Rawlins, Wyo., Oct. 2.?Details of the lynching of Frank Wigfall, the negro assailant of Mrs. Esther (Granny) Higgins, known as the "prisoners' friend," by the convicts of the State penitentiary here to-day, while Sheriff Willis, at the county jail, was holding off a party of wouldbe citizen lynchers, may never be known. The sinister threat, "the first man who squeals is the next man hung,* silenced all the convicts and prison guards examined by a coroner's jury to-day. The jury gave up the task late this afternoon without learning anything. Wigfall was placed in the county jail late yesterday for safekeeping, after his capture at Fort Steel. When the mob surged about the jail early this morning the sheriff probably saved the prisoner's life by slipping him out unseen and rushing him to the penitentiary nearby. Wigfall was placed in a cell, which soon afte** prisoners marching to breakfast had to pass. As they filed by the negro made slighting remains of his crime. 1X714-1*. r\ 4- fViA l'oil o + ill > v 11 ll iuc luuu a. c iuc jaii oiwi viuui ~ oring for the negro, about one hundred of the prisoners broke loose immediately after breakfast and made a dash for the negro, who also had been taken to breakfast. The guard was overpowered before he could thrust the negro into a cell and himself locked in the cell by the infuriated convicts. One of the convicts produced a 1 rope and while the others held the : negro he tossed a half hitch over the negro's head and made the other I end fast to the balcony rail of the cell house. The negro was tossed ] over the railway and the convicts ] marched back to their work. Not until the cries of the imprison- : ed guard brought other guards was i the lynching known to any one except i those who took part in it. < Sunday night Wigfall broke into ] Mrs. Wlggins's house, choping down a door with an axe. About dawn Monday he left her in a pitiful condition. A few hours later she crawled to a neighbor's house and told what ' happened. Posses searched the hills ' all Monday night for the aged woman's assailant. Late last night he 1 was captured in an exhausted/ condition by a justice of the peace. < Savannah to Finance Road. t J < The Charleston Evening Post of last Thursday has the following in , regard to the Bamberg, Ehrhardt and Walterboro Railroad: J "The talk in Savannah of financing . the construction of a railroad connection from Bamberg to Ehrhardt and ' the diverting of Charleston trade in that section to Savannah is not seri- , ously viewed in commercial circles here, and even if the road is constructed by Savannah, it seems to be thought that Charleston will still have the advantage, in a short line ; by both the Southern Railway and the Atlantic Coast Line, which can , hardly be offset by any inducements Savannah may offer for the trade of . the Bamberg section. As a result of the consideration of the scheme of financing the construe- . LIU 11 Ui Lilt? uyiliicv/iivu, a tive of one of the Savannah trade bodies will go to Bamberg and Ehr- | hardt to-morrow for the purpose of investigating the situation and making a report to the business men who have been asked to finance the road. It is said that $50,000 is needed to complete the construction of the line from Bamberg to Ehrhardt. The road has long since been surveyed. It is partly covered with ties, but more will be required and the rails , and other equipment will have to be ; supplied. A Charleston man who has extensive business interests in that section said to-day that Charleston need have . no fears of Savannah undermining > her trade and diverting any of it to Savannah by financing the construe- , tion of the road, even if this should be done. He could not see where Charleston's rival port hoped to se cure any advantage of the sort for , the reason that Charleston now en joys a good connection from Bamberg over the Southern Railway and ; the proposed road will connect Bam- , berg with Ehrhardt which is on the j Atlantic Coast Line and by the way of Green Pond, another satsifactorv , railroad connection to Charleston TiTill Vio Qocnrad As a matter of fact, the railroad v/ill develop the intervening section , between the county seat and Ehr- , hardt, and to this extent increase < trade possibilties, but he could not < see that this increased trade will go ^ to Savannah, on any grounds of sen- < timentality in road construction. ( The business belongs to the strongest , competitor, he said, and Charleston j will be found on the job.". ] r A Some girls must dread the idea of becoming old maids.

