KIU.EO W1III.K DOING HIS IH11

KANSASCITV, Mo., March 15.—Deputy Sheriff Williams, of Tuuey county, iu charge of Wife Murderer liright, was shot dead in the courtroom at Foray the Saturday night by a mob that was trying to take the prisoner. Bright was lynched by the mob, but owing to the distance of Forsythe from railroad the details of the crime did not come out until Monday. Taney county is the seat of the recent liald Knob outraged, and the factions still exist.

Feeling Against (ho Mol.

There is very strong feeling ovor the killing of Williams, and some of the mob may be killed before another day passes. (I flicer Williams had not drawn a weapon when shot, being engaged in tho mere task of removing his prisoner from the room, trying to get out of a door before the mob would reach him.

I!rlj

ht'a Crime.

liright. the man lynched, lived in the northwestern part of the county and was exceedingly jealous of his wife. One morning she started toward the spring for a bucket ot water, liright, gun in hand, left the house and a moment later the children heard a shot. Bright returned shortly and said that Mrs. liright hud been shot. He again left the house and did not return. Tho children found the dead body of their mother and gave the alarm.

After tho Murderer.

The farmers hurried to the scene of the tragedy. Quickly a party of pursuers took the trail of the fugitive uxoreide. At each mountain pass the parly of hunters received new recruits. Soon the woods were full of firmed men, on horseback and on foot, armed with Winchesters, shotguns and revolvers, bent on capturing the murderer at whatever cost The pursuit was swift and sure. Every ravine and cliff where the fleeing criminal might hide was searched. No terror-stricken fugitive from justice could escape that ariny of men who pressed so resolutely on his heels. The murderer was run down and captured, taken to Forsyth and lodged in jail.

Sought Verifi-owncc.

Saturday a crowd of unusual size gathered at Forsythe to hear the preliminary trial of Bright. The expression was clearly written on the faces of many of the citizens of the county, who rcmnined in town all day. Deputy Sheriff Williams had the prisoner In charge.

The courtroom was crowded with interested listeners, aud the preliminary hearing was progressing quietly when a mob of about 100 men, all weil armed and with determination to avenge the wife murderer's crime written on every face, surrounded the building in which court was being held. A deputation twenty-five strong was sent into the courtroom for the prisoner. As they made their appearance with arms drawn a panic ensued, and most of the spectators, anticipating trouble, boat a hasty retreat.

Demanded tho I'rUoncr.

The spokesman of the deputation demanded that the prisoner be turned over to the men. Williams refused and tried to reason with them, urging them to allow the law to take its course. The justice of the peace before whom the hearing was being held also pleaded with them to withdraw and to respect the law. The deputation, however, "was dead to reason and insisted that the prisoner be turned over to the impromptu court outside the court room. Still Williams declined to give up his man, who all this time looked as if he knew his hour had come.

A ltravo Mini Killed.

Finally the delegation, spurred on by shouts of impatience and cries of "Hang him!" "Lynch him!" from the mob without, made a rush for liright aud his guard. Williams drew a brace of revolvers with which lie was armed and was about to lire when a ritie shot rang out and he fell dead at the prisoner's feet. The shot had penetrated his heart.

Hlifflit Lynched.

The rest of the work of the 1110b was quickly done. liright was quickly seiacd and dragged out of the courtroom. A rope was unceremoniously placed around his neck. One end ,vas swung over the limb of a pine tree on the mountain side within half a mile of the courthouse and lie was swung up. His body was riddled with bullets.

CunroHUnd to the Murder.

liefore dying he confessed to having taken his wife from home last Monday aud tying her to a tree while he deliberately aimed and shot lior to death within hearing of his little children, four of whom were under (1 years of age. The youngsters are without a relative this side of Kentucky.

Kxcitement Kuna llifrii.

Taney county is wild with excitement over the killing of Williams. Ho was a young man well known in Taney and adjoining counties. Nine of the twelve men that first came to the jail were well identified. Most of the mob carao from the neighborhood where the woman was murdered. This last killing makes a total of seventy-two people killed iu Taney county since the war.

A In 1'urfluit.

Monday morning a large posso of men storted *out from Forsythe under the guidance of Sheriff Cook to arrest the nine men who were identified in the mob. The posse went up on a small creek, known as Roach, where liright killed his wife, as most of tho men who wero recognized were from that section of Taney county.

BURIED UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

Kenl:ill, or Kentucky. WASHINGTON, March 15.—Tho congressional funeral of the late liepresentative Kendall, of Kentucky, from which the committee lias just relumed, result in an extraordinary tale of suffering and exposure. The committee appointed to escort the Injdy consisted of Senators Warren and I'usco ami Representatives ,lohn )i. Fellows, of iS'ew York, liclknap, Pavntcr, Gillespie and Long.

