Russell KAK.Jjn. 14 A mob
of about twenty men entered the jail
; last.night took out J. G. Burton Will-
lam Gray and his son John Oray ana
hung the trio to a small railroad bridge
H short distance east of the. depot in
eJuscity. About midnight the resi-
cj -u nortK nnrt nf town heard
uuia wi i vi -" -
a party of fifteen or twenty horsemen
come in from the north wh6 left .their
horses at the stock yards where plans
were arranged and the mob proceeds
to the jail. A few citizens who hap.
pened to.be out late noticed the sus-
picious actions of the mob but were
powerless to thwart the purpose of
such a determined band of armed men
and watched the proceedings from a
safe distance. No officers were aroused
or even were aware of what was going
on untilearly this morning so quiet
werethe actions of the mob. Orders
were given by signs and. obeyed with-
out one word being spdkeh.
The jail is a smail wooden building
surrounded by an eight foot board
fence. In the jail .were two steel cells
in which the prisoners were confined.
- Guards were placed about the jail and
it Was but the work of a moment for
the balance of the mob to gain en-
trance to the jail building The
masked mob began to' break off the
locks of the jail with sledge hammers.
Burtonwas the first one taken out' and
was proceeded with to the spot se-
lected for the lynching and left under
. the guard the balance of the party re-
turning and joining the guards who
.- were watching the jail. The two Gays
were then taken and marched to the
bridge where Burton had been left.
Ropes were placed' around their necks
and each was given a' chance to
speak. Burton said he could tell lots
; about his connection with stealing cat-
tlerselling whiskey and other things
but when askeoVto tell about the Din
ntngvmurderhe said kNo.sir." Young
.Gay made a .prayer and said Bur-
L ton had killed Dinning with an ax..
Ljld Uay stated: "We were led into
3 ..
IU15."
The leader then clapped his bands
three times and quick as a flash all
three were pushed off the bridge. The
Gays cvidcntally died from strangula-
tion but the noose on Burton's neck
I slipped around up over his chin and
he was heard to breath heavilv for a
I'moment when several .shots were fired
into his body. Kach of the others
'also had a bullet sent into him. The
mob then left as .quietly as it came
'going north. The presumption is that
the persons were from the northern
part of the county the home of the
criminals and the scene of the murder.
The crime for which the men were
lynched was the killing of Fred Din-
ning in July last on the Burton place
aboat twenty miles northeast of this
city. Inquiries regarding a draft paya
ble to Dinning and his mysterious dis-
appearanc led to an investigation and
arrest of Burton who implicated the
other two men. Etch made a confes.
sibn which led to the finding of Din-
ning's body buried In a field near the
scene of the murder.

been reccivedfrom parties inTennes-:
see and Mississippi asking about " lots
they have- purchased in the Cherokee
City Oklahoma. Investigation re-
vealed the fact that a couple Of sharks
have been victimizing hundreds of peo-
ple all through the south by selling
them lots in Cherakee City which they
represent to be the coming great city
of Oklahoma. Cherokee City is in
fact a city on paper alone located dn

Meyers of the firm of D. H. & L. Mey-
ers of this city last night about 2
o'clock shot and instantly killed V. A.
Blinkley of Columbus Tex. and mor-
tally wounded A H- Jones of Mend
ian. Miss The difficulty took place
in the. house of two women of ilf .re
pute. It appears that the women had'
repeatedly requested uinkley and Jones
10 leave but they refused whereupon
Meyers dressed and coming into the
parlor demanded that they go at 'once
and being refused fired upon them
with 'the above results. Binkley was
shot while sitting in a chair the ball
severing the femoral artery; and death
followed almost instantly. After shoot-
ing Binkley Meyers turned to Jones
who he found crouching in -a corner
and shot him through the bowels. His
wounds are considered fatal. After
the shooting Meyers in comyauy with
one of the women Went to a livery sta-
ble secured a buggy drove to the res-
idence ol Sheriff Bickett'and surrender-
ed to him. The facts of the killing
developed at tne tuquest trial which
was held to-day the women and Jones
being the witnesses. Meyers refused
to make any statment in regard to the
.matter. Meyers and the two women
are in jail waiting the action of the ex-
amination trial which will be held to-
morrow when new developments are
looked for as Meyers is expected to
testify. t ..

: a likelihood that there will be sonvW
u juble growing out of the strike oftjiei
colored longshotemo.n on the Mallory
dock. The men refused to accept a
reduction of 5 cents an hour on their
scale of wages and declined to go to
work Saturday morrijng when the
steamer Comal came in from New
York and was ready to discharge her
cargo. A gang of twenty-five Was se-
cured to take the places of the strikers
and worked all Saturday afternoon.
The strikers did not molest the men on
Saturday but to-day there were two.
or three collissions between the strik-
ers and the men who had taxen their
places the result of which two of the
new men weis badly used up by the
strikers Last evening; it was. report-
ed that there was hkcly to be trouble
this morning when the new men report-
ed for work. The police have been
advised of the situation and will be on
hand to protect the men who are will
ing to work at the reduced scale and
prevent violence on the part of the
strikers. The officers state that the
leaders in the movement to Interfere

