WORK OF A MOB.

Sieboldt Lynched at Darlington-Jail
Door battered Down.
DARLINGTON, Wis, Sept. 21.-At noon
to-day Anton Sieboldt, the murderer
of James Meigan, was taken from Jail
lat this place by mob and hanged.
Since the day the crime was COM
mitted there have been threats of mob
law, but the authorities probably really
apprehended no attack on the Jail. This
morning, however, people began
to arrive Ill the city by two and threes
and half-dozens, until crowd of fully
200 excited persons were in the village.
As the hour of II approached the
county jail was surrounded by the mob.
It was then evident to the jail officials
that the mob was in earnest. Cries of
''give us the keys" "bring out the pris-
oner," "open the door, Chatter down
the DOORS" etc., were raised on every
hand
= The prisoner, who was confined in
one of the strongest iron-bound cells in
the jail, heard the cries and shouts of
the mob and trembled and moaned
and shrieked alternately.
The demands for the keys were ig-
nored by the sheriff and his deputies.
The doors were locked and protected
by heavy bars.
When the mob saw that the doors of
the jail would not be thrown open they
procured axes and sledges and attacked
the panels of oak and maple.
The doors cracked and bent under
the shower of blows, but held firm for
moment. Then the blows fell thicker
and faster. A cracking and splintering
was followed by a crash, and the mob
was in the jail
Other barriers gave way one after an
other. The sheriff and the jailor at
tempted to protect the prisoner, but
were oyerpowered IN an instant and dis
armed. Straight toward the cell where
the doomed man was covering rushed
the men who had determined to avenge
Meighan's murder. The iron bars gave
wav like pipe stems.
4 rope was in hand and moose was
put around the mans neck.
Out Of the Jail hurried the shouting
throng, hustling the prisoner through
the corridor and out into the court
house square.
There was halt but for an instant;
then the rope was over the limb and
half hundred willing hands were jerk
ing the struggling form Of the murderer
upward.
Hardly had the body Of the man been
strung up when @ silence fell over
the crowd that had assembled It
seemed as if until that moment the
mob did not realize VIVA: it was doing;
but when the mans life had gone out
there came the knowledge of their aw-
full deed.
The lynchers quickly dispersed. But
IN their places came hundreds to see
the body of the murderer and inspect
the jail and the scene Of the hanging.

Man Of Long Experience in the OIL Fields
Of pennsylyania Secure tho
Contract.

The executive committee of the Helena
Arteaian Well company will visit the land
in the valley to-day on which the company
has an option and select tho place OF sink
ing the long bore OF 1900 feet. Copeland
Bros. were awarded tho contract yesterday
when the bids were opened, their figures
being $4,000. There were five other bids,
but were all higher than the one which Sc
cured the contract. The we'll is to be OF six
inch bore, and will be sun in the railroad
land in the valley north OF Helena. There
are about 1000 acres in the tract, which
will become the property of the Artesian
Well company whom the bore reaches the
1000 mark, whether water is foundo or not.
This enterprise means a good deal. and
will be watched with interest, not only In
Helena, but throughout the state and at
various other points in the northwest. A
we'll in the immediate vicinity Of the land
offered by the railroad company was sunk
by the Copeland Bros. on the ranch OF T..
Benedict to a depth of 521 feet. II is not q
flowing we'll, but has yielded an ample sup
ply of water for irrigation. This is the
deepest we'll in the valley. The 2.OOO-foot
bore will Thoroughly develop the possibilities
contained in the strata underlying the val
ley. If there is oil there instead Of water
| it will set the drills in motion all over the
| state. Should a good flowing we'll Of
water be struck it will lead tt
a similar result. The Copeland
Bros. gained their experience in well
boring in the oil regions Of Pennsylvania
and have sunk twenty-five wells in Mon
tana, none of them, however, being as deel
as the Prickly Pear bore will be. Under
contract with the late DR.. b.. @. Brook
they started to sink $500 feet on the mort
side of Mount Helena. At 1000 feet tn
work was stopped on account of the dealt
of DR.. Brooke and complications over tn
title to the land on which the we'll is loca
ted. When the drill ceased there were 95
feet of water in the hole. Copeland Bros
will remove the machinery from the Brook
we'll down to the point selected in the val
ley. As soon as it can be placed in positlo
the boring will begin. There is considers
BILE work to be done in this connectio
which will most likely delay the sinkin
until Oct. i. Houses are to be erected fo
the accommodation of the workmen, fo
supplies and for sheltering the plant, g
work will be prosecuted during the winte
months. Water to feed the boiler will /
brought by means of pipes from some liv
ing springs about a half mile distant.
The fun for prosecuting this enterprif
now amounts to $1O,350. It is desired b
the promoters that $12, 600 be raised as
will take this much to complete the wor]