Darlington, Oct. 3.?Two hold-ups, one resulting in the murder of the victim, were committed on Florence street last night, shortly after nine j o'clock. Two strange negroes imme- { diately after 9 o'clock held up one : Elias Furman on the lower end of | Florence street, and at the point of a pistol relieved him of $25 in cash. I About ten minutes later they ap- j peared at the store of an old negro, I George Hanford, who was engaged in ] counting his cash, preparatory to ? locking up for the night. At the point of the pistol they demanded the money. They met with resistance from George, which resulted in his receiving a pistol shot wound in the back which went thrbugh the heart and J killed him instantly. The two robbers escaped then with what is supposed to have been about 550. This is the third hold-up by two negroes in this section in the past two weeks. About two weeks ago a reputable merchant of Cash, in Chesterfield county, just over the line from Society Hill, was cruelly beaten up and robbed of a large sura of money. Saturday night a week ago two strange negroes appeared in Darlington and held up a local hackman and took the hack from him which they drove to Florence and left there. A few days later he got his hack. ^ It is believed by authorities that the same two that took the hack were the guilty parties last night, and that possibly they are the same negroes that robbed the merchant in Chesterfield county. Sheriff D. P. Douglass, of Chesterfield was telephoned by authorities here this morning and he reached here in the early afternoon by auto mobile to aid iij. the search for the robbers. One negro has been arrested and put in jail and the officers are doing everything possible to apprehend the guilty parties. Ivory Smuggling in ^East Africa. Ivory smuggling is looked upon as a very serious crime in British East Africa, and this Is only as it should ' be for, in order to secure the ivory, the traders have to kill great numbers of elephants. The game preser- , ration laws particularly as regards i elephants, are "most severe, and woe I betide the man who is caught breaking the game regulations or in possession of illicit spoils of the chase. The smuggling of ivory, therefore, is treated in the same manner as = smuggling gems and clothing into 3 the United States, illicit diamond buying in South Africa or other forms of smuggling in England. The rigid laws, however, do not prevent the Arabs and Indians from indulging in an illegal trade in ivory on a large scale. Many a caravan of huge elephant tusks is brought miles and miles from the interior of Central Africa to Mombasa, and there sur reptitiously smuggled out of the country in dhows, or Arab sailing boats. It is the keen desire of every police and administrative official of the British East African government to * capture one of these ivory caravans; but, despite their efforts, many a consignment escapes their ^.gle eyes and finds its way* to the markets of Zanzibar and Bombay.?Wide World. Bandits Rob Kansas City Train. Fort Smith, Ark., Oct. 4.?Three masked men held up and robbed t northbound Kansas City Southern passenger train No. 4, three miles northeast of Poteau Oklahoma, tonight and after opening the two safes in the express car with nitroglycerin escaped with a large quantity of loot including registered mail. The train was brought to a halt ^ A? 1 j.t_? - mwK r\ f D6SLr JTOieail Dy lilt; cAjjyiiuauiuu. vi cuw air brakes. Simultaneously two of the robbers made their appearance in the express and baggage car, forced the express messenger, baggageman and conductor behind a pile of trunks and applied their explosive to the safes while the third bandit stood guard outside the car. When entrance was forced to the safes the men gathered the valuables in a gunay sa<ik and after intimidating the clerks in the mail car added all the registered mail in sight to their loot. Ihey escaped to the mountains. Passengers were not molested. Lost His Melon Crop. That Hoosier story about flavoring watermelons while they grow is old stuff, says the New York Tribune. Dut in Wayback Township, New Jersey, they tell of how Zeb. Turniptop .ried it years ago, by injecting, as he supposed, maple syrup into the melons. Next day he sold a few at the tillage store, and that night the j patch was raided and every melon, 'ipe or green, was stolen. And when 2eb. looked into the cupboard he discovered that instead of maple syrup le had used Jersey lightniing!
