PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-THE report from
Chicago that syndicate in that city pro-
poses to purchase Independence Hall, the
birthplace of liberty, from Philadelphia,
and remove the building to be regretted

fact The Ledger, of this city, says that

BALTIMORE, Jan. 4 An att empt to
lynch Calvin Swipes, a member of the no.

Courthouse, Mitchell county, N. c., TWEEN
ty miles from here, has resulted in the
killing of three men, and more bloodshed,
it is expected, viii follow. Swipes has
been affiliated with the Hatfields, of JAM
boree, Pike county, Ky, and is charged
With dozen murders His latest crime
was the murder of Tax Collector Aaron
Wiseman, whom he ambushed in the
mountains of southwestern Mitchell coun-
ty and shot down for the $500 he had col
lected. The murder was committed just
before Christmas, and Swipes was caught
by seif-constituted posse of farmers after
desperate fight, in which he fatally
wounded Abram Whitefeld, Of Day Brook,
Yancey county.
Prepared 80 DO His Duty.
Subsequently he was taken to the Jail at
Bakersville, and ever since he was incar
cerated, Dec. %, attempts have been mad
to lynch him. Sheriff Bill Moomaw has
had experience with mobs before, as he has,
besides Swipes, the Whitson brothers, who
are under sentence to be hanged Jan. Il,

wife, whom they killed for 81, the pro-

men moved on the Jail. They were deter
mined to lynch the two Whitsons and
Swipes but Sheriff Moomaw was ready for
them.
Three Killed and Six Wounded.
He had sworn in twenty deputies.
When the demand was made for the pris
oners he told the mob they could not have
them. An attempt was made to carry the
Jail by assault, but the lynchers were met
with bullets and forced to retreat, leaving
three dead before the Jail porch. The
killed were John Russell, Peter Bradley
and John Yancy. Half dozen others
were badly wounded. This fight incensed
the population of Mitchell, Mcdowell and
Yancey counties, and all yesterday deter
mined men were arriving in Bakersville
At least 400 were assembled at 4 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon.

BOUNDARY OF A STATE.
Where 1t Is River the Line Runs in
DTid-Channel.


DTid-Channel.
WASHINGTON, Jan. AIN a case arising
between Illinois and Iowa regarding the
bound dairy line between the two states, the
Missississippi river, the supreme court
yesterday decided that the line was the
middle of the channel not the middle of
the river. Involved in the matter and
bringing it to an issue in the courts was
the question of taxation of bridges, Iowa
claiming that each state had Jurisdiction
of that part of the bridge which lay on her
side of the river mid-line, measuring from
bank to bank.
Principle of the Decision.
In its opinion the court says that under
International law, when manageable river
constitutes the boundary between two
states the line defining the point at which the
jurisdiction of the two separates is well
established to be the middle of the main
channel of the stream. The interest of
each state in the navigation of the river
admits of no other line. The preservation
by each of its equal rights in the ndviga-
ton of the stream is the subject of para
mount interest. 1t is therefore held that
the middle of the channel marks the true
boundary.
Right of Navigation Common.
The obvious reason for this is that the
right of navigation is presumed to be COM
mon to both countries in the absence of
special treaty usage to the contrary.
The same rule which applies to European
countries will be held to apply here unless
changed by special agreements having the
force of law. The controlling considera-
ton in this matter of the boundary of the
Mississippi is that which will preserve to
each state equality in the right of naviga-
ton of the river. BY holding that the
boundary line is the middle of the chan
mel conditions cannot arise which would
give single state control over its naviga-
ton.
