Port Gibson (Miss.), June 21. -- James Saunders (colored) was lynched last night about twelve miles from here by a mob of both whites and blacks. He was caught by his son in a compromising position with his own daughter. The son reported the case to Saunders' wife, a stepmother of the girl, whereupon a row occurred, in which the wife of Saunders was killed either by himself or the daughter. The brother of the murdered woman, with about two hundred blacks and fifty whites, went to Saunders' house last night and hung [sic] him. It is reported that the daughter will be strung up to-day.
