Say, was it a mother
Across the deep seal

Or was it a father
Decrepit and old,
Or a golden-haired rosebud

Perhaps twas a brother!
In boybood, may be,

His brother and he
Or was it his partner
Who fell by his side :
Now, none to console him,
No heart to cOniide.

He wears it to cover
The grease on his hat.

DOUBLE LYNCHING.
Two Assassins Swung OF Quietly at Clin-
ton, XIV.


CAIRO, LII, Feb. 2s-At two o'clock this
morning mob of fifty men broke into the
Jail at Clinton, KY, and took therefrom
Sam Price, white, and VIM. Remus, black,
and swung them over the limb of conven.
lent sycamore tree. The bodies were per-
mitted to hang until after daylight, when
tn y were cut down by the author
tiles and buried. The mob
is said to have been composed
Of men residing in Hickman County, many
of them not even wearing masks of any
kind. Most of the avengers, however,
wore haudkerchefs over their faces, but
as is usual with organizations Of that
character were silent and acted un Ter
leader who appeared to know his
business. About three months ago
Sam Price was arrested near his home
in Clinton by Sheriff Henry Winter for
some violation of the law. Ag'.iug for
pepmission to enter bis mothers house
| fo, change OF clothing, he suddenly reap
| peared at the door with a rifle and shot
| the sheriff dead in his tracks. THIS deed
was applauded by the mother, who was
| on the spot, and who undoubtedly was
| largely instrumental in causing the mur-
| der. After long chase and reward Of
81 200 had been offered the fugitive was
| captured at Dresden, Tenn, and
brought to Kentucky fow weeks ago,
being kept in the Dresden jail somo
time on account Of lynchng if hc
were confined at Clinton. Two brothers
in-law Of Price and his mother, all more or
less implicated in the murder, were
in the Jail, but were unmolcsted.
Remus on Saturday night was detected in
stealing chickens from the yard of j. I.
jackson, residing in tho city LIMITS of
| Clinton, and when ordered off The
yard he drew a revolver and fired
two shots, both taking effect in the
breast of Jackson, causing his death Il
few hours later. The excitement WAS in
tense when the passenger train passed
Clinton this morning. 1t is claimed that
some Of the mob was recognized, but ii il
not probable any effort will be made to ar
rest the offenders. 1t was clanuiSh part )
which organized for an expedition Of tAa'
character, and it is unlikely they viii cvoi
