Murder and Lynchinu.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, September o.
Pope Mitchell, an ex-policeman, and now
streetcar driver, was murdered on his car
this afternoon by Chas. Williams, a mu-
latto, who fired four shots at him, hitting
him each time, and killing him instantly
After long chase Williams was captured
and taken to the jail, large crowd follow
ing him with loud threats of hanging.
There are very strong probabilities that
Williams will be lynched before morning, as
an immense crowd now surrounds the jail.
They are in earnest, and serious trouble Is
apt to result before morning. Three
companies of militia, the Chattanooga
Cadets. Chicamauga Cadets and Chatta-
nooga Light Infantry, are on guard duty
at the jail, and as they are armed with
breech -loaders the chances for bloodshed
in case of an assault on the jail are very
good. At midnight the situation is very
grave one, and possibly the Knoxville hor-
ror will be repeated, or innocent blood now.
Later-The mob broke open the Jail doors,
and are at work on the cell door OF the
murderer. The militia, failing to get
orders from the Governor, have been with
drawn, and in all probability Williams Will
be lynched in less than an hour.
SEPTEMBER Z, 1915 A. M.-The mob finally
broke open the door of No. IS, took the
guilty wretch to the upper floor and hanged
him in the hall. Then the crowd, satisfied
with its bloody work, dispersed. The
negro was hung to rafter in the Jail in
most methodical and systematic manner.
He was taken from his cell and carried up
stairs, when his hands and his feet were se-
curely tied. A heavy rock was tied to his
feet, the lynchers lifted him up and dropped
him, and he strangled to death in three
minutes. An hour before he shot Mitchell
Williams had been elected from the car
for entering it, while drunk, in boisterous
manner, smoking in the presence of ladies,
and when asked for his fare refused to pay
it. He followed the car, and while it was
waiting on switch shot the driver. At
midnight there was fusilade at the Jail,
and it is reported that white man and
negro were shot, but no particulars can be
obtained.

MOUNTAINEERING osAGEs.

How One Indian Tribe Became Million
A good many years ago the Usage
tribe of Indians was in Kentucky. The
whites came along and wanted their
lands. The government said to the
Osages: go over in Illinois. and we'll
give you land there for $3.50 an acre
and pay you IS for your Kentucky land. =
The Indians had to go. Before long
the whites caught up with them, and
the story was: SEQ over to Missouri,
and we'll give you land for S1.50 per
acre and pay you $40 for this. They
went. The ak of the white man was
soon heard, and again the story went:
$50 over to Kansas, and We'll give you
land for ST .25, and pay you S15for this. !"
SGreat Scott, = said the Usage chiefs, or
whatever the Usage for that mild exp!e-
tive is, ''we'll keep moving as long as
you like at this rate" So over to Kan
sas they went. Here they staid few
years, and at last the government said:
''See here, we can't GO on doing this.
Well have to put you over in the In
dian Territory, where We'll give you
land for nothing and will pay you SIS
an acre for this. 1t is easy to suppose
that the Osages went, and there they
are to-day. But this isn't all the story.
There arc to-day just 267 Osages. They
have in bank great sum of money
which makes them the richest Indians
in the country, and not only that, they
have in the Indian Territory tract OF
rich land that is as large as Massachu-
sets, New Hampshire, Vermont and
Delaware combined, and as fertile as
the Garden of Eden. This land the
seattle kings" have got hold of by pay
ing the chiefs small sum for the bar
gain and receiving lease in return at a
lower rate. The young Osages think
this rather hard lines, but they have
got SO much money that they don'tneed
to grumble; in fact, many people will
wish they. were Osages when they read
this story.-Philadetphia Meas.

WAITING TO BE swINDLED.

In Philadelphia, the other day, man
pretending to be sailor went into a
bakers shop and asked for person for
whom he had bought some Jewels in a
foreign land. He was exhibiting the
casket when in rushed an alleged pawn
broker, who, pronouncing the Jewels
worth 5000, offered $3.50. The sailor
demanded $3.50, and the paWnbroker
went away for the money. The sailor
soon after departed. when the pawn
broker coming back upbraided the baker
for letting the man go and took his de-
parture, telling the baker to advance
the sailor 800 and he would call and
take the treasures off his hands. 7 he

he had been frightened away because
the goods had been Struggled. Fear of
arrest induced him to offer the Jewels to
the baker for $50. He eagerly accepted,

sailor or pawnbroker. The 'jewels''
were worth fifty cents. Detroit Free

in Child's Stomach.

