Id erasing a farm four of the men noticed a negro lying under a atraw rick. "What are yoik. doing here?" de manded one of the. men, but the only answer was a. snllen reply from the ne gro who had apparently been awakened Craven, for It wits William Wiloa, an ex-Confederate ol die r, waa lynched by & mot hi even ing. Crma wan captured this morning trear the acaae of the crime, and wtu conveyed by Sheriff ItusseU to this place. The sheriff reached the jail with Cra ' vn at 1 o'clock and shortly after -a large crowd assembled and began an Asa nit upon th jail. The ouuide And . inside doors were burst open. The mob ithen led the prisoner from the cell to th aataida of the jail. A rope was placed about h: necJc and, surrounded down the turnpike toward Uerndaa. . It was first Intended by the moo to take Craven to the" scene of the crime. It 'vu feared, however, that there would te fcrterferenere on the part of the mlll- tia, which had been ordered out. It was therefore decided, when the mob was bout one mile east of Leesbnrg to 'lynch Craven then and there. He was first given an opportunity to explain the details of the crime. Craven denied all knowledge of the tturSer of Wilson and protested his in- inocecce to the last. TTo denied also that he had burned FraitlTi barn about two years ago, for which he was found guil ty and sect to prison. After Craven "had spoken the rope was trown ots r the Kmb of a tree by the roadside. Many hands grasped it find rnvrnng him np clear of the grotind. Wfthla a minnfeH least five hundred bullets were fired into the body. The body was left hanging on the tree and tb crowil quietly stood around and watched the negro's body . sway in fh breere. There wan some talk of the negroes In the neighborhood taking tp. toward avenging Craven's death, but the whites of the locality are J destroyed. In die middle western conn- he, readily admitted his identity and made no attempt to escape. The negro showed plainly the result of his experience in the field slnce the mnrder last Monday. lie was attired only in overalls, having lost hU hat. cent and ehirt in -his travels. His bar twvdr was badly scratched by bashes. he had no weapons of any kind, and was weak and exhausted for want of food. Craven was taken to Ashbarn station atd as the news of his capture spread a crowd began to gather, and beore nron over 200 men were collected about the building. Threats of lynching were fretly made and Craven waa in mortal terror, lie kept weu wick jn a corner and it was easy to be seen that he ex pected at any minute to be taken oat and executed. Shortly afternoon Sheriff Rnssell, who took charge of the prisoner, d-eefded to take him to Lees1urg, and, boarding a pseslng train, brought hirn to this place.

The restraininsr of the law was upon the "corner in oats' as the last day of tradinz in the option passed into history. A new sensation marked, each hour. chief of the developments being the refusal of Judge Chytraus to dissolve the temporary injunction granted to Waite, Thorburn & Co.. prohibiting- the conduct of a corner in the cereal by James A. Patten and his associates. When the final hearine comes ud next week the time for the law's interference will be gone. The effect of the judge's action was to tie up $200,000 or more on de posit as marjrins, leaving to litigation the determination of the question whether the price of the option has been made fictitiously and fraudulently high. As to the board of trade, which had been tem porarily prohibited from "endorsing down" the margins, the injunction was dissolved. The other, defendants, how-j ever, were ordered not to ask for such i margins, leaving the situation practically uncnangea. " . The price of July oats went up to CT cents as against a close of 03 last night. A purchase by Harris. Gates & Co., at "for the account of whom it may concern" was supposed to be a test case for use in the coming litigation that will determine whether today's set tling was fraudulently made. , PERSONA NON GRATA Senator Burton Not in Favor at Oyster Bay Topcka, July 31.
