FOUR NEGROES LYNCHED.
We're Accused Of Heinous Crimes and the
Mob Lost No Time.

Mob Lost NO lime.
Little Rock, ARK, January S.-Four
colored men have been lynched in the
vicinity of Borden, Ark, within the
last few days, two for rape and the 9TH
er two for murder. The ravishers,
Devoe and Huntley were swung up near
Harlow Hill branch. about three miles
north of Borden, while the murderers met
their faith near the town of Little fBay,
few miles south of Borden.
Devoe and Huntley were lynched for a
crime committed year ago. They at
tempted to outrage Mrs. Paine, a respec-
table white woman at Borden. Both ne
groes escaped and remained away for 70
months. A few days ago Devoe put in
an appearance and was promptly arrest
ed. Davoe said that Huntley was work
ing at Anderson Mill on the Cotton
Belt railroad, about IS miles north of
Fordyce. Devoe was left in charge of
remainder Of the mob went to Anderson S
mill to get Huntley. They found their
man and lynched him after leaving the
mill. When the mob returned to Borden
they gave out the report that HuntIey
could not be found. Devoe was then
placed in wagon and the mob started
with him to Harlow Mill branch, three
miles north of Borden, where the crime
was committed, in order that his victim
might identify him. Later the mob re-
turned with an empty wagon and report
ed that Deyoe had escaped There seems
to be no doubt of the fate of both men.
The other two men were accused of the
murder of Bart Frederick, water pump
er for the Cotton Belt railroad, working in
in Kingsland, few days ago. Frederick WAS
thrown from his velocipede and muir
dered. His pockets were rif1ed and his
watch taken. 1t was through the watch
that clue to the identity Of the murder
ers WAS secured. The negroes left time
piece at store in Rison. A mob start
ed at once in pursuit and captured the
murderers at point near Little Bay
The details of this lynching are not OBJ
tainable, but it is reported that three
negroes were captured and two were
hanged. The third was wanted at King
lands on anothsr charge and was turned
over to the sheriff of Cleveland county.

NO PELAGIC SEALING.

Victoria, B. c., January Sin the
opinion of sealing men there will be no
pelagio sealing in Behring sea during the
coming season and only one schooner, the
Director, will go to the Japanese coast.
What pelagic sealing will be done will be
carried on along the California, Oregon
and British Columbia coasts. This, to-
gether with the prohibition of the sealing
by the United States government, which
will prevent schooners from leaving
American ports, they say, should tend to
increase the price of skins which have
been low for several years.
