Report Reached Little Rock That Earl Dill Had Been "Strung Cp.' But It Was Unf0unded.

Little Rock, Aug. 10.-Wild reports
 came to Little Rock this afternoon
 that Earl Dill, who was last week
 acquitted of the charge of crimiIally
 assaulting Miss Ray Burhialter in the
 Pythian Hall June T, had been lynched in Saline county, where he was staying with relatives. George Cockman, relative of the boy, who stood by him during the trial, pro- nounced this runor, which was caus- ing considerable excitement about the city, as untounded. saying the boy was 1000 miles from Little Rock CT the supposed scene of the lynching at the time it was reported as having oc- cured. Much feeling is still ex- pressed about the verdict of the Dill jury and the fund which is being col- lected by women of the city to pro- vide for the education of the girl bids fair to become very large one. So far over S1.000 has been subscribed and the fund has but started. Many are now coming in from towns of the vicinity which were as much worked up as was Little Rock.
