overpowered |
the Jallor, took out four negro prison |
ers and lynched them 60 tree IN the |
Court House yard. One was charged |
with attempted rape on a white girl, |
two with the murder of other negroes, |
and the other with arson and robbery. |
-Four other prisoners we're in the Jail at |
tue time, one charged with rape and |
the others with arson, but they were |
unmnlested. The mob left word with /
the jailor that if the Circuit judge did |
not clean out the Jail at the present |
term they would return and make q |
clean sweep. Ths affair is greatly dep |
recated by large majority of the citi- |

six men who have fallen victims to |

stage Robbery.
| SAN LuIs OBrspo. Sept. "a. The stage |
running between Santa Maria and |
Guadalupe was stopped by two men |
night before last and the box of Wells, |
| Fargo 4 CO., containing $500. was |
taken. The robbers took the box away |
for eoncealment. Meantime the pas |
sengers on the stage returned to Santa |
Maria and gave the alarm. 1t appears |
that the robbers stole two horses for |
the purpose, and after concealing the |
box returned to Santa Maria and left |
the horses out of town. Two men who |
had been missed for a time and on
whom suspicion rested, arrived at their
old haunt and we're arrested. Their |
names are Rutherford and Thompson.
A search was made all day yesterday
| for the box, and it was found last even
ing in hsystack. The evidence to
convict the arrested parties is said to be
sufficient. The treasure box was found
uninjured.
