BLACKS ARE TAKEN FROM PRls-
ON AT MARION, ARK, AND
HANGED IN JAIL YARD.
JAIL WAS LEFT UNGuARDED
Keys Were ForcIbIy Taken From
Deputy Sherlff-Few Residents
Knew Of Execution--Lynch
ing Planned Before.

Marion, Ark.-Charles Richardson
and Bob Austin, negroes, were taken
from the jail here early Friday morn
ing and were lynched in the jail yard.
Few of the details of the lynching are
known beyond the fact that a small
party of men met Deputy Sheriff Tom
Wilford down town and forcibly took
from him the keys of the Jail.
Between 1:30 and 2 o'clock a. m.
part of not more than 80 men went
to the Jail, which had been left un-
guarded, as the local officers believed
the situation normal, removed Rich.
ardson and Austin and hanged them
to tree in the Jail yard.
Not shot was fired and few resi-
dents Of the town knew of the lynch.
ing until they went down town in
the morning and saw the bodies OF
the negroes swinging in the Jail yard.
Sheriff Lewis was out of town
searching for escaped prisoners.
Four days ago twelve prisoners es-
capped from the Jail by saving their
way to freedom. Among them was
the negro accused of assassinating A.
H. Ferguson, prominent merchant,
last December. This aroused the
citizens to fever heat Posses were
organized and systematic search
for the fugitives was begun.
Lynchlng Planned Before.
The assassin who killed Mr.. Fergu-
son, former sheriff, came near being
lynched last December, on the night
Of his crime, but Sheriff Lewis took
him to Memphis for safe keeping. and
1t was not known that he had been
returned to the Marion Jail.
1t is feared the negroes have an
organization similar to the one that
was crushed in the county several
years ago. The object of it, in brief
was the determination Of the whites
There are few white residents in
Crittenden county as compared to the
negroes, and no county in Arkansas
has such bloody record. The ne.
groes kill and escape to Memphis,
few being captured.

INSPIRATION OF LIFE.

We lose much as we pass along
even the quietest ways OF life. II rs
not necessary that we be conspicuous
in the world to meet with abiding sor-
rows and losses that can never be
forgotten or retrieved, says Columbia
Is. c. State. Affliction finds us in ev-
cry retreat. We lose many material
things, over which we grieve, although
these may be replaced, and we may
regain the heights we have lost. We
lose ambitions and hopes and we sac
rif1ce aspirations, and these we may
not so readily replace, for the soil in
which these spring will hardly grow
"A second harvest. And we lose ideals
chiefly because OF our own languish'
ing or Indifference, though often be-
cause of the 'long-lived pressure of
obscure distress" We can seldom
set up another ideal, quite so lofty, in
the place of the one we have ceased
to honor, or that has been shattered
by the iconoclastic hand of circum-
stance. Ideals pass and leave us bar
rem and scared in heart, and If we Gre
ate new ideals they are nearly always
lower ones. We have been pressed
down in the scale of life. We must
keep our young faiths and ideals
fresh and strong, we must water them
with our reverence, or we shall lose
them and with them the glamour and
the inspiration of life.
