found in the American bank. Posses
are out from Lexington, DIVER, Wa

another party set out from Corder to
search along the river hills for the
robser. He can not get across the
river, as his accomplice, Murrell, just
before he was lynched, told what was
the plan, for all the skiffs are under
guard. The man is presumably hid
ing in thick woods along the river.
II he is, his capture is certain.
His fate depends largely on who
are his csptors. If caught by Corder
people there will be strange fruit on

catch him he will be taken to the
Lexington jail. Corder being avoided

TAKEN BY AN ANGRY CROWD.
When the outlaw was brought back
the entire population was blocking
the streets. Many angry mutterings
we're heard and the officers were
forced to threaten the people with
their weapons. The prisoner was
locked in the little ramshackle Gala
bose and preparations were made to
take him to the Lexington Jail. A
surrey was secretly ordered from Viii.
sons livery stable near the dept.
About s o'clock Marshal Dean and
Deputy Sherifis jackson and George
Churchill started to walk their pris IN
er to the stable.
A yell was heard up the street and
the officers saw a mob which filled the
whole roadway. They hurriedly
placed the scared MurrelI in the sur
rev, but before it had even moved
inside the stable the crowd had ar
rived. The horses we're unhitched
ami the officers covered by half a
dozen shotguns.
Murreli was seized by about twelve
men, who seemed to be doing all the
work, and they started westward with
the robeer, the crowd following. Two
shots in The air scared of the stray
glers, and less than twenty men d s.
appeared up the railroad track and
clustered about Murrell.
Not one in Corder will admit iha,
he has the faintest idea as to who were
the lynchers. All say, however, the
best men in the town and surrounding
country did the work.
Of the escaped r,bber, who really
did the work there is no trace. He
left behind as clue only a broad
brimmed white hat with black cali
CO mask sewed into it. He wa
according to Cashier Groves. a short
heavy set man, very determined il
action, evidently experienced il
crime. Murreli before he died said
that every one in Corder knew
him.
This man is in hiding somewhere
in thick woods along the river an'
after him are posses from Lexington
Dover and Waverly. All the skiff
along the river are being watched AM
and the fugitive can not cross int
Carol as he had planned.

gress began to tinker with the iron

a fair amount of commissions annually
on the importation of chsins, anchors
and anvils of England. He was born
in Salall, England, sixty-cigh, years
ago, snd WIS employed at one time
by Charles VanderwooTt Il Co. and
Thomas Hill Il Co., Of this city. la
1856 Hildick enjoyed good credit and
was reported to be worth $4,000
For the past FIVE years his losses
have exceeded his profits. and when
asked by an acquaintance the other
day how business was he replied that
he had done none since the Mckinley
Tariff went into effect.
Hildlck formerly occupied commo
dious offices at No. II Warren street,
but reverses compelled him to take
smaller quarters at No. % Murray
street. 1t was there that Officer Con.
rad Hoffman found him yesterday
morning, stretched out in his office
chair stone dead. His clothing was
disarranged as if he had made strug-
gle for life, and along side of him wss

Hildick was also harassed by do
nestle troubles. He married a widow
twenty-five years ago who had two
children. She had very positive
ideas, and when the husband objected
to the way the country place at Clos
ter, N. J., was kept, he was told to
90 about his business. Hildick has
accordingly lived apart from his wife
for the past two years.
He took a room in the early part
of the year at boarding house kept
by his wife's sisters, the Misses I'm
derhill, at 43 Lafayette place. While
there. he turned on the gas with sui
cidal intent, but was discovered in
time TO save bis life. At the Bristol,
in Eleventh street, where he last
boarded, Hildick was very retired and
was not in debt.

WHITE CAP JUSTICE.
A Worthless Kansas Youth Re.

From His Neigh
bOrS.

