| NR. SCOTT, ADVISED OF HIS VICTORY, DISCHARGES
| TRAINER N'CLELLAND.
| The dispute regarding race bets between Con-
gresham Scott and his trainer, Byron McClel-
land, has come to q termination and wednesday
morning McClelland left Erie Pa, for New York,
| having been discharged by Mr. Scott. An Erie
| telegram to the New York Herald December Sd,
| says: MI. McClelland told his full story to his
| friends as follows:
McCleiland attended meeting OF the committee
appointed by the Monmouth park association on
| the day before Thanksgiving. There were present
pesy ane o
| the fact that he bet for Mr. Scott, but aimed at
| convincing the committee that he acted honestly
and did not knowingly exceed his authority. His
books exhibited to the committee correspond ex-
actly with those Of Appleby and johnson, which
Congressman Scott then explained his position
He had been informed by friends In New York
that the bookmakers and his trainer were in colu-
combination. He questioned his trainer and the
Dookmakers closely as to their relations and the
matter was finally submitted to the committee.
McCleland returned to Erie feeling confident that
| the decision could not be against his honesty,
although he believed 1t would direct him to pay
the bets.
Late Thursday afternoon Congressman Scott re-
ce1ved advices that decision had been found in
his favor, and that McClelland had been holden
Tor the bets. He at once called McClelland, in
formed him OF the action and discharged him. This
action created intense excitement at the stables
and three of the best jockeys, one OF whom made
national reputation during last season, vowed
they would leave the stables and follow the
trainer. Accordingly when McCleand packed
his trunks this morning they were on hand, ac-
companied him to the depot, and all bought tickets
for New York.
1t is said that one OF the jockeys had been offered
lar e salary, by the Dryers next season; that
Mr.. Scott made him better OFFER and that Nc
Clelland will seek to obtain position for them by
reason OF having the Jockeys services at his dis
posal. McClelland strenuously denies that he was
In collision with Appeby & johnson. He states
that four men were betting for Scott, and he fur
nished them frequently with money. He says he
lost $18 900 of his own money and that he Is now
nearly broke. Such is his story.

A special dispatch from Arkansas City, Ark,

masked men surrounded the Jail at Monticello, the
county seat OF Drew county, and demanded the
surrender OF Buck Taylor, cOlored, who was
charged with assault with intent to kill two re-

SiStance would be worse than useless, the taller
surrendered the key to the cell in which the man
was confined and the mob seized Taylor. They
placed rope around his neck and led him out
Into the suburbs OF the town and strung him up
to the limb OF tree. They empt1ed their shot
guns into the body to make sure OF their work.
The lynching party dispersed SO quietly that very
few OF the citizens OF the town knew that the
lynching had been done until daylight, when Tay-
