AT ROPE'S END. BRUTE PAID PENALTY OF CRIME AGAINST, THIR ' TEEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL. He Beat Her to Death With Club and Outraged Her While She Was on the Way to Sun-, day School Other ' News. Spokane; Wash. Aug. 4. The whole country about Anatone is in a frenzy today over the awful crime yerpetrated by some fiend during Sunday, but which was not discov ered until yesterday afternooo. Last Sabbath, Mabel .Richard, the 13-vear-old daughter "of Sheriff Richards of Asotin county, left her bonne to attecd Sunday .school, about a half mile from her father's residence. The littla girl was in company of three other children, but left them in order to take a shorter route. She never appeared at the church, neither did she re turn -home at nightfall. A dilgent search was instituted, and yeeterday afternoon her dead body was found in a clump of bush is. By the side' was the club with which death was administer d. Toe child's had was crushed, her cloth ing was literally torn from her body and ehe had been outraged. A farmer named Philip Hamil ton, who lives in the neighborhood, was at once suspected of the crime and was arrested. ' Ahoat 12:15, 20 masked men, their faces concealed with handker chiefs, marched in an orderly man ner up the street toward the jail. When they got in sight the guards thrown about the structure called upon them to halt. The answer of the masked men was to throw the guards to the grourtd. The keys were taken ft om the guards, the jaityard entered and finally an en trance7 was affected into the jail proper. - When the cell containing the guilty man was reached no key . could be found to fit it. It was ne cessary to saw and hack the bars until the : door could be opened. What transpired during the opera tion, what Hamilton said, probably will not be known until some of the "lynchers makes public the detail?, but Hamilton, after about 15 min utes dtliy, was dragged out of the cell and down into the yard. Meanwhile another company of masked men about 80 Jn number had marched upiibe street and tak n rKwitiona hnii t.hn ntrnri m the jail. All were masked and all - , .1 were orderly. With these men none attempted to interfere. They kept back the crowd, .which had filled the streets all night waiting .for the lynching they were certain would occur. As soon as the attack- was made upon Hamilton's cell the en tire population of the town, their numbers swelled by the people from the surrounding country, gathered about the jail. , Soon there came a procession from the jailvard. On either side of the doomed wretch was a mask ed man, clutching the murderer's arm and hauling him along. Be hind him another masked man pressed closely, with his hand over the murderer's month, to prevent possible outcry. , Other members of th? jail-storming rrob came behind. As the sinister group came forward the masked men. . who bad been guarding the entrance to the jail formed a linked chain about the captors and cap ive and in this manner they proceeded, keeping the crowd at a respectful distance, a bot three blocks up the street. Ev idently they had their programme all mapped out. When the lynchers and Hamil ton reached the corner of First and iMlrnore streets, they , halted under a guy wire whiih crosses tile street and joins electric light pole. Here one of the leaders asked Hamilton if he wanted to confess. He did so, repeating substantially the story told in the afternoon. y He spoke in an exceedingly low tone, cot being heard more than ten feet away. Fi nally he asked that his jewelry, . some trifling trinkets he had in his possession and his watch be given to-his father and mother, and the promise was made him:7 Then there was another short wait. - The manner of Hamilton's death was under discussion. Some . of the mob . thought hanging too good for him. Some one produced a, black mask like that ; used in a legal hanging and it was put over the head of Hamilton. It reached down to his shoulders. The rope was then produced, placed about his neck and the rope was thrown over the guy wire being long enough to Teojjh within grasping distance of the lynchers. It was seized by pow erful men, the body was lifted off the ground and suspended at a height of about four feet. The doomed wretch began to gasp for breath and his efforts werer. plain- I ly "iiscernable a distance of two uxuc.l, ho quiet was tne crowa. . After the body of Hamilton had been held by the' lynchers for a time, long-enough to make certain that he was dead, the rope was tied to the telegraph pole and the body left suspended, and it is ' hanging there at this hour. The crowds, when they were satisfied that the wretch bad breathed his last, qui etly melted away and sought their beds, and the streets- soon were de serted. " . . - - A VISIT TO IR DAR REVS OFFICE What He Saw and Heard of Damn's Wonderful Cares by Electricity. . Dr. (Albany Democrat.)

