A mob of three thousand men. shortly before II o'clock tonight forcibly entered Rowan county jail at Salisbury, re moved therefrom threfr nf tha fir v v j negroes charged with the'murder of the Lyerl? family at Barber Junction, July 13th, and lnyched tbem. Nease and John Gillepsle and Jack Dillingham, suppoed to be the prin. cipals to the crime, were the victims of mob vengeance. The remaining negroeg. Henry Lee.George Ervin and Bella Dillingham, were not molested and latei tonight officers hurried them off to the woods for safety. The mob began gathering at sundown. Mayor Boyden promtly ordered the saloons closed and with other prominent citi zens, United States Senator Overman and Judge Long who was holding the special term of court to trv the ne groes, and Solicitor Hammer gathered on the jail steps and addressed the crowd which at that time numbered two thousand. There were howls and 1 been he was told that the governor wished to speak to him over the long distance phone. He was then informed by Governor Glenn that a large mob was threaten ing the Salisbury jail and ordered him to asesmble bis company at once, ask the Southern Railway for a special train and report to Judge Long in Salisbury. A tew minutes later he received a telegram from Governor Glenn, mark ed 11.08 o'clock, giving the same orders. The task of collecting the company was at once begun. The first men who appeared at the armory were dispatch ed in search of others, and the crowd quickly gathered. The Southern Rail way Company said that an engine and coach would be ready not later than 12.30 o'clock. At about half past eleven a rumor was circulated on the streets to the effect that the prisoners had been lynched. Captain Hobgood was in formed of this, but said that he had ordered by the eovernor to take cat calls from the mob, but at that J his copmany to Salisbury and to Salis IX SELF DEW Iijor Hamn, editor ENSE ind manager of CniMitutionalist, .Eminence,' Ky., was fierecelyl attacked, four s ao, by Piles, bought a box of kirn's Arnica Sal :e. of which he "It cured . me in ten days and trout ! since."

While citizens were appealing to the mob, two men silpped through the crowd and were entering the jail with hammers. They were discovered and arrested. Thhe.mob continued its yel ling, but there was still no concerted move. . About 9 o'clock Mayor Boyden call ed upon the local militia company, the Rowan Rifles, for aid. They as sembled quickly, but were supplied only with blank cartridges, having no orders to shoot to kill. Fireman McLendon, of Charlotte, a Southern Rajlway emplo3e. was shot in the stomach by a bullet said to have been fired by a member of the mob. He was fatally wounded. Wil liam Troutmari; a negro drayman, was also seriously shot at about the same time. Another man, whose name could not be learned, was also shot. These men are said to have been accidently wounded by wild firing by members of the mob with the evident intention of frightening citizens. At 10 o'clock the mob was augment ed by fully 500 men, who came, it is said, from Wliitnev. It was but a few minutes after their arrival when a crowd of-fifty, forming a sort of flying wedge, made a break for the jail doors, overpowered the officers and effected an entrance. The great crowd oustido surged in behind the leaders and in a few moments 'more emerged from the door with their victims. The nesnoes were quietly marched north ward toward Speucer but a halt was made at Henderson's ball grounds in the edge of town. There the negroes were given time to confess the crime. They refused to either deny or con fess and were so thoroughly frigthen ed as almost to have lost the power of speech. John Gillespie wept piteous ly and begged for his life. BURNING FAVORED. Tiring of its efforts to secure state ments from the negroes at midnight the mob began to vote on the best way to dispose of them. A vote showed a sentiment in favor of burning but this was abandoned. The process of death was slow. The men were drawn up and as the man walked out from them the rope broke. Thev were drawn up singly again and when all were disposed of the crowd of five thousand was ordered to sit- down while the leaders shot. An incalculable number of shots were fired into the bodies of the wretches and one rope was cut in two. The crowd then dispersed and went home. By 12.30 o'clock it was all over and a half hour later nothing remaiaed of the immense threng that had packed the streets, but a few groups of citi zen discussing the lynching. NONE WOULD CONFESS. noorcre Ervin was taken from the jail with his associates and closely questioned. Then the mob led him back to his cell. Nease Gillepie main tained his innocence to the end. The other two would neither confesss nor deny the crime. Ed Barber, a relative of the murdered men, followed the mob with the prisoners to the scene of the Inyching and pleaded with them to return the negroes to the jail and let the law take its course, but the mob declined to heed him. TO APPREHEND MEMBERS OF MOB. Warrants will be issued tomorrow for those members of the mob whose 1 names are known to the authorities and proceedings wiU be instituted against them. At 1 1. 10 o'clock Capt Hobgood was ing packed "I didn't want bnry he was going, lynching or no lynching, unless the governor personal- ly countermanded the order. Shortly after 12 o'clock he was rold by a policeman that the governor had Dhoned to'police headquarters orders for the Greensboro company not to go and a few minutes later the governor repeated this order to Captain Hob good. When the captain returned to the armor3 to inform his company, fifty rounds of "not cartridges." contain ing three buckshot each, were being issued to the men, a thousand round? I of regulation ball cartridgess were be- to be taLen as a reserve. to hurt anybody," said Captain Hobgood, speaking of the question of ammunition, "but we were ordered to protect the Salisbury jail and I did not intend to be caught napping. We might have been held in Salisbury a week for all I know." In his last phone message the governor thanked Captain Hobgood for his promDtness and informed him that the state would pay all expenses incident to assembling the company and geting the train in readiness. ' "A BLOT ON STATE," S AS Y GOV ERNOR. Raleigh. N. C. Aug. (. Governor Glenn was at 11.10 tonight told of the mob by Judge Long, over the tele phone. He at once wired orders to the military companies at Charlotte. Greensboro and Stateville to hurry by special trains to Salisbury. Finding these were too late he countermanded the order. He states that some time ' ago he offered the sheriff the service of militia, but the offer was declined as unnecessary. He declares the lynch ing a blot on the state, and says he will at once take steps to discover and bring to justice the guilty parties. It has caused more laughs and d ed more ; tears, wiped away diseases and driven away more fears than any oth er nffdicine in the world. Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea. So cents. Tea or Tablets.

