which have grown out OF race jealousy and
the competitions and rivalries of labor.

New Method of Lynching q william.

The wife OF Jacob Freimuth, a home
steader in Seward county, Kansas, was
murdered and outraged by Fritz Rupin, a
half-witted German. Eupin had been Tor
some time enjoying the hospitality OF the
Freimuths. He was homeless and without
friends. and they had taken him in until
he could find work. During the tenn
porary absence OF Mr.. Freimuth, Rupin
overpowered his benefactor's wife and bru-
tally outraged her person and then killed
her. The posse then set out to scour the
country for the murderer, and found him
secreted in a small ravine, several miles
away from the scene of his crime, near the
Cinnamon river. A fractious and spirited
horse was secured and saddled. One end
of the long lariat was then fastened around
his neck and the other extremity
was attached to the pommel OF
the saddle. The horse was then started,
and amid the shouting of the men and
cracks OF rev volvers and rifles the frightened
animal tore madly away. After run OF
nearly five miles the beast fell exhausted
and the lifeless body OF the murderer was
loosened as soon as the men came up. The
lariat had drawn SO tight that his head
was almost severed from his body. The
features showed that he had died terrible
death. The body was feft on the prairie,
uncovered.
