"Wichita Falls, Tex., Feb. 27.-At
8:30 last night a mob of several thous
and persons attacked tho Jail here,
where Foster Crawford and "Tho
Kid" were conllncd. After a show of
resistance on the part of the authori
ties, tho mob battered In tho Jail
doors and forcibly took possession of
the prisoners. The two men wcro
taken to tho bank which they at
tempted to rob yesterday, and an Im
provised scailold was erected. "The
Kid" refused to say a word, and those
having him In charge yanked him on
the box.
The scene was a weird one lie had
on high-heeled boots, black pants and
a deep-red flannel shirt, which added
a growsomo brilliancy to tho scene.
In a moment tho ropo was about his
neck, and a man, who some one said
looked like one of tho men whose
horses had boon taken yesterday,
"shinned up" a telegraph polo and
ilx tho end of tho ropo across the
crossbar.
All tho tlmo "The Kid" was Jeering
at tho crowd, laughing and cursing.
He never quivered. Ho was asked to
say what ho wanted, nnd was told he
would be given a hearing.
no said: "By Godl that's all right.
If you aro Impatient, swing mo up
now. I ain't afraid to die; not n bit
of It. Pull tho rope, by Godl"
A voice in tho nudlcnco Bald:
"You're going to dlo now. Tell us your
name."
"Tho Kid" I don't caro If I do; It's
Younger Lowes, and my father and
mother reside In Neosho, Mo.
"Any message?" from a voice In
the crowd.
Vnll toll tiv fnt.lmr T wns not

scared a bit; that I died like a nervy
man."
"Anything for your mother?"
"No, not a word; she will sco tho
messagoto tho old man. Say, you
fellows, go and look In that dugout,
and you'll find $10,000 there."
"The Kid," or Younger Lewes, as
boat tho last moment called himself,
continued chatting and laughing with
tho crowd, poking fun at them and
cursing for a moment, and then somo
one yelled:
"Tlmo Is up!"
"The Kid" said: "I am 20 years old;
I am dead game, and ready to dlo; go
ahead."
In an Instant he was pulled up
above tho throng. Ho nevor quivered
or kicked. Ho Just went up in the air
nnd there ho Is hanclng now. Ho was
tho coolest man In all tho crowd.
All the while Crawford was a spec
tator of tho scene. Ho began to
weaken, and confessed, giving some
valuablo information. Ho placed tho
responsibility for the crlmo on "Tho
Kid." The mob shoved him up to
tho improvised platform nexttotko
bank he had attempted to rob, and
his head was about on a level with the
dangling feet of his companion, ne
asked for Captaiu Burnett. Tho latter
was a spectator in the crowd. He
went to Crawford and had a long talk.
Crawford had worked on Burnett's
ranch for years and was a trusted
man. no began stealing his employ
ers' stock, however, and associating
with the territory outlaws The twg
parted company. Crawford confessed
to the robbery of yesterday, but
denied tho murder. Ho was a small
man, poorly clad, with, red face and
short-clipped black moustache.
When they began to look for a sec
ond, rope, he begged, for wbUky.

GEN. VfliYLEH'S PROCLAMATION.
Havana, Fob. 27. Tho following Is
u syunpsls of tho Important and long
anticipated proclamation of Captaln
Qcncral Woylor to tho Insurgents.
Tho captain-general proclaims that
ho allows tho rebels In tho provinces
of Plnar del Rio and Havana ilftccn
days from the dato of this procla
mation to surrender. Thoso who do
so will not bo subjected to molestation,
but small bands of Insurgents in theso

Tho authorities have orders to form

Tho property of (hose who openly

o Summer. Tho hotel was not being
run, but was occupied by Miss
Joslo Snyder and her brother, children
or tho proprietor. They woro awakoncd
by tho cracking of tho Humes and the
accumulating smoko In their rooms.
They rushed out as quickly as possible
and gavo tho alarm, but hardly had
tlmo to dross. Miss Snyder hastily
gathered up her own clothes, while
her brother only got out with his
shirt and pants on. Tho lire depart
ment nrrlvcd In good season, and
Chelf Ilutton Is certain that ho
could have saved tho east half of tho
building, us well as the addition, but
the engine failed to furnish tho neces
sary water. When tho englno arrived
at tho Winter street brldgo it Is said
to havo had CO pounds of steam up,
but this was permitted to run down
to a pressure where no stream could bo
thrown. Tho statement Is made that
driving tho ongino off tho brldgo Into
the creek made It Impossible to got
suniclent draught, while another
opinion prevails that too much fuel
was crowded Into tho llro box, which
made It Impossible to get a quick Arc.
Theso engines aro thought to havo a
good draught undor almost any con
ditions, but cannot bear choking with
fuel. Wherever tho fault may rest, it
is certain that tho llro could havo
been put out had tho ongino dono Its
work. If tho englno Is at fault, It
should bo everlastingly remedied or
disposed of. Tf tho men In chargo aro
at fault, thoy should bo treated like
wise.
Tho Insurance on tho property wns
fo,r $2,000 qn tho buildings and $700 on
tho contontsln tho Commercial Union
Company. A llttlo of tho bedding
nnd furniture was saved, but tho loss
to tho owners, 11. F. and Sarah Snyder
will be a severe one. Thoy aro at
present living at Mill City, and Mr.
Snyder will no doubt como down at
once, as tho now was telegraphed to
him early this morning.
THK ENGINK TESTED.
Ah Micro is much prejudice against
thoSllsby ongino used last night, oven
among tho llromen, Chief Ilutton this
afternoon gavo that machine a
thorough test, which proved con
clusively that tho old favorlto"Tlgor"

engine was Hrcd up by Englucor
King and driven to tho cistern at tho
Intersection of Stato and Commercial
streets. Several sections of hose were
attached, and when the steam
reached -15 pounds tho pump was
turned on and n lino Htrcam of water
was thrown. Tho test certainly
showed Chief Huttou to bo correct In
his estimate or tho "Tigers" pumping
qualities.
