NEGROES LYNCHED.
Three More Black Fiends Given the
Usual Punishment

Rosebud, Tex. May 14-Last night
three negroes, Dave Cotton, Henry
Williams and Sabe Stewart, We're taken
from the officers Of the law and hanged.
They had been confined in the Jail here
several days on a charge of attempted
rape, their intended victim being a
daughter of William Coates White.
Yesterday evening Williams made a
confession. Deputy Constable Wilson
had put strong guard around the jail
last night and everything was quiet
until about u o'clock, when a number
of men. heavily disguised, rode up to
the Jail and demanded the prisoners.
The guards refused to deliver them up
and the crowd retired. saying ii would
blow the Jail up with dynamite. or have
the prisoners. Immediately the officers
and guards summoned a bus and en-
tered it with their prisoners, leaving
by a roundabout route TO Martin,
hoping to reach the post in time to
elude the mob. When about three miles
east OF here, they were oTertaken by
about l 600 masked men. who over
powered them, took the prisoners and
hanged them TO a tree. after which the
mob quietly retired. The victim of the
negroes identified one Of them and his
confession implicated the others.

WYOMING.

The National Tribune OF Casper says:
Shearing sheep by hand is fast becom-
ing a thing of the past, and if anyone
doubts this, all they will have TO do to
be convinced is to take a drive to the
pens about seven miles west of this
city, where SO men are shearing sheen
by the aid of a gasoline engine, and
each man making better time and get
ting more wool than by the old method
1t is estimated by the most conserva-
tive and best Judges that at least a
pound more of wool is taken from each
sheep by the machine method than by
hand, and the cut is much smoother,
while at the same time two men can
turn ont as much work by steam as
three could by hand.
One feature possessed by the steam
shears over the hand process, and
which the flock owners will not be
slow to grasp, is the humane treatment
which the sheep shorn by this i'm
proved method receive, it being impos-
sible to cut or disfgure the sheep while
the fleeing process is going on, as the
knives are protected by guards

Trouble Over It's Transportation,
While the People in India Are
Starving.
New York. May H-No arrangements
have yet been made for forwarding the
5000 tons of corn stored in Brooklyn
warehouses to the DlagUe-stricken dis
tricts of India. 1t is a mistake to sup
with the custom house authorities Six
weeks ago congress authorized the secre-
tary Of the navy to charter a steamship
of American registry to convey the con-
tributions of food stuffs to India. The
contributions comprised chiefly wheat
buckwhe2t. barley and rye. which were
sold and with the proceeds corn was
bought.
When congressional authority to hire a
vessel was granted the contributions
amounted to about 1000 tons. Daniel w.
Hawthorne, the deputy collector in charge
of the marine division of the custom
house. reported to the secretary of the
navy that a vessel could be procured to
carry the grain at $40 a ton.
The rapid accumulation of grain made
it necessary TO look for a larger vessel,
but one could not be found There is no
American vessel available that will hold
Is 600 tons. The only vessel that will hold
so large I. cargo is the Hamburg-Amer
lean line steamship Pennsylvania. The
thing TO be done apparently, as the sec
retarv of the navy is not empowered TO
engage more than one vessel, is to see if
the British authorities will not provide
a -cssel TO take the larger part of the
corn while the American vessel takes
the remainder.