Jal to the Dallas .News.
Was uton' Jan 17 Congressman Bar
rows who'ii leading the 'debate on the tariff
qu&tlon created a reat jdeal of interest
amonn the Texan to-day in making a few re-
I nialks oh the proposition of Mr'. Wilson to
pntO the operation of the tana bin. as lar as
free wool was concerned till the 1 st of August.
He descaiitedon the 'opposition' to free wool
throughout the counUy'and offered many pro-
testsand letters against a change in the tariff
on'that article.
He kept back for the last a protest sent
him by citizens of West Texas against are-
duction in the present tariff on wool. The
correspondent of the News examined this
prates!' which briefly related bow wool had
fjfllen in prices-within the last year because of
the-threatened reduction -of the tariff on it.
Now 200000 people of West Texas were
directly dependent on the wool interesti and
if wool were put oa the free list 100000 of
these would have to seek a living and occupa-
paqon elsewhere. Mr. Burrows said this
parjer was "signed by 1 10 persons who gave
their occupation and their postoffices. An
cxafuinaUon showed the signers declared
iheliselves' democrats republicans third
prijftelipoprit
Everj occupation and office was repiesented
in the list from school teacheis to justice of-
the peace-.
This parade of the petitions brought Mr
Kilgore Wilis feet who suggested that it was
unnecessary to read the protest as all of theni
of his kind were alike.
Mr. Burrows' said this ptolest was not of
the kind designated by Mr. Kilgore
Mr. Crain then took the floor and made
one of the best speechesqf the debate. He
said he did not know anything about thcvpb-
litical character of those who were on tRe
protest as the singers principally resided in
thesdistricts represented by his colleague Mr.
Paschal That gentleman had telegraphed
to a reliable man in his district to investi-
gate the subject.and ascertain the status of
the signers; This gentleman reported that
not 5 percent oflhe signerswere democrats.
Mt Crain then produced a letter from the
mayor of San Aogelo in which it was .stated
that the gentleman who made the inquiry for
Mr. Paschal had submitted to 'him the mayor
the telegram from Mr. Paschal and his res-
ponse. In reference to the protest in the
hands pfIr. Burrows-the mayor says:
"I fully concur in all he has staled to
Mr. Paschal and I am more indignant if
possible than he at die attempted misrepre-
sentation of the Mfool gnwers. Not even an
inconsiderabje minority of the signers are
democrats and they WercJ.moyed by purely
$elfih considerations and want all lor them-
selves. I represent the democrats of this section-when
1 say that we are. willing to frbide
by the Texas delegation in congress know-
ing they will do the best for us."
Mr Crain said lie had for eight years rep
resented one pf the largest districts in the
United States and many of his present constit-
uents are wool growers. He had voted for
free wool whenever he had a chance and
would do so again and to-night he. had
voiced the sentiments of his old anil new con-
stituents. In a speech ha had made at Lar

He said that at this rate by June We would
be behind about $70000000. He announces
that will not sell the bonds at a rate lower than
would net the purchaser above 3 per cent ictcK
est though he will have to give 5 per cent nnder
the act of 1875. If he sells these.bonds a frac-
tion over 1. 17 then this will amount to a 3
per cent interest rate. He will not sell for a
lower price than this. There is great diver-
gence of opinion about the matter. One
side declares that the issuance of the bonds is
bankruptcy and a panic while others say that
Wall street wins again.

Washington Jam. 16. Now that Horn-
blower was rejected as a justice of the supreme
court by the senate every politician and news-
paper man in Washington is speculating as to
name of the man whom the president will now
send in for the place. One of the reasons given
outjby the opposition to Homblower why he was
rejected was. that the New York senators were
not consulted in the matter of his selecUon for
the place and that this conduct on the part of
Mr. Cleveland was a blow at every senator.
Arguing Irom this it is said that the president
will not name another man from"New York for
the place because he will not confer with. Sena-
tor Hill and Murphy. Their crowd is against
Cleveland and the Cleveland crowd is againsf
them. If he appoints an anli-Hill-Murphy man
he cannot be confirmed and. he is not likely to
appoint an anti-Cleveland man to-the place.
As all 'New Yorkers are on one side or the.
other thert are good reasons to' believe that
New Yorkwill not get the place.
Am&nginan names rjieTHtoned for the place

popular that is there are more people who be-
lieve he will be appointed than believe any
oilier man will be appointed jray is a strong
friend of the president and has stood with him
in all the fights in the senate. 1 1 c is nearly 54
years of age and extremely vigorous; But it
Is not believed that he would accept the place.
He may prefer the active jvaifiire of the legisr
lativebody to the unexcitable precincts of the
supreme court. No One knows anything about
the matter. Itis said on one side that the pres-
ident is verywroth and on the other that he is
not at all disconcerted orangered at the action
of the senate. Tolay was cabinet day and
hehasuot been seen by the outsiders and there-
fore no one know anything about it- It is
