THREE MEN LYNCHED
They Are Taken From a Kan
sas Jail.
HANGED TO A RAILROAD BRIDGE

The Mob Broke the Locks From the
without the Least Hinderance--They
Were Charged with Numbering Fred
Dining.
RUSSELL. Jan. 16-A mob of about
20 men entered the jail Saturday night,
took out j G.. Burton, William Gay
and his son, John Gay, and hung the
trio to a small railroad bridge short
distance east of the depot in this city.
About midnight the residents of the
north part of town heard a party Of 10
or 20 horseElen come III from the north
who left their horses Ut the stockyards
where pl4ns were arranged and the
mob proceeds to the Jail. A few citi-
zens who happened to be out late
noticed the suspicious actions of the
mob, but were powerless to thwart the
purpose of such determined band of
armed men and watched the proceed
ings from safe distance. No officers
were aroused or even We're aware Of
what was going ON until early Sun
day morning, so quiet were the ac-
tions of the mob. Orders were given
by signs and obeyed without word
being spoken.
The jail is small wooden building
surrounded b. an 6-foot board fence
In the jail were two steel cages, in
which the prisoners were confined.
Guards We're placed about the Jail and
it was but the work of moment for
the balance of the mob to gain an en-
trance to the Jail building. The masked
mob began TO break off the locks of the
jail with sledge hammers. The three
men were taken to the bridge. Ropes
were placed around their necks and
each given a chance to speak.
The leader then clapped his hands
three times and as quick as fash all
three We're pushed off the bridge. The
Gays evidently died from strangula-
ton, but the moose on Burton's neck
slipped around up over his chin and he
was heard to breathe heavily for a mo-
ment, when several shots were fred
into his body. Each of the others also
had a bullet sent into him. The mob
then left as quietly as it came, going
north. The presumption is that the
persons We're from the northern part of
the county, he home of the criminals
and the scene of the murder.
The crime for which the men were
lynched was the killing of Fred Din
ming in July last On the Burton place.
about go miles northeast of this city.
Inquiries regarding draft payable to
Dining and his mysterious disappear
anee led to an investigation and the ar
rest of Burton, who implicated the
other two men. Each made confess
sion which led to the finding of Din
ning's body buried in field near the
scene OF the murder.

THERE is some talk of Mr. Clifton
Breckinl.inridg entering the race for
the United States Senate. We hope
It is not true, for MIR. Breckinride is
one OF the most conspicuous figures
in the lower house and he ought to
remain there. He would adorn the
Senate as well and Arkansas would
have cause to he proud OF him, but
it is not his year to aspire for Sen
atorial honors. Senator Berry is
good enough for the giant young
commonwealth Helena World.
Mr. Breckenridge is the most con
spieuous and distinguished servant
Arkansas has in either branch OF the
Federal Congress. In sending him
to the Senate the State of Arkansas
would do herself proud and reflect
great credit upon herself. And
there are large number of citizens
of Arkansas who entertain the same
opinion.

There is no International agreement
which fixes a standard ratio for the
two metals, or ENSURES the mainte-

the maintenance of a parity OF the
two metals and the equal power of

Until these conditions exist the 18th
section of the Democratic platform
cannot be construed as a free coin

