THIRTY MEN KILLED.
North Carolina Lynchers Bat
tie With the Sheriff.
Three Murderers Executed, But After
Savage Fighting ut Bakersville.

BAKERsvrrLE, y. c., JAM last night
smob of 500 masked men entered the Jail
here, took out Calvin Snipes. murderer,
TO forest half a mile away and lynched
him. Ten of the sheriH's posse were killed
in their efforts to defend the prisoner
More than dozen of the mob were killed.
Among the dead and wounded were some
of the most prominent men in the county.
JoHssoS CITY, Tenn, Jan. 4.-The facts
which led up to the terrible lynching af-
fray at BakersvilIe, N. c., are as follows:
Aaron Wiseman and Calvin Snipes were
partners in an Illicit distillery in Mitchell
county. n. c.. and they told William Os-
borne and Isaac Osborne, two brothers,
where the distillery was situated. Will
lam Osborne reported to the officials and
helped them to destroy it. Wiseman and
snipes suspected Isaac Osborne as the re-
porter, and on the night of August q. 1892,
armed with Winchesters, they went to
Isaac Osborne, and, calling him to the
door opened fire, almost Kidding him with
bullets. Wiseman and Snipes were ar
rested, but sufficient evidence could not be
obtained against Wiseman and he was re-
leased. Snipes was bound over to the su-
perior court on circumstantial evidence.
He was placed in jail. and after being con-
fined about two weeks confessed to the
killing in the manner above related.
For several days the sheriff had kept
fully informed, and he selected twenty
of the most determined men in the county
to assist him in guarding the prisoner in
his charge. The small party attempted
to storm the Jail on Monday night, but
they were easily beaten back by the sher-
ifs posse. Osborne redoubled his efforts
on Tuesday, and by couriers sue
ceeded in getting a mob of nearly 400
men together near Little City. The sher-
if, knowing what was coming, doubled the
number of guards, saw that their arms
were in perfect order and took every pre-
caution to beat off the attack. 1t was after
midnight when the mob was ready to move
upon the Jail. Firing commenced soon after
and pitched battle followed Immediately
between the mob and deputies. Almost at
the first volIey William Osborne, who led
the attack. was killed. In a few minutes
John Osborne also fell dead. The battle
ragged until nearly half the number of
deputies had fallen dead and
several others were badly wounded.
Then the mob, with q yell and a
triumph, entered the Jail, battered
down the cell door and led the
unhappy Snipes away to his doom.
! He was given no chance to say q word,
but was riddled with bullets. The follow
ing members of the sherIf's posse were

Things are coming to point where every
man who puts pick in the earth il warranted
in holding his breath with hopeful anticipation
There is no telling what he may strike He
may think he is digging well, and find to his
amazement that he is the proud possessor of q
stream Of Natural gas; he may set out for a
post hole and arrive at virgin gold. The only
possible ground Of complaint lies in the fact
that the digger always finds something en-
tirely different from what he first desired.
There Is, however, no occasion for the pub
lie to waste sympathy on him. as the unex-
pected find is invariably great deal more
valuable than what he originally sought. Thus
it was recently with the men in Danville,
Conn.,. who started q cellar and blasted out a
vein Of coal There is every indication that
Danville has an abundant fuel supply right in
the heart Of the city. To be sure, the fact that
coal found elsewhere in Connections proved to
be inferior in quality detracts somewhat from
the brilliancy Of the find; but these discoveries
can have the satisfaction Of knowing that they
have not. as most men have under similar cir
cumstances, been obliged to sacrifice their
original intentions to the accidental discovery.
They will have both the cellar and the coal.
