Negro Lynched in Mississippi.

Memphis, Tenn, June ga special
to The Commercial Appeal from Eupora,
Miss, says: Startling Durham, a negro,
wanted on the charge of criminally as
saulting the 14year- old daughter of John
Wilson, white man, near Bellefontane,
two days ago, and attempting to crimi-
nally assault three young ladies named
Dunn, near this city, all during the
course of the same day, was hanged in
the public square here to day by a mob.
The moose was placed about the negro's
neck by the little Wilson girl, who posi-
lively identified him as her assailant.
The negro was then placed upon the
back of large black horse and at sig
nal from the leader of the mob the little
Wilson girl led the horse from under
him.
Over 5000 persons, white and black,
witnessed the hanging. The lynchng
was as orderly as n legal execution.
After being assured that the negro was
dead, the mob cut down the body and
turned 1t over to relatives for burial.
Durham was captured Friday near
Vienna, Ala, after running chase dur
ing which he was wounded in two places.
He was brought here last night by the
sheriff of this county. A large mob met
the train at the depot and an effort was
made to get the negro, but the officers
spirited him away and carried him to the
Jail at Walthall, six miles from here.
where he was again met by a mob of de-
ternined men, who said that their inten-
tion was to burn him. The officers in
charge of the negro succeeded in prevail
ing upon the mob to give up this inten-
tion, but only after promising to deliver
the negro to the mob this morning for
execution.
There was strong sentiment for burn
ing. but this was overcome and the
lynching took the form of hanging.
Durham stoutly maintained his inno-
cence to the last and denied that he had
ever seen the Wilson girl. He admitted
having visited Dunn's place, but denied
any bad motive. His last remarks were
made to two hundred negroes who were
assembled about the point of execution,
Dunham telling them never to 60 about
q white mans house when women were
at home alone
The three Dunn sisters, tho eldest of
whom is less than Is, witnessed the
lynching from distance.
Jackson, Miss, June 2G.-Gov. Varda-
man was notified of the capture of Star
ling Durham and his return to Eupora
this afternoon. He immediately wired
the sheriff of Wilson county if troops
were needed to protect the prisoner.
The lynching, however, had occurred be-
fore the Governor was apprised that
Durham had been brought back to Mis-

FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
Frauds in Watch Cases.

According TO an article in the Cincinnati
Commercial, ffty-one pound stone was
recently found in that city secreted in q
bale of hay of eighty pounds.
This is not as bad as finding lump oil
lead of nearly one-half the weight of tho
solid gold watch case secreted in the cen
ter of the case.
Gold watch cases are sold by weight,
and no one can sec where this lead is Sc
GREETED until the springs of the case ara
taken out and the lead will be found Sc
GREETED behind them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest but furnish the means
to the dishonest to rob the public. 1t is
not pleasant for anyone to find that he has
lurged lump of lead in his watch case.
Another trick the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is TO stamp the case
~. S. Assay" The Uaited States does
not stamp any article made out of gold
and silver except coin. and the fakir, by
using this stamp, wants TO make the public
believe that the government had something
to do with the stamping or guaranteeing
the fineness OF watch cases.
Another trick OF the watch fazir Is to
advertise a watch described as a solid gold
filed watch with a twenty or twenty-five
year guarantee. These watches are gen
orally sent c. O. D., and il the purchaser
has paid for the watch he finds that the
Company which guaranteed the watch 10
wear Is not in existence.

Of Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex-
posing these frauds. wiz furnish . the
names OF the Manufacturers who are In
this qnestionable business
