the same crime on highly respectable

secured the county for the feod and
foucd him this morning and quickly
strung hin up to the nearest tree
Conflicting reports. however. have
cone in since, which. if true. makes
the 6rss story very much exaggerated.
The latest Information is that the negro,
who is very desperate character, had
on several previous occasions crimiuaIly
assaulted colored women. but 10 each
instance ei1ded arrest and punishment
and on Tuesday. growing bold in the
success of his drs: crimes. made insult

1t is impossible to verify either story

probable ,has the last information is
nearest correc: and that no real lynch-
