upon him, threw bianhet~ over his

evidently looking for Frank Dice, whi6
had been in Jail for several days await
ing trial on q charge of murdering, a.
man named CLANCY. Not word was
spoksa BY any of the men till Dice's
cell was reached. The prisoner had
been aroused by TIE heavy tread of
the mob and wasS crouchedE in one
corner of the cell. AS the door swung
open He uttered low groan, as if con-
scious of what was coming. aud q
moment later he was brought into
the corridor in front of his cell.
The gagged sheriff tried to ex-
postulate with the mob, but q hand
was placed threateningly- over his
mouth, and the cold muzzle of a revolt
yer was pressed against his temple,
while a wyOtce ailmonished him to be
quiet if he valued his life. Dice was
then told that his hour had come, and
he was asked if he had anything to say.
He was so tcrror-stricl<en that coherent
speech was out of the question, but he
managed to humble a few sentences
that the sheriff could not understand,
While still trying to talk a member of the
mob threw small cord around his neck
and he was drawn up to one Of the cross
tarried few moments till salts
fed that life was extinct, and
then quietly left the Jail and passed
out of town. The whole af-
fair was managed SO cleverly that the
nearest residents, to the Jail did,
not know that anything unusual was
going on. The mob, was under the
command of tall, well-built man,
who uttered his commands in
whisper, and every act in the
terrible tragedy was performed with
che regularity of clockwork.. Even the
prisoners in the remote cells were not
awakened, SO quietly was the hanging
conducted.
Details of the killing of Clancy by
Dice show that they were rivals in their
attentions to young lady at Jordan's
village, and of the two CLANCY seemed
to be the favorite CLANCY and Dice met
at a public sale and with difficulty were
prevented from coming to blows. The
following week Dice went to the
home of Chaney's father and asked if
anyone had bottle of whisky. There
upon young Chany walked to his coat,
which was hanging on the wall When
his back was turned, however, Dice
drew his revolver and shot him, kill
ing him instantly. :.

LATER
Captured tho Militia.


KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July: 2o.-The
crisis came at Bricevi1le to-day about
IL o'clock, when the miners and a
crowd of sympathizers from the sur
rounding country gathered around the
camp OF the state militia and captured
the troops and convicts, marched them
of to the depot and put them on a
train and shipped them to Knoxville.
The camp was on little knoll in a
hollow and surrounded on all sides bv
mountains. The miners and their
friends to the number of twelve or fif-
teen hundred were divided into four
equal squads and approached on the
four sides of the square which the camp
was formed in. The miners sent up a
flag of truce and sent in committee to
the officer in command The commit
tee notified the officers that they had
come to take the convicts peaceabiy if
possibility force if necessary. The
officers parleyed a while and then
agreed to surrender. -
The troops were allowed to keep
| their arms and ammunition and thew.
with the convicts, were marched to the
train. They were loaded in box cars
or whatever could be had, and the en-
tire lot sent to this city. They arrived
| here about 4:30 o'clock. The troops, to
the number of 107 all told, went to the
armory of the Knoxville Rifles, where
they now remain awaiting the orders
| of the governor. The miners made
them promise not Il" return to Coal
Creek. The convicts were taken to the
jail, locked up and fed. The trouble
grows out of the employment of con-
victs on the contract system. ;,l~,:

Two Young Women Agree to Write Ench
Others History.
It's a novel idea, that of two young
women living far south of Buffalo
They were little girls together and
have continued as chums up to the
present time. They are now we'll along
in their teens. One dny when trey
were playing with dolls novel idea
was proposed. 1t was that at the end
of each year each would write u history
of the others life during the twelve
months just passed. Details about the
joys, sorrows and incidents OF daily life
were to be chronicled and each was
given permission to point out the faults
and failings of the other.
The scheme, says the Toledo Blade,
has worked to charm as far as can be
learned-for the biographies arc kept
secret-and young women have seen
themselves as others sec them. One of
them told friend q short time ago that
she had found two faults with her friend
last year and an equal number had been
found with her. She said that the word
love had never been written by either
in her chronicle. This year, however.
will likely contain something referring
III the divine passion. 1t is said too
thnt toe kodak has been brought ipto
,'cq'1i3ition this year for the purpose of
illustration, when the party illustrated
leust expected it.
