HE GOT OFF THE ROAD.

So much stealing of live stock as has taken place lately, naturally causes one to grow reminiscent if he knows person ally of any parallel cases. A noted stockman of this place told your cores pondent an incident that happened some years ago, which illustrates the ease with which a thief sometimes escapes with his booty. A man stole yoke of oxen from Lyndson Beardsley of Step ney, and as he was unacquainted with the country he came through Halter town instead of going toward Bridge port, as he desired. Farman Peck, then living here, heard noise in the night and getting up to learn the cause, saw him passing with the oxen. Some time later he heard something again, and ap- on looking out, To. there was the man passing the house again. He had got off his road again and got around to the point whence he came once more. Final ly he got on the right road and went to Bridgeport and sold the oxen there. Stepney is three miles from here, so it must have been nearly or quite daylight when he passed through there going down. but DO one seemed to notice any thing wrong.
 Last Saturday night about 10 o'clock, two young men with fine appearing horse and carriage, dashed through here at breakneck pace and continually urg- ing their horse to faster speed. It is the opinion of those who heard them that they had stolen the team somewhere north of here and were getting out of what might prove a dangerous section as expeditiously as possible.
 Peter Behn of Dodgingtown had his horse stolen, last week, but it was found in the Guinea woods, a short distance below here, tied to tree only short distance from the road. The thief prob- ably intended to wait until night and then escape under cover of the darkness.

 impossible to tell the reproduced photo graph from the original.

 week. It ran to Stepney Depot, seven miles below here, before it was stopped. Richard Patchen moved here from
 Waterbury, last week.

LYNCHED BY A MOB.
John Turley Taken from Jail and
Hung for Murder.

BEDFORD, Ind, May Ij.-At 2:1O
o'clock this morning a mob of a
hundred men appeared before the
Jail here and forced the sheriff to
give up the keys and took John
Turley, who murdered Conductor
Price, of the Ohio and Missis-
sippi road, at Seymour, from
his cell and hanged him in
the Jail yard. Turley begged
for his life, but his appeals were
met with silence. The lynching
was conducted in most orderly
manner, Turkeys cries being the
only sound heard. After the lynch
ing of their man, the mob request
ed that the body be not taken
down until day light, after
which they dispersed. The mob
hanged Turley to the tree in the
Jail yard, within l. feet of the rail-
road track, so that all passing
trains this morning can see his
body. He was dressed as though
he had been expecting them.
They completed the job at 300
o'clock. There were forty-three
men at the jail, masked and
about fifty or sixty standing guard
at different points over the city.
The assassination of Price was as
cOwardly as it was brutal. 1t
seems that Turley rendered an old
pass when asked for his fare which
the conductor refused. After an
alteration, Turkeys father, 4
wealthy stock dealer of Lawrence
county, paid his fare for him. Price
then left and was standing in the
door with his back toward Turley,
who was closely following him,
when the latter fired twice,
each bullet piercing the kidney
and passing forward and out
through the stomach of his vic
tim. Price fingered a few hours
retaining consciousness only with
in a few moments of his death.
Following the arrival Of the muir
drrer at Bedford, there was a most
intense excitement

NEW YORK, May l5.-The new
American Theatre, reaching from
FOrty-first to Forty-secOnd on
Eighth avenue, is to be opened to-
night with production of the
English play, "The Prodigal

About Quarantine.

WASHINGTON, May l5.-An eff
fort is being made to secure the
permanent relaxation of the quar-
antine regulations at the port of
New Orleans against British Hon
duras. The colonial guardian of
the Belize claims that the sanitary
condition of that place has been
so much improved that the en-
forcement of the rigid quarantine
by New Orleans to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of yellow fever, is no
longer necessary. The guardian
urges that strict quarantine
against yellow fever ports be
maintained by Belize, as one of
the strongest inducements to New
Orleans to except the British Hon
duras from the present restric-
tiOnS.

The Brooklyn Handicap.

NEW YORK, May lj.-The Brook
Ign Handicap will be run today.
Before the sun has set 10000 peo-
pie will have shouted themselves
hOarSc over the animal whose
speed and endurance will land
him winner at the GraVesend
track. 1t will be the opening
event of the greatest racing season
America has ever known; a season
in which more twO-year OldS will
make records for themselves and
money for their owners than ever
before; a season in which the
hopes of many a new horse owner
will be shattered. The race means
$4,000 clear money to the winner.
The Brooklyn Handicapis race
for three-year-olds and upward;
$500 each, half forfeit, or $50 if de-
clared; the club to add an amount
necessary to make the value of the
stakes $4,000, of which the second
horse shall receive $1,000, and the
third $1,000.
The raising of the entrance fee
has served this year to reduce the
number Of entries far below that Of
former years, but what is lacking
in quantity is made up in quality.
The closing of the city pool
rooms did away with any future
betting in this city, but in Chicago,
where one was opened, there has
been quite considerable betting,
with Lamplighter the favOrite.
Should he start he will no doubt
be the favorite at post time, yet
with such a field as he will have to
beat, liberal price is sure to be
offered.
