PATcHEN THE KING OF PAGERS
HE BEATS ROBERT }. IN a GREAT
FOUR HEAT RACE.

The Second Heat Won by Nose I'm n
2:O4it-The Last Two Heats a Tribe
Easier for the Black stallion, But
Each Won by the Black stallion By
Less Than "A Length.
Cleveland. o.. Aug. 1.-Robert J.. the
king Of the turf. IS king no longer. The
honor was wrested from him by that game
black stallion. Joe Patchen. in the most
exciting speed contest ever seen on a
grand circuit track. II has been known
since last season that Joe Patchen was a
great race horse. but even his warmest
admirers did not believe that he was
speedy enough TO defeat the phenomenal
Robert J. In the auction pools Robert J.
sold for SIS and the field for $. In the
books. the Hamlin world-beater was
barred. He was supposed to have a cinch
on the race and most OF the betting was
on Joe Patchen for a place. After the
first heat 81 on the field brought SO on
Robert J.
The second heat was the beginning of the
surprise that was to follow. The favorite
and his rival came into the stretch neck
and neck after having paced the middle
half in one minute. Jack Curry. who was
driving Patchen, seemed to push the black
whirlwind under the wire, and he won
by the shortest kind of a nose, in 2:0i4.
The last two heats We're trifie easier for
the black stallion. although he won by
less than a length each time. 1t was the
fastest four-heat race ever paced. and the
last heat in 2:054 was the fastest fourth
heat ever paced.

A HANGING Ar LIVE OAK.
The Second of the Ryeburg Murder
ers on the GaIIOws.

Live Oak, Fla, Aug. lon the same gal
lows from which Henry Brown was hang
ed on July Il. George Mitchell "a second of
the Ryeburg murderers, was executed to-
day. The execution was public, about
1000 spectators being present. Mitchell
was brought out at IL a. m, and after a
religious service, he spent over an hour
in a religious talk. protesting his limo
cence. Mitchell did not have a bad face
and some Of the spectators think he may
have been innocent. He died without a
struggle.
For many weeks this county has been
on the verge of a lynching. owing to the
general impression that the execution. OF
Brown, Mitchell and Stevens, the MUIR
derers of Alfred Ryeburg, would not take
place, This impression was probably deep
er-seated because the evidence against
these negroes was circumstantia and ow-
ing to the frequent long delays and COM
mutations that serve to defeat justice.
But the evidence, though circumstantial
was strong. Ryeburg in his dying state
ment said that the three train hands in
flicted the wounds from which he was
dying, and Ryeburg had been on this
train, which was a freight train for sew
eral hours and had every opportunity to
know the train hands and undoubtedly
did know them. He said positively there
were three negroes and all the evidence
proved that these were the only three
negroes on board
Subsequently Brown acknowledged his
guilt and Stevens said Brown and Nit
chell did the killing, while he stood by
and saw il done.
So when Brown, in his talk on the gall
lows, said he alone killed Ryeburg, every
body believed Brown died WITH a lie in his
p1n a nd - 81 y y
made several contradictory afhdavits pre-
viously.
Mitchell was a young negro, yet in his
EOS; he claimed to be a member of a
Baptist church at Thomaz-ille, Ca, anu
that he had been a Christian ever since
he joined the church.
Rev. George p. Mckinney was his spirit
ual adviser and gave him constant alien.
ton till the execution.
There is no further fear of a lynching.
as everybody believes that Stevens, the
third man, will hang soon.
