Five men, who were In Jail under the
charge Of burglary, were lynched,
this morning. Three hundred, men,
masked and on. horseback, rode into
the town at O'Clock and went to the
jail. The leaders presented revovers
and demanded the keys. but the jailer
refused, and thereupon the keys we're
taken by force. Without delay, the
mob rushed into the cells, and after
shooting down the five prisoners,
placed ropes around their necks and
dragged them out. The crowd pro-
ceeded to tree, one square away from
the jail, and Immediately strung up the
five wretches.
The men lynched are: Lyle Levi,
Henry Shuler, Clifford Gordon, Viii.
liam jenkins, jr., and Bert Andrews,
Andrews and Gordon had already been
wounded, baving been shot several
times while attempting to rob store
at Correct, last Saturday night. Shuler
was 10 jail for attempting burglary,
while Levi and jenkins had just been
indicted for robbery. Levi was an old
soldier, end bore on his face, Wounds
received while fighting for the union.
None OF the lynchers are known. as all
came from distance, presumably from
the neighborhood of Correct, where
two OF the men were arrested, Satur-
day night. The greatest excitement
prevails.

Osao,D, Ind, September 15.-Burl
Andrews and Clifford Gordon, on Sat-
urday night, attempted to rob the post
Office at Correct. They were sur
prised; and a fight ensued, but both
were arrested the following day. Lyle
Levi, Bill jenkins and Henry Shuler,
accomplices, had already been jailed
for burglary, and 1t is thought
all were members of gang
who had been systematically robbing
stores and residences IN various villages
OF Ripley, jennings and Dearborn
counties, for number OF years.
II is claimed that part of the mob
that did the lynchlng were from Milan
and Summan, aud it is asserted that
before the lvnching, members of the
mob patrolled all the houses in the vi
entity of the Jail, so as to- prevent In
reference. The members of the mob
wore masks, and various commands
were gwen in cipher, by numbers, sng
gesting foot ball.
Great crowds, in sympathy with the
relatives of the mob's victims, are re-
ported to be collecting at Versailles,
and further trouble Is expected.
It Is possible that last nights lynching
will be repeated tonight, except in
point Of numbers. Living in Osgood
are three or four men, supposed to be
members of the same gang, and a
rumor is now being quietly circulated
that they will be dealt with tonight.
Should the outraged citizens under
take it, there is nothing to restrain
them, as the action of last night is
rather applanded than deplored
Troops will not be asked for. The
enmity against the robbers is intense,
the people remembering how the gang
compelled aged women and men to
stand upon hot stoves, to force them to
disclose the hiding place of their
treasure.

Richmond, Va. May I.-(Special)-
Richmond won a victory from Norfolk
to-day. and that, too, after the Rrooms
had practically won the game. Timely
stick work, however, did the trick, and
Jake Wells was the man who set the
ball rolling.
Norfolk had scored three runs, and for
five innings the Bluebirds had scored
nothing but blanks. In the SIXTH how
ever. with two men out and a couple
on bases, Wells lined out a two-bagger
into right field, which sent the two
runners over the plate.
Kain followed him with double on
which Jake came home, tieing the score.
and In a short time Barley followed him
over the plate, giving Richmond the
lead, which she held to the finish Three
more runs were made in the eighth, but
they were really not needed.

A1cNnnnrn n wonder.

a letter from Manager w. a. Smith,
of the Norfolks. gives some Of the true
inwardness Of McNamara's ragged UNI
piring in Richmond. Referring TO
Thursdays game he says, in part:
No doubt you have seen what the
Richmond papers had TO say, and VIII
say the boys d.d kick because this man
Mcnamara started to give them every
thing, just as he did In Norfolk. We
would not stand it.. ! will tell you the
Gospel truth--he tried to give them
everything. and the sooner the Norfolk
directors protest against him the bet
ter. or take him away from Richmond.
1T is funny to read their papers. Weihl
was put out of the game because Wells
told Mcnamara to put him out. They
say I ran in from the field to kick That
is untrue. Every time we made n kick
we were on the bench. Mcnamara call
ed Gilroy out after he crossed the first
base. He called Heydon out once, al
though he never saw the play.
THE Richmond club kicked as well as
my club and Wells left ms position ms
many times as our boys Mcnamara
would not call him down
The Richmond papers come out and
say the people will not tolerate such
ball. They give us the mischief. The
way they talk here Mcnamara is a
wonder. You saw what he did IN Nor
folk. Draw your own conclusions"
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
(I3y Bat N. Ball)
The Richmond press, in spite Of iust-
fable though radical partisanry, seems
to have been duly impressed with the
powers Of the Brooms, and is pleaEingly
quick to give them their due, as the
following extracts will show.
From the Times:
"A close study Of the game will show
that the two teams are pretty evenly
matched as regards playing material,
and It Will be nip and tuck with them
during the season.

Cashier Joseph "A. Sticllney was struck

After killing Stickney, the murderels

the cash it contained with the exception
of five-dollar gold piece. AS near as
