TERRORS OF RUSSIAN LYNCH LAW.
Prevalence Horse Stealing Has Driven h Peas-n Stern Measures
Of Repression.

An extraordinary ARRAY took place
a few days ago at Lopatchevo. a popu-
lous village In the government OF Klein.
Russia. This place has lately earned
an evil reputc as harboring band Oi
cattle and horse thieves. who systema-
tlcally raided the cattle Of the vii.
lagos and hamlets in the adjoining dis.
trict.
The rural police took little notice OF
the complaints OF the victims. and the
latter therefore took the matter OF
chastisement into their own hands.
They organized an overwhelming at.
tack upon Lopatchevo. which they APP
preached In three columns from varl-
Gus points. There were no firearms
among the attacking parties. but they
were well equipped with stout cud.
gels. The enemy had. however. re-
ceived warning and were prepared for
the onslaught. which was delivered
with desperate yigor.
The conflict lasted a couple OF hoars.
when the attacking party had To re.
tire. leaving five OF their number be.
hind beaten TO death. The defenders
lost three killed. making eight fatal.
tiles altogether. There are thirty-three
combatants in hospital. many OF them
injured for life.
Year by year, so soon IA the dark
nights OF autumn begin. verltable
plague OF horse stealing breaks out in
the rural districts OF Russia. There
seems TO be no means OF checking this
evil. which Is now AZ its yearly zenith.

ing. This Is the explanation OF the
presence OF lynch law I'm Russia and OF
it's recent violent manifestation.
The mode OF lynch law most preya.
lent In Little Russia Is this: when n
horse thief Is caught the men in tho
village club him 20 death. each trying

no injury more serious than n bruise.
Far more horrible Is the method of
binding the feet OF the criminel To the
tail OF n young and active colt. A lad
leaps upon the animals back and gal.
lops away over ditch and meadow. A
very few minutes OF a ride like this
and little Is left OF the horse thief.
A similar punishment is to bind the
thicf's feet 10 the axle 81 n cart and
thcn drive away as fast as the horse
can travel.

OF severlng the knee tcadons. which
