A SMALL SCRAI’.
Messrs.' Hemphill and Latimer Do
the Unexpected.
BUT IT AMOUNTED TO NOTHING.
TWO MEN LYNCHED
One White* ami One Black Murtlerer
Hung Together.
Charles Salyers, white, and Harry
Gates, colored, were taken from the
county jail at Lexington, Mo., by a
masked mob at 1.30. Wednesday
morning and lynched.
They were charged with killing
George W. Johnson, a wealthy far
mer, who surprised them at his hen
house near town a week ago.
They were strung up and Salyers
made a statement to the mob saying
that Gates had tired the shot that
killed Johnson.
• Johnson was one of the wcathirst
and most respected men in the com
munity and the feeling against the
two men was intense.
Last night shortly after midnight,
armed men came to trwn tiy twos
and' tHrcrs. m<*t of them masked.

A TELEGRAPHIC ERROR
The kfli-Up It Caused and How a
Man Got Away.
As has been stated, J. H. Adams,
who was under arrest in Savannah,
escaped being brought to this state
proliably through a telegraphic error
in sending a name. This Is probably
the first Instance of the kind that ever
happened in this state or any other.
Governor McSweeney telegraphed
the governor of Georgia to have the
sheriff of Savannah hold J. H. Adams
until he could send requisition papers
for him. An hour or two afterwards
he received a message from Governor
Gaudier that he had Instructed the
sheriff to hold “Williams'’- us request
ed. Governor McSweeney wak non
plussed for the moment, as he could
not recall any “Williams” that he
wanted held. He thought that there

A dispacth from Manila says an in

to clear up the facts in the killing of
a Cebu coaching party of four school
teachers, shows that the party was
ambushed 12 miles from Cebu. Two
teachers were shot and killed at the
first volley, a third, who ran, was shot
in the !>ack, and a fourth who was
captured, was shot in the chest while
he was praying for mercy. It Is sus
pected that the fourth man was burled

probably would not have caifsed his
death. Dogs dug'up two of the bodies

that sufficient evidence has been
