Especial to the Americana
HENDERSON, KY, Jan. 25.-About
four miles west of this city lives Mrs.
Graves, widow OF sixty-fve, with
her invalid SON and two daughters.
They were very poor people, but be-
liked by their neighbors. At one
o'clock Sunday morning the family
were disturbed by loud rappings on
the door and demands for admit
lance. The demand was refused and
at once an effort was made to break
the door in. Then it was learned
that Cal. Simpson, brutal negro,
was the one demanding admittance,
and the character of language en-
ploye1 left no doubt Of the Negroes
purpose. The son went to secure the
aid of Henry Smith, a negro, and
while gone Simpson burst in the
back door and the women ran out
the front door, he following them and
swearing his purposes. Mrs. Graves
slipped on the frozen ground and he
crushed her skull with one blow and
then started In pursuit of the fleeing
girls, who were dressed only in night
robes, and was rapidly gaining on
them, when Henry Smith met him
and commanded him to desist. He
stopped, and the young women hid
under the culvert of the bridge of
Strong Water Greek and remained
there an hour in the cold, with shiv-
ering form and terror stricken hearts.
They then went to the house of a
neighbor, where they stayed until
morning, in ignorance of their moth
er's fate. In a short time the neigh
bors were aroused, and when the
yeomen saw the dead woman, with
her white hair dyed in her life-blood,
thirst for vengeance was born. The
cabin of the negro was surrounded
and efforts were being made to lynch
him, when an official posse arrived
to make the arrest. Simpson made
no effort to escape from the officers.
All day Sunday knots Of men who
are not mob supporters, could be seen
in conversation. At midnight
about fifty men were at the Jail,
and the jailcr very sensibly made no
resistance, as it would have been use
less. In a short time Cal Simpson
was in the hands of cool men, who
spoke not but acted, carrying him TO
near the city limits. In grove a
tree was selected and he was then
told to do what talking he wanted to.
He began again of his commission
from God, and prayed that his life
might be saYed by divine interposi-
ton. firing of such stuff man
swung himself into tree and adjust
cd a rope over the limb, ordering
those below to 'pull away" There
was a slight surge in the crowd, and
as the dimly lit sky covered them
they drew the fiend into the air. No
noise had been made, and one stand
ing by watching the sight would
have to know that mob was al
work TO suspect such fact.

The Mall On The Lafayette Route
Again Suffers.

Monday night about 7 o'clock a
warrant of arrest was issued for Tom
Vaughn, he being accused of robbing
the mail between lIopkinsville and
Lafayette. The warrant was given
TO policeman G. A. Biggerstaif who
found Vaughn on Sixth ST. and i'm
mediatoly took him in charge, and
placed him in jail.
Between December 18th and Both
Of last year the mail bag key was
missing from the Roaring Springs
post-ofiice which is on the Lafayette
route. Suspicion was at once aroused
and a sharp lookout has been kept
ever since for developments. Janua-
ry 9th registered letter sent from
Lafayette to Chicago containing $50
was missing, and the matter was al
once investigated. Tom Vaughn,
who Is the mail carrier on the route
was at once suspected, and as he was
seen TO have a surplus of money, and
told conflicting tales about being paid
of by his employer, Mr.. w. d. Pace,
who Is the contractor, he was at once
arrested.
Tom Vaughn Is young man about
IL years old aud is generally conceded
to be a pretty shrewd fellow. He Is
a son lof Mr.. Tom Vaughn, who
lives near Pembroke, Ky. Young
Vaughn has been carrying the mail
for three or four months and did bis
work we'll up to the time Of his ar.
rest. When he was arrested he made
no inquiry as to the cause Of his ar.
rest until he arrived at the Jail.
The mail on this route has been
robbed every year for three years
aud this Is the first arrest that ha;
been made, as no positive evidence
could ever be brought to bear on the
previous robberies. A detective will
work the case up, and If the facts in
the case are strong enough Vaughn
will be carried 10 Louisville for trial

One of the safest indications for

not SO much seen in the figures from
its charming houses as in higher
standard of moral and christian up
rightness among its citizens. With
its young men idle, unemployed, ig-
norant, no city, whatever may be Its

or penitentiaries arc at the wrong
end of the line as corrective energies.

the letter, but the spirit of true citi-

less idleness, more Taxpayers and
less tax; besides the moral good
which can alone be computed by the
mathematics of eternity.

Verify the attempt OF the democracy to

Is no unity Of feeling or action visible;
