OGMPAm, LEXINGTON, SOUTH CAR. | N gro Lynched At Sartor. Bartow, Fla., April 23.?Strung up to a tree in which he sought refuge and his body riddled with bullets, Charles Scharborough, a negro, who yesterday attempted to assault a lady of Fort Myer, met a speedy death today at the hands of a posse of infuriated men. ' The posse started out with blood- s hounds on the negro's trail soon after j the crime became known and scoured J the woods all night. In a secluded j spot the posse captured the negro today, finding him in the top of a tree which a few minutes later served a9 his scaffold. The negro confessed and without delay a rope was put around his neck and he was drawn up to a limb. The posse then stood off and fired 20 shots into his body. As Monday is Memorial Day, the !
