EVADED LYNCHING PARTY.

 Daughter May Convene
 Special Term of Court.

Hoxie, Ark, July 1O.-The Swear old daughter of J. J.

A party of 100 citizens went to the jail Wednesday night for the purpose of lynching the negro, but Sheriff Me Call slipped him out and took him to some place not revealed to the public. The deed has caused intense excite ment and should the miscreant fall into the hands of the incensed popu- lace his fate would be speedy.