effort was made by delegate in the
convention, Mr.. Patterson. of Col

DEAR SIR-Is the 18th section of the

that for the Government to coin
silver and gold without charge for

MINISTER'S OPPOSED.
They Will Not Preach a Sermon Equal
Suffrage

They Will Not Preach Sermon ON Equal
Suffrage.
The Ministerial Union met in regular
session this morning at the Young Mems
Christian association rooms.
Rev. b. /. Smith acted as president
pro. tenn. until Rev. A. S. Embree ar
rived.
Rev. Richard Wake led in the reading
of the scripture, and had only been
seated about five minutes, during which
the minutes of the previous meeting
were read, when he was again on his feet
He said that as he was the official re<
porter for the union. ne wanted to know
his duties. He wanted to know what
right the newspapers had to send re-
porter to the meeting.
The STATE JOURNAL reporter WAS the
only reporter present
Rev. b. L. Smith said:
EsThe STATE JOURNAL is the only paper
that has the enterprise to send reporter.
The reporter asked to be admitted, and
that was granted"
The reporter, rather than be the cause
of wrangling, withdrew to await the ac-
tion of the union in the matter. After
short discussion it was decided to sex
clude representatives of newspapers"
Rev. Richard Wake is now retired
Methodist preacher. His last charge
was at the Oakland Methodist church.
1t appears that ne is allowed to override
the better judgment of the other minis
ters in the union who are nearly all in
favor of reporters attending the meet
ing, provided such matters as the pastors
do not regard as suitable for publication
are not published. Besides If Mr.'Wake
is the "official reporter" why doesn't he
furnish the JOURNAL a reportr As 1t Is,
he never supplies line to this paper.
The committee of ladies from the To-
peka Equal Suffrage association was
present at the meeting today, and Mrs.
L. O. Case acted as spokeswoman.
She made an interesting talk, pointing
out the advantages of woman suffrage,
and finally concluding with an appeal
that the ministers preach one sermon
between now and the election next No
vember.
A very general discussion ensued, in
which nearly all the ministers took part.
Most all the coiored preachers were in
favor of granting it, but Rev. A. s. Elm
bree of the First Methodist church was
against it.
He said: "If the union votes to recon-
mend that its members preach one ser
mon between now and election on woman
suffrage, Tll withdraw from this union"
The following resolution was adopted,
but not unanimously, for Kew. Mr.. En-
bree opposed it strongly:
Resolved, That we express our appre
citation of the visit of the ladies, and as
sure them our hearty sympathy with the
cause they represent.
Rev. Mr.. Embree wanted the "hearty
appreciation" clause struck out, but the
resolution was passed Ike ladies were
treated very courteously by the union,
but their appeal for a sermon was firmly
refused
The committee consisted of Mrs. L. O.
Case, Mrs. Thos S. Lyon, DIR. Eva Hard
ing, Mrs Wardall, Miss Carrie Morgan,
Miss Robinson, Mrs. Bina A. Otis and
Mrs. w, I'll. McCarter.

And No State Troops to Suppress
1t With.

COLUMBIA, s. C., April 2.-Col. Nixon
has been placed in command of the
forces left in the city and those which
may arrive hereafter. Last evening two
more companies of cavalry on foot armed
with carbines arrived on the southbound
road They took the train at Fairfax
No further trouble is anticipated here
The Newberry rifles are still at the Ho-
tel Jerome. All soldiers are quartered at
the state prison. Gov. Tillman has re-
turned to the mansion.
s General Richburg, who is at Darling
ton, has been ordered to place the West
ern Union telegraph Office at that place
under military control, and have inspec-
tors examine all messages offered for
transmission and received from other
places.
The nine spies who escaped out Of the
swamp near Darlington arrived at Char
lesion last night at 1 1 p. M Information
received here is to effect that the mill
tary now at Darlington have fraternized
with the citizens.
Newberry Rifles DIsband.
The Newberry rifles, which has been
guarding the state house and acting as
censors of all dispatches at the telegraph
office, notified Governor Tillman today
that they had resigned and their arms
were at his disposal.
They stated in their letters that they
came here under the belief that they
were needed for the purpose Of
protecting life and property
and not for the purpose of
exercising a scrutiny over the private
affairs of the citizens of South Carolina,
a duty not only distasteful, but in the
judgment of the company unnecessary
and calculated to irritate the people all
the more under the present state Of af-
fairs, and that they did not care to be
subject to such orders in the future.
Gov. Tillman accordingly notified the
company to turn over their arms 10 the
state, and has placed other soldiers ia
charge of that office.
The Const,ble+ at l. axe City.
The nine constables who escaped 20
Charleston worked their way through
the woods TO Lake City. They fouuI
sympathizers on the way, the section be-
ing a Tillman stronghold. They are
said to have put themselves under filc
sheriffs protection. The sheriff sent
messengers out in every direction and
soon had a crowd of 100 strongly armed
men to help protect the fugitive consta-
bles.
The Tillmanites allowed no messages
to be send by telegraph and people out
side of the town knew nothing of what
was going on: the surrounding towns
and country were kept in ignorance Of
the situation until the men were safely
on board the train.
Governor Tillman today pronounced the
Columbia dispatch printed in Sundays
edition of a northern paper over his sig
nature, in which he was reported as dis
avowing responsibility for the dispens ary
act as "a forgery" The governor adds
that he has not denied responsibility for
the dispensary law and says he urged its
enactment, believing it to be the best
solution of the whisky question.
