Bad Man From Dukedom, Tenn.
Hanged to a Trustle Last Night,
He Killed 4 Night Waterman in Cold
Blood and Vengeance
Was Swift.
AFFAIR WAS QUIETLY MANAGED.

Tom Blackard. resident of Duke
dom, Tenn a small place about 10
miles from Fulton, was lynched last
night by an Infatuated mob Of Fulton
citizens, for the murder of Frank
Taylor, n night Waterman at the Illi-
nois central freight yards at Fulton.
Taylor heard loud and boisterous
language in the yards and going out
informed BlAoksrd, who was doing
the talking, that IL he did not stop he
would have to arrest and lock him up.
without word Blacksrd pulled PTS
tol and began TO shoot at Taylor, one
ball entering the head at the corner Of
the mouth, and leaving in the back OF
the neck and another ball entering the
right breast and leaving through the
back. Taylor fell to the ground and
by that time companion had come
mp. but having no pistol was unable
TO help Taylor. As the wounded man
foil he said, 81 am shot. take my gun
aud kill the S. of b." and then died.
His companion, cousin, it is said,
then secured Taylor's pistol and pur-
sued Blackard, who had begun TO run,
shooting at him several times. The
shootist had nearly outstripped his
pursuer whom several men were seen
coming in the opposite direction from
that coarse taken by Blacksrd and
they were spprised Of the shooting
and started in pursuit also. The men
all had pistols and shot as they ran.
Blacksrd fell 10 the ground and,
thinking they had killed him, the men
secured wagon and hauled him TO
the police station where doctor was
called. An examination proved that
he was not injured and had not even
scratch. He was locked up and
nothing WINS thought of the matter rel
alive to his danger until mob COL.
lected about 1890 O'Clock, repaired to
the city bastile, secured BACKYARD and
lynched him. The iynching occurred
at q trestle short distance from the
city.
The body was left swinging from
the trestle until about midnight when
it was cut down and taken to town.
From reports BACKYARD was bad
man and had a reputat ion as such
both in Fulton and in the place
where he lived. Taylor, il is said
gave him no cause whatever for
shooting and the murder was done
in cold blood. The peopls at Full
ton, generally, consider that Black
ard met a just fate.
The lynching was quietly done and
there was little excitement until after
it was all over AMI then the town
was thoroughly stirred up and peo-
pie were on the streets until early in
tho m orning.

A GOOD CITIZEN GONE.

All that was mortal OF Thomas 4.
Martin was laid at rest today in the quiet
grave yard. Few men live to reach the
ninetie,h milestone, vet TO him was given
the privilege OF life that exceeded the
allotted three score yeats and ten," by
two score more.
Mr.. Martin was man Of staunch
principles, of unswerving traits OF char
acler. of high aims and worthy ambi
ton.
He had the respect of the whole COM
munity, and was identified with the best
interests of the city. During his term as
the cily's chief executive he directed the
municipal government in the best posi-
BILE manner to the interest of the citizens
and taxpayers. He was not only capa-
BILE, but was possessed of unusual execu-
tive ability. and was one of those natures
born to govern and command.
As an editor Mr.. Martin welded a
fAcle pen. His writings were forceiul
yet concise. He was not afraid to criti-
else when criticism was needed. nor to
commend when commentator was de-
served. His learle ssness was one of his
strong characteri' les. most marked in his
editorial writings.
Always Republican, he adhered to
and advocated the principles of his party,
although he had many friends among
the opposite political faction. His was
not the offensive parlisanship.
MIR. Martin was good citiz,n, true
aud tried friend. Thrown upon the world
a, sixteen. his success in life through his
own ffIrts. is a valuable lesson to young
men. He did no, wait for something
to turn up but he turned that something
up for himself.

MOONS PHASES,
THE TRUSTS AND FoODsTuFPs.

The country has begun to feel pinch
ing and grinding Of the trusts. The poor
man is especially afflicted by the adj
vance in price Of food stuffs. Beef has
advanced in price some time ago, but
beef is not the only poor mans necessity
that has taken an upward leap. The
Meat Trust has advanced the prices of
eggs, butter. lard. potatoes and onions.
and the indications point to still higher
prices for these articles.
The Trust, not content with the cor
troll Of these products and with the virtual
monopoly OF the trade in dressed meats.
Is reaching out after the cheese trade
and for all the cabbages in sight. II its
present plans do not misca'ry, by this
time next year the Trust will control the
marketing Of most vegetables grown in
this country and will have taken long
step toward the control Of the fruit trade.
Even Senators and Congressman who
aid these Trusts in their scheme OF mo-
nopoly to crush the poor man, are be-
ginning to feel the pinch. Their beet
sandwiches that once served them for
luncheon with glass of milk. and that
formerly cost 10 cents each, now cost
IS cents. This brings the matter home
TO them.
The octopus thrust" has got its firm
hold upon us, and we are now at its
mercy.
