LYNCHING IN ILLINOIS.
Negro Taken from Jail at BelIcyiIIc
Hanged to Telegraph Pole
and Then Burned.

Belleville, ILL.,, June Sc. IL.
Wyatt. negro who Saturday after
noon shot Superintendent of Schools
Hertel because the latter had refused
to renew his certificate as teacher,
was taken from the Jail at 1880
o'clock Saturday night by mob of
more than 1000 furious men and
lynched. Wyatt was probably beaten
to death in the fight at the jail, but
the limp body, terribly distigured,
was dragged through the streets, the
recipient of kicks and blows, to the
public square, where it was strung
up to n telegraph pole.
Meanwhile some one in the party
suggested burning the body, and oil
was hastily brought. The corpse was
cut down, placed on pile of infiam-
mable material. thoroughly saturat-
ed with oil, and set on fire. When it
had burned to an unrecognizable
crisp the mob quietly dispersed.
