Little Rock, Ark. Aug. 11.-A special to The Gazette from Helena. Ark, says: Great excitement was occasioned here today by the report that three Italians had landed from skiff at the mouth of St. Francis River nine miles above here. and were being guarded by na- tives on suspicion that one of the trio had yellow fever.
 It was found upon investigation that there ara now no suspects at the mouth of the St. Francis, though residents say three Italians arrived there in skin Wednesday night but were not allowed to land. They then pulled across the river and landed on the Mississippi side. One of their number seemed to be sick. The Memphis authorities were notified to be on the outlook for the suspects who said that their home was in Ohio and that they were bound there. The men are really in a pitiable state for they are not permitted to land any where and seem to be short of pro- visions. c

 As soon as the mob arrived at the public square the tools of its trade were provided.
 From his head to his heels the negro was saturated with oil. A match was applied to the feet and blaze shot high into the air.
 The mob stood by and watched the flames devour the negro. The fire was kept going for a while but 1t soon burned itself out and the body was cut down. Then more oil was poured upon it and the blaze started afresh until the body was almost entirely inciner- ated. Then the mob dispersed and in half an hour no sign remained of the erewsome tragedy that had been en- acted, nor of the victim whose death had been compassed so quickly after his crime. ..s.
 The relatives of the man were per mitted to take what was left of the body. They scraped up the remains and took them away. Later they will be buried by them.
