PROSPECTS FOR A LYNCHING BEE.


SUMNER, Iowa, June S.-The Barber
boys were taken to the Independence
jail the night of June to keep them
from the mob. The sheriff of Bremen
county returned with them at l o'clock
to-day, and they are in the W9yerly
jail. The prospects are that they will
be hung tonight or tomorrow night.
LATER.
DUBUQUE, June Sat II O'Clock to-
night word Comes that q mob at Wa
verify a-e attacking the Jail with crow
bars, pickaxes and all kinds Of weapons
trying to effect an entrance. If the
mob gets hold Of the BARRIERS they will
be strung up at short notice.
STILL LATER-THE LYNCHING CoNsUM-
MATED.
DUBUQUE, June 8.-The Rerald's spe-
cial from Waverly says: The Barber
boys were taken from the jail by mob
at 11:30 o'clock tonight and huAg to
tree half mile east of the jail. The
mob was composed of men from Fay
cite county and were led by brother
of the man whom the BARRIERS
killed last fall at West Union
the sheriff refused to give up the keys.
The mob battered down the doors
with sledge hammers and after short
delay inside brought the criminals out
with ropes around their necks. The
boys did not finch a particle
and did not ovop ,,Iood for
mercy during the whole ordeal.

The Brainerd, Grand Forks and

over two years has been talked of,

place was made vice President, and the
route of the survey established. The
surveyors are nearly to Red Lake Falls
at this time. After reaching the Falls
they return on the line some ten miles
and run line from that point through
GENTLY, Carman, cross the Red Lake
at Fisher, terminating at Grand Forks.
From Red Lake Falls they go to War

a Pioneer Press reporter to whom he
delivered himself in regard to certain
railroad matters. Here is what he
says touching the proposed Fargo,

DO you think that the Fargo, Grand

"No. What is the object in build.

Our Canadian neighbors have a habit
peculiar to themselves of attributing
every evil to one or the other of the
political parties: A A1anitoban ex-
change dwells upon the. bad sanitary
condition of its town, connecting the
discussion Of the question with the
names of John A. Mcdonald and Oil

is, that the newspapers always have a
target to shoot at. It is a dull time of
the year when an editor cannot make

PEMB1NA, DIT, FRIDAY, JUNE Is, 1883.
a. DANGEROUS. sYMPTeM.

&
The public has been called upon to
witness another act in the tragical
pniontown drama: Young Mutt, after
weeks Of deliberate preparation,
took his opportunity, shot Dukes and
thus avenged the death of his father.
Few will mourn the fate of Dukes.
He deserved death, if ever a wretch
did. NeYertheless,!:we regret to see
some papers making this affair the
pretext for encouraging the practice of
mob law. The Minneapolis Journal
goes so far as to glorify young Mutt
and declare his act consistent with
eternal Justice. Says the Journal:
Allpublic opinion requires is that the
avenger shall besure that his victim is
guilty. We do not place these words
in type as the peculiar or exclusive
opinion of The Journal, but simply as
the cystalized sentiment of the pre.
poAderlnlg mass of people in this coun.
But the trouble is that the s:public
opinion that governs an excited mob
will never stop to weigh evidence.
The public may, indeed, be disgusted,
now and then, at the failure of Jury
to meet out justice to some death de-
serving criminal. But if the prac.
tice of lynching is to be encouraged
and commended by the public, where
will it end! Without diminishing
crime it will tend more and more to
weaken the force of law and order.
Rather let a remedy be applied where
the evil exists. Let there be a move
ment to modify OF abolish the Jury
system. Let all our courts of law he
made independent of party politics.
Especially let us not give aid and en-.
couraSement to a practice in its very
nature designed to weaken the influ-
ence OF our courts of justice and de-
moralize the cause of law and
order.