The funeral party arrived at Moorehead, Ky.. which With the last railroad station on their route. Their final destination WIIS .10 inilos away, between Moorehead and Liberty. There are no roads" traversing the mountains, nor are there any bridges crossing the innumerable rivers unl streams. The weather was intensely cold and the streams wore swollen. liefore the hearse and the wagons containing the committee had fairly started Representative Follows returned to Moorehead. A few miles farther on Senator Warren, of Wyoming, succumbed to cold and exhaustion and was left in a mountaineer's lint to await the party's return. One river, the Yokum, crossed the path of the party forty-two times. Kach time it was necessary to ford the icy stream and there was danger at times that the coffin would be washed away. The members of th# party tlnring these eighty-four fords whiqji it was necessary to make going and returning were frequently up to their waists in the chilly water. The provisions were frozen and the party had nothing to eat for a day. When going down hill it was necessary to tie a rope around the hearse to keep it fropi plunging down the sleep declivities, and this rope was trailed to the rear so that the members of the party might take it in hand and steady the plunging hearse. When tl\e destination was finally reached late the following evening the hearse was entirely wrecked and the cofiln rested upon the ajcle-trees. The cofiin itself was so badly broken that the corpse, was exposed.

RAWFUL

FAILURE AND SUICIDE.

•Itftoob lioolini, oT Dcnvfir, Tnko* Do** of JPolfiou—lloHvy Forgorioft l)i*covrr«d. DENVEH, Col., March 15.—A sensational failure and suicide occurred here Monduy. About noon attachments aggregating 575,000 were served on the wholesale liquor firm of .lacob lioehm & Co., of this city, whose liabilities, it is thought, will foot up to S150,000, there being many other attaclimennts not yet served. Some of the creditors are eastern business men, although it is impossible at present to learn their names. When the attachments were served and the sheriff took possession .lacob lioehm immediately went to his room and took a dose of poison. He WHS found several hours afterward dead in bod. It transpires that lioehm is a forger and had forged numerous warehouse certificates and obtained goods on their account iu Denver and elsewhere. When the full details of his transactions are learned they will probably show that his forgeries amount to a very high figure.

PREPARING TO HOARD GOLD.

Reports made to the comptroller of the currency from the various money centers of the United Slates, and particularly in tho east, indicate au intention upon the part of the banking institutions of the country to hoard gold in anticipation of the enactment of a silver coinage law. Many of the bank examiners in their reports state that officials of the banks do not hesitate to declare that the passage of a silver bill by congress will immediately put gold at a premium of from 20 to 25 per cent., and they propose to be prepared for it.

SALISBURY IS SILENT.

.tM(l«*ty *1 nn llft'Wury "I'sH'lir* on the r*vt nl lh« ngll«h I'rr»ni«*r Iriltntinn.

W \sitiNn ION, March 15.—'The otlieiaU .if the state department said Monday that no word had b?en re-, eeived trom Lord Salisbury in reply to rrcM.lcnt Harrison's communication cabled to Mr Julian I'aunccfotc last Tuesday protesting atrainst the refusal of the ISritisli premier to continue the modus vivendi in Uehring sea and de-. daring that the United Slates would defend its rights there with ull the resources at command. The state department officials added that there was no change in the situation.

There are indications of growing anxiety aud irritation on the part of the president and his advisers at Lord Salisbury's, delay. His silence, it is felt here, is purely designed to defeat the very object to be accomplished by a renewal of the mo,lus pendinc arbitration.

The dispatch from United Stales Consul Myers at Victoria, already published, showing that sealers are clearing every day and that they are leparting earlier than usual in order to avoid official notice •diows that every hour of delay by Lord Salisbury counts against the interests of this country by increasing the number of Canadian poachers who are intercepting aud destroying the herds of seals as they come northward from the Pacific on their way to Uehring sea The president (rave his serious utIcntioii to the lichring sea Munition

Monday and held lon^ conference with Attorney General Miller, Senator Sherman, chairman of the committee on foreign relations Gen Foster, of tho state department, anil Mr. I'helps, ex-minister to ICngland. who conducted the ltchriug sea negotiations under President Cleveland.

The senate executive session Monday spent an hour in the discussion ol the Uehring sea question. The matter came before the senate in the shape of a message from the president in reply to a resolution requesting further information as to the effect of pelagic sealing. The president sent extracts from official reports of the Uelirir.g sea commissioners showing that, contrary to Lord Salisbury's statement, the

P.rilish commissioners hud conceded that the seals had diminished in number by the hand of man. which, ot course, meant largely through the acts of the poachers iu killing the seals at sea. The message was laid before the senate and Mr. Sherman moved its reference to the comuiittcc oil foreign relations. Hut the senator-, wished in hear Hit' extracts inclosed be the president and defeated the motion.

The matter was read in, full and then followed a debute very similar in character to those which occurred last week. The point of difference was to be seen in "the strengl 1^ shown by th sentiment favorable to the protection ol the claimed rights ol the United State? in Uehring sea bv all the resources oi the government, pending arbitration. Short speeches were made by senatorSliermun, llutler and Morgan of the committee, on foreign relations, and by Senators I'latt, White and others. At their conclusion the papers were referred to the committee ou foreign relations.
