THE TYRANT LOVE.
Written for The CoURIER.l

Oh think to fetter with rope Of sand
The river deep and turn it from its way;
Or bid the fiery monarch Of the day
Unmoved to hang at motion Of thy hand;
Bind down the blazing fagots with band
OF braided fax and think the flames to stay;
Seek thy consuming hunger to allay
With stones and pebbles from the barren strand;
But never hope the subtle chain to break
Which love has welded close around thy heart,
By any effort that thy will can make,
By any firm resolve, by any art
The mortal mind can frame. Life may forsake
But love, the tyrant. never will depart

charged with the murder. was arrested, tried,
and convicted of the crime, and was sentenced
To be hanged. The attempt Ia carry out the

Thousands were present when the Sheriff
prepared Ia obey the mandate "t the Court.
When everything was ready the Sheriff sprung
the trap and Purvis shot down. The rope
broke. and PurviS fell to The ground. He
was picked up unconscious. and WAS carried
back to the platform for another attempt.
This however. evoked loud murmurs OF pro-
test from the spectators. many OF whom look
ed upon the accident as Divine intervention.
Amid PRAYERS tears, and cntreatieS, reen-
forced with an eloquent appeal by minister.
the Sheriff was induced to fOregO any further
attempt at hanging Purvis until the case
should be reviewed. and Purvis was returned
to jail.
The sheriff appealed to Gov. Stone for
orders as to what he should do. He was told
by the Governor to hang Purvis Purvis de-
Iayed the execution by an Injunction, and the
case was carried to the Supreme Court. On
last Monday that court affirmed the previous
sentence. declared that the failure of the
Sheriff to execute it did not release Purvis,
and fixed the second hanging for December
u. A petition for Il Communication of the
sentence to Imprisonment was signed gener-
ally. but Purvis's friends were unwilling to
take any chances At an early hour this
morning, armed with Winchester rifles. they
went to the rescue.
1t was about midnight when the mob rode
into town, every man carrying pistols in addi-
ton to his rife. They made their way to the
jail and surrounded it. There were several
men guarding the Jail. but they were power
less to keep the prisoner from his friends
While the guards were held at bay and pre-
vented from giving an alarm, the mob broke
down the barred doors and entered the prison.
They made their way straight to the cell Oc-
cupied by the condemned man and opened
the door of his cage with keys. He was hur-
ried out of the prison and into buggy. He
was taken out of town in five minutes and the
mob remained behind To see that no attempt
was made to recapture the young man. The
crowd did not go until two hours later.
