jail-breaking was frustrated to-day, and
as a result all the inmates of the County
Jail are locked In their cells and carefully

train-wrecking seem to be implicated in
the attempt. In fact. one of them, Apple

first clue. He reported several days ago
that his case-knlf was missing, and the
Sheriff Immediately gave notice that un-
less the knile was produced all the pris-
oners would be locked in their cells and
not allowed to exercise in the corridor.

the slop-bucket of VIM. Glowworm. who

LEXINGTON, Oct. 14.-Another lynch
ing has been added to the usually large
fall series of Blue Grass lynching bees.
Yesterday, at the close of the Beattyville
Fair, Oscar Morton, prominent citizen
of Morton, in Powell County, went on
the warpath. Two weeks ago Morton
killed man at Stanton, and was out on
$50 bonds. He arrived at the fair yester-
day, and Immediately proceeded to get
drunk. When thoroughly intoxicated he
start to hunt for Sheriff Simms, who is
his deadly enemy. Simms and Morton
met near the entrance to the fair grounds,
and after few words both of them drew
guns. a quick exchange Of shots fol-
lowed, Morton using two guns. His first
shot broke the Sheritf's right arm at the
elbow. John Hogg, a friend of Simms
whipped out his gun and Joined in the
battle. When the smoke had cleared
away it was found that Sheriff Simms
was dead. Morton was shot through the
neck, while Hogg was unhurt.
Morton was hustled to the County Jail
and placed under guard. The people be-
came infuriated and a meeting was at
once held in the big square. Speeches
were made by prominent citizens advo-
eating the death of the guilty person.
The Jailer was overpowered and the
keys to Morton's cell obtained. He was
found crouched OH the floor, and after a
bitter struggle was seized and dragged
out. Seeing his game was up, Morton
made the best Of the thing and told the
mob he did not care what they did with
him. provided they did their work
quickly.
After a short parley he was taken to a
little bridge some distance from town and
the rope placed around his neck. He was
then forced to jump. Turning around.
the doomed man cursed his captors, and,
utLering wild imprecations, leaped into
space. The jump broke his neck. After
dangling in the air for some minutes his
body became stiff and a volley of bullets
was fired into it. The mob then dis
persed, leaving the body dangling from
the bridge. At noon to-day it was still
there. None of the mob made any at
tempt to conceal their identity, and the
hanging was conducted with as much
torrnality as iii had been a legal affair.
The murderer was wealthy man, who
lived al Stanton.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE Virginia
Jockey Club will, on next Thursday,

The old State track path was half
mile, owned by some Virginia gentle
men, and was used formerly as a speed
track. The new track is carefully con-
structed. Not single knoll obstructs
the view from the grand stand, and
spectators will be able to see the horses
from start to finish. The grand stand is
entirely new, and is one of the hand
soonest in the metropolitan district. 1t
will seat 1900 people. There is a sug-
gestion of the Monmouth Park grand
stand in the tier OF seats which look down
upon the field. Across from the grand
stand, nesting under the beautiful Vir-
ginia Hills, is village of stables, 5I2 in
number.
Stall-room has already been engaged
by L. Jennings, the Keenes, NJ. f..

Quantico's Train Robbery.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Not shadow
OF a tangible clew to the identity
OF the men who accomplished the
notable feat of train brigandage in
Virginia Friday night, in which per-
haps $780, 900 was taken, have yet come to
light. The little town of Quantico, al
most isolated from civilization, is over
run with detectives. There are almost as
many theories as there are detectives.
But the only points OH which the theories
are practically harmonious are that the
robbery was carefully planned and
executed by experienced professionals.
The man arrested on suspicion last night
will be arraigned in the Police Court on a
charge OF vagrancy, as no one appeared
against him.
