EXC7TEMENTIN SOMERSET.
Ja:zor Shepherd Ouerpowered and
the G;lltla,sd Brothers Taken Out
and Strung up They Protest
Their Innocence to tie Last.
BY the United Press

SOMERSET, KY, Sept. Is. The
Gilliland brothers, James H. and
Josiah, were lynched this morning
by mob for the murder of Sheriff
McCargue, of Pulaski county, last
Saturday. The mob is supposed to
have come mostly from Whitley and
Laurel counties. McCargue was
raised in Laurel county and had
many friends in that section.
SOMERSET, KY, Sept. Is. At
late hour last night there was a
great crowd of men gathered in
front of the court house and the
ominous words s'one o'clock" were
whispered from one to another.
Without any conference they filed
down to the Jail, only to be repulsed
by a guard Of some ten men in
charge of chief of police Anderson.
The guards stood at their post
until they saw it was useless
and then came the demand for the
jailor Shepherd was called to the
door and overpowered by the
mob ard was forced to give up the
keys to the Jail, when the prisoners
were taken out and hanged. The
: Gilliland boys were game to the
last, and no confession could be pro-
] cured, they only asking 20 kneel and
pray and protest their innocence
, Their groans were only answered by
angry curses from the mob.
The authorities at this place die
t al in their power to suppress and
e quell the angry mob. McCargue
was one of the most popular men il
It the county. The streets at thi
hour e a. N.Y. are as quiet as i
5; nothing had happened other thai
usual. The men were hanged OF
J; the limbs of two sycamore trees
d one on each tree, in hollow abou
three squares west of Somerset, il
t, sight of the cemetery.
James II. Gilliland was a tall
lie blonde man, with light moustach
and blue eyes. His younge
It, brother, Josiah, was a slight, smoot
facedl lad of 20 summers. James pr,
tested his innocence to the last, an
his last words we're: 81 am dyin
fer another's crime" He uttered
prayer, but was interrupted by or
of the mob, who told him to cd
- telling the truth; don't die with
, lie on your lips" He is the OF
T. who is supposed to have fredthe f
tai shot and many crimes have bee
laid at his door. Josiah protestt
his innocence, but acted as if
Z, wanted to tell something. At tn
juncture the word was passed dow
al the line 1--WE are pursued" whl'
proved to be false alarm. Whe
l. the crowd got settled the young
brother was hanged to another sy
amOre tree.

MADRID, Sept. Is. News slowly
coming in from the south of Spain
reports the damage by reason of the
floods in that section as being gen.
eral. The loss to property is some
thing enormous and everywhere
railway trains have been derailed
and the roads flooded. The meagre
details thus far received from the
province of Toledo give harrow
ing accounts of the extent
and phenomena of the overwhelming
catastrophe which had befallen the
province. So sudden was the break
ing forth Of the waters that in num-
bevless instances the unfortunate
people were drowned before they
could leave their beds. Strong
bodies of laborers, assisted by troops,
are working night and day to re-
cover the bodies of those drowned
or crushed to death, but up to the
present time only four hundred of
the bodies of the missing thousands
have been secured. The vintage
and the corn crop of the distressed
district have been totally destroyed
so that poverty and hunger must
follow in the wake of this frightful
visitation.
Two thirds of the town of Con
sucgra in Toledo with a population
of 1000 has been destroyed by the
floods. Five hundred houses have
been destroyed at. Almeria. 1t il
certain that fully 1000 people have
lost their lives by the floods. Host
of corpses remain unburied and be

WASHINGTON, Pa, Dec. o0.-An all
night battle Wednesday night between
Hugh Curry, wealthy farmer OF AM
well township, and a number OF men in
ambush, has just como to light. Three
hundred shots wero fired, but FORUM
ately no one was wounded. Curry's
house was riddled with bullets and his
terros-stricken family spent the night
in the cellar. s
Towards morning there was a lull in
the battle, and Curry alarmed the
village by ringing tho bell in tho tower.
Several friends came to his assistance
and remained with him till daylight. 1t
has since been learned that Curry's rs,
sailants were watchmcn who wero
guarding the property OF Marion Curry,
whose property adjoins that OF his
brother Hugh. It seems that
Marion Curry has suffered from
incendiary fires, in which he
has lost thousands OF dollars. Tho
first fire was on May II, and since then
he has lost twGnty-nine hay stacks. 4
barn and stable. Tho frequent fires
have almost crlzcd Curry and ho has
been fearful OF his life. Recently he
placed guards about his farm to protect
it. The guards claim that Hugh Curry
