Mob Dispersed.

linton, Mo-. Dec. ia mob APP
peared at the county Jail here Sunday
night and demanded to be admitted to
the cell of Isam Vaughan, who is
charged with having murdered his
aunt, Mrs. Nancy Birdson, who reared
him. Sheriff Born, fearing mob vio-
lence, had previously taken Vaughan
to Jefferson City, and when he assured
his visitors that Vaughan was not in
the Jail, the mob dispersed. Mrs. Bird
son was murdered Friday evening at
her home, four miles south of here, be-
ing shot to death while standing in her
door yard. Robbery is supposed to
have been the motive. Vaughan was
arrested on information furnished by
his wife and her father, named Will
liams. They stated that Vaughan left
home early Friday evening, taking hi!
gun and stating that he was going
turkey hunting. He did not return I'M
til 1 o'clock in the morning Hi
clothing and gun were found to b.
blood-stained, and it is now Learned

Supposed to bo Norwood.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 15.-Coroner
Parker, of Columbia, Mo-, is convinced
that the man who fell from Katy
train near that place last Thursday
and was killed, was W. B. Norwood, Of
Nobility, Tex. He received yesterday
a detailed description of her missing
husband from Mrs. Norwood. and it
fits the corpse exactly. Mrs. Norwood
is expected to arrive to-day to verify
the Identification. The dead man was
undoubtedly thrown from the train by
a sudden lurch as he was passing from
one car to another, although several
passengers made suicide stories OF the
accident. He had s2975 in currency
with him-s240O in small grip and
the rest in his pockets. There was
nothing on his person to identify him
and the only clew was his ticket, which
read from Denison, Tex, to Chicago
He lived several hours after his 1al
