Five Prisoners Shot and Strung Up by
a Determined Mob.
ALL ACCUSED OF ROBBERY.
Four Hundred Men Stormed the Versailles
Jail. In the Yard of Which Their
Victims \Vere Executed—Gov-
ernor Mount Incensed.
Versailles, Ind., Sept. 16.—A mob of
400 men lynched five men here.
They were Lyle Levi, Bert Andrews,
Clifford Gordon, William Jenkins and
Hiney Shuler.
These men. were in the little jail in
the courthouse yard, whichwas under
the charge of one man, a. deputy sheriff.
The mob appeared at the. jail at an
early hour. Many of its members, in-
cluding the apparent leaders, were on
horseback. , ‘

None was masked or made any at-
tempt to conceal his identity.
Among them were to be recognized
a number of prominent citizens of
Milan, Sunman and other places in Rip-
. ley county.
The citizens of that county have re-
‘ 'cently been greatly aroused by a sepies
, of burglaries which have generally been
_ attributed to tramps.
! I The burglars in many cases offered
indignities to women whom they found
in the farmhouses.
The five men“ who were hanged by the
: mob today had been arrested during the
' past week, and were being held for
, trial.
I When taken from the jail they were
informed that they had but a. moment
in which to make their peace with their
. God. ,
None availed himself of the chance to
'pray, but all pleaded innocence of the
crimes with which they were charged.
Short Shrift For Victims.
Then ropes were thrown over the
I limbs of trees in front of the courthouse,
, and the men were strung up and left to
‘ swing until the dawn of day.
They were not cut down until the ar-
rival of the coroner from Osgood.
After the members of the mob were
assured that their victims were dead
they quietly dispersed, and few people
in the town knew of the awful tragedy
until after their usual hour for rising.
The mob on horseback called out Jail-
er Kenan, who, upon refusing to give up
the keys, was overpowered. The mob
soon pushed its way into the cellrooms,
and in the impatience of the moment
first fired on the five prisoners and then
dragged them to a tree a square from
the jaildoor and hanged them.
Andrews and Gordon had already
been wounded, having been shot several
times while attempting to rob a store
at Correct last Saturday night.
Shuler was in jail 'for attempted bur~
glary, and Levi and Jenkins had just
been indicted by the grand jury for rob~
bery. They had failed to give bond and
were put in jail last evening.
It is thought that Levi and Shuler
were both dead from shots fired by the
mob when taken out of the jail.
The bandages that were on the
wounded men were found laiter along
the street, where they had been torn off
as the men were dragged along.
Lyle Levi was an old soldier and bore
on his face scars of wounds received
during the civil war while fighting for
the Union.
The Iynchers all came from a dis-
tance, most of them presumably from
the neighborhood of Correct, where the
two men were arrested Saturday night.
Governor Mount Incensed.
Indianapolis, Sept. 16. —— Governor
Mount has sent the following to the
sheriff of Ripley county:
lynching that has occurred in your
county. I further direct that you pro-
ceed immediately with all the power
parties guilty of participation in the
murder of the five men alleged to have
been lynched. Such lawlessness is in-
tolerable, and all of the power of the
state,_ if necessary, will be vigorously
employed'for the arrest and punishment
of all parties implicated.”
The Cause of the Lynching.
Louisville, Sept. 16.—For four or five
years the farmers of \the county have
been the victims of a. lawless gang who
lived an outlaw existence, robbing in-
discriminately and sometimes committ-
ting graver crimes. Farmers would
come into town with a. bunch Cf cattle
or load of farming groducts, and next
morning they would blelfound robbed and
beaten by the roadside. Old German
farmers have been visited, and both men
and women have been tortured to make
them give up their savings. Aged Ger-
man women have been forced to stand
upon a redhot stove in an effort to com-
pel them to disclose the hiding place of
some treasure in the house. These dep-
Arrests have been made, but the guilty
parties have covered up their lawless-
ness, and it was seldom that conviction
followed.
During the past week robberies had
increased alarmingly. -
0n last Saturday word was received
Bros., at Correct, Ind., ten miles from
here, was to be entered.
The information was given by one of
the gang’s confederates, who had been
.lnder suspicion. Sheriff Henry Bushing
arranged that his informant should ac,
company them, and, securing five dep-
uties, they went to the place, where the
,men were arrested. This crime is
which caused the lynching.
A‘Murderer’s Liberty Short Lived.
Atlanta, Sept. 16.—Edward C. Flana-
gan, who murdered three persons a lit-
tle over a year ago and who was sen-
tenced to be hanged next week, escaped
from the De Kalb county jail at Deca-
tur at an early hour. When his keepers
brought his breakfast at 7:30 o’clock.
they found only a vacant cell and a
note. He was afterward found secreted
In a room on the premises. ‘
Ryan Will Fight McCoy, If—
Syracuse, Sept. 16.—In re-ply.to Mc-
Coy's challenge Tommy Ryan said to-
day: “I will sign articles to meet Mc-
, Coy at any time that he wants to, but
I [ will not meet him at 158 pounds, which
' Is the weight that he insists on, but a

