NOR At RARNESvTnF

GAINESVILLE was very greatly agltateo
on Thursday of last week, by the story
of the brutal conduct of a well known
negro named Robert Gibson, toward a
5-year-old daughter of Frank Jeffries
of that place. About noon Gibson was
seen in the vicinity of an outhOuse in
the rear of the First National Bank,
with the child, and they were observed
to enter the building. The report gain
ed credence that the purposes of the
lustful negro was to debauch the child,
and the public indignation became in
tense. However, the fellow paraded the
streets for some time, as ii his act of
enticing the child for any purpose was a
very proper thing, and he was unmoleSt-
ed by the crowd who afterWard set the
officers of the law at defiance. a war
rant was finally sworn out by the father
I of the child, and placed in the hands OF
Marshal Renner. Gibson was arrested
by W. H. Brown, a deputy, short dis
tance east of town, and taken back to
the lookup, where he was guarded by
Officers Renner and John Buiger. About
! ii O'Clock the same evening a mob of
possibly fifty or a hundred men, headed
by some half-dOZen well known negro
haters,' made a rush upon the jail in the
temporary absence of Officer Renner,
who had gone to get a lunch, and over
powered Bulger, and with sledgeS be-
gan battering down the door of the jail.
Renner put in an appearance before the
work was completed, and piled his mace
vigorously, but he too was OyerpOwered
and roughly used, and given to under
stand that his protection of the prison
er would be at his own peril. Finally
the destruction of the door was accom-
pliShed and the prisoner secured. He
was hustled through the streets to lot
near town, where, amid the cries of the
excited crowd, ''hang him" 'shoOt him, ="
''cut his throat" and the like, it was de-
termined to whip him. He was stripped
and tied to tree, and his body was
lacerated by bunch of beech witheS,
and he was otherwise severely punished,
and returned to the lookup, where the
officers of the law were kindly permitted
to keep him in custody. The next day
brother of the man, named Minor Glib
son, who was charged with indecently
exposing his person, was arrested, and
the twain were brought to jail in this
place.
The Grand Jury investigated carefully
both the cases and failed to find any ev-
idence upon which to base an indict-
ment against Bob Gibson, the man
about whom the mobites flew into such
a fine frenzy.
The negro was doubtless guilty of
wrong against society, and his action in
decoying an innocent child was an out
rage-it was bestial, deserving of the
severest censure and punishment, yet
the action of the mob in defying law
cannot be tolerated. 1t was the duty Of
the officers to protect the prisoner, and
the men who set at defiance their author
ity set themselves up against the au-
thority of the State court and jury. |
Belmont county cannot afford to be gov
erned by such law, and the Grand Jury
has so found.

THE BREATH of chronic catarrh pa
tient is often so offensive that he becomes
an object of disgust. After a time ulcer
alton sets in, the spongy bones are attack
ed, and frequently entirely destroyed. A
constant source Of discomfort is the drip
ping of the puruient secretions into the
throat, sometimes producing inveterate
bronchitis, which i'll its turn has been the
exciting cause of pulmonary disease. The
brilliant results which have attended its
use for years past properly designate Ely's
Cream Balm as by far the best and only
cure. 53I-2
