MARsHALLrwoN, Iowa. June 5.-F'n ard
Mans Rainsbarger were taken from the Jail
at Eldora, Hardin county, at o'clock this
morning, by mob of seventy.fve masked
men and riddled with bullets, so as to be
unrecognizable. They are brothers Of Il 9
two Raipsbsrgers now in the Marshall coun-
ty Jail here for the murder of Euoch john
son, and were arrested yesterday for an
alleged attack on Doctor Underwood, who
is prominent in the Rainsbsrger prosecl l.
ton.
Results of Feud
The lynching of Rainsbargsr a. Eldora,
last night, is the result OF an old feud that
has been brewing IN Harden county for
many years. 1t originated in family quar-
rel great many years ago and eliminated
last year in the murder of johnson. For
this crime the two Rainsbargers, Nathaniel
and Frank, are now in Jail at MarshalltoSn
charged with murder. Accusation was
made by the wife of Nsthsntial, who is
daughter Of johnson. Among the most
prominent men in the county, who
testified at the preliminary examination was
DR.. Underwood, Of Edora His life was
threatened by the gang few days ago
Suspicious movements were discovered by
party upon whom watch was set 1t
was discovered in secret communication
with the Rainesbargers. 1t was finally
found that plot was being concocted
To Murder n Number of Leading Citizens
of the county. These facts developed only
a day or two ago. Night before last Dr.
Underwood and DR.. Riedenour, dentist
were shot as they we're driving along in the
country. The former was wounded and hit
once. Only though number Of shots were
fred, this attempt drove the citizens to des.
peration, and Rainsbsrgers having been
arrested last evening, were, during
the night, taken out and lynched as
stated The brothers lnched were known
as Fin and Mans. Fin was pardoned
convict charged with murder. The family
and their followers are hard characters and
have given pesceable great deal of trou'
Bile. Great excitement prevails. Public
sentiment, however, generally approves OF
the lynching. 1t is doubtful is any prose
cutions are made.

BIZ al who knew him or the facts in the
case. His name became q by-word in the
mountains Of Tennessee, aud he was shun-
ned by all men of respectsbility. Capt

hesilated to violate the law by avenging
this double crime against his wife and
against himself He returned broken
hearted to the scene of his wife's fall, to fin
ish the official duties in which he had been
engaged. Meantime the prosecutions OF his
enemies continued, and by these persecu-
tons the elimination came in the announce
ment that Henry had not only boasted of
his crime, but attacked the reputation Of
the dead woman by asserting that she had
been frequently unfsithful to her husband
before coming to Tennesse, and that it was
through her wiles and persusSions that he,
Henry, had been led to assume the relations
with her which he had. This was more
than Johnson could endure, and, seizing
his shotgun, he drove to the country store
where Henry spent most of his time, and
entering it, emptied both barrels Of the gun
into his body, one charge entering his side
and the the other tearing his head in pieces.
He then returned TO Greenville, where he

by the people, who had already heard Of his
act. They took him from the wagon, placed
him on their shoulders, carried him to the

A Misapprehension.

Sidney L. Wilson, pension agent for Dis
trict of Columbia, says that the statements
that the names of 200 pensioners Of the
District had been dropped from the rolls be,
cause they were not legally entitled to a pen
sion, is an entire misapprehension OF the
facts. Of the 200 above mentioned, Isl
were pensioners who died since 1882, and
whose names had been taken from the rolls.
In the official report, he says, it is plainly
stated when death occurred in each csse
and when last payment was made, in many
instances the Government owes the estates
OF the pensioners.
