WHIPPED TO DEATH BY MOB.
BuIIoch County Comes to Front With
Another Tragedy.

Another Tragedy.
Statesboro, Ca. August 30.-Sebas-
tine Mcbride, a negro man living near
Portal, in the upper part of Bulloch
county, was taken out of his house
Saturday night by mob of five men,
carried out in the woods and whipped
severely and then shot, from the eff
fects of which he died soon afterwards.
Before death came, however, he re-
lated to a number Of white men and
negro people the manner In which he
was handled and told the names of
three of his assailants.
He said the men came to his house
and hailed him at the door. When it
was opened the men came IN with
guns and held his wife at bay while
they carried him away. After they
had been gone some time, his wife
heard several guns fired.
Some time in the night Mcbride re-
turned to his house badly beaten and
shot in the back in several places.
Several of the white neighbors were
notified and went to see the negro
and took his testimony. After his
death Coroner D. O. Stamford was
notified and held an inquest.
The killing was done quite a dis
tance from this place, and it was i'm
possible to learn all the details of the
crime. The verdict OF the coroner's
jury was obtained, however, and the
sheriff has gone to arrest the persons
named in the verdict of the jury.

Russian forces are disposed at LiaO

three Japanese armies described in

this information, together with the de-
tails of the retirement OF the Russian
troops upon Liao Yang, have not been
given out, for strategetic reasons.
The combined armies of General
Kuroki, General Oku and General Nod

| ing at Logan. Utah. at which the
government, the congress, the laws
and the American people We're de-
nounced, is an evidence that the sen
timent OF the many wived Mormons
remains unchanged. Members of the
Mormon church constituted almost the
entire gathering at Logan. The sense
|of the meeting, was fairly expressed by
the action of the presiding officer, who
sharply rebuked and ordered to cease
a speaker who suggested that it was
unwise to attack the United States
government in defence of polygamy.
1t Is time that these Mormons learn
the power of the government to en-
force its laws. The revelations be-
fore the senate committee show that
polygamy f1ourishes and has fiourished
within the state of Utah under the
eyes Of officials whose sworn duty it
is to execute the law against it. No
man may conduct five separate estao-
en- wives and the father of between
three and and four dozen children in
secret. There should be a commits
sion appointed to investigate these Of
f1cials who are as bIamable for per-
hitting polygamy as the Mormons for
practicing 1t.
Utah needs a thorough cleaning out
Its statehood is nominal so long as
majority of it's citizens are disloyal
and lawless. There is occasion for the
strong hand and 1t should be laid un-
fiinchingly and determinedly upon
those who practice or defend poly
gamy. If the Mormon church will
learn in no other fashion it should
be taught Under the lash. It's REBEL
ious and brutal history leaves little
hope ii will learn obedience to the
government otherwise.
