Trouble In Iowa.

Reports from Davis City, Decatur county
Ia, say that citizens, in view of the lona
series of lawlessness and crime by gang oi
deperadoes, led by Irving Tucker and one
Taiter, banded together on the 31st ult.,
seized Tucker and hung him. Taiter was
also captured and said he was ready to
swing, if he was allowed to kill Toplifie and
Frisby, two citizens, against whom he had a
grudge, but he was taken from the mob and
placed in Jail. The mob then went to the
bagnio of Martha McLain, tore down the
house and destroyed its contents. During
the fray, sympathizers of Tucker and Taiter
set the Commercial Printing Office on FIRE.
Much excitement prevails and more trouble
is anticipated.

to the United States is SO small that when

only, ship owners being unwilling to scram.
