Frank ?. Phillips Interviewed f,y Sioux city
Journal Reporter on State Politics.
Speaking Of some Of the probable. can,li-
dates for governor among the republicans, Mr..
Phillips said: "Kittredge, OF Sioux Falls is
popular with the politicians and a strong man.
He has been frequently spoken Of as candi-
date, but he is prominent anti-prohibiton-
lst and that would undoubtedly work 10 his
dis,,isantage. Another man who is spoken
OF about as much as anyone probably is Capt.
Geo A. Silsby, of Mitchell He is a very
popular man with the soldier element and
would be strong with all classes. 1t might
be hard to find a better candidate Then Of
course the Black Hills are asking recognition
as usual But just as usual too they are di-
Vlded against each other. Fowler, of Pen
mngton county, and Washbaugll Of Law
renee are both talked Of as candidates. IF
the people of the Hills could get together
they could get the nomination. And in this
campaign they are sure to get something.
They will certainly have recognition of some
sort There appears to be quite little talk
going the rounds Of the state in favor Of drop
ping one of the congressman in the Hills.

For the ettlement OF this Inomenteo is
question was the conference called at
Cincinnati last. year. The Cincinnati
conference was one Of the largest and
most harmonious gatherings ever held
in the Uuited States. In this gathering
many ofsthe conservative ones asked
that decided action be postponed. Some
sections and some labor Organizations
were not represented. The south was
not as fully represented as it should4e.
Many southern members still believed
that the democratic party would grant
the reforms demanded and would defer
action until after the next session 81

by Chief Of Police Nelson to bring the
prisoner to this city on the first train.
The train reached the yard about 9:s5 o..
m. and was met by q mob Of between
three and five hundred people.
Assoen as the prisoner was identified
there was a cry of ITO the court house,
The officers in charge of the prisoner
made show of resistance, and demand
ed that they be allowed to lodge their
man in the city jail. Their efforts.
however, We're unavailing, and the ex-i
cited crowd, which had now increased
10 one thousand or more persons, soon
had the murderer in theI possession.
+ A rope was speedily put over the cross
pm OF telegraph pole, Immediately in
front OF the court house, and Kelley was
soon hanging forty feet in the air, with
his body uddled with bullets. The exc
cntion place in full glare of several
electric s, and was witnessed by
about 10, ,0ou people, many of them being
ladies, hemmed in the crowd on their way
from church. -
AS the body of the lifeless Kelley
swung from side to side the air re-
sounded with cries of Lynch Culbert
Harris, his accomplice.' . A rush was
made for the jail in the rear of the court
house and men with axes commenced
breis.dng in the windows. They soon
effected an entrance and the guilty Har-
rls was quickly pointed out by the other
prisoners.
He urged to be heard for few mo-
ments and the crowd listened, but his
words were not satisfactory.
Hang him! hang hi1n!" was the cry.
and he was quickly taken to the front Of
the court house and another rope was
secured. As the clock on the court
house tolled the quarter to II hour, the
body was jerked into the air. Simulta- 4
neously there was report of 100 shots
and the body was a corpse. Both men
were hanged from the same telegraph
pole and their bodies are now dangling
in the air few feet apart.
