NEtiJluHS LYNCHED.
FIVE FOUND HANGING TO LIMBS OF
TREES NEAR GREENVILLE, ALA.
Charged With the Murder of "Watts Mur
phy, a Younjj Man of Prominence One
of the Negroes Confessed They Burned
Murphy's Vody.
St. Louis, April 22. A special to The
Republic from Greenville, Ala., save:
Two nieu and three women were
lynched near here. The five were ar
rested near Bntler Springs, charged
with the murder of Watts Murphy, a
young man of prominence. They were
John Rattler, Zeb Caley, Martha
Greene, Alice Greene and Mary Deaue.
Another negro man who was implicated
made his escape. The murder of young
Murphy was most brutal. One of the
negroes implicated confessed and an ex
amination of the place where they
burned the man's body revealed the
teeth, liver and heart, which the re
ports say, for some unknown reason,
failed to burn. The confession was
made by Rattler, who implicated the
others. Butler Springs is 1G miles from
here. A posse of men, who had charge
of the five prisoners, left there to bring
them to jail here for safekeeping.
About y o'clock Sunday morning at
a lonely part of the road the party was
suddenly surrounded by an armed body
of men who seemed to spring from both
sides of the road. The posse was cov
ered with Winchesters and under pain
of instaut deatli was halted. Reports
say there wero about 100 men in the at
tacking party, all heavily armed and
cool and brave. They made short work
of it. Taking the five negroes they tied
their hands and then they were taken
oue at a time and were hanged to limbs
of trees that lined the road. The five
bodies were found hanging there Sun
day morning by church goers. The
affair has created a great deal of excite
ment here, but it is claimed there was
no doubt whatever of the guilt of all of
the victims of the lynching.
BOTH DIED OF STRANGULATION.
The Misses Lauiont and William of San
FrancUco Were Choked to leatli.
Sax Francisco, April 22. The police
are still busy in picking up the threads
and weaving their ner of circumstantial
evidence in the Emanuel Baptist church
cases, so as to leave no weak mesh
through which the accused can escape,
for they believe they have the murderer
in the person of W. H. T. Durrant. It
is said now that they will make an en
deavor to try Durrant first on the charge
of murdering Miss Lamout as the evi
dence in that case is said to be much
stronger against the prisoner than in
the case of the killing of Miss Williams.
Referring to the rumor that Blanche
Lamout was lured to the church by
Durrant 's promise to jierform a crimi
nal operation on her to save her from
disgrace and that when she shrieked in
agony he caught her by the throat to
stifle cries and choked her to death, Dr.
Barret, the city physician, stated the
rumor was without foundation. He
says he took especial care in the mat
tor of the autopsy and ho is satisfied
that no criminal operation was per
formed. He also states that both young
women died of strangulation and that
the knife wounds in Marion Williams'
body were not the cause of death.
Among the gruesome exhibits in the
case is one that was quietly taken to
police headquarters and locked up. This
exhibit is a shoe, and on its sole are dark
spots that were made when the wearer
stepped into a pool of blood that came
from the body of Miss Williams. The
shoe is the property of Rev. J. George
Gibson, pastor of the church, and it
was found in his study in the edifice
just after the finding of the body of
Hiss Lamout. This statement has
created a sensation and gives those who
have been hinting that Rev. Gibson
may be the guilty man, an opportunity
to emphasize their suspicions. How
ever, the police do not seem to see in it
anything that implicates the pastor, for
they argue that the person who killed
the two girls was familiar with the
church, must have known the shoes were
there and may have worn them in his
bloody undertaking.
Ardinorc Fire-Swept.
Ardxore, I. T., April 21. Thursday
Ardmore could boast of being the largest
and most prosperous city in the Indian
Territory. Early Friday morning the
entire business portion of the city was
wiped out by fire and now 150 business
houses, among which were many two
and 8-story bricks, are a smouldering
mass of ruins. The aggregate loss en
tailed is variously estimated at between
$500,000 and $800,000, with the latter
figures probably coming near the cor
rect amount. The insurance will foot
np to but one-third of the loss. The fire
started at 1 a. m. in the large livery
barn of Harper & Cecil on Caddo street.
It spread with marvelous rapidity and
within less than an hour's time nearly
every business house on that street was
in ruins.
Ex-Consul Waller Lodged Iu Jail.
Marseilles, April 22. John L.
Waller, formerly American consul at

sentenced to 20 years imrisonment on

Interest of the Hovas, was taken from

NOT DUE TO SCARCITY OF CATTLE.
Beer Prices Stay Up, Although Lire Stock
Quotations Are Lotrtr.
Washington, April 21. Secretary
Morton, when asked in regard to the
press dispatches from Chicago to ths
effect that his agitation on the subject
of high prices has led to a reduced con
sumption of beef and a consequent
break in the markets for live stock, said
that so far as he-had been advised there
had been no break in the price of beef.
He added: "If the supply and de
mand is to have any influence which is
being exerted why should the price of
beef continue high and the price of cat
tle suddenly lower? It is now stated
that Chicago and other slaughtering
points will soon have all the cattle
needed, and the result will be that
prices will begin to tumble, but we see
no indication that the price of beef will
tumble. Not long since the large packers
were claiming the price of hides was uu
remunerative in this country owing to
the competition with hides imported
from other countries, but with the fall
ing off in the receipts of rattle the price
of hides has suddenly !-. a marked up.
It is now plain that the Cnieago pack
ers have more power over the markets
than has generally been supposed."
GOOD WINTER WHEAT PROSPECTS
BlUsourl and Illinois Make the Best Show
ing, While Kansas Is Very Poor.
Toledo, O., April 21. During the
past four days C. Aiken & Co. have re
ceived replies from 4,292 reliable grain
dealers and millers, covering every im
portant wheat couuty in the six princi
pal winter wheat states, which raise
two-thirds of that crop iu the United
States. Present pro?pects for the grow
ing crop is very favorable. Seven hun
dred and 21 dealers report prospects ex
cellent; 1,523 good; 1,056 an average
crop; 428 the rate below average; 202
poor, and 2S0 for half a crop or less.
Missouri and Illinois show the be3t;
Ohio and Indiana promise over au aver
age; Michigan a trifle below, and Kan
sas a very poor crop. Prospects now
average about the same as a year ago,
but the crop is not quite asforward.
Acreage is a trifle smaller than a year
ago. Kansas reports about .half of the.
acreage sown there was winter killed or
has been abandoned. Interior mills and
warehouses have much less wheat than
a year ago. Farmers also have
less wheat than a vear ago.
