A ROPE ENDS IT. A Desperado’s Career Brought • to an Abrupt Close. While Voder Bond* for Murder lie Wantonly Kills the Sheriff of Lee County, Ky., st Beattyville, and Is j Lynched. Lbxington, Ky., Oet. 15.—Oscar Mor- , ton was lynched ai Beattyville Sunday morning. The particulars as related ’by an eye witness are as follows: Morton, who was a desperate young fellow -about 23 years old, killed a man named Wilsofa in Breathitt county several months ago. He was out on bail and came to Beattyville-Saturday, where he drank considerable liquor. He did a good deal of talking about having killed one man and said he intended to kill another before he left' town. About 4 o’clock in the afternoon he concluded he would go to the fair which was being held art Beattyville. He had no ticket and! the gatekeeper refused to let j him in. This . made him very angry hr began talking loud, threatening to kill the keeper, when Sheriff William Simms stepped up and, asked him to be quiet. . ; Without a word of warning Morton drew a big revolver with each hand and began firing at the sheriff. The first ’ shot struck him in the heart. One went through his arm and the third lodged in his abdomen. The officer fell to the ground a corpse. At this juncture Jailer Cort Jones rushed up with {drawn pistol and demanded the surrender of. • the murderer. Instead of surrendering he tried to shoot the jailer, but fits pistol snapped twice and the jailer began shooting at him, one shot taking effect in the jawbone in the side and one in the leg. By this time .several persons had come to the jailer’s assistance, anfi Morton was overpowered and taken to jail. The body of the murdered man was taken to his home and prepared for burial. * e During the remainder of the evening threats of lynching were freely made, and when nigjjt came nearly every able-bodied nfyin in town had to assist in avenging the murder of • the sheriff. Tfae.news having -prt-ad ■ to the surrounding country, a score or ! more of the friends of the dead man I came.into town to assist in the taking (Toss of Morton. A little after midnight the mob gathered at a point not far from the jail, and after a quiet consultation the crowd, numbering about 150 persons, marched to the prison. The best of ' order was maintained. Not a Ipud word was spoken nor a firearm discharged. Arriving, at the’ jail the avengers were met with a peremptory refusal on the part of the jailer to give up the keys, but he was quickly over- ' powered and the keys were taken ' away from him. The doors were unlocked and MortoD wa® t 'id to come fortli. He did ■ not seem to lie alarmed, but went with 1 his captors without saying a word or littering protests. He was taken to a bridge which spans a little creek not far from the jail and a rope was ■ placed around his neck. The spokesman of the party asked him if he wished to pray ar» he aid that he did. He knelt down and in a perfectly clear voice prayed to God to forgive him for the sins he had committed. The prayer was very brief and when he arose tHe spokesman asked him why he had killed Sheriff Simms. He replied that he had no reason to give for his murderous act and repeated that he hoped God wpfald forgiye him. fir his sin. ■ ‘ < He.was then taken out on the bridge, the rope tied to the, end of the beam and the murderer of the sheriff was quickly launched into eternity. No shots were, fired iptb his body and it ' was left for the rope alone to do its duty.- ’ LOST IN THE HURRICANE. four Vessels Wrecked and Eleven Person! r< rish Off Sin Domingo. i . New York.

Nothing Worth Writing About. Some days to the newspaper makers are kind— When sensations occur by the score, And the public is eagerly waiting to find What happens by sea and by shore. Then, the heart of ye editor’s happy and glad,* For with news he is never without; But the world to his gaze is distressingly sad When there’s nothing worth writing about. Thripeople expect the poor newspaper man To fill his allotment of space; They’re sure if he wants to he certainly can. Though there's nothing worth while taking place. So when news is dull he his fancy must tax, And sometimes it happens, no doubt. That he has to imagine some things to be facts, • . When there's nothing worth writing about On days when there's nothing occurring the eye Os the reader is likely to fall .On pieces so prosy he asks himself why They ever were printed at all. But they' tare to be used as the fillers of space. Although they'd be better left out; And jingles like this one are given a place When there's nothing worth writing about. —Nixon Waterman, in CTiicago Journal. A Century to Come.
