PINE BLUFF, Ark, Oct. ga negro
named Hugh Blackburn was hanged to-
day at Toledo, the county seat OF Cleve-
land county for the murder OF desperate
railroad negro, known as Big Six, about
eighteen months since. They were play
ing game Of craps and they had a dis
pute over dime, and Big Six gave Black
burn rather severe beating. Blackburn
nursed his wrath until the next morning
at 9 o'clock, when he laid in ambush, and,
as Big Six was proceeding to work, hailed
him with cooked gun, and said: snow,
have YOU" and poured the contents Of
the shotgun into the body Of Big Six, who
died instantly. Blackburn was arrested
at Pine Bluff, and attempted to elude his
pursuers by swimming the Arkansas river,
when n shot in the wrist caused him to
retrace his course TO the bank, when he
was easily captured. lie is OF bad char.
acter. Not great while since, in Drew
county, he nearly stamped the life out Of
his wife, and the sheriff. in attempting to
arrest him. had severe pistol wound in.
flicted upon him.
At 10 o'clock am. he was brought out
on the scanold. twenty-five jurors were
admitted 10 the execution. lie did not
indulge in the usual reveries about the
golden stairs, and when questioned by
your reporter on the subject he expressed
doubts us TO whether he would be saved
He thought he had been given fair trial,
but thought his reputation in the adjoin-
ing county prcjudiced his case. The
sheriff, he said. treated him kindly and
just. AS the moose was being adjusted he
followed in a firm voice Good by,every-
body" Though his nerves appeared
steady he had 10 be lifted up. Finally, he
offered up plaintive praper with much
native eloquencc. The black cap was adj
iustcd aud at 1890 o'clock the trap fell
and his body plunged dangling in the air
His neck was not broken and his body
swayed TO and fro with convulsive mo-
tons In fifteen minutes he was pro.
nounced dead and the body was lowered
into the coffin.

hired man, who slept up stairs, were
awakened about 2 o'clock this morning by

Roadway. They escaped and finally sue
ceeded in getting the bodies of Mr.. and
Mrs. Sellers out Both were dead. The
mans head was burned of, but the
woman's skull had been crushed and her
jaw broken. The coroner held an inquest
and decided that both had been murdered.
Sellers was very wealthy, and was in the

committed by burglars. There is great
excitement in the vicinity OF Mount
