to give them notice that the Senator was

Prof. F. W, Cragin, Of Washburn
College, discovered at Downs, Osborne
county, Kan, the petrified remains
Of n huge fossil. Prof. Cragin pro-
nounces it the most remarkable speci-
men found since 1877. He thinks it
belongs to either the ichthyosaurus
or the mosasurus species, more prob
ably the latter. The animal CON-
plete wac q little over 1G feet in
length. The jaws measure three feet
light inches. the neck is between four
and five feet long, and the body
about nine feet long and three or
four feet through. 1t had immense
teeth about three inches in length,
and each pair worked independent of
the rest like pairs of hooked shears.
The animal was ofsuch gigantic pro-
portions it would have been able to
crush a horse in it's massive jaws and
must have been king of the water.
1t had Clippers quite similar to q seal,
and it's fa*, two in number, were
short, 1t is plain that it was an
aquatic animal of the reptiliau age.

to work to dig him out. They concluded he
was dead and arrangements were made for
the funeral to take place on Monday. They
kept on digging for the body and on Sunday
they were startled to hear the prisoner speak

The curbing had 50 fallen a. to let in air
and protect him from the weight of the
dirt. The new well was down about ffty-ave
feet aid it was proposed to tunnel into the
old we'll: The men were frightened out of the
new well just az they were about to reach the
oid one They were afraid of caving in. A
M man then s went down the old wsa in answer
that there were only three or four feet ofsand
and boards to go through, he dug away the
sand' and lifting board gave Anderson food
and water. The first he had had aince

Anderson tied it round himself, but it was

have been given him regularly and he IL
gradually growing stronger. The rescuers
worked as rapidly as circumstances would
permit in removing the dirt from above him.
Ah'S nad TO DC done with utmost caution "a

away of any part of the earth on which his
1rall platform rests is liable to precipitate

below. The old curbing is all that is cover
Ing him now. This has formed into the
roof of the box in which he is and to
get at him from the top hole must be cut
IN this roof. All efforts was made to saw
through the root, but it was abandoned as
the sand commenced to cave and Anderson's
platform sunk two inches The greatest
hope of his rescue now is on account of the
fact that tools have been passed in to him and
ne works as hard as his strength will permit in
bracing the platform. The danger of RorR-
ing himself after his long fast is now past
and he eats with relish and avidity all the
food that is passed in to him.
John Anderson, who has been imprisoned
in a we'll at Johnstown, Neb., was rescued
after ten days of unceasing labor BY neigh
bors. Anderson showed the effect OF his un-
fortunate accident. but did not look 90
emaclated as was expected. So intense
t has been the excitement and sympathy for
the unfortunate man that business of ali
kinds has been suspended for the past few
days, farmers and merchants alike going to
the scene and rendering their assistance. The
rescue was effected by lowering board 18
inches long and 1Ox12 inches square, into
which Anderson crawled and was raised bv
means of a rope. He is in care of physicians
who have hopes of his complete recovery.

Another Lynching in Nebraska.

Fremont Emmons, who deliberately
stabbed to death Miss Elizabeth Schultz at
Pawnee City, Nebraska, a few days ago, be-
cause she had refused his proposal Of mar
rage, was taken from the authorities at
Pawnee City and lynched by mob. EN-
mons was second cook at the Exchange no.
tel and Miss Schultz was laundress at the
same house. One evening Emmons met her
in neighboring yard, and stabbed her with
a shoemaker's knife near the heart, killing
her instantly. He was arrested and lodged
in Jail. Intense excitement and fear of lynch
ing prevailed. The officers accordingly spir-
tied him out of town and took him to the
penitentiary at Lincoln. Later he was re
turned to Pawnee City to be given prelmi
nary hearing. He waived examination and
was recommitted. Emmons pretended to
know nothing of the murder. He no doubt
9ad determined ID to fs;sn insanity:
the vicinity of Dubois, the home
of the murdered girl, entered Pawnee City
and surrounded the court house, in which
is located the Jail. They found the Jail open
and Emmons gone. A thorough search of
the court house was then made, resulting in
the discovery of Emmons under guard of the
overpowered and the prisoner taken from
them. He made no resistance. The mob
took Emmons to the railroad bridge
in the western part of the city, and
minister was called on to pray for him.
Emmons then made a few remarks. He
warned young men against the use of
whisky, declaring it the cause of his ruin.
He refused to say any thing Of the crime for
which he was soon to swing. He neither ad-
United nor denied it. At the conclusion of
his speech he prayed briefly for himself The
rope being tied around his neck and fastened
to tho bridge, he was commanded to jump.
At the second command Emmons made the
fatal leap. He fell nearly ten feet. His neck
was broken. He scarcely made struggle
The mob then quietly dispersed, leaving the
body hanging to the bridge, to be claimed by
his relatives. The citizens Of Pawnce had no
hand in the affair, although many of them
