Deals Out Justice TO Two Negroes In West
Nirginia-Red Smith Caught and Strung
IIn-Hia Partner Shot to Death

0eals Out Justice TO Two Negroes In Wese
Virginia-Red Smith Caught and strung
Up-His Partner shot to Death.
NAUeATUcK, w. Va, May 14.--Caught,
ricd, condemned and executed by
Judge Lynch, is the fitting finale of the
tragedy committed on Laurel Creek,
rear Mr.. Serpells railroad camp, by
Red Smith Saturday night last, when
ne killed Lester Fields to get possess
sion of his revolver Deputy Sheriff
Meade started on Smiths trail soon
after the murder was committed, and
caught him fifteen miles below Dun
low, on the N. e. w. II. R., together
with Henry James The sheriff ar
rived at the camp with his prisoners
Friday morning about o'clock, where
he was quickly surrounded by mob Of
angry blacks, who took the prisoner
Red Smith away from him and escorted
him to the spot where he murdered the
boy Fields, they placed him on an old
gray mule, quickly adjusted the rope TO
limb near by and around his neck, tied
red cotton handkerchief over his face.
They asked him what he had to say, and
his last words were: Elk the rope to
suit yourself" The mule was whipped
up, and Smith was jerl1ed into eternity.
There were 200 or 800 men, all blacks,
except few white spectators, who did
the lynching. There was no noise. Ev-
erything was done quickly and quietly.
Then posting up the following notice,
the mob dispersed: "No one allowed to
take this body down before o'clock p.
N. BY THE PARTY.
When the sheriff brought the prison.
ers into camp, Negro asked them what
made them kill Fields, and Smith said:
"If have killed anybody don't know
anything about it." James spoke up
and said:
Now, Red, what do you say that for,
when you know You shot Lester in the
neck; then shot him in the head and
threw the body over the road"
Smith made no confession, and was
as Indifferent as though it was some one
else who was going to be hung. James
tells the following story:
When Lester, Red and himself started
from the lower camp for the upper one,
James did not know there was any
trouble between Lester and Red.
After they had got out of sight and
hearing of camp, Lester was walking
ahead and Smith just behind him.
Smith had a double-barreled shotgun.
He put the gun against Testers neck
and fired. Lester ran few yards and
fell. Smith then ran up to him quick
ly, and, putting the gun against his
head fired the other barrel. Picking
the body up he threw it over the road
bank.
James then started to run, and Smith
pulled the pistol out of Fields holster,
and pointing at James, commanded him
to stop, and compelled him to go with
him, guarding him all the time they
were together. james was afraid to tell,
fearing Smith would kill him. James
was turned loose.
The next day james boasted that the
Negroes could not lynch him. He
scarcely uttered the words before fifty
bullets riddled his body. None of the
lyncherS have been arrested.

THE ELEMENTS
Play Havoc In Holmes and other Coun'
tles-Many buildings bad Damaged.


ties-Many buildings had Damaged.
MnLERsBtRe, o., May 12.-one oi
the most destructive wind and hail
storms in the history of the county
took place Tuesday night. In fact, it
might be called tornado, judging by
its ravages. 1t came from the south
west, and moved at great speed toward
the northeast, and passed about three
miles northwest of town. 1t tore the
roof from the barn of Martin Negel-
spach, and badly wrecked the building,
besides lifting all the hay from the
NOW. The roof of the dwelling Of
Oscar Korns was lifted Off and carried
away. 1t badly damaged the buildings
of Harrison Pyers and several of his
neighbors. The roof of William Kidds
dwelling was partly taken away, and
the building wrenched so that the plas-
tering was crumbled from the1walls,
and the bricks from the chimneys were
blown several hundred feet.
A building fifteen by twenty-five feet,
built of heavy timber, was lifted from
its foundation and carried distance of
fifty feet and wrecked, and the buggies,
wagons and farming implements in it
smashed. Hail stones of paculiar shape
fell. Some were as long as a mans
finger, and an inch in diameter at one
end, and pointed at the other, and fell
in great profUsion. There is not an
orchard, haystack, strawstaclS nor fence
left in the path of the storm. So far
no loss of life is reported, but damage
,o,,,sYrr ~, hn,,,1,y
farmers and couriers. All the streams
are out of the banks and sweeping
everything before them. The damage
in the country will reach S75,OOO or
more.
Later reports say that the roof of a
dwelling on the farm of James Smith
was taken off, and the building twisted
out of shape. Samuel Mckenzie was
heavy loser in buildings and other
property. The damage to trees on the
infirmary farm was considerable, but
reports say the buildings are safe.
CANTON, O., May 12.-One of the
heaviest storms that ever visited this
city burst upon it Tuesday night, short
ly after o'clock. The rain fell in tor
rents, and the vivid flashes of lightning
lighted up the heavens with unusual
brilliancy. Streets were flooded and
became flowing sewers that there al
most, and in some instances entirely inn
passable. Easements and cellars
were filed. That of the Troy
laundry and steps in front Of
the building being entirely washed
away. The excavations of the public
buildings and for a business block at the
corner of Cleveland avenue and Eighth
street, were also filed with water
The storm came with such fury that
catch basins were clogged, and it was
not till the storm had ceased that men
could be put to work to clear away the
debris The Walnut street storm water
sewer could not begin to carry away
the water, and the overflowing of the
street was the result. Schrevers run,
which flows through the city, over
flowed it's banks and much damage
was done. 1t is impossible to calculate
the loss.

