STRUNG UP TO A TREE.

SHREVEPORT, La. May 25.-The two
negroes, William and John Anderson.
who dragged and held Jane Ware tcol.
ored) across railroad track so that she
was run over and killed by freight
train, have beon lynched. The pursu-
ing party, made up largely of colored
men, surprised tho murderers near the
Arkansas state line and disarmed them
before they could offer any resistance.
After being given time to pray ropes
were placed around their necks and
their bodies were left dangling from the
limb of tree. The murderers were
sullen and defiant To the last and offered
no word of regret for their crime. The
summary removal of these desperadoes
relieves the community of danger ap-
pretended constantly from their pres
pEco.
