of the Murderera Speedily Hanged By

another colored man passed the store
and inquired OF win the cause Of his
early purchasing. He answered that he
was going TO take in the Higginsville
fair.

into the store TO ascertain why Mr.. Park
or did not show up and was Mortified
70 find him cold in death, with his throat
cut from oar to ear, besides deep cash
in the head and broken collar bone.
When the report was given out
posse began a search and at this hour
the murderer has not been arrested 1t
is the general impression that when the
rascal is found that he will be hanged
to the nearest limb as Mr. Parker was
a quiet and much respected gentleman
The murder was evidently committed
with view OF robbery. but nothing was
missed from the room.
In the pocket of vest Of Mr. Perkins
which hung on the wall was $50 in cur
rency and in a shot sack on shelf was
some $40 or $50 in silver
II there was any money In the drawer
the murderer took it. as the combina-
ton on the drawer was broken.
Later--The negro was found near
Mayview late last night and lynched
outright
Ho acknowledged the murder and pro-
duced a corn knife with which the MUIR
der was committed.
