pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure In all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires
constitutional, treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation Of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by

Paducah, KY, October 16-Follow-
ing the double lynching of Brack Ken
ley and Luther Durrett, negroes.
shortly before noon today and the
subsequent cremation of the bodies,
Paducah resumed its normal condition
tonight and fear of threatened race
riot has abated, although extra pre-
cautions were taken by swearing in
about twenty extra policemen to guard
the city.
The bodies of the victims are
smoldering in the embers, no attempt
having been made to remove then
and only the charred remains are left.
A negro undertaken drove to tile
scene this afternoon, but returned
without the bodies The flesh mostly
cooked away, the pyre is a CHASTITY
spectacle.
Durrett, who at first was reported
tc be Jesse Thornhill, a negro who
made an ugly remark about Kenley's
deed last Saturday, is alleged to have
remarked he would kill some white
man as the mob passed with Henley.
Members who heard the words yanked
him from the sidewalk and hung him
to a tree en- route to Mrs Roses home,
where Henley positively was iden-
titled.
Mrs. Rose begged that her assailant
be burned, saying:
God forgive me if | am wrong"
A wire was stretched around her
three room home to keep out the surg
ing crowd.
The fire was started by one of the
mob. The crowd cheered as the
flames shot up and enveloped their
victims.
Briefly Mrs. Rose thanked the moo
for avenging the awful crime COM
mitted upon her, saying
my life is blighted and ruined. but
| thank you all from the bottom Of my
heart"
In broad daylight, with leisurely
determination and in full view of ut
least 5000 people. mob of 200 today
took Brock Henley, negro, from the
county Jail, carried him three miles on
foot to the home of Mrs. Eta Rose,
whom he is accused of assaulting, had
him identified and hanged him to a
tree limb not forty yards from the
house, riddled him with bullets and
then set fire to him
Two Hanged on Same Tree
Meanwhile another section of the
mob captured Luther Durrett, another
negro, accused of endorsing the crime
of Henley, and while Identification was
going on, hanged him to the very tree
on which Henley was later hanged.
1t took the mob three hours to Sc
cure their man. County officials and
police occupied the Jail They put up
no fight, but discarded their keys and
the mob was forced to send to foun-
dry for tools with which to enter the
cages.
Circuit Judge Reed rushed up the
Jail steps and exhorted the jailer not
to give up, but was forced away with
q gun.
Women and children were in thu
mob that attended the lynching, many
crowding eagerly to view the body,
while others became hysterical and
screamed. Henley never uttered a
sound during the ordeal. He was a
negro of about thirty-hve. Durrett
pleaded with his captors not to kill
him. He was young, about twenty
two.

The mob was led principally by ILL
nois Central shopmen, of whom
George Rose. husband of the woman
attacked, was a co-worker.
The mob began to form about Z
o'clock this morning, shortly after II
was learned that Henley had been ar
rested earlier in the morning by a
local policeman, and at 8 o'clock a
band of several hundred determined
men, most of them fellow employees Of
Rose in the Illinois Central yards,
gathered in the courthouse square,
Judge Reed and other officials OF
the county were summoned TO the
scene and pleaded with the mob to
allow the law TO take its course, but
their efforts were in vain.
Judge Reed. undaunted by the
threats of the mob. rushed to the Jail
and urged the jailer to refuse to give
up the keys. He attempted to stop the
onooming band. but finally when a
gun was presented TO his face, he was
forced TO stand aside.
