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.

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. iWSBflger Chicago and the East. rs uoincreast for business, will natuTeJly gravitate to Chicago as the great commercial center.

Leo Borowiak of Columbus came to the city yesterday and said that a fifteen year old girl named Clara Jvozlowski, of Duncan, had been spirited away from homo by one Otto Korth and that there was a reward for the capture of the pair of fugitives. They had left home in a buggy and wero driving northeast. Accordingly Sho walter secured a team and started to ward Scribner hoping to intercept them and place the kidnaper under arrest. The trail was soon struck and at 3 o'clock this morning Showalter and Bo rowiak had traced tho fugitives to their lair. They wero found stopping at a farm house about four miles southwest of Scribner and were occunvinir tho same room. Korth was arrested and taken to Columbus, where Korth will have a hearing. All the parties are of Polish descent. Tho girl is handsomo nnd as near as can be ascertained the two men in the case are rival lovers. Korth stated that he was intending to marry tho girl today but that her parents wanted her to marry Borowiak, for whom she cared nothing. Fine job work done at The Jouknal ofiice.
