Another Woman May BE Lynched-
Work of the Mob Denounced
by Governor LOnginO.

SMITHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 2.-The first
lynching in the annals of Dekalb county
took place this morning, when Charley
Davis, who was charged with criminal as
sault on Miss Kate Hues was taken from
the courthouse by mob of about twenty
five friends and relatives of the young
woman and hanged about a quarter of a
mile from town.
The assault on Miss Hues was committed
last Sunday evening and on Monday morn
ing Davis was taken before a magistrate
He submitted his case and the trial was set
for to-day. Court had met and the trial be-
gun when the defendant introduced wit
nesses to attack the girls character. The
father had said that he would not join or
allow any violent measures unless this
action was taken by the defendant. When
the witness began to give his testimony the
friends and relatives of the girl arose and
made for the prisoner.
For time there were wild scenes and
the people were greatly excited. The pris-
oner made an effort to escape by jumping
from the two-story window of the court
room. Several pistol shots were fired in the
crowd and Davis was captured before he
could jump.
The sheriff and one of his deputies and a
constable, who were trying TO prevent the
lynching, together with the father of the
defendant, were severely injured in clash
with the mob The wounded officers are
Sheriff j. T. Odom, Deputy Bob Odom and
Constable Nancy Pass. Milton Hues, the
father of the victim is a prominent grocer
in Smithville. and the mob was composed
almost entirely of his relatives and friends.
There were about twenty-five men IN the
mob. After the execution of Davis the mob
dispersed, and while excitement is high
there is no danger of further trouble.

A STARTLING DISCOVERY
Secret of the Hypochondriachal Con
 duct of James Kay

A startling discovery was made in this town last night, and one that will cause Mr. James Kay of the, Hotel Adams a deal of trouble before he gets through with it. He has been accused CT withholding from the public infor- mstiou that he alone could possess and yet that of right belongs to the pab lie st large. The facts were made known last night. but through no con fcssion of his and. therefore, he can- not ciaim mitiga ting circumstances in defense of his outra geous conduct
 He has hitherto borne the esteem of q large circle of friends. but from this tire on he will not stand higher than ;s-slone deuce in q whole deck of face cards. unless he makes public ac- knowledg cement from the front side of the bar of justice-or Hotel Ad inns.
 The facts are that Mrs. Kay has been east for two or three months. and returned home as long ago as last Friday. Notwithstanding he had due notice of her arrival. he failed to ap- prise the board of trade or hire a band or get up any sort of a demonstration other than would be expected were he to arrive himself. On the contrary, he has sneaked around the hotel for the last two days as though he had something he wanted to tell. but did not dare to. Yesterday a friend who chanced to call on Mrs. Kay. was in troduced to the finest girl baby that was ever born an uncrowned queen. while her daddy has been harboring for month the secret of her existence, hiding out from the greatest honor that ever got on his trail and wearing him self into the semblance of a ghost with the liver complaint, when he should have been on the top story of tho Ho- tel AdamS every morning at daylight. growing like a Shanghai rooster at a Covrty fir
