Negro Fiend Burned.
THE WHITE VICTIM FOUND TIED
TO A TREE.
The Woman Herself Lights the Fire
and While Writing the Negro
COnfesses Murder and
Depravlty.

BARBoURsvILLE, KY, March q
From Harlan County there comes
a reliable story detailing the terrible
torture which Len Tye, a negro,
was compelled to suffer for his in
human crime.
Len Tye is the brute who about
a year ago murdered a Miss Bryant
on the railroad between Jellico and
Williamsburg, and for which he
was hanged only for the purpose Of
making him confess. He did moi
confess at the time, however, and
was allowed to go and little has
been heard of him since.
Tye went to Harlan County some
time since and kidnapped a young
girl, a farmers daughter, and had
kept her secreted for a long time
until a party of hunters found hel
in the woods tied to a tree. They
laid iii wait for the fiend and were
soon rewarded by his appearance.
when they tied him and proceeded
to skin him alive and before he was
dead his victim built a fire on his
head and thus he was nearly roast
ed while his skin was being peeled
from his body.
Tye confessed the murder of Miss
Bryant and to having taken three
other girls in Kentucky and kept
them in the same way he did the
Harlan County girl.

w. 7. Darlington.

We clip the following from an ac-
count of Prof. W. 7. Carrington's
address before the Teachers 1nsti-
tute in Brunswick, Mo-, published
in the Brunswick (Mo.) Bruins
wicker:
In the afternoon before taking a
short recess, one of the teachers in
vited the visitors to remain for the
evening and "hear the address OF
Prof. w. 7. Darlington of Mexico,
our future State Superintendent OF
Schools" and the applause this ex.
preston received proved very con-
cIusively that Prof. Darlington will
be hat officer If the teachers Of
Charlton county r given their
choice. During the reces period il
was discovered that Mr.. Darlington
was in the house, and never was the
hand of a candidate for public office
more eagerly and warmly grasped
than was that of Mr.. Darlington. l,
seemed that the entire institute
wanted to shake hands with the mar
to whom they expected to look for g
gradual but sure reformation in the
public school system OF Missouri
At s O'Clock in the evening he ad.
dressed a very large audience at the
city hall. His address was short
but good. 1t was sensible. Il
showed that it came from a man who
was not filled with wild ideas, bu'
that he was one who works thought
fully and with dignity. He is not
man who wants to Cypress the
teachers and yet he does not want tt
lessen their responsibility. He is il
favor of giving the county commits
sioner more work and digni
| ty to that office.
At the close of the institute one o
the most prominent citizens of The
town and a member of the schoo
board, came forward and offered A.;
resolution to the effect that it is tn,
wish of the people of Charlton coun
ty that Wolfe be defeated for State
Superintendent of Public Schools
This resolution was adopted receiv
ing little opposition.
