TIGHTENED A NOOSE.
A Negro in Florida Shoots a Deputy Sheriff and Is Lynched.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 18.—An Arcadia, Fla., special says Deputy Sheriff Bert Harde made a raid on a gang of negro gamblers and while attempting to arrest them a big burly negro named Walter Austin emptied the contents of a Winchester rifle into the officer's body, killing him instantly. The negro escaped but was captured Sunday night and lynched. Harde was highly esteemed by all who knew him. His remains were sent to Wadsworth, O., for internment.
Thank you for joining me and as always, I hope I leave you with something to ponder.
