Ross regained cogsciousness in a moment or 80, but being unable to render astistauce to Page dragged himself to the house a distance of 75 or 80 yards, and raised his family. He was too late, however, for by the time acsistance arrived the barn was a mass of fire and when young Page was rescued one of his legs and one arm was burned off. Mr. Ross said Page was black in the face when he left the barn and he felt sure be bad been instantly killed by the lightning when it struck the stable.

Florence, Ala, July 16.—Near | West Point, Tenu., Tuesday after- !noon, Miss Rene Williams was found brutally murdered in the woods near her home. Yesterday Anthony Wil- liams, who assaulted her, was cap- | tured near Pruitton, and to night he expiated his crime in the streets of West Point in the presence of 500 people. Williams was riddled with ballets and burned in the streets of West Poiut, his body being reduced | to ashes. | Before a shot was fired the negro |was knocked down and stamped to death. Then the crowd fell back and those who had pistols fired vol- ley after volley at him. The crowd then gathered wood and, building a fire about him, watched the ghastly scene until the murderer was only laches, For two days and nights 500 Caan. armed and determined, have scoured the couatry for miles. Sev- eral times posses were within shoot ing distance of him, but he escaped. He was captured within 16 miles of the scene of his crime. Aman named Clark, to whom he appiied for tobacco, suspected and held him forthe crowd. Williams was first traced to Iron City. He traded the young woman’s belt toa negro woman for a night's lodging. He was later seen at Pruitton and several shots were fired. All trace of bim was lost until this afternoon, when searchers came upon him, three miles south of Pruitton. He had been in the woods without food for over two days, and running most of the time, so that he was exhausted. The crowd quickly took him back to the scene of his brutal crime, tied him to the same tree that he had tied ‘his victim to when he assaulted her, and there gave him a torturing death. The mob was compsed of substantial men. The victim was shortly to have been married toa young man in Nashville. Her in- tended husband came down from Nashville today and was at West Point to meet the crowd of aveng- ers and assist them. The young woman left her home early Tuesday morning to pick ber- ries. When she did not return for dinner, her friends went in search for her. She was found dead and tied to a sapling, with a leather strap around her neck. One of her eyes had been gouged out, and in ber tightly clenched hands were leaves and grass. All around the ground showed that a terrible struggle had taken place. When the negro was captured his face and arms were terribly scratched and torn. ! | | Sugar Trust on Top. Washington, D. C., July 19 —The new sugar schedule adopted by the Republicans in conference is satis- factory to the trust. The more closely the schedule is examined the more completely does the vaunted “victory” of Speaker Reed and the House conferees fade away. The trust receives a protection ,of 1.95 cents a pound on sugar above 16 Dutch standard incolor. This is exactly the Senate rate. The pro- posed schedule is probibitory on Such sugars as are technically known as first class German marks, which are the suzars now most largely im ported to se'l in competition with the Sugar Trust. This provision will give the trust absolute control of the American market and allow it to greatly advance the pric? of re- fined sugar. Representative McMillin of Ten nessee says: ‘The House confe:ees did not die in the last ditch, as they promised they would. The Sugar Trust bas }got what it wants. The conferencs compromise is a little worse for the trust than the Senate schedule and 'a preat deal better for the trust |than the House rates.” Representative Swanson of Vir- ginia, who is an expert, said: “The conference agreement gives the trust 4 cents more protection on eich 100 pounds of raw sugar j brought in than did the House ischedule. The trust has come out on top.” | Culver News. | j all thankful. her home in Cass county.
