MOB STORMS A JAIL
EATERS DOWN DOORS OF SHELL
BYViLLE (kY.) JAIL, LYNCH
THREE NEGROES.
TWO ARE SHOT TO DEATH
Rope Breaks, Prisoners Run, Are Pur-
sued and Rldded With Bullets
Murderer and TWO insulters OF
Women Are Victims.

Shelbyville, Ky.-TweGty masked
men early Sunday stormed the Jail
here. seized three negroes and strung
them up to a railroad bridge. The
rope broke with two of the victims
and they were shot to death.
The dead negroes are: Eugene Mar
shall, who had been convicted of the
charge of numbering an aged negro
woman, and had been sentenced to the
penitentiary for life Wade Patterson,
charged with OBTAINING Miss Elizabeth
Rubel, white nine teen-year-old Shell
byville girl, and James West, negro
charged with OBTAINING Miss Mary
Coley, a white girl of this place.
Feeling had been high since the ar
rest Of the two negroes several weeks
ago and they were taken to Louis
vile, where they were held for safe
keeping until Thursday, when the
local authorities brought them here to
stand trial. However, the news OF
their arrival spread and as there was
no demonstration, the authorities be-

the law to take its course.
The mob rified a local blacksmith
shop and secured sledge hammer
and various other tools for breaking
doors and cutting bolts. They then
proceeded to the county Jail.
The negroes were awakened by the
blows on the doors and knew that the
mob had arrived Pleading for their
lives they were dragged out OF the
Jail and hurried across town. where
they could be hanged outside OF the
city. Ropes were quickly adjusted
and it is said that no time was given
over to a confessional.
AS Patterson and West. who were
hung on the same rope, were swung
over the end OF a railroad tie, their
bodies dangling several feet below, the
rope snapped. The two negroes then
made a break for cover The body OF
Patterson was found riddled with bull
let's near the creek Vests body has
not been recovered, but it is stated
that he was shot Marshall's body
was found swinging from the bridge.
There will be an investigation Of
the hanging, but 1t is believed that
there will be no arrests.

It may do no harm here to recall the story
of the heroism of Lieut.. James E. Bell Of the
United States army, who died because of his
devotion to duty, died at a time when no bull
let's were flying, but when an even deadlier
foe of necessity must be met. This story has
been published many times, but 1t has its ever
lasting lesson.
Fort Jefferson, on the Tortugas, in August
of the year 1873 was garrisoned by Battery NJ
First United States artillery. Outside of the
surgeons there was only one officer, Lieuten
ant Bell at the post. Capt L. L. Langdon had
been granted a leave of absence to go north
to the bedside Of his dying father. On August
% yellow fever appeared at the post. Within
two days four OF the garrison had died. Upon
the first announcement of the appearance Of
the scourge Lieutenant Bell sent all the women
and children and some of the married men TO
an island three miles away. Within day or
two he sent to the same place nearly all the
well men of the garrison, retaining only
enough to nurse the sick. There could have
been no criticism of Bells course had he gone
with the garrison, leaving the sick to the care
of the surgeons and the nurses. He stayed and
sisted by the men who had volunteered. The

Recently two young officers not long out
of the naval academy we're forced to resign
from the service because they were constantly
seasick while on service on the battleships.
The young fellows stuck 1t out for several voy-
ages, but when 1t is remembered that seasick
man as rule is SO sick that he is perfectly
willing to die, 1t can be understood what these
young fellows suffered during the weeks OF
the voyaging They resigned from the navy
simply because they could not be Of any serv-
ice They were sick from the moment the voy-
age began until they were back once more In
port They were competent officers and since
their resignation they have been given land
berths as officers of heavy artillery In the
United States army.
| asked an old naval officer recently, man
who served on the old frigate Constitution, II
he knew of any cases Of chronic seasickness
among OUCeTS ana IuSu uuIluS luo Olu udJ
of the service. He said he knew of only one
case, that of an officer who developed seasck-
ness after some years of service, but that 1t
was thought that a slight injury to his spine
had affected his stomach and that 1t was this
more than the motion of the vessel which was
the cause of his ailment
This same veteran officer said that there
is considerable seasickness today in the navy,
although comparatively few cases that could
be called chronic and that they were due. he
believed more to the heat of the modern steel
vessels than to the motion caused by the
waves. In the old days OF wooden ships with
sail power only there was no heat on board
except that given out by the galley and by the
small stove which occasionally was to be found
in the captains cabin. The old-time ships in
winter were kept in warm climates as much as
possible or otherwise the men would have
frozen to death.

commanded by Commodore Perry, who opened
the ports of Japan to the commerce of the

Be Arbitrated

Chicago.-The garment workers
strike is practically ended.
An agreement was reached late
Saturday between the Hart, Schaff-

the joint conference and strike com
mittee, which ends the long struggle
for 10000 of the strikers, returning
them to their positions with the
firm.
The agreement, in all probability,
will bring an early settlement of the
entire strike BY the terms OF the
agreement all former employees of the
concern will be taken back, and there
will be no determination against
members or the United Garment
Workers. The compromise provides
for committee Of three to arbitrate
all grievances Of the strike.
