DO you say the world is selfish enough
already, and needs no such advice as
this? Granted; still if people are selfish,
why not tell them how to be so to some

avoiding annoyances, and in fact do
not know how to be good to themselves.

1T WAS MURDER.
The Public Indignant Over the Crue
Lynching of Hans Olsen.

Lynching of Hans Olsen.
AS the details Of the recent lynching
Of Hans Jacob Olsen in the town Of Pres
ton are disclosed they become revolving,
all the more so, too, from the fact that
there was no other cause for his
lynching than that he had ill-treated
his family and was considered general
nuisance in the neighborhood The
people of Grant County have become
thoroughly aroused over the MUIR
der, which is undoubtedly one of the
most cruel, cold-blooded and inexcusa-
BILE ever committed in Wisconsin, and
the public sentiment demands that
all who were implicated should be pros
ecuted. Young Bersing, who gave
himself up, has furnished the county
authorities with the names of all pres
emit and what was said and done. His
most startling disclosure is that Olsen's
own son, young man of II years, as
sisted the vigilantes, even pulling on
the rope which sent his father
into eternity. After the rope
was first placed around Olsen's
neck he was told that his life
would be spared il he would leave the
county. Probably thinking that his
captors were only trying to frighten
him, Olsen was obstinate and his only
reply was volley of oaths. A prom
inent farmer is said to have been the
organizer and leader Of the mob, which
numbered about 100 in all.
