She was q charming young
widow and she occupied a section
on the Pullman sleeper between
Denver and San Francisco.
The train was crowded and the
attention of the passengers wa.
dsvided;between tn swinseme widow
and the young bridal couple from
the East, who, careless of the com.
ment their actions excited, con-
tinued to love each other with
caressing words and eyes to their
hearts content.
The through passengers had
become like friends, and the
long days during which the train
rushed over rolling prairie and
desolate alkali wastes were made
short by pleasant converse.
1t was one night when they
were descending the western slope
of the great Rockies that the in
cident occurred which makes this

T Several card tables had been
established, land at one of them
the bridal couple played, as part.
nels against the pretty widow and
q handsome young. man from
Jacksonville, Fla, who was ..on hia
way to Southern California.
The game had ended and the
young married couple were
victorious. They were. indulging
in a ood-humored badinage at the
expense of their late opponents
and asked if there were any othe,
games they were more familiar
with than whist.
aNever mind," said the little
widow, "luck won't run your way
always"
Seemingly in answer to hel
prophecy came the stern command

the car stood two masked des
peradoes with drawn revolvers.
The male passengers were taker
by surprise and there was nothing
to do but obey.
Slowly the robbers went through

revolver covering his victim th,
other secured his valuables.
When they came to the brida
couple they made rich haul

confscated, but politely handed

COLUMBIA, s. O., July so.-A
lynching occurred at CASTOR to-
day.. The FIRST tosswing was Will
Thompson, a negro 16 years old,
who committed an assault upon
Mrs. Archie sightler, of CASTOR,
He was captured near Columbia
and was taken TO Castor early
this morning. A special train
over the South Bound took
seyenty-fye people from Columbia
who joined the people of the
neighborhood, but they took no
active part.
Thompson was subject to
horrible torture by the crowd
before he was hung. Man cooked
their guns and pistols and put
them in his face, but he did not
show fear until the crowd wanted
to burn him. He asked them for
Gods sake to do anything else
but that. .and some cool heads
prevented snch a horrible tragedy.
he was taken down the railroad
to e small tree just on the embank-
ment. Mr.. sightler, the husband OF
the outraged woman, took a heavy
buggy trace and beat his neck
and prevented him from yelling.
Fifty heavy lashes were laid on,
each one drawing blood. sightler
then kicked him in the head and
face, knocking out his teeth and
one eye ball.
"A platform of crossties was
made'and Thompson was placed
upon it. A rope was put around
his neck, iand he confessed the
crime, duplicating two other ne
groes named Preston and Kainler.
The platform was knocked out
tie by tie, and the poor wretch
was slowly strangled. He was
allowed to suffer two minutes,
when hundreds of buckshot rid
led his body. One shot cut the
rope and the body fell. but was
strung up again, and the crowd
fred hundreds of other shots in
the l1feless body.
The crowd then went on a search
for Preston, who was captured
about II o'clock. He was sub
iected to the same treatment, if
not worse. He denied his guilt to
the last,b he was strungup on the
limb upon which Thompson's
body was hanging He was af-
Aicted with q. filthy disease, which
caused the erowd.-to. be more

Congress meets in special session
on next Monday, and we shall soon
soc what we shall see. The big
matter to be first settled at this
special session is the silver ques-
ton. The advocates of the gold
standard may think the silver ad-
vocates fools, but it is sometimes
better to pleasure a fool than to be
plagued with him, and if there
ever was a time when this adage
was true it is just at this juno
ture. We do not admit that the
silver advocates are fools for we
are one of them, but the free coin
age of silver would be less evil,
even from the standpoint of the
monometalist, than free damnation
all over the West and South.