" When a boy I fell froma tree striking

back trouble, and the life on the water
with its hardships added their share,
until I found backache was more or
less a steady thing, coming on from
time to time. I did not understand
that it came» from the kidneys, but
reading that Doan’s Kidney Pills cured
backache, I got a box at Glendening’s
drug store, and was surprised to find
how quickly they acted. They simply
cured me and that is all there is to it.

No Change In tho Situation at New 01'-
leans—Pi ecu-unions Taken.
New Orleans, Sept. 16. ——Ths‘e has
been no further change in the plague
situation since the official bulletin of
the board of health declaring five new
cases of yellow fever. These cases will
be visited again to complete the diag-
nosis. Then a final report will be made
during the day. Numerous suspected
cases are being reported to the board,
'but many of them are found to show no
trace of yellow fever. So widespread is
the concern over the situation that it is
doubtful if any case Q fever appears
with suspicious circumstances attending
it that it is not immediately brought to
the attention of the board by neighbors.
Every case reported is entered and rap-
idly investigated, and the board is cons,
stantly adding to its staff of inspectors.
The absence of mortality is having a
tendency to strengthen public confi-
dence in the methods which are being
applied in the treatment ‘of the cases,
and unless the disease should suddenly
assume'a most malignant form many
people who had intqnded to leave town
will probably remain and help fight the
battle rather than run the risk and in-
convenience of traveling through par—
ishes‘and counties that are terrorized
by the wild reports of the plague and
which are receiving visitors with shot-
guns instead of open arms.
On the streets there is no semblance
of excitement, and what business there
is to transact locally is going on without
interruption. It is only at the steamer
and ship landings and at the depots that
any evidences of the effect of the fever
here are found. So many towns are
quarantining against river craft that
most of the boats will have to be with~
drawn for the time being. At the rail-
roads very little freight is being han-
dled, and the passenger business has
dwindled to nothing.
Atlanta Welcomes Refugees.
Atlanta, Sept. 16.—Atlanta is the only
city in this section which has not closed
its doors against New Orleans and the
fever stricken district. The action of
the mayor and the board of health in—
vites all refugees to this city, and it is
expected that thousands will come
should a general exodus occur at New
Orleans.
No Quarantine at Knoxville.
Knoxville, Sept. 16.—The Knoxville
board of health has decided ,that no
quarantine against points infected by
yellow fever is necessary, as this city
never had an outbreak of the disease.

Newark, N. Y., Sept. 16.—A pazsenger
train on track No. 5 of the New York
Central railroad was wrecked at this
place a. quarter of a mile west of the
station while running at the rate of 50
miles an hour. The cause of the acci-
dent was a misplaced switch. The train
entered a side switch and struck a line
of cars. The locomotive was totally de—
stroyed. The cab was smashed to kin-
dling wood. The engineer, Joseph Wat-
son .cf Syracuse, was badly bruised
about the face and body. The fireman.
Charles Wilkie of Syracuse, was badly,
burned. The firebox of the locomotive
strewed coals along the track and a fire
was at once started. Three freight cars
and three Wagner sleeping cars were
burned up. The smoker and day coach
were damaged, but nothingbut the 10-
comotive left the track.‘ None of the
passengers was injured. ,
