Two weeks ago at Denmark, in Barn
well County. a young lady was assaulted
by negro, and the crime has excited un-
usual interest In that section. The citi-
zens determined that the guilty wretch
should suffer for his crime, and the coun-
try has been searched far and wide for
him. Nineteen men were arrestsd at
various times, but they proved their
Innocence and were released. On Satur-
day John Peterson came to Columbia and
delivered himself to Governor Tillman.
He stated that he was being pursued by
some men from Denmark, and asked the
Governors protection. He said he knew
nothing Of the crime, and expressed a
desire to be carried before the young
lady so he could prove his innocence.
The negro was placed in Jail and Gov.
Tillman promised him all the protection
necessary. On Monday morning the
negro was carried to Denmark and ush-
cred at once into tho presence of the
young lady. who said he was not the
man who had committed the assault.
Thinking perhaps that the young lady,
owing to her excitement at the time of
the assault was unable to properly iden-
tify the real criminal, it was decided to
give Peterson vigilaat committee trial,
during which he was asked to account
for himself during a period of a few days
before and after the day on which the
crime, was committed. He endeavored
to prove an alibi and was coroborated by
several Witnesses. A negro woman,
however, swore that she had seen him in
Denmark on the day Of the crime.
Among the cooler heads there seem
ed to be q doubt as to the negro's
guilt, and the day passed away quiet
", despite the great excitement that
prevailed. Sundown came and the quie-
tude that had prevailed proved to be but
the calm In advance Of the storm, and
before the general public was aware lit,
fifty resolute men had proceeded to the
Jail, battered down the door, dragged
forth the wretched negro, who fearfully
protested his innocence while the furious
mob howled vengeance around him.
The scene soon comes to close, and the
poor negre:s. body, riddled with bullets,
is left swinging from tho limb of tree.
It is true that the crime was heinous
one, richly deserving death, but the citi-
zens Of Denmark have brought another
stigma upon our State by their act. They
have acted two hastily, and such lawless-
ness is to be condemned. These lawless
lynchings must be stopped and the digni-
ty Of the courts and the majesty of the law
must be upheld. The prisoner in this
instance was in the hands of the officers
Of the law, and could have been given a
fair trial by the Court. If guilty, there
was no possible chance for him to have es-
capped punishment, and If he could not be
proven guilty he ought not to be punish
ed. Mob law Is never justifiable, and
the Denmark lynching is an outrage upon
iOstica

A Whopper.

While at Brookville last Friday we
heard the biggest snake prevarication,
to be told for the truth, that has been
given to the public for many-a-day. We
promised not to give any names, and
will keep our promise. The lady went
out on the porch, with broom in hand
to sweep, and there, coiled up glistening
In the sunlight, was large snake. She
struck 1t with her broom and it broke
into thousand pieces as II it was all
glass, and the head rolled off the porch.
In few minutes the pieces all came to-
gether again and the woman was so
dum-founded that she let the snake
crawl away. The lady says she was not
dreaming and was perfectly sane when
the above happened. The story comes
from a good class Of people, but we do
not try to palm it of ON our readers for
q true one.

Two young men drove over from
Punxsutawney ono day last week and
while In town went Into Hotel Bclnap.
There Is a closet between the bar-room
and billiard parlor, and one Of the
fellows stepped into II and fired n
revolver through the partition, but
fortunately there was no one injured
Before the smoke cleared away tho
fellow denied shooting and then after
wards said IL was an accident. The
twain got into their buggy and drove
up town, but soon returned. Burgess
Hays was notified and he searched tho
man who had done the shooting and
nary weapon did he find. Tho Bur-
CESS wanted to search the other chap,
but he refused TO allow any person TO
go through his pockets, and ono Of tho
hotel men held him and the Burgess
ransacked his pockets and found n
revolver. The Punxsutawneyitcs were
fined five dollars, the weapon was given
back and they were given few minutes
to "skip" the town.

A fellow who hailed from Craven
town lodged In the Reynoldsville
lookup Wednesday night. He had
filled up on "tangle foot and before he
got too 'beastly drunk' to even hold up
his head, he abused the livery horse he
was driving shamefully. The horse
was taken care Of at Tappers livery
stable while tho driver slept of the
effects Of the liquor on the soft side Of
the board hunks In tho cooler. Just
why the Burgess lot him go In the
morning without paying fine, we can
not account for. n the fellow abused
the horse, as IL Is reported he did, then
n fine Of not less than ton dollars should
have been imposed on him. A man who
will abuse dumb animal, DO he drunk
or sober, deserves punishment for IL.
