was declared the unanimous choice, and
was escorted to the platform amid vocit-

ance, and besides being proprietor aud
editor Of The News, published at Mans

night at the hands of a crowd of 500 tax
papers The excitement all arose over
proposition of the city council to purchase
the plant of the Consolidated Electric

the proposition, it being believed by many

when a mass meeting Of the taxpayers
was held TO protest against the pro
nosed purchase The meeting was in
charge of Hon. John 3. Scroggs, the head
of the Kansas City, Kan, bar Several
incorporate speeches were made, and
finally Scroggs addressed the crowd from
the court house steps, and denounced in
bitter language the proposed action OF
the council.
Finally committee OF fifteen was ap-
pointed to call at the council chamber and
present the protest before the ordinance
could be passed. The crowd by its own
motion joined the committee and the
march to the city hall was taken up. As
the march proceeded the excitement grew
until the mutterings Of the crowd became
more loud and bitter, and finally culmi-
mated in shouts 6f Lynch them" and
Hang themw The crowd had worked
itself up TO a high pich of indignation
when the city hall was reached.
In the meantime the council had been
informed of the progress of the mob, and
a hasty adjournment was taken The last
alderman had barely beat a rapid retreat
when the advance guard of the mob
rushed into the chamber-to be disap-
pointed at finding it empty The crowd

and more speeches were made, the mayor

without doing any damage.
