Lynched.

•Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 26. A special from Ocala, Fla., says: Last Friday night a white man from Evinston named Brooks and a negro from Boardman named Benjamin broke into the house of Fred Jordan, a colored man, threw the baby on the floor, and both criminally assaulted the woman. The dastardly acts were unknown until Sunday afternoon, when a crowd of negroes assembled and took possession of the negro rapist, who confessed, and also said he would have killed the woman had not his accomplice prevented. The negro was carried to a lonely spot and hung.
