SYMPATHY WITH LYSCHERs.
Noteworthy Case to Come Before a
Nevada Grand Jury.


Nevada Grand Jury.
Carson, Nev., Dec. 2O.-The grand jury
at Genoa, six miles from here, will in
vestigate the lynching OF Adam Cber
on December Z by a mob of masked men,
friends of Hans Anderson, whom Uber
killed in bar-room quarrel.
1t is not expected that anyone will be
indicted because of the eXtraordinary y
sympathy with the lynchers shown by
prominent officials and citizens. The case
is noteworthy because OF the bruta lit v
shown by the lynchers, and the sheriff's
cowardice.
In defense Uber claimed that Anderson
had knocked him down and threatened his
life. He was removed to Genoa jail.
Anderson's friends went to the Jail about
fifty strong. The sheriff gave up the
prisoner without a struggle, and the
wretched man, after being beaten about
the head to stop his cries, was stripped,
dragged half insensible over the frozen
ground to tree and hanged. Then the
body was literally riddled with bullets.
When some citizens tried to have the
lynchers arrested, no one would lift a
hand and the Genoa Courier, which ad-
rocated the prosecution OF the lynchers,
has been boycotted and the editor threat
ened.

and on her way she met n very old co.ored
man coming from the opposite ion,
evidently frcm the market, as he WAS
carrying in one hand a possum and in
the other a small split-wood basket
Of sweet potatoes. The old mans face
was heaming with good nature and
wreatl ed iii smiles of anticipatory pleasure.
He looked Sc jOyously into the face of the
lady that she, too, Could MT help but
smile at him, whereupon he held the pos
sum up aloft and said, Good "a tin In!ssey,

locked at the cliid-Iike, happy lace of
the old negro and said: So, you like pos

and with look of earnest concentration
began with: Now, don't you never forget

At Orangeburg Bishop Capers put the

life. Various causes were assigned for
20 much murder. The ministers claimed
that the pardoning power OF the governor
and the plea of self-defense at trials have
been abused until men had come to see how
easy it was TO kill and escape. The dis
