BALD KNoBBERs EXPECTED.

OZARK, Mo-, April 9.-If the expected
happens In fancy county the Bald
Knobbers will reorganize, come over
the hills and adjourn the investigation
now going on at Forsythe into
the lynchning of murderer
Bright and the killing of
Deputy Sheriff Williams few weeks
ago. That a mob will appear and take
the men who are now under suspicion
out of the jurisdiction of the court is al
most certain if they are held for the
crime of killing Williams. The inves-

dence against Lawyer Taylor is pretty
strong and the indication to-day is that
he will be held for trial

Where We're the Certificates Sounde
The defect in the nomination certificates

that it does not show when the convention

pose it was held, the character Of its com.
position, for what offices the nominees were
candidates, that it was for the counties of
Carbon and Nat~ona, that it was for or on
behalf OF the Democratic party or any other
party, that its members were electors of
any precinct in any county or state. For
all that the certificate shows, this conven-
ton might have been composed of miners
and might have been held in any state in
the union. The law prescribes a form that
was not considered in any particular. Mr..
Campbell, while smarting under the effects
of the decision, said to the court that the
case would be carried to the United States