Orlfrln la Shrooded ia Myatery Their PreieutWherc- ; a boats Accounted For. o i That the last of the Caribs haveben exterminated by recent eruptions, of volcanoes on the Windward islands is denied by, authorities, who say that there was- no member of the race on 1 Martinique, and if any remnantwasde- stroyea on at. Vincent, it was- not the fault of the English government, which de,rted 6,000, the entire numberthen inhabiting this island, in 1876. They are scattered throughout South and Central America, and representatives of the tribes are found occasionally on. the group of islands in the sea that gets its name from them, says the Chi cao Post. ' Students of ethnology, have fovnd the Caribs interesting .. and " bcfSiv.sr subjects. Their origin is enshroud'ed in mystery, and the black types often found in Belize and Honduras' are taken' by some scientists as proof that African blood was mixed'with that of the Caribs long before the whites ..brought slaves to America. The pure type of Carib differs radic ally from that of other natives (if the Americas. It is now difficult to find the red native with the character istics that distinguished him when his country was discovered by the. Spanish navigators Negro and Arowak blood is now so mixed with the Carib that the casual traveler in the tropics is con fused....; . '.. ' WhenEngland deported the 6,0W men, women and children of the Caribbean race from St. Vincent they were taken to Granada. - A few years later they were taken to Belize. .Prof. Starr, of the ' University of Chicago, who has pent some time in Central America, ia of the opinion that no Carib were det troyed by the recent volcanic disturb ances in the Caribbean -sea. ' "They, once inhabited most of the Lesser Antilles," he said,, "but to-day they are mostly on the mainland. There were once three kind, classified as is land, coast and inland Caribs. When Columbus discovered. America the is land Caribs were a powerful race in the Antilles. Ethnologists differ as to their movements previous to that time. Some authorities maintain that they, were of a southern race moving north,, but jt is my opinion that the theory of a northern race going south is the correct one. ''.. ' ' . . . , s ... "As' far back as any authentic his tory goes we find records of black Caribs. There is much evidence "to prove that the blaok Carib visited long before the white people brought' Af rican slaves to this country. ; This ha caused much' interesting speculation. and no doubt is proof of movements of people that we know nothing. of. "The Carib is of the South American Indian type. He is a very sturdy man';. It is- Eaid they .are the'handsomest I race native to the Americas. "The Carib proved himself superior to other na tives before the arrival of the whites' arrested the progress of Indian affairs.' They were good potters and were the only Indians that used sails for their canoes, which were the best made ves sels found in America,". ... Caribs are often pointed out to trav elers in South and Central America. They are proud of their race. They are industrious and are of great service to contractors in their east coast towns. When the Carib is not working he will likely be found on some wharf. Hi3 holiday cloth tnake-him a pictur esque and pleasing - object. .':, White trousers and shirt, a red sash with a knife sticking carelessly in its folds and a white straw hat decorated with a folded. white band is almost the fied attire for a male. ' In this cool cos tume they': are 'seen at the tropical ports, particularly in Belize. Guate mala and Honduras. Their Black faces and bare, black feet shine like, ebony, and when they smile, which is. not as often as is the habit of the African, a deal of ivory is shown. . . . ,. Carib boys are almost the equal of fish in tiie' water, and they dive after a"-coin thrown into the water, beat it to the bottom, and lay there until it flutters down to them, the entire per formance being visible in the trans parent waters of their tropical sea. Character Rlpninar. Not all Christian-people bear loss, sorrow and sickness in a ; victorious way. Too often dp we see men yield ing to trouble, : not growing 'more beautiful in soul, but losing their spiritual beauty in life's trials. This is not the way it should be, however. Our character should ripen in life's weather, whatever the weather may be. - "Tribulation worketh patience." The object of life is io learn-to live. We are at school here, and, shall al ways be at' school until we are dis missed from earth's classes to be pro moted into Heaven. It is a pity If we do not learn our lessons. It is a pity if we grow no gentler,- no kindlier,no more thoughtful, no more.unselfish, no more unworldly, as the years pass over us.
