A MAN LYNCHED BY A MAD MOB.
lie was Hung, Cut and Dragged
Through the Streets in a Horrible
Manner.

A special dispatch from Corunna,
Mich, to the Detroit Tr bune says :
William Sullivan, the farm hand
who so brutally murdered his EN-
ployer, Layton Leach, ard murder
ously assaulted the latter's wife, has
paid the penalty of his crime. He
was takon from Jail and lynched at
$40 o'clock p. M.
The mob consisted Of over 800
men, who shouted themselves hoarse
as the body dangled at the end of a
rope. Just before he was taken
from his cell, Sullivan attempted to
commit suicide with a. knife which
he had in some manner concealed
about his person.
By means Of sledges the Jail was
soon broken open by the mob. A
moose was placed around his neck
and the crowd dragged him through
the Jail corridors to the big Jail yard
and to low, marshy square OF
ground about 200 feet to the rear of
the jail building under the oak.
Men fought, struggled and cursed
tor the privilege of helping to tug at
the rope, which was thrown over
the limb, and with a sudden jerk,
Sullivan who had been lying motion
less and apparently unconscious on
the ground, was raised to sitting
posture.
Another pull and his head and
shoulders were visible above the
black mass of those that surrounded
the spot.
The body was pushed from HAND
to hand and several drew pocket
knives and lunged at the swinging
corpse.
Others began to tear the clothing
and in few moments only the
sheds of his shirt remained hanging
to his shoulders.
When the body was lowered to
the ground,portions of the mob which
had been unable to get close enough
to take hand in the actual hang
ing, seized upon the rope and drag
ged the liteless body through the
mire.
Afterward the crowd dragged him
about the streets and around the
courthouse square.

the left side ard entered the lett
lung, making a bad wound. AS the
boy would breathe tbs air would
rush out,while he also spat up blood.
The difficulty that brought on the
fight was triling and originated by
disposition to bully and not TO be
bullied. 1t islsaid at one time, it
looked as if several others woul1 be
involved in the fight, as rocks and
knives had been drawn and some
harsh language Used. Bob Hicks
who did the cutting is about II
years old and is son of Constable
John Hicks, one of the. cleverest
men IN the county. Jasper Shaw
who was cut, is about 16 years old,
and the son of a widow, Mre. Eliza

The woman and .be Rear.

The Moscow Democrat prints the
following thrilling bear story: Mrs.
Keller, whose husband works in the
lumber woods, came here Saturday to
do some trading. Her husband was
to meet her at the store and accom-
pany her home. She waited until
nearly dark, and as he had not come
she started home alone, carrying .
sack of -four. The Keller place is
three miles from Kettle Creek and the
road is through a woods. 1t was quite
dark before Mrs. Keller was near
home, and just ahead of her she saw
what she supposed was her husband
standing in the road waiting for her.
She was in a bad humor because he
had failed to meet her at the store,
and began giving him liberal pieces Of
her mind as she approached. When
she got within a few feet OF him he be-
gan TO growl back at her 80 fercely
that she stopped, and then made the
alarming discovery that she was con-
fronted by a big bear instead of her
husband. With a shrek she dropped
the sack of -four and took to her heels.
She had ran some distance when she
discovered what she thought was an.
other bear coming toward her. She
stopped in the road and filed the woods
with shrieks that were plainly heard
at Kettle Creek. But this bear was
her husband, and when she recovered
herself sufficient to recognize the fact,
she struck him a blow with her fist
between the eyes that knocked him
fat in the road and then promptly
tainted. Her husband had quite a
time in fetching her to, but when he
had succeeded she explained matters
rs they went together toward home.
The bear was gone, but he had scat
tered the contents of the -four sack
along the road for twenty yards.
