VINcENNEs, Ind, Jan. ia masked
mob appeared at the Jail this morning in
which Holly Epps, the negro who killed
farmer Dobscn is confined, and demand
ed the keys from the jailor. The latter
refused to give themup and the mob then
attempted to batter down the jail door
so that they might obtain Epps and hang
him. The door, however, withstood the
blows directed against it and the mob dis
persed. 1t is stated they will return TO-
night with largely increased numbers to
make a second attempt to get at the
murderer. The sheriff meanwhile will
endeavor to remove Epps to Evansville,
Ind, where he will be safer than at
Vincennes.

LIGoNIER, Pa, Jan. l6.-Between l
and . O'Clock this morning three masked
men appeared at the house of Samuel
Robinson, who resided four miles south
of here, and demanded admittance. Upon
being refused, they shot several times
through the blinds and finally forced their
way in by breaking down the door. They
then demanded his money, which they
supposed was concealed in the house.
Robinson told them he had nothing,
w%hereupon they attacked him with clubs
and chairs and beat him until he was in
sensible. The williams her nnsacked the
house from cellar to attic, but secured
nothing and left in disgust. Robinson is
still unconscious and will probably die.
He is about so years of age, and resides
with his mother, who was too feeble to
offer any resistance. The robbers are be-
lieved to have been a party OF tramps who
we're seen in the vicinity a few days ago.
The whole countryside is excited, and if
the murderous assailants are caught they
NAV be lynched.

She Took Morphine.

HASTINGS, Neb., Jan. 16.-Last night
about 8 O'Clock, a young woman giving
the name OF Georgia Belle Brakey, com
mitted suicide a. the Arlington hotel by
taking ten graias of morphine. She died
about noon + -day. The deceased came
here about a week ago in company with a
man who gave his name as George Rey-
nolds, and a woman giving the name of
Efic Nufer. These last two occupied a
room together as man and wife, while the
deceased used a room across the hall.
Their board had been paid in advance,
and no account was taken of their actions.
Last night about s O'Clock Miss Brakey
went out, and proceeding to a drug store
under an assumed name, secured ten
grains of morphine, and, repairing to her
room, took it all, as it is supposed from
the fact that none could be found 10 the
room. The rash act was not discovered
until this morning, when they attempted
to awaken her. No response being re-
ceiyed, the door was opened, and she was
discovered on the bed in an unconscious
state. Efforts were made to revive her,
bat all were useless. She did not regain
her senses before death. The cause lead
ing to this act, as learned from some con
versation between her and the other lady,
is probably that she had been betrayed,
and had left home in consequence, wish
ing to save her parents the disgrace. To-
day the remains will be inferred in the
potter's field unless some friends come
and claim them.

CouNon'BLUFFs, Ia, Jan. 1G.-Sev-

Derksen, kept one of the leading tensorial
parlors in the city. A fire Quilted his es-
Enlistment, and after receiving 81, 700 in
surance he suddenly left the city, leaving
numerous creditors to mourn his absence.
His wife followed him the next day, and
at the transfer her baggage was seized for
debt, but she paid the same and was al
lowed to proceed. Derksen awaited his
wife at Cheyenne, and from there they
%iourneyed together to San Diego, Gala.

thought himself secured from his crcdi-
tors in Iowa. He furnished a handsome
residence and lived in style, An officer
located him and soon seized upon his eff
fccts for debt, and all Of his goods were
sold at sheriff. sale. After this seizure,
but before the sale, Derksen again de-
camped, leaving his wife behind, and a

sen was in actual want, and Vas an object

YoNKEPs, N. Y, Jan. I6.-A small
wooden building loosely thrown together.
in which were $50 pounds of dynamite
stored in a frozen state at the Croton aque-
duct, was blown up at II 20 this morning,
spreading destruction in all directions.
Around the building were the engine and
compressor rooms Of the shaft, boarding
houses and other buildings, all badly dam
aged. A peculiar feature of the affair
is the fact that nobody was hurt, with the
exception of Mrs. Fox, who keeps a
boarding house near the spot, and she
only received slight bruises. Glass in all
houses in the neighborhood was broken
people at a distance thought the shock was
caused by an earthquake.

News Notes From ali Sections of Value
TO Cattlemen.

One OF the most important cases ever
tried in Omaha will come up before the
United States Court in a few days. 1t
involves about 1925, 0O0. About two
years ago the Rankin Cattle company
brought several thousand head of cattle
into Nebraska from Texas. A large
number of them were sold to cattle com.
panies near Brady Island. Soon after
their importation the cattle in that vicini-
ty began to die in large numbers. The
disease was a peculiar one and for a time
baffied the veterinarians. 1t was finally
decided, however, hat it was what is
known as Texas fever. 1t is claimed that
the disease was brought by the cattle i'm
ported from Texas, and that the native
cattle caught it from them. The so-called
Texas fever is a disease which of late has
attracted a great deal of attention.
The cattlemen who are driving their
cattle up from Texas have stopped on the
| Oklahoma land in the Indian Territory,
and claim that they are weather bound
there for the winter. The secretary of
the interior has been asked to give per-
mission for them to remain on the Okla
homa lands for the winter, and it has
been published that Mr.. Lamar is going
to modify his order directing the removal
of all cattle from this land, so as to allow
these men with their cattle to remain
there. 1t is stated at the department that
while an application of this character has
been made to the secretary. he has not
granted it, and that he has not withdrawn
in the least from the position which he
has taken-that all intruders on these
lands must vacate.
The agitation at present being carried
on in regard to the immense loss annually
sustained by the reckless and destructive
branding now in vogue, throughout all
the range country, cannot but be produc-
tive of good. Were each state and terri
tory so affected as to initiate the example
Of the states of the Argentine Confeder-
alton, which require that the brand hal
be located at a certain place on the ami
NAL, and under no circumstances cover a
surface larger than six inches square, the
result would be an immense saving to the
leather industry. At the approaching
convention OF the large cattlemen this
subject should be discussed, If nothing
more resulted from such discussion than
a presentation of the ideas on the sub
iect, of the different sections Of the coun-
try most effected by it.

Origin of theatrical Custom.

The custom of calling actors and dra.
matists before the curtain is not as o ID as
might be imagined. In Germany it was
the famous tragedian, Ludwig Schroeder,
who. in 1880, first yielded to the APP
plause of the Hamburg public and APP
peared before the curtain. Lessino de
cidedly discountenanced the calling out
of the drramatist, but did not object to
the actors appearing before the curtain
After Schroeder had set the example. il
became not only the general practice OF
actors TO appear in response to applause,
but to express thanks i'm a set speech.
This, in turn. led an interesting writer
al the beginning Of this century to com
pile book for the use of actors i'm this
emergency. containing fitting words of
acknowledgment for every role i'm the
