4 LYNCHING PARTY
They Shoot an Officer Who
Would Defend His Prisoner.
1T CAUSES GREAT EXCITEMENT
ington Guilty Of Murder-A Discharged
Messenger Attacks the superintendent

KANSAS CRY, March 14.-Additional de-
tails of the lynching near Ozark, Mo-, of
John Bright, the wife murderer, received
to-day, show the affair was unusually SEN
satioual. Also that another death resulted
besides Bright's. The man had been cap
tured and was being given preliminary
trial. A mob of hundred men quietly
gathered around the court house and sent
in twenty-five of their number to request
that the prisoner be turned over to them.
The presiding judge pleaded that the law
be allowed to take its course, and Deputy
Sheriff Williams, who was in charge of the
man, suggested it would be best to listen to
the arguments Of the Judge, as he (Wil.
llams) intended to defend the prisoner with
his life. AT the same time he drew brace
OF revolvers. The spectators in the court
room, of whom theae were number, i'm
medlately began to beat hasty retreat. A
delegation from the mob started toward the
prisoner and Williams raised his revolver,
but before he could shoot he was himself
| shot through the heart by one of the mob,
| dying instantly. The mob then took the
prisoner across the street, and without
giving him an opportunity to say word
hanged him in full view of the court, where
he had been promised by the law a fair and
| impartial trial.
The county where the lynching occurred
is wild with excitement. Young Williams,
the deputy shot by the mob, was very pop
ular and nine of the moo which did the
work were identified. This morning large
posse, under the guidance of the sheriff,
started to arrest these men. Sheriff Cook
is brave and will search until he finds the
hen who killed his deputy. He will be
assisted by many people who, while glad
Bright has been punished for his crime,
are wild over the killing of Williams.
When the posse meet members of the mob
it is feared there will be war

Open Letter From T. F. Bavsrd.

WILMINGTON, Del, March 14.-Ex-Sec-
rotary Bayard has addressed an open letter
to the Democrats, in which he takes an
anti-free coinage Of silver stand. In his
letter he 'deplores the false position of the
government in 1878 in entering the
market as purchaser of silver bullion and
forcing its coinage into moaey.n He is
thankful such grave error cannot be laid
at the door of the Democratic party.
He expresses belief the Democrats in talk
ing free silver are clothing the patty with
diseased and fatal garments and impeding
its march to power and usefulness by u bali
and chain of suicidal error.

DIR. scudder Arraigned.

CHICAGO, March IA The preliminary
arraignment of DR.. Scudder, on the charge
of murder, took place this afternoon. The
prisoner remained in a seeming stupor
throughout the proceedings, except when a
portion of the skull of the murdered
woman was produced in evidence. Two
witnesses were examined-F. b. Dunton
and DR.. Palmer. The only fact not here
tofore brought out was that the sleeves of
Mr.. Dunton's night shirt were spotted
with blood after the discovery that his
wife he'd been injured. DR.. Palmer testi :
fed Mrs. Dunton's death, beyond all doubt
was from being pounded on the head. The
examination will be resumed Tomorrow

Alger P0blisbes His War Record.

Anger uDiiSOeS h.S w dr heCOru.
DETROIT. March 14.-General Alger this
morning made public his war record. 1t
includes great host of official documents
from army officers warmly praising Alger
and recommending him for promotion, an6
along with them is the report of General
Custer, recommending the dismissal OF
Alger from the service. The entire record
is full of credit to Alger with the single
exception of the Custer document and the
Endorsements thereto. In contradiction to
the statement of Custer, Alger's record
shows that after the battle of Bonneville
he laid off on account of illness, as he also
did May %, 1864. In each case, however,
he had the certificate of his official surgeon
to show that he was i'll. 1t is true that in
his last absence on sick leave Custer did
not respond to the Doctors application for
sick leave for Alger, but Alger has shown
Clusters motive by revealing the latter's
attempt to induce Alger to promote Gus
ter's brother over the heads Of older
officers. That Custer did not always re-
gard Alger as funk is shown by various
recommendations in earlier portions of the
war, wherein he praises Alger highly.

an Associated Press representative con-
corning the Hetherington tragedy, but re-
fused to express an opinion as to the just
ness of Hetherington's act. The admiral
intimated that public opinion in Yokohama
was not all against Hetherington. When
asked for copy of the letter written him
by Robinson just before the latter's death,
the admiral said the original was in the
hands of Hetherington's counsel and copy
had been forwarded to the department at
Washington. The letter neither denied nor
affirmed the charges made by Hethering-
ton, but merely expressed forgiveness for
the lieutenants foolish act" The ad-
miral closed the interview by remarking

Verdict in the Cover Robinson Murder Case

YOKOHAMA, March 14.-The inquest on the
remains of George Cover Robinson, killed
February ID, by Lieutenat j. H Heather
ington, United States ship Marion, resulted
in a verdict of wilful murder.
Before his death Robinson caused a let
ter to be written to Admiral Belknap. He
expressed pardon for Hetherington's act
and requested the utmost possible leniency
be shown in dealing with the case. Rob-
inson's funeral, February %, was attended
by majority of the leading residents, the
foreign diplomatic corps being well repre-
sented.
Hetherington is understood to have been
removed from the Marion to the United
States consulate. The coroner's jury which
heard the evidence was composed of three
foreign residents named A. Leprovost,
George Allcock and T. H. Box. The for
mer in communication to the Japan Mat,
said he did not personally accept all the
conclusions reached in the 5erdict. owing
to the fact that the eyioence as to Hether-
ington's identity was of fiimsy and irreg-
ular nature, but he signed the paper, being
aware any verdict could accomplish moth
ing in a legal sense.

Governor Burke has appointed a

as managing director. Mr.. Dlckey
is a typical rustler, and displayed
excellent generalship in the late
Burke convention, that we have not
the slightest doubt but what North
Dakota will be heard from at the
Worlds Fair. Certain it is that the
time is getting short and if we are to
be represented at all it is about time
to commence operations. The
late board are to be congratulated
for handing in their designations, and
If the new board does no better than
they did, the same will be required

for better things, and expect that the

pro6tably.

Major Shaw, of the Fargo Argus,
falls all over himself in trying to
make out that the COURIER is "cry-
ing fraud and yelling loudly for the
independents" The COURIER did
not cry fraud, but simply stated that
the Allin delegates from Walsh coun-
ty did not get fair show and that is
our opinion still. In regard to
cycling loudly" for the indepen-
dents, we merely gave plain un-
biased opinion of the ticket and its
strength in Griggs county. Does 4
plain statement of the political out
look by the COURIER make it inde-
pendent? Or is every republican
paper in the state supposed to lie
like sin and say that the ticket nomi-
mated at Fargo is the strongest that
could be selected? We cannot see
through smoked glasses if Major
Shaw does.

Those farmers who are holding
their last years NO grade wheat with
atne expectation Of getting a fancy
price for it, might just as well ship
it and get what they can out of it,
than to purchase more lumber and
build granary for this years crop.
That is penny wise and pound
foolish idea. Some farmers are no
doubt saving their poor grain and
intend to mix it with the new crop
with the hopes of bettering the
grade. This is a foolish notion. A
bushel of poor grain mixed in
with a load Of good wheat just
knocks that one or two grades and
the farmer is thereby a loser. 1t is
far better to dispose of your poor
wheat and make room for this years
crop than it is to go to the expense
of building additional granaries
while you hold on to the poor
wheat.
