Ryan, a noted minister of this state, livingin Roane county, about forty miles from here, was murdered in the presence of his family and at his own home in Octo- ber last. He had just returned from conference with $400 and the pur- pose of the murder was evidently robbery. Within two or three days after that, three young men, Robert and George Duff and Chester Coon, were lynched for the murder. It has been the prevailing opinion that the {pera House Block, BUTLER, MO.

Most of the arrests since 1874 have been made by members of one family and by the Duffs. In regard to the recent doings of the band, the names of thirty-seven members, the password and so forth are given- The consolidated band held meet- ings every week andevery week they took a new oath to divulge nothing on penalty of death. About three weeks before Ryan was murdered they held a meeting at Kentuck at which it was moved that they pro- ceed at once to lynch George and Robert Duff, Frank Shamblin, Doc Jonesand Jack Parsons. Themotion was seconded but was voted down by a small majority. The next week a meeting was held at the same place and the same motion was made and again lost bya small majority. At this meeting four of the mem- bers, for whom it was getting too murderous, withdrew from the band. After George Duff had been fatally wounded by the lynchers, ‘Squire Taylor ordered the arrest of Bob Duff and Chess Coon. The next evening ‘Squire Gardee ordered them taken to Walton. The constables disobeyed orders. Coon was taken to George Cook’s and Duff to Dave Cox's residence for the night. That night the band held a secret meet ing at the Linn Camp school house. It was decided to lynch Coon and Duff immediately, though some vot- ed to wait until Monday. Ben Coon, an uncle of Chess Coon, one of the men whom they were going to lynch, was elected leader, and he accepted the position. They went to Cook’s where Chess Coon was, took him outandhangedhim. Then they went to Dave Cox's, took Bob Duff out and cut his throat with a knife. He «as first stabbed in tee stomach and bresst, then a gash was cut in his throat, and finaliy Duff's head was held back while one man cut his throat from ear to ear. urth National Bank = - — St. Louis. | 6Ver seen any thing like it before. fanover National Bank = - New York.

The Swift Specific Co., Drawer 3 Atlanta, Ga. j It is Henry Watterson who says that “some people estimate the abili- ty of a periodical and the talent of its editor by theamount of original matter. It isa comparatively easy matter for a frothy writer to string out a column of words on any and all subjects. His ideas may flow on in a weak, washy everlasting flood, and his command of language may enable him to tie them together like a bunch of onions, and yet his paper may be a meagre and poor concern. Indeed, the mere writing part of editing a paper is but a small part of the work.
