Imprisoned in I Deep Well.

about seventy feet. deep. The curbing gave

known that he was buried his neighbors went
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
TO them and ask them to let in some light.
Inc curblng had SO fallen as to let in air
and protect him from the weight of the
a1rt. Inc new well was down about fifty-five
1eet and 1T was proposed to tunnel into the
Old well. The men were frightened out of the
new we'll just as they were about to reach the
eold one They We're afraid of caving in. A
man then went down the old well in answer
20 an appeal from Anderson, and finding
that there were only three or four feet OF sand
sand boards to go through, he dug away the
sand, and lifting board gave Anderson food

Thursday Arope was then let down and
anderson tied it round himself, but it was
unsuccessful. later dispatch says: John
Anderson has passed the ninth day in the
well at Johnstown, Neb. Food and water
nave been given him regularly and he is
gradually growing stronger. The rescuers
worked as rapidly as circumstances would
permit IN removing the dirt from above him.
This had to be done with utmost caution as
the dlsplacing of one board or the giving
away of any part of the earth on which his
1raE platform rests is liable to precipitate
Anderson to the bottom of the well 100 feet
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 aU him from the top hole must be cut
IN this roof. All efforts was made to saw
through the roof, but it was abandoned as
the sand commenced to cave and Anderson's
platform sunk two inches The greatest
nope OF bis 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 permitin
braclng the platform. The danger of gorg-
ing himself after his long fast is now past
and he eats with relish and ayidity all the
food that is passed in to him.

IN we'll at JOhnstown, Neb., was rescued
after ten days of unceasing labor by neigh
DORIS Anderson showed the effect of his I'M
fortunate accident, but did not look so
emaclated as was expected. So intense
has been the excitement and sympathy for
the unfortunate man that business of all
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 10
inches long and 10x12 inches square, into
which Anderson crawled and was raised by
means of rope. He is in care of physicians,
who have hopes of his complete recovery

Some one interested in stirring up
English alarms has discovered in the
memories of Marshal Ney a record OF
the fact that in 1906, when Napoleon,
designing the invasion of England,
gathered an army at Boulogne, it
was daily exercised in the operation
of embarking and disembarking, and
that it was found that in ten and a
half minutes $4,000 men, with all
their stores, ammunition, artillery
and horses, were embarked, and in
thirteen minutes were landed again.

suicide by jumping from the steeple

his hat, called on those below to get

himself on his hands with his feet

and yet he moved some little time
after the fall.

Wholesale Horse Stealing.

The police of Chicago have succeeded in
capturing sixteen-year-old robber, whose
achievements in the horse stealing line are
unparalleled in this part of the country. His
name he gives as Edward Brown, and he claims
to have come from Texas about June 6.
Brown came in with q carload of Texas
ponies and when his friends had sold their
stock and returned home he formed the ac-
quaintance of Charles Crane, also hailing from
Texas. Brown soon proposed that they go into
the demonstrating business on large SCALE be-
ing convinced that it would be very profitable.
A business partnership was formed between
the two Texans, and a barn rented on the
west side OF Chicago that would hold about
twenty horses Nightly forays were begun,
and were successful. The boys hired five men
as grooms, bought hay by the ton. oats by
the car load. In less than twenty four hours
after they started in business, they had stol-
en- five horses and sold three of them for
liberal price. The boldness of their plans
was remarkable, They would hitch two
stolen horses to a stolen carriage and drive
along Michigan avenue until they saw a.
team which suited them. To see good
horse meant ownership for them, for they
would follow it home and in all probability
secure it that night. Every few days the
two Texans would go out into suburbs to
look for good horses, and citizens began to
frequent the stables for the purpose of buy
ing stock. All the time complaints were COM
ing in to the police thick and fast, but
they could not find the thieves. July IL, how
ever, was a fatal day for the adj
yenturers. They stole a horse and
buggy from a North side citizen, and drove
to blacksmith shop near by to have some
slightrepairs made. While waiting one of them
stole the blacksmith's watch and was soon
accused of the theft Both drew revolvers
and compelled the blacksmith to apologize
for the charge. AS soon as the boys had left
the smith complained at the Lakeview
police station; giving, good de-
scription ofthe bandits. "A detective was de-
tailed on the case. He was about to give up
the search when suddenly he saw the boys
driving west on Washington boulevard. He
secured horse, followed them to their barn
and Swallowed the place for three or four
days, as he could not believe that they alone
could have been guilty of such gigantic
scheme ofhorse stealing as was before his eyes,
Crane became suspicious of the espionage
and fled, but Brown was arrested. On his
person was found $500 in cash. Twenty
five horses and eighteen stolen vehicles have
already been turned up, and more are coming
in every day. The horses are uniformly
fine, and the vehicles range from dog cart
to a four-in-hand. Brown confessed every
thing.

Another Lynchine 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
riage, was taken from the authorities at
Pawnee City and lynched by mob. En-
mons was second cook at the Exchange ho-
tel and Miss Schultz was laundress at the
same house. One evening Emmons met her
in a neighboring yard, and stabbed her with
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 prelimi-
was recommitted. Emmons pretended to
know nothing of the murder. He no doubt
had determined to feign insanity.
Next morning at 2 O'Clock mob from
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
officials in the third story. The guards were
oyerpowered 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 a
minister was called on to pray for him.
Emmons then made few. remarks. He
warned young men against the use of
whisky, declaring it the cause of his ruin.
he refused to say anything Of the crime for
which he was soon to swing. He neither adj
mitted nor denied it. At the conclusion of
his speech he prayed briefly for himself. The
rope being tied around his neck and fastened
to the bridge, he was commanded to jump.
At the second command Emmons made the
fatal leap. BE fell nearly ten feet. His neck
was, broken. He scarcely made a struggle.
The mob then quietly dispersed, leaving the
body hanging to the bridge, to be claimed by
hand in the affair, although many of them
were silent witnesses at a distance.
