And her darling feet are waiting
Up above the golden stair.

A KANSAS MOB.

Tho Weaver Brothers. Accused of Killing
Abel Shearer, RiddIed With Bullets.
. ANTHONY, Kan, April 2O.-About two
months ago fight occurred in the village OF
Danville, near this place. between three
brothers named Weaver and Abel Shearer.
Shearer was fatally wounded and the Wea-
yer boys arrested and hurried away to avoid
mob violence. Last week they were re.
turned for trial, but their cases We're contin.
ued for a term, with bail fixed at SlO,G
each. At one O'Clock yesterday morning
a mob of forty or more armed men sur
rounded the residence of the sheriff, where
the prisoners were under guard. The guard
hearing them rushed the prisoners out back
door into the basement of the new school
building. The sheriff was taken prisoner
by the mob and guarded. The deputies
finding it useless to resist surrendered. The
Weaver brothers defended themselves IN
the struggle for life with a revolver they
had taken from one of the deputies, but
were finally overpowered by the mob and
disarmed. Ropes were placed about their
necks and preparations made to hang them
10 the rafters but the tramp of approaching
feet frightened the mob and they fired IS,
aud 20 shots into each man, literally
shooting them to pieces, and mounting
their horses rode rapidly away. No one
knows who they were. The mother of the
boys and the wife of one of them witnessed
the entire tragedy:

Athison and Deputy Sheriff Edmonsoa
went down to Benton City Sunday night to
arrest John Shoots, who cut William Mo-
berty very seriously Saturday night in a
drunken melee at the stable of Joseph
Botkins. Shoots stabbed Moberty with
knife, which entered the left side two
inches below the armpit, extending up
wards, coming in close proximity to vital
parts and making dangerous wound. The
Sheriff returned yesterday morning, not
finding Shoots. Last evening he came to
town and delivered himself up. His pre-
limnary examination comes up on the 9th.
