MOB LAW IN OMAHA.
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 10.-Public
sentiment, which was wrought up
highly here yesterday by the exc
cution of the mul derer, Neal, was
reused to higher pitch when a
report became current that little
Lizzie Yates, 1.-THE 5-year-old victim
of a lustful assam by Joe Coe, dis
reputable negro, had died. 1--WE
will lynch the nlgger," was soon
heard on every side, aud it was
evident the people meant what they
said. Last night there suddenly
came the sound of great crowd of
men hurrying toward the county
Jail, and IN a remarkably short time
that building was surrounded. Eells
filed the air; hundreds shouting at
once what to do. The mob stood
rresolute for some time. Meanwhile
few policemen and force of dep
atty sheriffs was concentrated. A
rush was then made for the South
street door of the Jail, but the crowd
was stopped by glittering revolver
in the hand of Police Captain Cor
mack, who asked what they wanted.
"We want that nigger," was the
reply; "and we will get him. Get
out of thu way" "If you take
step this way, will kill YOU" said
the captain, and his nerve had the
due effect
The crewd then assaulted the east
door with sledges and steel rails.
Then ex Govefnor Boyd pushed his
way through the crowd to the door
and shouted, at will be disgrace
to Omaha, aud lmplore you to be
/ quiet and desist fsom unlawful
efforts. Let the law take its due
course His words were cut of by
"A man who shouted, "You are not

steel door. In five minutes il was
open, aud the second one assailed.
During this time Omaha's police

was impossible. The officers were
lost in the crowd. Some one sug-
gested that the fire department be
called out and the hose turned on.
but II was not the kind Of mob
that melts. Firemen came and laid
the hose whereupon the mob carried
the hose up aud drove the firemen
away, They were after the mig
ger"
The crowd soon effected an en-.
trance to the cell, all the time keep,
ing up n din of yells and curses,
The police attempted to stop the
mob, but were p0werless. The
nego begged and pleaded, but it was
of no use. His shrieks for mercy
were answered with blows that
brought his executioners nearer. Al
this time the door was open. Then,
with one last yell of terror, the
nego was seized by the hands OF
men eager for his blood, and thrust
through the corridor, There Is a
driveway tity yards long leading
nom the Jail; this is paved with
rough granite aud over Il the un-
fortunate wretch was dragged. In
all prOblbility he was unconscious,
II not dead, by the time the street
was reached. A rope was thrown
over the trolley wire Of the electric
car line, aud In a minute high In the
air there swung the lifsless form Of a
colored fiend.
