FAIRHAvEN, Wash., March 12.-The
jury this afternoon returned verdict of
acquittal in the case of George Swiloes,
the Lummy Indian on trial for the MUIR
der of Moses Younkin last January.
The case was on trial nine days, and is
probably the most exciting one ever
tried In Whatcom county. After the
verdict was rendered excitement ran
high and threats of lynching
were heard on every hand.
The Indian was quickly taken
to the beach, placed in
a canoe and started for the reservation
under escort Of Indians. Within
twenty minutes after the verdict was
known, a crowd of 1000 people gathered
on the street and Mayor Miller of New
Whatcom addressed them, denouncing
the verdict. An effort was made by the
crowd to get tug to follow and lynch
the Indian, but none could be obtained.
Five armed men started out on horse
back at o'clock to take the Indian on
his arrival. at the reservation. The
states principal witness was Williams,
Skagit Indian boy, an accomplice, who
testified that Swiloes killed Younkin
with club. More than twenty Lummy
Indians testified for the defense and an
alibi was proven.

ASSAULTED.

Tramp Arrested for the Crime and
Lynched-He Confessed His Guilt The
Sedalia Ravisher Caught in Texas.

CARRoLToN, Mo-, March 12.-Late
yesterday afternoon an unknown
tramp forced an entrance into the home

ly to the jail where he confessed his
crime, but declined to give his name.

move, had strong guard, and the mob
becoming discouraged, dispersed.
Later the sheriff concluded to outwit
the mob-another one being in progress

er out of town. The sheriff's plan was
to disguise the prisoner, take him out oi
jail and to some neighboring town. Two
deputies left the Jail with the prisoner,
but while crossing the Santa Fe tracks
an ambushed mob surrounded them. Re-
sistance being useless, the deputies sur
rendered Dthe prisoner, who, after the
rope was around his neck, being asked
if he had anything to say, replied :
"Nothing, except m guilty"
In the next minute the tramp wae
dangling at the end OF the rope, dead.
It is learned that before leaving the
Jail the prisoner confessed to the sheriff
that his name was Lewis Gordon, his
age %, and that he had relatives living
at Independence, Mo.

ments were entered. The citizens ex-
pressed great indignation at this action

The Governor-eleot of Wyoming Forcibly
Takes Possession OF the Omce.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 4-Gov.-elect
Osborne, accompanied by several men,
went to the capitol building and asked
the janftor to show him into the execu-
tive rooms on the plea that he wanted
to see the condition of the furniture.
The janitor refused to let him in
without the authority of the acting
governor. Osborne sent for carpen-
ter and ordered him to open window
leading to the executive chamber. BY
the use of a large chisel the window
casing was removed, the sash thrown
up and the party took possession. Os-
borne announced himself as governor,
saying that he had taken the oath of
Office before notary public.
The present complications arose from
the fact that the constitution of Wy
oming provides for lieutenant gov
ernor and since Gov. Warren became
senator Secretary of State Barber has
been acting as governor. There was
doubt when and how the newly elected
governor should assume the Office, SO
he takes this means of bringing mat
ters to q focus
