Terrible Fate of a Fiendish Negro
Murderer In Mississippi.
HE CONFESSED HIS CRIME
HAD CREMATED WOMAN AND
HER FOUR CHILDREN.
One of His Alleged Accomplices Mar
rowly Escaped Similar Death,
Some Doubt Having Arisen As to
His Guilt-Still Another at Large
and Wanted by the Mob.


Canton, Miss. Oct. 2O.-The little
town of st. Anne, twenty miles east OF
Canton, in Leake county, was last
night the scene of a horrible tragedy
a sequel to the burning of the Gambre.
family the night before.
Joe Leflore. a negro, who was cap
tured by q. posse, confessed that he,
in company with other negroes, had
tied Mrs. Gambrel and her four chill
dren to the floor, saturated the sur
-roundlngs with kerosene and burned
the unfortunate people alive.
The man, after the confession of the
awful crime, was promptly roped to a
stake and burned to a crisp, while the
crowd looked on in silence Another
negro, Bob Smith, was saved just in
the nick of time. as some doubt ex-
listed as to his guilt
The Gambrel tragedy occurred early
Thursday. morning, and it was first

confessed his Guilt.
Posses were Immediately formed to
scour the country and followed every
possible clue. Before the posse left
st. Anne it was discovered that Joe
Lef1ore, a negro who lived in the neigh
borhood, and who had heretofore borne
a good reputation, had disappeared.
Early last evening Lefiore was captured
several miles from the scene of the
murder. AT first the negro vigorously
denied any knowledge of the crime, but
he finally broke down and confessed
that he and Bob Smith and Andrew
Smith, two other negroes. had done the
dastardly work. He hoped for no
mercy and told with a brutal frank
ness all the details of the crime.
His captorS were stupefied at the
revelation. In the yard where the Gam
bred residence had stood, Lefiore was
tied to a stake and burned alive. No
one sent a meTciful bullet into his body
to kill him. Andrew Smith escaped
from the mob while Lef1ore was being
burned and has not yet been recap
tured
Bob Smith was tied to another stake

THE NEWS IN LONDON.
Advices From South Africa Confirm
Reports of Fighting.

London, Oct, 20.-The reported Boer
attack on the British position at Glen
coe was confirmed early today and
thanks to the promptitude of the war
office (WhoSe messages naturally take
precedence) in publishing the official
dispatches from Sir George Stewart
| White, the public has been enabled to
follow the contest and TO discriminate
between the actualities and the unre-
liable rumors that have flooded the
papers.
1t appears that during the night the
Boer artillery occupied overlooking the
British camp and began dropping shells
at daybreak in the direction of the
British forces. The latter, under Sir
General William Symop> promptly ac-
cepted the challenge asai prepared TO
meet the invaders with their artillery.

with such advantage as to quickly 81

with a rush. in which the Dublin F'usi-
leers and the King Royal Rifles are
said to have specially distinguished
themselves, the fusileers capturing the
first guns of the enemy taken in the
present campaign.
Fortunately for the British, they are
apparently strong enough to withstand
a Boer force double their own, but in
view of the fact that the railway was
cut ait Elandslaagt, evidently in antic-
ipation of today's attack, it would have
been impossible TO send achievements
quickly from Ladysmith.
General Svmon seems to have been
in the thick of the fight, as might have
been expected. Confirmation Of The re-
port that he was wounded has been re-
ceived. just how seriously, however is

swore out a warrant for the arrest of
Professor W. H. Riechers, principal of

Arthur Whitney was IA years of age.
He had been in school four days when
he received a whipping from Professor
Riechers. He died last Tuesday. A

LITTLE CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Transport Senator Will Very Likely
Arrive On Time.

San Francisco, Oct. 20.-The Chronicle
says: There is little cause for alarm
at present over the fact that possibly
the United States transport Senator,
with the Iowa troops aboard, encoun-
tered typhoon shortly after leaving
Yokohama, according to marine meE
and the owners of the steamer. The
fact that the Empress of India did not
sight the transport and was herself
caught in the typhoon is not regarded
as ominous of the Senator.
In fact, the army officers and both
members of the firm of Goodall, Per-
kins & Co. the owners. are firm in their
belief that the Senator will arrive on
Monday, as scheduled. or at the most
not later than Tuesday. The Senator is
built of steel and cost S4ao, 600. She is
only two years old, and is one of the

of the New York Yacht club, had six

her three shr1eldng blasts.
Then her crew cheered and the hardy

ships in the excursion fleet followed
