What seems to be the trouble?'
asked the cashier.
''The fust one wasn't calkiIated to

inquired the cashier.
cit went of, and that was chiefly the
trouble" was the response. "You see,
the picnic was to raise some money to
pay interest on the mortgage and the
balance to go to the heather. The
women turned loose and made pie,
and we men got some lemons and
buckets, and if we'd stopped there it
would have been all right. Lemonade
and pie was good enough for anybody,
but some smart Alexis thought we

but the fountain made trouble. The
way we fixed it was to let the nozzle of

meal. Thought it would be pleasant

HANGED FIVE TIMES,
story Of the Victim of an Attempted
LynchinG at Polk City. la, from
which He Escapes with His Life.

A reporter of the Des Moines Regis
ter called on De Laire-the principal of
the Polk City matinee-at the city jail
and asked him regarding the lynchin 9
matinee, week before last. He told a
story that was interesting enough, and
if he can prove what he asserts to be
true there will be another interesting
time IN court. He stated how he was
arrested by Mr.. Terrell, who, he thinks.
had no right to arrest him, not being a
peace officer nor a man with the neces-
sary authority. He says he was kept
at TerrilPs house until late in the day,
and in the evening Mr.. Terrell procur-
ed a man of Polk City to assist in keep
ing De Laire under guard. About g
o'clock this party went down the road
and to De LAire he appeared to be
looking for, or expecting some one.
De Lalre noticed a man coming UP
the road with a mask over his face.
This, of course was suspicious, and when
he saw eleven of them follow he knew
at once that there was something to
happen. In the meantime. however,
he inferred that they had arrested him
on suspicion of having been
in completely with the murderers
of R. w. Stubs, and he, of course,
knew what an Infatuated mob might do.
He says they took him by force, put
a sack over his head and dragged him
about quarter of a mile along the
wagon road to q grove of trees, and up
on reaching a tree with limb sufi-
GENTLY low, they placed a rope over the
limb and hauled him up. When he fell
he was insensible. On coming to, they
asked him what he knew of the Stubb' s
murder, and he denied any knowledge
of it. They drew him up again, and
again he professed ignorance. In this
way he was pulled up by the rope four
times, each time he protested innocence
of the murder. The fifth time he was
drawn up and let down he told the as
sumed story which was published in
the Register at the time. He made
this up in order to save his life, and
probably it did, for the desire of the
lynchers to only scare would likely have
resulted in his death if they had made
another attempt TIE story was en-
tirely assumed and it has since been
learned that on the night ofthe murder
De. Laire and other parties mentioned
were all IN Charlton. De Laire is con-
tident he knows the parties who at
tempted to lynch him, and states that
he has good proof of their identity.
