NEGRO CUT TO PIECES
Mob Takes Terrible Vengeance on
Brute at Devon, w. Va.
HIS MANeLso REMAINS BURNED
Negro Carried Little Girl to Woods
and Tying Her TO a Tree and Gag

Iy Desd-Wss Caught in the Act.

Bluefieds, w. Va. July 15.-The full
details OF one of the blackest crimes
that has ever blotted the history Of
the state have Just reached this city.
The little town of Devon. Kings coun-
ty. was the scene OF the assaulting OF
a little 1fyear-old girl by a negro, fol-
lowed by his subsequent lynching by
an enraged mob numbering over 200
men. The little girl was caught a
short distance from her home by the
black fend and carried TO a neighbor-
ing woods, where her body was tied
10 a tree, hound and gagged. Her alb
sence was noticed By the neighbors.
who Immediately formed themselves
into searching party She was found
IN an almost dying condition, but was
able TO tell to the horror-stricken
searchers the story Wild were the
cries for vengeance when the little
girls story was heard, but after
consultation il was decided to lay in
wait for the fend IN short time he
appeared, and was just renewing his
assault upon the helpless child when
the entire mob OF concealed searchers
emerged and made for him. He would
have been torn limb from limb on the
spot, but the horrible crime Of the
human devil demanded more cruel
death, and cool heads kept the en-
ragged mob hack and the negro was
dragged 10 the village common and
bound to a tree. Again the mob gave
vent to their wild desire for revenge,
and It was by the greatest efforts OF
the leaders that they we're kept back.
The clothing OF the black wretch was
torn from mis- body, and pins, tacks,
weapon of torture was stuck into the
skin OF the negro as he struggled,
vainly pleading for his life.
He was allowed to suffer hundred
deaths. with his body bleeding in a
thousand plas.,. The almost Iiteless
form OF the little victim was then
placed before the glaring eyes OF the
brute. while willing hands cut the
Nongue from his swollen mouth. Ills
cries became lncohereat, and before
the snraged citizens could be checked,
the skin was literally cut from his
body and distributed among the villa
gers. He died with his eyes on the
little girl whose life he had ruined.
His heart was then cut out with jack
knives, his toes and fingers chopped
OF and carried away as mementoes.
His bloody and mangled form was then
soaked with kerosine and fred

To take bath at Tifiis is to court
a wonderful experience. Abundant
springs of water, strongly impregnated
with sulphureted hydrogen, supply the
building and in its vaulted chambers.
far below the street, there is no sound
but the splash of the fountain and the
rolling echo of ones own voice. Henry
Norman gives a description of the
masseur who presides over the bath
and makes its most eccentric feature.
He is a Persian, who speaks but a
word or two of Russian. His head is
shaved. d rag is twisted round his
waist, and his feet are dyed orange
First he rubs you, and then sudden
ly, as you lie face downward on the
marble slab, he is upon your back, his
feet dug into your spine, his hands
grasping your shoulders, to increase
the pressure. Slowly, with skillful APP
probation of every muscle, his feet
grind up and down your back. They
encircle your neck. They are on your
head.
Then he vaults lightly off, and in a
moment from linen bag filed with
soap he has squeezed clouds of per-
fumed bubbles. and you are hidden in
them from head to foot as completely
as if you had fallen into snowdrift
You are not absolutely bruised, but
you are clean
