Scalding steam and water poured into

Francis, the negro who outraged and
murdered Miss Mary Henderson at Col
umbus. Mo. last night has not yet been
captured, but 400 OF 500 men are tonight
securing the woods in the vicinity of
the scene of the crime and, it is said,
Francis cannot possibly escape. II is
not known whether he fed on horse
back or on foot, but the pursuit was
begun so soon after the discovery or
the crime that every outlet from the
country was closed promptly
Francis had always lived about
Columbus, knows every foot OF terri
tory Whereabouts and is more likely to
hide in the bush than to flee TO a
strange district The vines and weeds
along the creek beds are very tan and
tangled and afford good shelter. The
volunteers will hunt all night and viii
be relieved by others tomorrow Blood
hounds were sought last night. but
were not obtainable while the trail was
fresh. Francis will undoubtedly be
lynched if caught.
Bud Francis, brother Of the murder

covery of the crime. He was seen today
near CenterVieW. and when caught will
be strung up, members Of the posse
say, and compelled to tell what he
knows of his brothers whereabouts
Members Of a negro family named
Briscoe, living near the Hyatt farm
are believed to know something about
the murderer's flight and pressure Will
be applied to make them tell. When
the men Of the family were questioned
today, Mrs. Briscoe told them TO say
nothing. 1t is believed Francis passed