HARTFORD CITY, IND, September o.
Lille M. Hahn, seven years of age, living
three miles south of this city, commences
complaining of pain in the stomach over
three months ago. She gradually became
worse until, during a paroxysm OF suher-
ing, she was threatened with convulsions.
She often described her sensations as thar
something was alive in her stomach, ana
said she could feel it move. She wasImed-
icated much of the time, and {oIten worm
medicine was administered, the idea pre-.
Vailing that it was stomach worms tha'
caused her suffering. She pecanle
emaciated, weak and almost bloodlesS
her APPETITE was depraved, and she Uooh

She was troubled with great thirst, oILen
drinking copious draughts of water, aIber
which she would be relieved for an houf OF
more. During thelast week she complain
ed of pain in her bowels, and her sutferlngs
at times became almost unbearable. one
was confined to her bed, and her friends
thought dissolution would soon END neF
agony. On Friday morning last she
expelled from the bowels an object
once exclaimed to her parents: II am
better now; Oh, feel so goodW Micro
scopic observations developed the fact
that the object discharged from the bowels
of the little sufferer was a species OF water
snake, and it is now in the possession OF
a reporter, and has been since Friday
noon, and, what is NOR startling, it is alive
and quite active. 1t is kept in rain water
in a stopped bottle. When the water ls
chilled it becomes torpid, and when sub
iected to heat it soon becomes active.
Under the microscope it has been seen 10
protrude its tongue, which resembles the
point OF fine needle. It is perfectly round,
its entire length. Now, after sixty
hours have elapsed since it was dis
charged, it is apparently as lively as at
first. The child is rapidly recovering, and
experiences none of the sensations that
troubled it prior to being relieved OF ITS
have seen the reptile and witnessed Its
gyratory movements in wonder and
amazement. 1t has none of the character
istics of tape-worm or any other form OF
entozoic life described by authors. The
child must have drank water Of which 1t
was an inhabitant, and it gradually de-
veloped and was finally discharged from
the stomach and expelled by the bowels.

THE VALUE OF TREES.

Why the Planting of Fruit aud Timber
Trees is to be- Considered Profitable
Investment.
There can be little doubt that the
planting of fruit and other trees in
Kansas, that thirty or more years ago
was almost destitute of forests, has per-
ceptibly increased the rainfall there, and
will in time, perhaps, revolutionize the
climate of that fertile State. We have
seen the statement made, on the author
ity of the Governor of Kansas, that the
fruit trees which have been grown there
since 1850 exceed 20,000,000, and the
forest trees 200, 900 acres, many of which
have been arti6cially planted. There
are places in Kansas and some other
prairie States where protection of land
from fire will lead to the springing up
spontaneously of forest growth, but the
State Government of Kansas has wisely
encouraged the planting of forest trees
on large scale, and we presume that
the estimates made by the Governor are
based mainly on this artificial planting.
In any event it is a suggestive hint for
the older States which have been de-
nuded of their virgin forests with gen
orally very little regard for the value OF
the precious timber cut down and wan
tonly destroyed, that valuable trees may
be planted and grown in comparatively
few years on waste land of no value for
any other purpose. Walnut logs are
being sought all over the United States
for shipment to Scotland and other
foreign ports. Those may be grown as
easily as asilverpoplari in all this region.
We have helped relay fences within
fifteen miles of Cincinnati less than five
years ago with rails split from walnut
logs five feet in diameter, as shown by
the stumps not yet rotted from the ada
cent ground. There are farms now
within half a days ride from Cincinnati
that the walnut, hickory, oak, ash and
other lumber, which has been cut down
and burned up to get rid of within the
memory of persons living, would buy
thrice over if standing on them to-day.
These Things are worth considering by
people having scrap of land otherwise
useless large enough to plant a hundred
trees upon. Cincinnati Times.
