An Alleged Rapist Hanged by Mob at
Hebron, Neb.
HEBRON, Neb., June 1S.-Eli Owens, the
rapist, was lynched at three a. m. yesterday
morning by a crowd of fifteen masked men
from Alexandra, who broke down the cell
door with sledge hammer, threw rope
around the prisoners neck and dragged him
to a wagon. His cries for help were heard
throughout the town, but wers unheeded
for some time. Judge C. L. Richards and
w. ID. Galbrich attempted to rescue the
prisoner. but revOlvers were placed
to their heads and they were told
II they called for aid they would die. The
prisoner was then dragged out. He re-
sisted strenuOusly and fought like tiger,
and with knife of some kind he cut ono
Of his assailants on the hand or wrist.
Two other prisoners confined in the Jail on
small charges-Prince and Henry Lat
teridge-say that the first intimatiOn they
at the outside window of the cell occupied
by them. A gun was thrust through the
bars and its owner, in q gruff voice, said !:
II want Eli Owens" He was answered
that Owens was not in that cell.
They say Owens seemed to realize
from the first that he was wanted.
The wretched man was conveyed to place
about four miles east of Hebron. The
sheriff followed the crowd post haste, but
through some mistake took the wrong road.
1t was some time before the track of the
lynchers could be discovered. A trail was
struck, however. and in about one hour $
time from starting the body was discovered
swaying to and fro in the cool morning
breeze on tree. The lynchers' work was
done, and Owens paid the penalty
with his life. The body was still
warm when, the sheriff cut it down.
Several bruises were OH the
body, showing the prisoner had been NAL
treated by the crowd before he was hung.
Eli Owens went to the residence of f.
Church. near Alexandria. where Ida Grim,
his sixteen-year-0ld sister-in-law was EN-
plOyed as domestic, and invited the girl to
go riding. She accepted the invitation.
and, as her story goes, the couple rode to a
place about two miles west of Alexandria,
where he made an assault on her.

The antiquity CT the harp appears

The antiquity CT the harp appears
IN the fact that ancient Egyptian fres-
Goes contain harps that are three
thousand years old. Bruce gives some
copies of paintings in one-hundred-
gated Thebes of a harp in the tomb of
Rameses, thus showing that before
Athens was built the Egyptians used
this instrument. Bible readers know
King David's favorite instrument was
the harp called kinnor. 1t is said that
when hung over his couch the wind
caused the strings to sound at mid
night-the principle of the eOlian
harp.

How General Lee Courted Death.
Washington Letter.


Mr.. Reagan gives me new fact in General
Lees history which is not generally known in
the North. He said that towards the close OF
the downfall of the confederate government
there was a very general impression among the
high officials Of the Confederacy that General
Lee intended to lose his life the field of bat
tie. THIS impression was shared by the officers
of Lees army General Lee never lost an OPP
portunity of placing himself in position of
danger. General Reagan says that he drove out
from Richmond to see Lee upon the day the prin-
cipal battle of Cold Harbor was fought AS he
came up near where he could see Lees head
quarters he saw the shells bursting continually
around his tent and blowing up the ground in
front of him. Some of the officers asked Mr..
Reagan to try and persuade General Lee to
move his headquarters behind piece of timber
near by All felt that he was exposing his life
too much. Mr.. Reagan said to General Lee: II
do not presume to advise any general in the
midst of battle, but are you not exposing your
self too muchl Ought you DOT to go back nearer
your reseryel" General Lee said he had no re-
serve. He had only one line of men. He did
not dare to shorten his line Tor fear ir would be
turned, and did not dare to thin il for fear it
would be broken. General Lee evidently sought
death many times during the closing days of the
war; That was the view of the Southern lead
ers them and is still believed by many.

A Singular Darnage suit.

A curious case is being tried in the Circuit
Court at ACKNOWLEDGMENT Bolts against
George and William Mcclure, for FIVE thou
sand dollars damages On last ST. Val
entine's day some person sent George Nc
Clure, a prominent Henryville farmer com
ic valentine. He accused Margaret Bolts, a
handsome eighteen year-old girl, with having
sent it. This the girl denied, but they did not
believe her Accordingly a few months ago,
the McCIures sent little boy to Miss Margaret,
telling her Mrs. Mcclure wanted to see her. Little
thinking of the danger, she went to the Mcclure
house. Once she was inside George and William
locked the door, telling her she would have to stay
there until she confessed that she sent the val
entine. The girl screamed and begged to be re-
leased, but all to no avail, and finally she said
she sent 1t. Her father fixes his damages at So,
O00 and thinks his daugAer's feelings have been
hurt in that amount.
