A WHOLESALE LYNCH1NQ.
:A Father and One JSou Hans By n
Hob, and the othrr Sun feliot The
i'roctorsf runes.
RUSSELLVILLE, Ky , DC. 18.
Dink and Arch Proctor, father and
son, were taktu from - jii at 2
o'clock this morning and bnnged to
a cedar tree j ist ouisidn of the
town, and Bill Proctor, another son,
was shot and killed in his cell. A
mob of about 100 men broke into
the jail about 1:30 o'clock this
morning by Mattering down the
doors with sledge hammers. The
jailer was forced 'to give up the cell
keys. The Proctors were up, as
they had been warned the day
before of what was to come. Bill
Proctor swore he would not leave
his cell alive,lai.d, as he was a pow
erful man and ha?d to handle, one
of the mob shot him with a pistol;
Immediately afterwards a charge
of buckshot was fired at him and aa
he fell a volley of pistol shots were
-fired. About thirty "balls entered
his body. After Proctor was down
a man entered the cell, and placing
a pistol at the head of the fallen
man, pulled the trigger, and thus
died the most dangerous man in
-Logan county. The mob then took
Dink Proctor and his son, Arch,
out of their cells and bound their
hands, after the jailer had made an
unheeded plea for mercy for the
father The mob, which had now
increased to 200 men,- escorted the
prisoners to a three-limbed cedar
tree on the Nashville road and
strung the father and eon up s:de
by side. Their bodies were cut
down this morning. The mob
came from Adaviile, and they cut
alLthe telegraph wires leading from
that point in order to prevent notice
being given -of their coming. Mrs.
Proctor, wife of Dink and mother
of Arch and Bill, was asleep in a
hotel here when the lynching took
place. She had come to attend the
examining trial today v and Arch
begged the mob pitifully to be al
lowed to see his mother before he
was hanged, but' his request was
refused.
Arch Proctor killed one Aaron,
- and he and Dink were charged with
-conspiring to have the Criftons
skilled. Bill Proctor was one of the
four men who were charged with
haneine Ed. Trauchber about two
J ears ago. He has killed several
men, and has been on trial for his
.'life four times, but always escaped
-on trial, and this fact caused the
mob tor take the law, into its own
hands in the present case. Dink
has always been a quiet fellow and
this is the first time he has been in
trouble. The general public ap
proved the killing of Bill and Arch,
'but thought Dink should have been
Heft alone. Great crowds are visit

BOOKKEEPER SHOT DOWN.
Probably a Fatal Assault By a
Crnnben Janitor. .
What will probably prove to be a
fatal shooting occurred in Charlotte
yesterday, the following account of
which is taken from the Observer :
Mr. W 6 Lake, book-keeper for
the Singer Sewing Machine Com
pany, in this city, was shot down at
his desk in the company's office, in
tne Hunt block, at .1:15 o'clock yes
terday afternoon by Mr, L j Kirfc,
janitor of the city hall. Kirk, it
appears, had no particular grievance
against ,Mr. Like, He was incensed
because a sewing machine upon
which he owe an unpaid balance,
had, been BeiZ3d aud taken from his
home, and he had gone into the of
rice on the hunt of Mr. T B Man
gum, who is in cnarge ot that de
partment of the Singer' buatnesd id
this city. Mr. Mau um was not in

'The feeling in the community
is one of pity. The tragedy was so
unpre?oked. eb cruel and so heart
less as to profoundly stir the town.

The last examination made by the
doctors last niht showed . Mr.
Lak's temperature to be 101, and
poise 120. At 2 o'clock this morn
inp Mr. Lake was resting easier and
appeared to be more comfortable,
bis symptoms at that hour being
considered more favorable.
A Household Treasure.
D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N.
Y., says that he always keeps Dr.
Kitig's New Discovery in the house
and his family has always found-the
very best results' follow its use ;
that he would hot be without it, if
procurable. G.'A. Dykeman, Drug-
gist, Catskill, N. Y. , says that Dr.
Kind's New Dlscovery-s undoubt
edly the best cough remedy; ; that
he has used it in his family for eight
years, and it has never failed to do
all that is claimed for it. Why no'
try a remedy so long tried and
tested. Trial bottles Jree at Fet