Tnpeka, Kas., Sept. 1.-The quiet
village of Meriden, twelve miles north
of Topeka, is considerably excited
over a White Cap affair which &C.
Cured about half mile from town
Saturday night. Will Grondyke, 8
boz of Il, was pulled out of bel
about midnight by a crowd of masked
men and taken to fence near by,
where he was strapped to post and
treated to a severe horsewhipping.
As soon as they had finished their
work the midnight visitors turned him
loose, and after threatening that they
would visit him again, rode quietly
away. The boy is son of a hard
working farmer, and is said to be
thoroughly worthless. He has ruled
the family for months, and few days
ago when his father attempted to cor.
rect him. he jumped on the old gen
tleman and choked him. His sister
interfered in defence of her father
and the unnatural young brute kick
ed and cuffed her SO severely that she
is in bed in consequence. The neigh
bors are pretty well satisfied that the
boy received his just deserts. and nc
efforts will be made to fad the White
Caps.

1T may not be generally known but
it is nevertheless q fact, that some of
the greatest and best preachers in
the world do not use slang or abu-
sive language, or pass around the
hat for a living, says the Atlanta
Constitution. They suffer many hard
ships, and as rule remain poor all
their lives, but they never resort to
sensational methods in order to
draw crowds and fill their pockets.
Many of them in their old age feel all
the evils of poverty and die neglect
ed and in want, but their work lives af-
ter them, and they go out ofthe world
happy in the consciousness of having
fought the good fight. The evange-
lists who go up and down the land
startling people with their extrava-
giant and unique manners and say
ings no doubt do some good in their
way, with certain classes, but it
would be very unsafe for the preachers
of the day to initiate them. Among
soberminded people there is a grow
ing conviction that the old way of
preaching the gospel is the right
way, and their opinion is more likely
to be right than wrong.

The expectation OF gold from this
country to Europe has been watched
by the barons of Wall street with
much anxiety, and they are looking
to the farmers here in the West for
relief. When the sturdy yeomen of
this section have laid by their sickles,
and the singing of the thresher is
heard in the land, then will the gold
EN- grain begin its journey across the
waters of the great deep, and then
will the coin return to the mint that
made it. Then will commerce wend
it's way through the obstacles that
have been thrown in it's path and
move majestically onward. The
traders of the east, like those small
birds that attach themselves to the
migratory stork, will be carried to
the haven of safety. Then will come
the food tide, carrying bread to the
eater and seed to the sower down
| over this broad country of ours, ir-
| rigating the waste places.

We clip the following pertinent
item from the Brookfield Gazette:
There has been a great deal of talk
among the wise and virtuous states
men and journalists of the third par
ty in regard to slavery to the old
parties,' and many have been the
exhortations on the part of those
free, enfranchised and enlightened
people to Others whom they deem less
enlightened to shake off the shackles
of slavey and take part as free men
with the Peoples party, all of which
is more noticeable from the fact that
those same eXhorters seem to take it
for granted that they are going to
carry the entire membership of the
Farmers alliance into the Peoples
party; that all these self-constituted
! leaders have to do is to issue the or.
der and the unions and alliances, bag
and baggage, will be carried into the
Peoples party.

IT may not be generally known,
but it is nevertheless true that the
cultivation of farms in the Missouri
valley is more profitable than any
where else on earth, except in limited
areas of market gardening near
large cities. If farming were on
equitable footing in respect to tax
and trade laws the wealth of this sec.
ton world be the envy of the world
But for this reason thousand offarms
in the larger states are only half cul
tivated; The rates of profit have
been too small to excite the intense
energies and the greater outlay o
capital which are needed to make tn,
highest yields.

A TERRIBLE land slide occurred
near the Northen Pacific cannery, on
Skuna river, in British America.
Back of the cannery is high noun
tain. Gin Thursday of last week peo-
pie at work in the cannery and liv-
ing near it, heard terrific roaring
sound, followed a moment later by
an avalanche of earth, rocks and
trees. Nine houses with their occu-
pants and the mess house of the can
merry were destroyed. The slide miss.
ed the cannery proper by about two
feet. Had it occurred a half hour
earlier the deaths would have reach
into the hundreds. The wife of the
foreman was killed and Indians
claim that about forty Indians of
the Sitka, Kitamat and Port Simp-
don tribes were among those lost.
