OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN HUNG.
And II Was Only by Persistent Efforts
that HIS Worthless Carcass Was Pro-
tected.

Special to the Omaha Bee from Long
Pine, Nebraska: At 2 o'clock this after.
noon an unknown tramp outraged the g.
year-old daughter OF John wilkins, n resi-
dent Of this place. The whole town turned
out and engaged in hunt for the brute.
He was captured during the afternoo n
about five miles from town and returned
to the place just about dark. He was
brought before the outraged girl and she
positively identified him as her assailant.
He was Immediately brought before J.
Cartwright, justice Of the peace, for pre-.
liminary hearing. Excitement ran high.
The people began to gather in and around
the court room until the number reached
at least 500. Loud threats were made OF
lynching and preparations were under way
to put them into execution.
The ravisher was remanded to the county
Jail to await trial for his crime. The con-
stable who had him in charge. seeing IL was
impossible for him to protect his prisoner
alone, called for assistance, and thirty men
were sworn in as special officers.
John Wilkins, the father OF the outraged
child made desperate effort to shoot tho
fight by the constable and his deputies.
1t was still daylight and the excitement
increased with every passing moment. 1t
was decided to board the first train and
take the prisoner to Ainsworth. The even
ing passenger train was almost due. Dark
ness was gathering last and the officers
feared II they did not reach the depot be-
fore the night set in the man would be
taken from them and hanged to the most
convenient limb.
The rapist was placed in the center OF
the thirty deputies with drawn revolyers,
and marched to the depot platform. Sew
eral unsuccessful attempts were made to
break the corodon OF guards surrounding
him but without success.
Among the crowd we're several experts in
using the lariats and several futile at
tempts we're made to throw ropes over the
heads OF the deputies, about the head and
neck OF the prisoner and choke him in the
midst OF his protectors.
The depot platform was reached and
again and again lariats went whizzing
through the air, but each time missed the
object Of their mission. The crowd could
have taken the prison in q minute II they
desired to create conflict with his protec-
tors They were cool enough not to pre-
cipitate fight that would result in the
shedding OF innocent blood.
The train arrived and the brutal ravisher
was hustled on board, pale, blancbed and
expecting that each moment the crowd
would close in and take him. A desperate
attempt was made to secure him. Forty
men followed the guards but were driven
back. As quick as possible the train pulled
out and the brute was finally safely landed
in the county jail at Ainsworth.
The most remarkable feature OF the afYair
is the successful work OF the constable and
his deputies in saving their man from the
Infatuated crowd OF people. The crime was
most brutal one. Nothing is known Of
the criminal or his previous history.

A Prolific Sheep Country

The Argentine Republic contains
about one-fourth the area Of the United
States, exclusive Of Alaska, and lies
between corresponding degrees of lati-
tude.N Sheep growing has long been a
prominent business there, the sheep
being managed much on the ranch sys-
tenn of our western plains. An esti-
mate In Buneos Ayres journal indi-
Gates that the number OF sheep in the
Republic has increased from 4l,0oo,oo
in 1870 to $4,000, 900 in 1884, and the
wool production from l37.ooo,ooc
pounds to 800, 000.0 900, being now equal
to il not in excess OF the annual pro-
duction in the United States.

SIR HENRY JAMES, Truth Nondon)
SAYS, is the victim of smart repartee.
His opponent at Bury said that he SO
or, atty respected Lord Salisbury that
if he were to propose home rule he
should vote in favor of it. Sir Henry
replied that he respected Mr.. Gladstone
quite as much, but that if hundred
Gladstones were to propose home rule
he should vote against it. Sir Henry
wrote to the chairman of his committee
to ask him whether under the present
circumstances, this utterance precluded
him from joining Mr.. Gladstone's adj
ministration. The chairman replied
that it did.

Tho Sailor Fish.

In the warm waters OF the Indian ocean
strange mariner is found that has given rise
to many curious tales among the natives of
the coast thereabout. They tell of won
derful sail often seen in the calm seasons
preceding the terrible hurricaGes that
course over those waters. Not a breath
then disturbs the water, the sea rises and
falls like vast sheet Of glass. Suddenly
the sail appears, glistening with rich pur-
pie and golden hues, and seemingly driven
along by mighty wind. On 1t comes,
quivering and sparkling, as II bedecked
with gems, but only to disappear as IL by
magic. Many travellers had heard with
unbelief this strange tale; but one day the
phantom craft actually appeared to the
crew OF an Indian steamer, and as 1t passed
by under the stern OF the vessel, the queer
"sail" was seen to belong to a gigantic
sword fish, now known as the sailor fish.
The sail was really an enormou;ly.deyelope
dorsal fin that was over ten feet high, and
was richly colored with blue and irrldescent
tints; and as the fish swan along on or near
the surface Of the water, this great fin natu-
rally waved to and fro, so that, from dis
tance, 1t could easily be mistaken for a
curious sail. Some Of these fishes attain a
length OF over twenty feet, and have large,
cTescent-shaped tails and long, sworl-llke
snouts, capable OF doing great damage. In
the Mediterranean sea a sword fish is found
that also has large fin. but II does not
equal the great sword fish OF the Indian
ocean.-St. Nicholas.

Banouet to speaker Carlisle.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: Tuesday
evening the citizens Of Wichita rendered
banquet to Mr.. Speaker Carlisle, who has
been visiting here for about two weeks. and
with whom everyone seems greatly pleased.
Several speeches were made at the banquet,
setting forth iu glowing terms the very
high estimstion IN which Mr.. Carlisle is
held throug - out the country. 1t Ia safe to
cay that II the people OF Kansas were
Obliged to elect Democrat for President,
they would rally In huge majority for the
speaker But there was no politics ut the
banquet, and Republicans AMI Democrats
alike united In doing honor to tue guest OF
The evening.
Last night, however, the speaker del!v.
cred an address on political issues at the
OIera house. As usual, his speech was
clear logical, and able, being mainly dl.
rec, I'd IN II consideration Cf arm and imam
cial questions. 1t was free from anything
like "ofTensive partisanship," and was lis.
tened to by large audience with great at.
tenton and respect. But Il significant ln-
cident occurred which indicates how thor.
oughly Kansas is wGdrleh 10 her old love.
In the couIse oI his address ths speaker at.
tempted to male \ quotation Eom one OF

the thread and current OF Mr. .rlisle's
speech Nothing Ike dIsrespect was In
tended to the speaker for everybody WIS
delighted with the opportunitv to hear
him. But the fact is that MIR. Blaine is so
thoroughly ingratiated In the affections Of
the people OF this part OF the
country that their sentiments
are liable to display themselves at any time,
regardless OF all other considerations. 1t
looks as though Blaine would have the solid
Republican delegation from this state In
1898 without turning finger In his own be-
half. Nobody here knows whether he
wants II or not, but that doesn't seem to
make much difference. In his address at
the banquet Mr.. Carlisle expressed his be.
lief that Wichita would soon have 100000
population, with corresponding commercial
interests. KANSAS.
