A Terre Haute , InU , dispatch says
Qiat Justice swift and terrible was
acted out today to George Ward , the
wgro who murdered Miss Flnklcstcln ,
the school teacher , by shooting her
srith a shotgun and cutting her throat
resterday afternoon. In a few hours
4ftor his arrest an angry mob bat
tered down the doois of the jail ,
Iraggcd the miserable prisoner to the
wabash bridge , several squares away ,
m < l hanged him to the bridge. Not
content with the hanging , the crowd
&ufc & the corpse down and laying It on
i Band btr under the bridge , kindled
t lira and cremated it.
It was the lirst lynching that ever
( Centred in this city , and the day
tbounded in exciting incidents. Ward
as arrested at 10 o'clock at the car
< rorks , where he was employed , as a
otborer , and after being fully identified
Oy two citizens , made a confession.
Bis only excuse was that Miss Flukle-
ftein called him a "dirty nigger and
dapped him in the face.
MILITIA COMES TOO LATE.
( Sheriff Fiisig communicated with
flie governor , but the mob accom-
dlshed its work before the militia
could be ordered out. Being advised
f the threatening situation the gov-
iraor wired to Captain Thomas of
wmpany B to place Ms company , ful-
-4 y armed , in a position to be immedl-
itely ready for duty Before the sheriff
oukl call on the soldiers the prisoner
ras In the hands of the mob and was
lead before being taken to the place
tor the hanging.
The mob battered down the iron
Coors but were driven back by Jailor
D'Donnell , who fired over the heads
ef the mob. Deputy Sheriffs Cooper ,
Bessiek and Lee Forge were struck by
pattering shots and slightly injured ,
| > ut none of the crowd was hurt. A
ietuil of police arrived and tried to
disperse the crowd , but with poor suc-
es9. The crowd kept on growing and
the excitement increased.
BA.TTKKKD DOWN THE DOOUS.
At 12:30 another crowd of Irrestlble
cumbers attacked the jail , battered
{ own the doors , secuvd possession of
foe keys and entered the cell room. A
eleceof railroad timber twenty-five
et long and eight inches thick was
tscd as a battering ram. The side
4 xir was opened from the inside and a
rush was made by the mob. The ne
gro's cell was quickly opened and
Ward was dragged forth. He realized
that no mercy could be expected from
ttoe mob , and he fought with the des
ecrate ferocity of a beast at bay. He
< raa dragged out to the street , still
fighting with all his strength , but a
Mow from a heavy hammer felled him
la the ground.
A noose was quickjy adjusted o his
teak and all the mob started with its
flctlm toward the Wabash bridge ,
f he feeble resistance now made by
toe negro was soon quieted by the
avage blows given him. Face down
ward he was dragged through the
( Ireot to the bridge and across the
tough planking to the driveway to the
ftrawbndge. Many arc of the oppion
lhat the man was dead before the
teen * of the scene of the hanging was
leached. However , the rope wns
thrown over one of the Upper beams
tad the body drawn up.
DKOIDKD TO HUKK TUB BODY.
It had been swinging in that posi
tion but a short time when some one
Ouggested burning at the stake as the
Dearest approach to a proper expla-
Won of the awful crime. The sugges-
Bras adopted unanimously , and a fire
tras quickly built on the bank of the
liver , just south of the west end of
T { he bridge. Into the fire the body.
Bearing no sign of life , was thrown ,
ttnd faggots were piled upon it. The
Itake was omitted.
The lire had barely been started
vhen a man arrived with a can of tnr-
pen tine , which was foil to the eagei
fiames. After that combustible oil
wemed to flow si > ontaneou.sly toward
Che lire , and the flames leaped high ,
while the body of the wretched mar
tcred was rapidly consumed.

A Fire tn Wyoming "Ml no Clultui

'
CnEVKNNC , Wyo. , Feb. 27. Tlio'
worst disaster In the history o coal
minln-ln Wyoming since the Almy
horror , eight years ago , occurred at
Dlamondsvillo last night when tire
hroke out In mine No. 1 , of the Dla-
mondvllle Coal and Coke Co. , which
ws attended with great loss of life
ind destruction of pioperty. Twenty-
itx minors perished and their charred
todiestiro still in the mine. I
The lire was discovered shortly nf-
t r the night shift commenced work.
Its cause is not known but the llamca
nadc such progress that only one man
escaped from the two entries in which
it was conllncd. Ills name Is John An-
crson , and ho was frightfully burned
in running the gauntlet of the llamcs.
I lo Is unable to give any account of the
ccident other than that ho was sud-
Icnly confronted by a wall of lire and
.moke and wrapping his head in an
ivcrcoat ho ran in the direction of the
itmin entrance. The llrst Intimation
the miners In the other entries had of
i lire was when Anderson came rush
ing into the upper level , his clothing
in llamcs. Ho fell unconscious and
was carried to the mouth of the mino.
KO POSSIBILITY OF UKSOUK.
The alarm was sounded and hun
dreds of miners at work in the mines
and on the outside rushed to the res
cue of the imprisoned comrades. The
tires had by this time made such
progress that it was impossible to en
ter the rooms of the llames. The en
tire night was spent in confining ttio
tire to the two entries , and tills mornIng -
Ing it was necessary to seal them up
to prevent the flames from spreading
to other parts of the mine. This step
was only decided upon after all hope
of saving the lives of the men had
been abandoned.
The scenes at the mouth of the mine
during the night and yesterday were
heartrending. , Relatives and friends
of , the entombed miners rushed to the
m'ine , frantically waving their hands
imfl p.pvlnotn t.lm tnlno ntllHnla nnrl
.
miners to sive their dead ones. Many
of the women and children weresllght-
ly injured In the crowd and by falling
over obstacles in the darkness.
Dlamondvillc has been the scene of
a number of disastrous lines since the
coal mines were opened there ten
years ago , but the conflagrations were
never attended with serious loss of
life. Almost all the mines at Dla-
mondville are owned by the Oregon
Short Line railroad. The output of
mine No. 1 , is about 175,000 tons of
coal per annum and upward of 7000
miners are employed. The victims are
nearly all Italians and Finlanders.
T1HKTY-F1VK ENTOMHED.
As nearly as can be learned there
are about thirty-live men entombed.
The lire is now supposed to have been
started through a spark dropping on
old waste and oil in a room in which
they were stored.
As soon as the lire was discovered by
a boy driver , mimed James Hetsoii , ho
bravely ran and told the men who
were inside. Richard Fern , fifteen
years old , also ran through the levels
Kos. 0 , 7 and 8 , and notltled the men
and many were saved through his
courageous action.
It is supposed that many of tlioseyet
in the mine could have been saved hud
they understood or heeded the iirst
warning of dan er. Seven brave men
headed by Mine Foreman Grillln , made
several desperate attempts to reach
the men through the lower level , but
their efforts were in vain , four of the
Bevon being knocked down by damp ,
and thu others being compelled to
carry them to frcsli air.
Just fourteen months ago yesterday
this ill-fated mine took lire. At that
time the fire was desperately fought
nnd oveicomo by brave men headed by
Superintendent Sneddun , That tire
was far greater than tills , but this one
has cost more lives , if reports be true ,
a.s given at the mouth of the mine yes
terday by men who worked there.
