Amotg the prominent ‘witnesses against them wera Dootors Under wood, Ratenour, and othere, all of whom have since beon anonymously threatened and ad- yited to leave the country. Night before last Drs. Underwood and Retenour while return- ing home from the conntry and passing through a strip of timber were fired upon by four men covered by darkness and ambush, Dr. Retenour returning tho fire. Their bug. gy was tomewhat riddied but only Retenour ‘Wan slightly hurt, and ho wounded one of his assailants. Yesterday Bill Fin and Mansen Rainsbargers weroarrested as the alleged a sailants. Bill was released on bail, but Fin and Mansen were put in jail, At about 1 0'clock this morning, a mob, suppoted to number one hundred of Hardin ounty's best citizens, armed, masked and well commanded reached the suburbs of Kl dora, on horse and otherwise, from the north, Fifteen men advancing held up the city mar shal snd plcad pickets on each of the avenuos eading to the jail. The remainder following gitacked the jm, working quickly and qulotly. No attention was attracted until they com menced pullig down the doors, Marshal Barnes, who had charge of the prisoners, lives ' over - the jail and was awakened by the first blows of tho battering ram, He immediately knew what it meant. and coming down toutside atairs bo called for help. Hewas confronted by re volvers and. told togo imside, Ho then aroused Deputy Sheriff Baylan, Shenff Wil- cox being out of town. The mob soon _battezed down the outside door and proceeded to Rainslarger’s cell. Here they encountered considerab e - resistance and contiderable time in hammering down the doors with a sledge, The,Rainsbargers both backed up againat the call'docr when vho at tack commenced, and held the mob outside until members of the mob shot_from the outeide through_ tho barred window, Then they commenced to realize the peril of their situation and at once became convinced that they must give up,_their lives to, pay the penalty of their crimes. Thoy criad, **Help, help, murder, murder, Barnes, Wilcox, people of Jildora, for Heaven's sake save us!” Tnair cries could be heard for con- siderable distance. They called to George Barber, confined in another cell for liqusr Bolling to tell their families and the boys that they “died like dogs and no one to help them.” Ben, after the door had been broken in, = made a desperate dash and struggled through the mob for liberty, and finally reached the outside door, where he was literally riddled with bullets. Manso was dragged from tho ooll and shot to_ doath, not leas than seventeen shots taking effect i his kody. The mob Immediatelyand quietly dispersed, many citizens of Eldora realized that the y was being enacted ia their midst until the curtain had fallen and the actors—except two—had retired. The exceptional two presented a ghastly sight to those who first arrived on the scene. TLying on his face about fifteen feet from the jail was the lifelcss corpse of Manser Rains- barger, and lying nea the sidewalk, near him, was the body of his brother, the light of a meighboring street lamp making a horrible, sickening sight. Both were dressed in pants and shirts only, and were covered with blood. Tying near by was the hickory sapling which had been used as & battering ram. In about half an hour Coroner Underwood arrived and Marshal Barnes had the bydies removed to the mayor's offica. Bill Rainsbarger came into town this fore- noon, and was told if he would brace up and e a maa they would lot him stay there, but the first bad break he made would insure him his brothers’ fate. ———— THE NATIONAL OAPITAL, PUBLIC LANDS, APPOINTMENTS AND ADFAIRS IN CHINA, ‘WASHINGTON, June 5, —At the second day’s meetiog of the conference of charities and correctiors, Wm.