MEMPHIS Tenn, May 13.-Tennessee
by 300 yards of a turbid, swift-rolling
flood. The two states have clasped
hands over the muddy chasm in the
persons of their governors, who met in
the center of the great bridge for the
purpose in the presence of 10000 peo-
pie. The two executives were each
mounted on a gaily decorated locomo-
motive, and left their own territory for
the neutral point in the middle of the
great structure precisely at noon.
The famous observation of the gov
ernor of North Carolina to the governor
of South Carolina was not repeated on
this occasion, as Gov. Eagle, of Arkan-
sas, is teetoltaler.
The multitude welcomed the two gov
ernors back TO the Tennessee shore with
vociferous cheers, the swarm of river
craft footed their whistles, and the
Concord, dressed in her Sunday clothes,
fred Il national salute which was re-
piled to by artillery on shore. Many
distinguished guests were present.
Senator Voorhees,, the orator of the
day, was introduced by G.. c. Matthews,
editor of the Appeal-Avalanche. The
"Tall Sycamore" was received with tre-
mendous cheering, and was frequently
interrupted with applause during the
delivery of his address, in which he
dwelt upon the wisdom of Jefferson in
acquiring the Louisiana territory, the
growth of the south, its hopes and kim
dred topics.

AN INLAND SEA.
Fearful Destruction Wrought By
the Constantly Swelling River.
Thousands of Acres OF Growing wheat
Under water-Ten Miles Wide IL the
Average Width of the Stream
Many Homes Abandoned.

ST. LOUIS, May 16.-The river at 10
p. m. Sunday measured $40 feet, and is
still rising at the rate of 1-10 foot an
hour. On the dock most all perishable
matter has been removed, so that in the
city proper but little more damage can
be done, except such as is naturally oc-
casioned by flooded Easements, etc.
A reporter for the Associated Press
took trip down the river for about
fourty miles Sunday. The situation
viewed from the pilot house of
the steamer is one which at first
glance is seen to be most serious.
Thousands of acres on which week
ago the waving wheat was growing,
making a rich carpet of green, are now
vast lakes of water whose surface is
broken by floating pieces of furniture,
dwellings and here and there the body
of cow or hog. From bluff to bluff
this is the unbrolxen monotony that
greets the eye. Ten miles is the aver
age width of the river as far down as
the steamer proceeded.
Hundreds of homes have been aban-
doned and the number of cattle de-
bUIOycu 10 cApcCJtNl W ICdSh AIlO JhS
thousands. At Monte Sano and Rock
bridge q number of RATS were seen
transporting households from those
places to the bluffs. Just below Smith
Point, on small piece of land, were
over u hundred cattle, whose death the
rapidly encroaching water made but the
question of few hours.
Bends island on the Illinois side is
three feet under water. Near here, on
the Mississippi side, in the vicinity of
the White house, is the st. Louis Iron
Mountain and Southern railway track.
The embankment, which is dealt vigor-
Gus blows by the rapidly-fowing cur
rent, has in many places been UNDER
mined and no trains have been run over
the track for thirty-six hours.
Untold damage will be suffered by tho
railroad company at this point alone.
Up the Merrimac river the backwater
has undermined the foundations of over
a hundred houses. 1t is stated that two
st. Louis peddlers were drowned early
Sunday morning there, but their names
could not be learned. At Fosters island
1000 acres of fine farming lands are
covered with two feet of water. and all
hope of raising a crop this year has been
given up.
