A FIENDISH ACT.
A Mob Gains Entrance to a Jail and Lii.
erahy Roasts Alive Two Murderers.
Who Were Lodged There.
WASHINGTON. Ark, Sept.

WASHINGTON, Ark, Sept. 9.
Great excitement prevails at Murfreesboro
over the burning of the Polk boys by mob
in the Pike county Jail at the latter place,
Sunday evening. The mob, consisting of
about 75 men, broke into the Jail, and as on
previous occasions, tried to shoot the Polk
brothers to death.
Finding that the location of the cells was
such that the two prisoners could keep out
of the range of the bullets, the mob hauled a
load of wood to the Jail, piled it around the
iron cell, saturated the wood with coal oil
and literally roasted both prisoners alive.
The Polk brothers, Sylvester and Henry,
were in the Jail for killing a pedler named
Williams. and three previous attempts have
been made to lynch them, the most notable
of which was on Wednesday, August the 10th,
when a mob from the surrounding country
visited Murfreesbore. They first fired a few
shots into the cell occupied by the brothers.
They then broke two holes through the wall,
one on the west and the other on the south
side, through which six men were seen to en-
ter. These men got on the top of the cells
and poured coal oil down into them and set
fire to it. but they only succeeded in masking
it burn in one cell. all the bedding, clothing,
etc, being consumed. They then began to
use dynamite and there were three or four
terrible explosions inside of the Jail. So Sc
we're were the shocks that it caused the ceiling
of the Jail to fall with a great crash. After
gaining entrance to the cell in which the
prisoners were confined, the mob was held at
bay and finally driven from the Jail by the
younger Polk who had been provided with a
pistol by the Jailer
A committee with shot guns was appointed
TO visit Sheriff Fsgop and demand the ne
groes. They did so with guns presented.
After calling Pagan out, and after q little
parleying they concluded to do without the
KEYS and took their leave. This failure seems
TO have exasperated the mob, and after warn
ing had been sent to officers that another at
tempt would be made, the gang made their
appearance again on Sunday night, resulting
as above stated.
