shot. The bullet pierced Gatterman's
heart and he fell to the floor dead
A crowd pursued the murderer, who,
terrified by his crime, turned and fed
through alleys and side streets.
The police arrived in time to pre-
vent Metca1f's capture by the inturi-
ated crowd, and the prisoner, shaking
with fear, was hurried to the city
prison and locked in a vault in which
the police records are kept He had
hardly been placed behind the vault
doors when the mob forced its
entrance to the Jail.
From back in the crowd railroad
irons were brought forward and the
combination of the vault door was
knocked OF and the negro quickly dis
patched with q revolver. A rope was
then placed around his neck and the
lifeless body dragged to the place where,
ony an hour before, he had killed Cat
terman. The rope was thrown over 4
telegraph pole and the body was sent
flying to its top. As it revolved in its
upward course tho men riddled it with
bullets.
Body II Burned.
The lifeless body was cut down and.
followed by the crowd, i was dragged
to the Wabash railroad tracks, when
someone gave the word, ITO the jail. >"
SwaJed BY this cry the body was
dragged to the Jail and placed in the
center Of the converging streets. Fren-
zied men and boys kicked and jumped
on the body, after which an armful
Of hay was thrown over it and a light
ed match completed the havoc.
Mob Seeks Another Victim.
But this bloody work did not satisfy
the crowd. Within the Jail was con-
fined a negro who had been brought
In from Marshheld, Ind, several days
before charged with IA assault upon
Mrs. Mary Burgess, q white woman.
Lets have that other one, too"
cried the leaders.
Inside the Jail q dozen deputies and
policemen. heavily armed, had been
stationed ready for an attack.
Amid the 1ee1s of the mob Sheriff
Whitlock stepped to the veranda Of
his residence, which is on the west
side of the jail, aud called for silence.
For = moment the noise was hushed.
Appeals were made BY the sheriff and
other citizens from the Jail veranda
and steps, but the crowd only hooted in
derision.
Fires On the Mob.
Then several members Of the mob
appeared with q railroad iron and 4
charge was made upon the door lead
ing into the Jail portion, behind which
was gathered the officers. Three or
four times was this imp7ovised bat
tering ram hurled against the steel
door, when the peep hole was opened
and the barrel Of Winchester gun
was thrust through it and another de-
mand from the. sheriff, this time from
q window in the second story, for the
mob to disperSe, and. Is no attention
was given to it, shot was fired over
the heads Of the mob. The shot only
appeared to anger the crowd. and an
other charge was made with the bat

gun was again fred. this time into tho

Mercerized Materials.

In view of the extensive popularity of
mercerized goods word Of explanation
in regard to their manufacture will be in
teresting. The term "meroerized," says
the Delineator, is derived from the name
of Mercer, dealer in small wares, who
fifty years ago discovered chemical
process by which he could make cotton
yarn silken in effect. Ten years after,
another man, presumably in his employ,
perfected the method which has become
one of the greatest improvements and
successes throughout the cotton world, in
consequence of linen being so high priced
and cotton, up to the present perfection,
having been so crude. In some cases a
burning test is necessary to determine
whether the material is silk or cotton;
cotton and silk shoulder, and mercerized
yarn, probably on account of the chemicals
used, flames. The textures are now so
beautiful that to the average person it is
impossible to tell at slight distance
whether the material is silk matelasse
or mercerized cotton.
