HE WAS SHOWS' NO MERCY.A Snide Jewelry Man wasHandled Pretty Roughly by a Mob.On Saturday evening a four-in-hand attached to a carriage was driven about the streets of the city. The vehicle contained two men besides the driver, who was a local livery stable keeper. One of the strangling occupied for the succeeding two nights. The miserable cravens were willing to take the man’s money as long as he was playing a losing game, but as soon as the order of things was reversed and they were getting a dose of their own medicine they squealed.
