been kept over, to Naples on,
Wednesday of last week, and af-
ter a formal trial before Esquire
Moore and remanded to jail with-
out bond, being fully identified by
the injured man, was hung to a
tree in Naples by a lot of men
who had overpowered the officers
and taken him away from them.
Those people had made a des-
perate effort to get in possession
of the negro from the first; having
spent considerable money and
time in their efforts to capture the
wretch and dispose of his case,
though their ardor had seemed to
cool down and ’twas thought the
law would be allowed to take its
course hence the judge of the dis-
trict had the negro brought back
for identification and trial, but
when a list of men feel that hu-
manity has been outraged and
that such desperate characters
menace the earth, their blood
boils and they fear not future con-
sequences.
The judge and district attorney
were on the ground and what
steps may be taken we cannot tell,
but John Williams has been de-
ported, bis body was brought here
to his family who had it dressed
and buried .the next day,
Yours to Please,
J. G. Watson.
Mrs. T. E. Welch Dead.
Mrs. T. E Welch, nee Miss Kli-
jah Prewitt, died of pneumonia
after only a few days affliction at
her home just north of Omaha on
Friday night the 8th. She had
been sick about two weeks, but
with the best medical treatment
she was unable to withstand the
dread affliction.
She was 33 years old and had
beeu married about twelve years,
and leaves seven young and small
children to the care of only a fath-
er, who will be assisted by loving
and kind relatives, neighbors and
friends in his every day care for
them.
Her body was laid to rest in
Omaha cemetery on the 9th with
funeral services by Rev’s J. E.
Morgan and N. A. Seale surround-
ed by a large number of sympa-
thizing, weeping friends, all of
whom join the Breeze in profound
sorrow for the sad family so se-
riously bereft in this time of sad-
ness and sore trial.
