San Francisco, Sept 4 - A dispatch from Ukiah, Mendocino county, says Elijah Frost, Big Gibson and Tom McCracken were taken from a constable at Willits last night and hanged by a mob. These men were under arrest for the larceny of a saddle and some harness. Rumor has it that many things have been missing of late and these parties have been suspected. Elijah Frost was the son of Elijah Frost who was killed some years ago in a shooting scrape with the Coole boys. He had been out of State prison about eight months, having been sent there from Red Bluff for horse stealing.