Long before the sun rose curious persons went to the scene of the lynch ing and cut off the toes, the fingers and -ears of the negroes who were bung to the limb of a big tree on Henderson's baseball grounds. The bodies were badly mntilated be fore they were removed. It looks as if a lot of sorry fellows, assisted by a few good citizens, from the scene of the Lyerly murder, did the work. When the court was convened this morning there was a slight d ini unit ion in the crowd, though every seat was taken. There was noticeable suffering written on the face of Judge Long; his attitude was yet determined, but it was changed completely. His refer ences yesterday to mob talk were al ways characterized as vaporings. of the menmost interested here and most anxiou3 to see the trial proceed. He .appeared to fear violence less. His disappointment and, humiliation are complete. The first thing dispatched this morn ing was a continuance of the case un til the regular term. Solicitor Ham mermade the motion and in doing so said tye prisoners had been taken to the Mecklenburg jail 'and the sum moning ot the special venire stopped. Jadge Long replied that he would make the order. He then turned to the crowd and in a clear slow voice full of feeling, said: JUDGE LONG'S ADDRESS. "There was a venire called here to try this case, this morning at 10 o'clock. The grand jury had found a true bill and the court had made an ordersthat two hundred veniremen ap pear at the court house that the case might be investigated according to law. -But last night when the court had become satisfied shortly before that the best sentiment in this county would uphold the laws of the land and stand by the courts in its adminstra tion of the law, a band of men broke into the jail, took three of the prison ers cat, and lynched them, as the court s informed. - "I will say to the citizenship in my hearing that if there is any law abid ing men in Rowan county, and there are such, I would be glad to have your presence here during the sitting of this court, but if there are men here for an unlawful purpose, I say to them that it would be well for yon to disperse and go to your homes. God Almighty reigns and the law is still supreme, mis court wu nut aujuuru until this matter is investiagted. "Gentemen of the grand jury. I am not going to discharge you this morn ing, but I will retain you here. I hope you will keep calm and serene. Retire to your room and proceed with your deliberations and investigations. 1 will call you for further instructions later on. " t SALISBURY QUIET. MILITIA AT SALISBURY. Charlotte, N. C, Aug-. 7. Tonight three companies of the North Carolina National Guard, one command from Statesville. a company of infantry and a battery of artillery from Charlotte, surrround the jail at Salisbury, while sentries with loaded guns and orders to shoot to kill patrol the four streets that flank the prison. There have been threats and rumors of threats all day and into the night, but there has been no demonstration only the general feeling cf disquietude and unrest. Crowds thronged the city's streets far into the night, but there is little liquor in evidence and it is believed the worst is over. George Hall, the ex-convict from Montgomery county who is supposed to liave led the mob which lynched the three alleged murderers of the Lyerly family last night, is in the jail the plan to rescue him from the dutches cf the law, mmors of which caused Governor Glenn to hurry troops to Salisbury, has not materialized. The surviving negroes, Henry Le, George Erwin and two women, are safe in the jail at Charlette and there is no danger of violence to them. The special term of court which convenes to try the victims of aob vengeance, acting npon orders from Ike Governor. will not adjourn until every effort to convict tha leader of Hie mob has wn exhausted. The caa is being worked up and many a ire to are ex w-t tomorrow. The Governor is Salisbury, N. C Au-. 7. The city is quiet after the triple - lynching last night. George Imn and Henry Gil lespie and the wife of Jack Dilling ham, were taken to Charlotte this morning for safe-keeping. True bills for murder in the first degree were found by the grand jury yesterday against Irvln, Henry Gil lepsie and the Dillingham woman, but the mob did not disturb them last night. Henry Gillespie this morning stated that Dillingham had made a confession in the Charlotte jail that he and Nease and John Gillespie mur dered the Lyerly family. MOB LEADER ARRESTED. Raleigh. N.C.. Aug. 7. This after noon Governor Glenn received a tele gram from Judge B. F. Long, at Salis bury, to the effect that George Hall had been identified as a leader of the mob that lynched the alleged murder ers of the Lyerly family last night and be has been placed in jail; that evi dence was on hand against others and that the investigation is being pushed as rapidly and thoroughly as possible. Tiie Governor at the request of Sheriff Julian and Judge Long telegraphed an order to the military company at Charlotte last night to go to Salisbury at once and guard the jail to prevent the liberation of any alleged lynchers who may be arrested.

" I be an taking your Peruna and now I feel like a new woman. "I can walk just as far as I please without feeling any fatigue and I have taken only three bottles of Peruna. 'I shall never cease praising Peruna, cor thanking Dr. Hartman for his kind advice." Systemic catarrh claims many victims because this disease is not always un derstood, and therefore not correctly treated. What is needed is an internal catarrh remedy which exerts a healing effect on the mucous membranes of the entire body. Such a remedy is Peruna.
