nine cbildren,-three sons ana SIX oaug1-

Some time last fall some trouble arose
between Mr.. and Mrs. Kirkman for some
trifing cause, in which. in the language
Of Mr.. Kirkman, the blame was upon
each about half and half. Mrs. Kirk

in.law. Mr.. Zinsmaster. A short time af-
ter. Mr.. Zinsmaster's barn was burned,
and Mr.. Kirkman was accused OF being
the person who set it on fire. Mr.. Zins-
master lived in Polk county, and Mr..
K;rkman was bound over for his appear
anee at the District Court. The day after
the barn was burned Mr.. Kirkman was
taken into the timber, kicked and hauled
about in very rough manner, and was
threatened to be hung then, and proba-
blv would have been had the mob agreed
among themselves. That was in daylight.
Mr.. Kirkman had three parties arrested

consequently discharged. The Dis

next Tuesday, and the chances were very
strong that the parties who mobbed Mr..
Kirkman would not be as fortunate in
getting away. Whether there is any con-

DeS MONIES, Iowa, lelcgTalu, May wi
Early this morning it was rumored
here that George N. Kirkman, a. Story
county farmer, had been taken out of his
bed Sun lay morning and hanged until he
was dead by parties unknown. The re-
port was at first discrcdited, but later in
the day reliable reports were received
stating that such was the fact. A cor
oner's inquest was held Sunday after.
noon. They found the body badly bruised
and manpled, and that he had come to
his death by hanging at the hands OF a
mob, only four or five of whom directly
participated, but as to who the parties
were, nothing was developed. The testi-
mony at the inquest showed that no noise
was heard until MIR. Kirkman vas
seized from Mrs. kirkmar's side in
the bed. So suddenly was ev-
erything done, the rope put
around his neck and hauled out Of the

would not let her. The entire family

several feet. As they passed from the
kitchen.door they Immediately turned
south. went through the front gate
in front Of the south door, and then
turned west. Shortly after passing through
the front gate signs of dragging we're VS.

disappeared. and then for about the last
half Of the distance he was dragged over
the entire ground. 1t appeared that, just
after falling the last time, he was dragged
against and over a stump, after which nc
signs Of struggling were visible. A few
places along the route blood was visible
The tree upon which he was hung was
about four inches in diameter. The l'mt
over which the rope Was drawn was only
about one inch in diameter. The bark
was nearly worn through by the friction

Thos. O'Niell, one of the parties ar
rested. applied to the U. S. circuit court
of Milwaukee, Judge Drummond presid-
ing, and asked that an appraisal of his
distillery be made, which was granted.
In the course Of his remarke the Judge
characterized the law under which the
seizures are made as a severe one, which
ought to be carefully executed.
Five storekeepers in Milwaukee have
already been suspended, and it is ex-
pected that other revenue officers of the
district will suffer the same fate.

Washington Tuesday, to the various SUI
pervisors who are experimenting the
work of Selling the illicit stills to SEND
the names of all revenue officers en-
ployed at any of the establishments seized,

A FIRE YESTERDAY.
Narrow Escape OF the Humboldt
Reduction Works.

About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
dense volumne of smoke was seen
arising from the vicinity of the Hum
boldt Reduction Works by persons at
the Courthouse, who gave the alarm,
and in an instant the cry of " Fire re-
sounded through the town. People
from oil parts of town ran in the direc-
ton of the works, which everybody
supposed were on fire. The railroad
boys FASTENED with the yard engine
(Which is supplied with hose and a
pump) to the scene of the confagration
to assist in suppressing the flames.
The fire having been discovered by the
men employed at the mill before the
townspeople arrived on the ground &C.
tive measures were taken to suppress
it. The fire originated in large pile
of sagebrush at the mill, but whether
it was the work of an incendiary or
caused by accident, is not known.
Sagebrush is used for fuel in general
ing steam at the works, . short dis
lance above which the pile that caught
fire was situated. fortunately tne
wind was blowing up the river, and as
the Ere broke out.in the upper end of
the pile of sagebrush, a stream of water
was turned on and communication be-
tween it and the building was pre-
vented, and the Ere WAS confined to
the sagebrush, the burning of which
was the only loss sustained by the mill
company. 1t was narrow escape,
however, fer if the wind had been
blowing from the north the destruction
of the works was inevitable, and Sc.
rious loss would result not only 20 the
owners but to the interests OF the whole
community.

THE OLD NAS.-Governor Bradley,
who has been in Elllo recuperating his
health since the adjournment Of
the Legislature, was passenger on the
west-bound train last evening. His
health is much better than when he
went up the road three months ago,
but We regret to state the old gentle
man is yet quite feeble. He was warmly
greeted here by many acquaintances,
who were pleased to again have oppor-
tunity to grasp the hand of Governor
whose honesty and integrity in these
degenerate days is without stain or
blemish. He was on his way to the
Capital, where he intends to remain
awhile and see how the boys are get
ting along.

CHATS Saturday night the town was
infested with gnats. They gathered
around lamps and candles. apparently
attracted by the light, and millions of
them were found dead yesterday morn
ing around lamps that were burning late
the night before. We saw pile of
them in Judge Leonard's Office, in the
Courthouse. yesterday, and also at
Levy's store, in both of which places
lights were burning until a late hour
the previous evening. They were
quite small and of greenish color; and
the appearance of such countless mum.
bers of them is unusual and unac-
counted for. They are not so large or
so annoying as their blood-sueking
name-sakes with which the river bot
tom is usually infested at this season
OF the year.
