As will be seen by THE News dis
patches to-day the condition OF things
In jackson, West Virginia, are
most Encouraging, and the threatened
failure Of crops this year in the same
locality has awakened the fears OF the
wealthiest and most influential families.
The local papers contain articles Of ap-
peal for help. If the status OF affairs
In that county are as represented In
the dispatches, II should certainly re-
ceive the attention Of the government Of
West Virginia. II that state is not able
the National government is. We have
millions for external defenesss If nee
essary and when starvation threatens
any locality from within iI should be
met with the same promptness with
which any other enemy IL met.

BoNHAM, Texas, June "a Iynehipe
occurred here about O'Clock yesterday
morning at the hour named. The taller
was awakened by some one rappine gen.
~ at the front door, and hearing ne IN.
usual commotlon outside, he opened the
door and was surprised to ind over 100
meR standing before him. AS the
door opened the leader of the
mob grabbed him and thus
gained the entrance. Once inside
the Jail the mob had the Tailor at their
mercy and under the influence Of a cou-
pie OF ak shooters the jailoE gave up the
keys. Then proceeding to the cells oc-
cupied by Sam Dyer and his brother, e.
ID. Whitman, murderers of Sheriff Rags
dale and Deputy Sheriff Buchanan,
they entered the cells and identi
ned the men and stuffed their mouths
with pocket handkerchfefs. After this
they tied their hands and hurried them
outside where the main body of the mob
stood with the jailer. Scarcely a word
was spoken during this proceeding.
With the prisoners at the head of the col.
umn, they marched to q spot only 800
yards from the Jail. The leader gave the
order to halt, and there under the bouRhs
OF an oak tree dangied two ropes. The
handkerchiefs were withdrawn and the
leader asked the doomed men if they
wanted TO pray or had anything to say.
Sam begged for his life and SAID he had
been bad man, but that Eli had killed
both Ragsdale and Buchanan. Eli
maintained bold front aud would say
nothing, neither would he pray. This
being over, two large men came
forward. Each raised one of the muir
derers from the ground while q moose
was being adjusted. Then they stimuli.
taneously let 60, and the desperadoes
were kicking and struggling in the air.
They died from strangulation. When
the bodies were found to-day they almost
touched the ground. The mob quietly
dispersed. The coroner took possession
81 the bodies and laid them out in the
court house where perhaps 2.000 people
viewed them to-day. The verdict of the
coroner's jury was death by stranEula-
ton at the hands of parties unknown.
The crime for which they were lynched
was committed May 10 last For two
years Eli Dyer had been the head of a
gang of about twenty cattle thieves.
Sheriff RAgsdale, with Deputy Sheriff
Buchanan. at the head of
the posse learning that q portion of the
gang were some nine miles south of
town in small house went after them.
Arriving at the spot, Ragsdale and
Buchanan approached the house leaving
the posse kehInd. AS they reached the
door the gang discovered them and Eli
raised his rife and killed Ragsdale at
the first shot. Buchanan was MORALLY |
wounded and died the next day. Eli
was also wounded by shot from Buch-
anan's pistol. Sam Dyer escaped at the
time and fully 500 men were hunting
him for several days. He was finally |
Iound hiding under Q corn crib.
