An Alabama Lypching.

New ORLEANS, La, Oct. 13.-The
Times-Democrat's Sunny South, Ala,
special says: 1t is learned last night a
mob of Infatuated citizens stormed the
Jail at Monroeville and took therefrom
Burrell Jones and his son Moses, with
two accomplices, who are charged with
numbering Richard L. Johnson and
bis daughter and burning the
bodies at their residence at
Davis Ferry last Saturday night.
The prisoners were taken from the jail
and an attempt made to spirit them
away, but the officials ran into another
mob, who took the four prisoners and
after hanging them to a tree filled their
bodies with bullets. Burreli Jones made
II full confession while in jail and said
that the four men went to Johnson's for
the purpose of robbery and the old
man discovered them, whereupon he
was murdered with an axe. The daugh-
ter came to the rescue of her father and
they assaulted her and murdered her.
The house was then set on fire to hide
all traces of the crime.

crop of Michigan this year, as indicated
by reports made to the secretary of
state, is "A, 140,767 bushels. Wheat is

age crop. Winter apples are estimated
to yield Is per cent. in the southern
counties, 43 in the central, and 80 in the

How Ranchmen Ext-rminated Band of
Horse Thieves.

How Ranchmen DIFFERENTIATED q Band of
Horse Thieves.
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 17.--Wilson Mar
vim, just in from Deer Flat. in the
northern portion of Idaho, has given
Deputy Sheriff Morton, of Emmett, de-
tails of battle that resulted in the COM
plete obliteration of a large gang Of
horse thieves, who had long been q
source Of great loss to farmers and
stockmen. The outlaws had stolen sew
eral hundred head of horses, which
they had run into British Columbia,
and thence into the eastern provinces
of Canada or into the Atlantic states,
and the owners of the stock were fren-
zled with chagrin and rage.
Early in August large posse went out
in search of the thieves. who had re-
turned to the Samas Prairie country,
and were operating with the utmost
bOldness. The posse was absent about
fortnight. The posse reached home
bearing the marks of a hard campaign.
Some of the men bore wounds of a Pc
culiar character, but they did not have
much to say concerning their trip, and
no one questioned them.
Marvin asserts that he witnessed q
battle near Deer Flat between rustlers
and the posse on the afternoon of Au-
gust II. Thieves had unsaddled their
horses at spring at the head of a shall
low basin, about a quarter of mile in
diameter. They numbered eight, were
we'll mounted and heavily armed and
had about dozen fine horses which
they had stolen from farmers. The
rustlers were cooking their dinner
when the posse came up and surprised
them.
Finding themselves surrounded, the
thieves shot five or six of the stolen
horses and intrenched between the
breastworks of quivering flesh, made q
stubborn resistance. The bullets of the
posse soon ended the existence of the
saddle animals of the rustlers and
wounded some of the thieves, but the
fact that they had been deprived of all
hope of escape made them all the more
desperate.
The shooting was all at long range,
and, after an hours battle, no fatalities
save to the horses had resulted. The
posse then drew off and held a consul
tatlOn, alter which a majority of the
pursuers ranged themselves in long
line about half mile to the leeward of
the thieves. Then the few men left on
the windward side, set the prairie grass
afire.
The hunted men started for distant
gulCh in an attempt to escape the double
danger that threatened them. Three
of their number were wounded, and
those, the other rustlers left to perish.
The rustlers dropping everything except
their rifles, ran toward ravine. firing
as they went, but were shot down be-
fore they had gone 200 yards.
The prairie fire did not destroy the
wounded rustlers left at the spring.
though it slnged off their hair, boards,
and burned their faces and hands very
badly. They begged plteously to be al
lowed to die in peace, but they, togeth-
er with the bodies of their six dead
companions, were strung to the limbs Of
a big tree and allowed to remain there
to become the prey of buzzards.
