A Disappointed lynching Party.

MARsHFIELD, No., June S.-Eph-
riam Bennett, who killed his brother
in-law, n. L. Buchanan, was bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury Wednesday. After the prelini-
nary trial small knots of men were
seen gathering on different parts of
the public square. In the meantime
Sheriff James Goss became suspicious
and managed to spirit Bennett
out of Jail He also took
with him Wesley Hargis, the
self-confessed murderer of Lum
Yandles, who committed his crime in
the same neighbOrhood. With a
posse Sheriff GOss took his prisoners
to the w"ods. A little before mid
night Deputy Smith, who was in
charge of The Jail, was aroused by re-
peated knocking ON the door. Upon
opening Le was confronted by twenty
masked men, who demanded of him
the keys and ordered him to lead them
to Benefits cell. The deputy in
formed them that Bennett was not in
the Jail. Not satisfied, they searched
the sheriff's living apartments on
the first floor and then proceeded to
the cells on the second floor, which
they thoroughly ransacked. The jail
outside was surrounded by about 200
men. No noise was made and persons
living few yards distant did not
know what had transpired during the
night. The mob dispersed as quickly
as it came. Wednesday afternoon
the sheriff brought the prisoners from
concealment and took Bennett to the
Springfield Jail on the evening train
for safe keeping.
