LynchiEg at the Needles.

From Wm. Krider who came in last evening from Kingman we learn that there was hanging bee" at the Needles, just across the river, on Friday night. From what our in- formant could learn of the matter 1t appears that the victim was notified to leave the town within a certain time on pain of death. He refused to leave and when the time expired was immediately hung by the citiz
 ems. What his particular crime was, and the circumstances which led up to his being ordered to leave the town, we have been unable to learn, nor could we ascertain the name of the unfortunate who met with such a sudden and miserable end. It is to be hoped that fuller particulars will justify the course taken by the citizens of the Needles.
