r. p Wallace, the supposed murderer of
the Logan family of five persons, father,
mother and three children, of Cuba, Mo-,
was taken from the Jail at steelvilie on
the night Of Oct. 9th by a mob and
lynched.
The guilty man had been taken to Steel
vile from Cuba, Mo-, for safe keeping
from his cell and hung him up. He was
cut down in order that confession might
be forced from him, but he refused, and
the shrif hurried him back to his cell.
A more succefessful attempt was made
on the 9th inst, to mete out Justice to the
murderer. A masked mob of about 1C0
men gathered around the Jail at midnight
and demanded entrance of the jailer. This
was refused and the mob battered down
the doors A delegation Of their members
was sent to bring out the prisoner, while
others were detailed to guard the roads
leading to the scene. Wallace was
Weakened from his sleep, dragged out and
was asked IL he had anything to say. He
responded by strongly. protesting his in
nocence, still adhering to the story that it
was the Negro Vaughn who was guilty.
This angered the crowd more than ever and
with shout they produced a rope, one
end OF which they placed around the
murderer's neck; The other end was
near the jail. The prisoner still protested
his innocence, and appealed for mercy,
but without avail. Strong hands grasped
the rope and Wallace's body was swung
III tho ali. <tnotutT CuauCe was nOt given
him to confess and in few minutes he
was dead. The mob then dispersed and
jail officers took possession Of the body.
Millions Involved.
An important land Office decision has
been made by Commissioner Sparks in
volving the title to certain valuable lands
in the vicinity of New Orleans. covered in
part by the town Of Carrollton, and upon
other parts by buildings and improve
ments Of great value, including the race
course, the Mataire Ridge cemetery and
the shell road and railroad from New Or
leans to Lake Ponchartrain. This property
has been claimed and possessed since last
century under a French grant, which has
been surveyed and regranted from the
public domain. The adverse claimants
asserted title by virtue of certain swamp
and other selections under grants to the
state of Louisiana. Commissioner Sparks
holds that the French grant IL a complete
title protected by the treaty of 1903, and
not needing legislative or other conflrma-
tion by the United States, and that the
lands being private property at the date
OF the state cRrants did not pass under
those grants. The amount involved In
this decision reaches several million dol
lars.
