TO hurry the prisoner away through the
woods, but the mob followed along with
them and took him from them as the
mad rush was continued through the little
timber and dense underbrush. When a
point about 800 yarGs from the road was
reached man ran ahead and climbed a
post oak and, sitting astride limb, called
for the end OF herope. The doomed man
was hurried to the tree, the rope was
TGuTENEp AROUND his NECK
and the end was thrown towards the man
in the tree. II was too short aud did not
reach him. The other rope was called for
and a gentleman in the crowd elbowed his
way up to the prisoner as he stood without
a sign OF emotion, and called on the crowd
TO consider what they were doing, us there
was still Il chance OF the mans innocence.
"lle has attempted TO rape negro girl,
anyhow. That is in proof and he ought
to be hung for that" This settled his
fate. "You have got minute to live,"
was said as the new rope was being
spliced to the old ave will make il five
minutes il you want to prav," said by
stander with his watch in hand. The
doomed mans lips trembled slightly,
the only signs of emotion visible
81 do not want to pray. did not do It."
''IIe is stubborn. He'll never confess"
said the determined man who was splicing
the rope.
Two attempts were made to throw the
rope to the men in the tree. The third
succeeded. A powerful man seized the
prisoner as he stood with hands tied and
RAISED HIN FROM THE GROUND.
The slack was taken up by the man who
had taken half hitch around the limb
with the rope. Two other men seized the
prisoner and showed him up the body of
the tree as lar as they could reach, without
as much as a murmur on his part. The
slack was again taken up. The end Of the
rope was dropped to the ground. II was
seized by half dozen men. The man
slid down the body Of the tree, and the
end OF the rope was tied TO little pine
sapling and the dangling body, with pop
ping eyes, swung in the air, without n
murmur or an evidence OF pain, in the
presence OF 800 people, few of whom
were women, standing around in the
thick underground. Lets all take shot
at him" was shouted, aud, almost as quick
as that, 800 shots rang forth aud 100 bull
lets pierced the body. The deed was
done. The crime was expiaicd. Tho rid
died body hung dangling in the air. A
stream Of people came down the road from
the town to view the corpse, and the rope
WIS cut into shreds and carried away as
momentocs. The negro was cut down by
the county undertaken and buried several
hours aiterwarl
MRS. RnLuN ADMITS MS GUILT.
When tho news Of the hanging was car
ricd 10 Mrs. kelum she said:
"Now that il is over will say he was
the man."
Since the negroes learned that Meadows
committed the same crime on one OF their
color two years ago they have been in en-.
tire sympathy with the whites, and many
OF them participated in the lynching. The
hanging took place at 1856 O'Clock in the
morning and not a man in the mob wore a
mask.

THE FIRE RECORD.
The Fires Range.

HELENA, MONT. Aug. 81 Those who
have never Travelled over the section of
the country known as the Northwest can
have no idea of the area of prairie and
timber the fires have covered. Starting
away up in British Columbian, Kontenai
county, four weeks ago owing to the
parched condition Of the country, no
rain of any consequence having fallen
for ninety days, the fire Travelled wit h
great rapidity, passing south through
Montana into Idaho, extending into
Washington, III west, then south again
to Wyoming and Colorado. Montana,
perhaps, has suffered the most. The
fire then ran through the prairie country
TO the Dakota line, crossed the divide of
the Rockies, set the Bitter Roots aflame,
worked into the mountains near Phillips,
destroyed timber and did great damage
in the National park, but if possible the
prairie fires are dOubly so. Granville
Stewart, one of the best authorities III
Montana, estimates the loss by the fires
in Montana at 500 900 a day.
