OF Crosby are rejoicing over the completion
OF one of the neatest passenger and freight
depots in the state.
About ten days ago Mr.. George Corners
foreman OF the bridge and building depart
ment of this division of ~ Southern
Pacific railroad, arrived here and began
the erection OF the building. which was
completed today. 1t is OF modera design
and very handsome.
The workmanship and material is OF
the very best. The building is thirty feet
wide and sixtyfour feet long and will cost
about $500. The office and waiting rooms
arc finished inside with the native curly
pine.
The next building of public character
TO DO erected here will be a public school

SCENE OF The LYNCHING.
The Body of the Bryan Rape fiert
Swung All Night.
TIE ROPE SAVED BY THE CURIOUS.
cut Into Little Pieces as McmcntOcs.
Another Negro Nearly Iynchcd
T.. Excited CuIorcd citizens.

| Bryan, Texas January 2i.-By IL o'ciock
the streets were deserted and no unusual
sound disturbed the silence of the city
| Occasionally the footsteps OF some be-
lated pedestrian were heard echoing along
/ the street. but he hurried along as II anx-
| ious to shun the place where so recently
violent passions had swayed an angry pop
ulace and vengeance had been wreaked on
/ The perpetrator OF the blacklist crime on
! the criminal calendar.
The negro was left hanging alone, and all
through the long dark vsils of the night
his lifeless form hung stiff aud stark, heed
less of the wind as 1t whstled mournfully
through the leafess branches above him.
When tho morning broke and the suns
golden shafts chased back the shades of
night the lone figure was seen still hanging
where it had been left. and soon a ere ~d,
through curiosity, began to gather end by
O'Clock nearly half the town had called
to view his lifeless body.
During the morning Justice Gloss held
an inquest and returned a verdict that
the deceased, Eugene Washington. met his
death by hanging at the hands OF unknown
parties
About 10 o'clock the body was cut down
and taken to tn" home OF his mother, who
lives in town, to be prepared for burial.
The rope with which he was hanged
also the ones with which his feet and hands
were tied. We're cut up into small bits and
carried away by curo hunters.
The Post reporter secured the negrys
hat and will keep 1t as protector against
ghouls. COLLINS and other kindred spirits.
About II o'clock there was another en-
element and talk of another lynching. 1t
seems that during the trouble at the Jail
yesterday afternoon a negro who was in
the crowd, snatChed a gun from one OF the
mob and attempted TO shoot at the officers
in the Jail but was prevented from doing
so. This morning some of the negroes In
h drew a pistol and made them burn the
wind. Some Of them went for the officers
and they soon had him under arrest As
they neared the Jail crowd OF negroes
gathered and cries of hang him were heard
and no doubt they would have done so had
not the officers hurried him into the jai1
and landed him safely behind the bars
The lynchng OF last night has been the
subject OF conversation all day, and while
II Is deeply regretted that the fair name
of the city and county has been marred by
ii lynching on the main street OF the coun-
ty seat still the concensus of opinion ia
that the negro met his just deserts and
mat the participants were justihable in
their action
