DASHED TO DEATH.

reached the surface the engineer did not

derrick. The coupling broke loose and
the cage with its doomed burden
went back with crash to the bottom
of the shaft. There is no way of reach.
ing the bottom nor of getting the dead
men out except by going through an.

necessary to hoist them $50 feet by
ropes to reach the level of the next
shaft, then carry them nearly mile

LYNCHED.
4 Mob Takes Murderer from the jail
at Bedford, Ind, and Hangs Him.


SEYMOUR, Ind, May 15.-About
o'clock Saturday afternoon Conductor
Louis f. Price, of Seymour, who had
just left Mitchell in charge of the east
bound local Ohio & Mississippi freight
train, was shot twice and killed by
a young Lawrence county ruffian.
John Turley. Conductor Price was
collecting fares, and when he APP
preached Turley the latter refused to
give ticket or pay his fare to his des-
tination. The conductor insisted and
Turley shot him dead. Mr.. Price was
about 2S years old and had been en-
ployed on the Ohio & Mississippi road
for many years. Turley was arrested
and placed in Jail at Bedford.
Sunday night at 9 o'clock about 200
men heavily armed and masked sur
rounded an engine that was ready to
start for Westport on the Evansville Sc
Richmond road. Two of the men with
drawn revolvers jumped in the gang
way of the engine, and pointing their re-
volvers into the faces of the engineer
and fireman forced them to dismount.
The engine was backed into a side track
and three flats We're attached. The
crowd had an engineer and fireman and
in few minutes the cars were loaded
with men and the train pulled out for
Bedford, determined to lynch Turley.
BEDFORD, Ind, May To-, 8. mat 2:10
o'clock a. m. a mob of 100 men appeared
before the Jail here, forced the sheriff
to give up the keys and took John Tur-
ley, who murdered Conductor L. F..
Price at Seymour, from his cell and
hanged him in the Jail yard.
Turley begged for his life, but his ap-
peals were met with silence. The
lynching was conducted in the most or
derly manner, Turley's cries being the
only sound heard. After lynching their
man the mob requested that the body
be not taken down until daylight, after
which it dispersed.
The mob hanged Turley to tree in
the Jail yard within IL feet of the rail-
road track so that all passing trains
can see his body. He was dressed as
though he had been expecting them.
They completed the job at $50 o'clock.
There We're forty three men at the
Jail masked and about fifty or sixty
standing guard at different points over
the city.

FLOODS MANY PARISHES.
New Crevasse In Arkansas Levee Threat
ems Loss OF 100000 Bales of Cotton.

ems Loss OF 100000 Bales OF Cotton.
VICKsBURGH, Miss, May 15.-Rumors
of a second ere, asse in Arkansas occur
ring at Brooks mill, the scene of a
great crevasse last year, are con.
tirmed. The break is in new and
large levee. 1t was so feet wide this
morning and cannot be closed. This,
with the waters of Lakeport crevasse,
will carry destruction into the Texas
basin, an immense alluvial region
drained by Bayou Macon and by the
Boeuf and Tensas rivers, besides other
parallel streams. The destruction OF
crops in eight or nine parishes will be
enormous. At least 100000 bales OF
cotton will be cut off from the year g
crop. This district made no crop last
year, owing to a similar disaster. There
is little hope that the water will pass
off in time to replant this season. The
water will also do much damage
in its immediate vicinity both
in Louisiana and Arkansas. There
We're many who thought the first
crevasse would not seriously affect the
