It Is the general belief here that this un pleasantness had moro to ilo with Foisytho's failure to secure the promotion than any other cause. The administration of tbo War department , while not disposed to bo paitic- ularly friendly with Oonoial Miles , did not dcslro to put a personal nffrout upon him , such as tbo promotion of Colonel Forsj the would have been considered. Today Colonel Forsjtbols the only cavalry ofllcer talked of In connection with the pro motion , nna vorv strong effoits will bo made In his behalf. But the artillerv olllcors Imvo long thought that they should bo locognl/od by the promotion of ono of their number to the grade of a general ofllcor.

Don Bruce , city marshal , was shot and fatally woundou by Charles Hawkins , n desperado , who was lynched by n mob n few hours later Hawkins was in a quarrel , when Bruce cnmo upon the scene and requested him to cease his disturbance. Hawkins then reached fo r his revolver and with nil o.itn tired three shots in succession nt Bruce , each bullet taking effect , Hawkins ilrcd twice inor.o , but missed , and started to run , witb Bruce fol lowing. When about 150 foot from the place of the shooting Bruce caught Hawkins , placed him under arrest and immediately toll. Ilo was removed to his residence. At H o'clock Bruce was vomiting blood nnd his case was considered hopeless. At 12 o'clock tonight a mob of 500 collected In the court house vard and proceeded to the Jail without n word. The sheriff demanded to know who was thoro. Ono of the mob said ho was n deputy marshal and said ho hud a prisoner. The sheriff then opened tbo door , when tbo men 'entered the parlor and soirod him by the tnroat. Ho was then tied hand nnd foot and a handkerchief was stuffed into his mouth. Ono of the mob secuied the keys of the jail nnd the bnriod doors were thiown open and guards placed at tbo ontiunco to keep back tbe ether prisoners. Hawkins was in a roar tell , nnd when tbo mob reached that portion of the Jail ho fell upon his fauo. placed his hands ever bis eyes and said : "Please let mo piay. " The committee did not wait , but proceeded to tlo his hands and adjust a noose about bis neck. In a moment six men came rushing out of the Jail , pulling their victim by the neck and drugging him on the ground Twenty foot from the jail door ntioo was found and tbo rope was thrown ever a limb and a second later Hawkins was suspended in midair. Eight shots were then fired in his body and the dreadful work was ovor. The mob Immediately dispoiacu and In llvo minutes every thing on tbo street was as quiet as a graveyard. At the hour of hanging Bruce was re ported as dying. It is bald that Hawkins deed was premedi tated. A week ngo tbo marshal at rested Hawkins' 12-yoar-old sun who had thiown stones through some Plato-glass windows , nnd Hawkins Donated that ho had como to tbo city prepared to get oven with Brnco. Ho bad sought troublti with several persons , but ull were afraid of him His father and son were loft in j ill unmolested by the mob , although each participated in the cowatdly shootine of the cltv marshal After Haw kins bad emptied hU revolver , which ho had boriowod for the occasion , bis son stopped up and banded him another well loaded , but of ( bis bo was disarmed by other ofllteis The father of the assassin , an old man , came up as the marshal started to fall , and going up to ttio dying man drew a club and was about to Atrlko him when a bystander caught htm. Tno mob , DOW over , lot him go on ac count of his ago und tbo boy on account of bis youth. Dm coroner , Clarence liruco , a brother of tbo marbhal , wus called to the south part of the county to bold an Inquest , and tomorrow will bold an Inquest on tbo body of his broth er's assassin , und will most likely bo depended - ponded upon to Investigate tbo cause of bis urothor'a death.

The oxcltomcnt ever the ahootlng of City Marshal Bruce and the lynching of Hawkins last night ruled nil oay long as high ns It did last night.
