charged with having ravishsd 5-year-old
white girl at Walton last Sunday was
hanged near Burlington at | O'Clock Friday
morning. The mon, about eighty strong,
gathered at Florence at Midnight 1t was
composed of desperate men from Florence
and vicinity, and was aided by delegations
from Union and Walton. Some we're on
horseback, some in spring wngoas, and some
afoot All we're pretty web loaded with hot
stuff and bent upon desperate work The
night was pitch dark, and the narrow
crooked road ,vsr hill and through valley
for seven long miles was Travelled by the
mob The trip over to Burlington was an
exciting one, Dozsns of bottles of whisky
were consumed, and the woods rang with
pistOl-shots fired for mere bravadO. When
Burlington was reached the members of the
mob came very near falling afoul of each
other. Some of them wanted to hang Dun
kard, who was in jail for murder. For ten
minutes there we're tine liveliest scenes ever
witnessed at a Kentucky lynching. The
assassin's friends stood up for him and saved
his life. But lsvolveIs were drawn and
fred, men fought desperately, and blood
was spilled in rivuletS. Several of the mob
were badly injured and were led or by
friends.
Upon reaching the jail, about o'clock,
the lynchers broke down the doors with
heavy sledges and after finding Scales cell
took him oul, hound him hand and foot,
and took him short distance from town,
where wagon was in waiting. He
was greatly frightened, and begged
piteously Tor mercy, exclaiming: q
am innocent The mob, however,
was determi red, and paid no atten,
ton 10 his appeals. He sand his name wa

they liked but he wanted chance TO make
a statement, and could conviAce them II hi.
innocence. There was no use however, for
him Go expostulate. He was put into she
wagon and taken out the pike several miles
where he was hanged. The mob then quietly
dispersed.
Scales was horribly maltreated by the
mob When he was being taken from the
Jail he was thrown down the stone steps and
shockingly cut in the head. From hi,
wound blood spurted and besmeared his
clothing. He was otherwise roughly
handled. The Jail resisted the attack fol
half an hour; but the lyncherS were desper

that after the mob had finished their WORT
they encountered the sheriff and posse

Arbnr DAY.

Ths ladies of Devils Lake have de-
cided to make Arbor Day saturday,
April 25th) an important occasion. At
a meeting held Saturday evening at the
Benham House committees were ap.
pointed and a program decided upon.
Trees are to be planted on the church
lots, at the depot, the school house and
the fire engine house. A procession
will form at 3 o'clock in the afternoon
and march to the different places indi-
Gated and trees will be planted and re-
marks made by local speakers. After
the ceremony a lunch will be served in
the Benham sample room. Admission
rs cents; the proceeds to be applied to
paying for the trees and erecting de-
lenses about them. Arbor Day was
celebrated this year in many of the
states with great pomp and ceremony,
and there is every reason why it should
be made an important event in Dakota.
1t would be q good idea to suspend
business for one hour next Saturday.

Vacant Lands.

There are many thousands of acres
of vacant lands within a radius of ten
to twenty-five miles of this city-and as
good lands as can be found anywhere i n
Dakota. The inclination on the part of
new comers to push on 100 or $50 miles
west of this city comes naturally of
course from a belief that all the lands
h~ereahouts have been taken, but land
hunters should stop and consider the
fact that those who anne a year ago
thought the very same thing.
Fifteen to twenty miles north of this
city can be found the very best of agri-
cultural and stock lands; ten to fifteen
miles east Of here but very few houses
can be found, and one land agent tells
US he knows of half a dozen frst.class
quarters within four to six miles of the
railroad.
The theory that there is ''something
better further on can easily be explod-
ed by a little investigation.

FROM many parts of South Dakota,

FROM many parts Of South Dakota,
rs we'll as North, come complaints show
ing deep dissatisfaction with the late leg
islature. We know it is a very common
thing to swear ut a legislature-to ridi-
Guile and. poke fun at it; but in our hum
BILE opinion no people of any state ever
had less reason to feel proud of their
legislative body than have the people of
Dakota. No one knows what was really
done, and efforts to get certified copies of
measures passed are next to being fruit
less. Some of the bills passed affecting
important matters cannot be found and
others appear to have been altered 50
As to materially change the purpose for
which they were intended, There is
neither head nor tail, in fact, to lust win
ter's legislature, and we are prepared not
to be surprised at anything hat may
occur to make the session q greater
scandal than ii already appears to be.
There should be a congressional inves-
tigation of the whole proceeding and
the whole list of 'laws'' made should be
wiped from the statutes.

Experience has taught tree plant
ers that Cottonwood Seedlings are
one of the best species of deciduous trees
to plant on Timber Culture claims and
groves for the protection of farm houses,
stock ranches and various plart~Sons.
Growing very fast, it makes gable
timber in less than twenty years, and ten
acres would be worth a price few would
be willing to name. Owing to the excess
sive drought the past summer, cotton
wood yearlings did not grow large
enough to transplant. Two-year-olds
are scarce and more expensive to get out.
I have, however, a fine stock of these
buried III the ground ready for early
spring planting. By Il process Of my
W invention, I prepare Cottonwood
Cuttings so they will be sure to strike
roots. Many planters prefer these, as
they arc cheaper and easier planted; but
they will require better prepared soil
and more hoelng. White Willow, Box
.El4cr, Hard Maple and Ash are so we'll
known that it is unnecessary to dwell
thereon. If every one would try and
plant a few trees of some kind where
they are needed, there would soon be
many beautiful spots, atlording pleasure
to beast and birds, as we'll as man.

THE MINNESOTA RUPTURE.

Minnesota Democracy is in consider
able of q stew; that is to say, they find
themselves in the same position that the
Republicans of many other states have
found themselves in times past, to wit:
all torn up in strips. Two well-defined
factions are already formed, and when
Donnelly gets back from the grave of
Shakespeare he viii attempt tn form a
other faction. But, come to think, Don
nelly is not considered n Democrat in
Minnesota, whatever he may have rep
resented himself to be in Washington.
Donnelly belongs to the party represent
ed by-Donnelly. He is neither H. Re
publican, a Democrat nor q n1ugwump.
Donnelly ii for DonnelFty1 first, finally and
forevermore; hsethe is always reach
ing for the persimmon. He is a free
Trader or q protectionist as the wind
blows; a saint or a satan with the moral
tide; and last but not least, as we said
before, he is for Donnelly.
On the other hand, Pat Kelly and Mr..
Doran, the latter member of the DEM
ocratic state central committee of Min
nesota and the former a member of the
National Democratic committee, have
given notice that applicants for Federal
positions in the Northwest must first
be capable and honest; secondly
they must get the Endorsement
of local Democrats, and thirdly
they must make their wishes and
ambitions known to and place
their petitions in the hands of Kelly
and Doran. This knocks Donnelly on
the head three several times. First, it
is claimed he is not honest; second, he
cannot get the requisite local indorse-
ment, and, thirdly, were he to ask Kelly
and Do:an for anything he wouldn't get
it, because Kelly and Doran can't trust
him.
Pat Kelly lis to Minnesota what Dan
Manning is to New York; while Don
nelly is the Henry Ward Beecher-full
of pretty moral sayings, but lacking
many desirable essentials of eminent
citizenship; wordy of mouth, but insin-
cere of heart.
1t is a pretty political fight and will
be closely watched by the people of the
northwest.
