LOCAL MOB LAW.
Two Negroes taken to the Outskirts
of Town, and Flogged by Their
Own Race.

There's going to be lynching, they
have taken two niggers out to hang 'em
in the woods" said the spokesman of a
gang of urchins, who rushed breathless
into the police station at . O'Clock last
evening. Mayor Murdoch was
there and asked, - being in
clined to believe from the
condition of the boy, that there was some
truth in the statement, where the
lynching was to take place.
"Out towards Davenport's pasture, is
where they have gone, they went out
Twelfth street," was the reply The
mayor directed the movements of the po-
lice sending deputy marshal Hull and an
officer in the direction indicated by
the boys, and telephoped up town
for officer Bresnahsn, who, with officers
Grogan and Seigartner were sent to rein :
force the other officers as quickly as pos
sible. The police proceeded in the direc
ton of school building No. Q, but as they
passed on beyond they could hear terri,
Bile beating of somebody's bare limbs, and
a piteous begging for mercy. fastening
their speed they reached the scene
in time TO be discovered
by the mob soon enough to disperse. The
police fired, but every member of the
mob escaped. Investigation revealed two
negroes-one who goes by the name OF
Ham, and is not known by any other
title, and Jesse Brown, tied to trees, their
arms wrapped around the trees. their
eyes blindfolded, while their bare legs
bore the marks of the fogging which had
been administered. The negroes were
cut loose, and then asked to explain the
meaning of their treatment. They did
not know. All they could tell was that
a mob of about seventy FIVE colored men
called at the house of Mrs Ross and Mrs
Whitfield, on Fourteenth street between
First and Second avenues. and ordered
them out and took them and logged
them until they promised to leave town,
and were told that if they were seen to ,
day. they would be hung tonight. with
out any fooling. The whipped negroes
were brought to this city and went over
to Davenport, but were back again this
morning. Ham" is big fellow, with
no particular occupation, and has served
a term in the penitentiary. Brown is
smaller and does odd Jobs about town,
They say the mob were disguised with
mosquito netting, old sacks, etc, but
that they recognized some of them, the
names of whom they have not yet given
to the police, however. They seen
afraid to reveal anything that they know.
| The reason of the flogging seems to be
that the victims have driven Tom Ross
away from his home repeatedly. having
him arrested for intoxicstion and dis,
turbing the peace, and in his absence

The negroes took the matter into theil

came the reply; ''aud only hope that
the Appropriation may stand as it unani-

for Maj. McKenzie's district, which ex

after giving US liberal amount for the
snag boats and the canal, leaves $500, 9
