OvERCROWDED SHIP.
Five Die on Voyage and Ninety Go to
Hospital

Melbourne, Aug. 9.-Capt Shields, medi-
cal officer of the transport Drayton
Grange, from South Africa, has made q re-
port in which he says:
The overcrowding of the ship was
shameful and scandalous and without con-
sideration for health or loss of life. The
air was poisonous and foul and the decks
were always wet, causing pieurisy and
pneumonia"
Capt. Shields adds that the supply Of
medicine on board was absurd and that the
conditions of the ship were directly re-
sponsible for the epidemic and deaths on
board.
A dispatch to the London Times from
Melbourne, August Z, reported that the
Drayton Grange had arrived there from
South Africa greatly overcrowded and with
many ON board H. Five men died on the
voyage and 80 were taken to hospitals in
Melbourne

Regulators Court, Judge Lynch on
The Bench.-An old settler here and
an old offender in Illinois, Northern
Iowa and Minnesota was arrested last
Monday at his residence in the North
western part of the county and taken
toHoward for trial on charge of horse
stealing, but discharged for want Of
testimony, although circumstances
were sufficient to convict him, in the
minds of this whole community. In
mediately on his release he was again
arrested on a charge of burglary. His
case was called and discharged, but he
was at once taken into custody by the
Howard County Vigilance Committee
and carried to burr oak tree a short
distance from town, where Justice was
dealt out to him in a summary man
ner. i At the tree he pretend
ed TO make some disclosures and con-
fessioDs, but his statements were so
very unsatisfactory that but little at
tentlon was paid them. After listen
ing about three hours to talk y
the committee became tired of it and
drew him up to limb by g rope
around his neck and then and there
administers to him about thirty lash
es we'll laid on, not however until he
had been Invested of his outward Zap
parel. The offender was then taken
by other parties who have started
with him to Freeport, Ill, where it is
said thereiS reward of $3.50 for him.
This old offender is none other than
the far famed Grin ID. Golf who has
given our portion of the county so
much trouble for the last six or eight
years. He left under promise that he
would not return again, which l hope
he may keep, for | noticed quite a
disposition in the court to hang him
till he was dead! dead!.
Great credit is due to the Axtell
Twins and and MIR. Sisco for their
efforts to capture this MIR. Golf, as [
understand they spent a whole weeks
time and their own money for the
purpose, and having traced him
through several counties finally came
upon him in his own home, but find
ing no catching, for no sooner did he
learn that they were after him than
he jumped out of window and ran
across the field and they after him,
firing guns and pistols at him no less
than five times before surrendered.
