Desperadoes-A Mob Hangs One of the
Murderers.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, March oO.-A ter
riblc tragedy occurred on the Knox
Vile 4 OHIO passenger train Saturday
morning before daylight at Hells
Point, a peculiarly significant
name, = miles east from New
comb, in which Sheriff John Burnett,
of Campbell county, was killed, Depu-
ty Sheriff John Dale probably fatally
shot, Crusoe Smith mortally wounded
and Jesse Jones sustained several Sc
rious injuries. The tragedy occurred
while Sheriff Burnett was attempting
to execute the law and aid the con-
duet II in protecting the passengers
from a gang of desperadoes
Jones was captured and placed in
all at Jaclxsboro. The others, includ-
ing Crusoe Smith, escaped. Jones was
a leader in the mining troubles last
SPRING and was a refugee from Scott
county.
\ dispatch from Jellico says that
j udge Lynch held a meeting Saturday
night at midnight at Jaclsboro, and at
daylight the form of Jesse Jones was
found hanging to an old-fashioned
gate-beam quarter of a mile
east of the town limits. At mid
night Jailer Irwin was called to the
door of his residence. lie looked out
upon courtyard full of determined
people and the leaders at once covered
him with rifles ana demanded that he
unfasten the doors and lead them to
Jesse Jones' cell. The jailer obeyed
the orders and soon Jones was brought
forth.
A march was taken mp until the
barnyard of Rev. J. 5. Lindsay was
reached Before an old-time beam
gate the mob halted and one of their
number mounted the gallows and
placed the rope over the top beam.
Jones throughout was remarkably col
lected. Asked IL he had anything to
say, he denied having any connection
with the affair. He was then drawn
up and the rope made fast, when the
mob quickly dispersed.

MOUND THEM DEAD.


Rcsidenus of Freepolt, H., Discover the
CharrcS Remains OF MIR. aud Mrs. Boe-
decker ~ the Ruins of Their Burned
Dwelling Under Circumstances That
Ledeyo the Belief That They Had Been
Nurdered.
> FREEPoRT, Ill, March 20.-The resi-
dence of Henry Boedeker. a we'll
known citizen of Freeport, burned to
the ground at a. IN. saturday and the
charred bodies of Mr.. and Mrs.
Boedelker were found in the
ruins. The origin of the fire
is a mystery. Mr.. Boedeker was
one of our leading coal merchants
and has been doing a good deal
Of collecting of late. 1t is believed
that burglars entered the house in the
night and that they were surprised at
their work by Mr.. Boedelxer, who gave
them battle. The supposition is that
the burglars killed both Mr. and Mrs
Boedeker and then set lire to the house
TO eoverup their cpime. Charles Trunck,
a neighbor. was the first to discov-
err the fire and he found the front
doors of the house wide open and not a
sound could be heard from within. For
this reason it is believed that the
couple met with foul play. The body
of Mr.. Boedeker was found downstairs
and his wife's body was found up
stairs. Both were burned beyond rec
ognition. The coroner is now investi
eating the double murder.
1t is claimed that both Boedecker
ana his wife were too careful to have
left any door open, and that this must
have been the work of some burglars
The door when opened from the down
stairs room usually occupied as
a bedroom by the Boedeclxers
was lying fiat on the floor aad on it
We're the marks of blood and some
human hair. Mrs. Boedecller's clothes
were found in the bedroom downstairs,
but no trace of Bodecker's could be
found. 1t is known that he had in his
possession large silver watch and
chain, but no trace of this has been dis
covered, although several metal arti-
cles have been found. His bool1keeper
also states that he took from the office
when he went home nineteen silver
dollars, and not vestige of these had
been found.

SERIOUS FACTS Aeour BREAD

Consider.
a serious danger nenaees the health
of the people of this country in the
numerous alum baking powders that
are now being urged upon the public.
There is no ques ton as to the detri
mental effects of these powders upon the
system. Every Board of Health. every
physician, win tell you of the unwhole.
some qualities the add to the food.
some countries have absolutely prohib-
tied the sale of bread containing alum.
Even small doses of alum, given &c
children, have produced fatal results,
while cases of heartburn, indigestion,
gripping constipatioa, dyspepsia, and va.
rious kindred gastric troubles from irri-
tation of the mucous membrane. caused
by the continuous use of food prepared
with the alum or alum-phosphate pow
ders, are familiar in the practice of
every physician.
1t is not possible that any prudent
housewife. any loving mother. viii
knowingly use an article of food that
will injure the health of her household.
or perhaps cause the death of her chill
dren.
How shall the dangerous alum pow
ders be distinguished? And how shall
the danger to health from their use be
avoided?
Generally, alum powders may be
known from the price at which they are
sold, or from the fact that they are ac-
companied by n gift, or are disposed
Of under some scheme. The alum pow
der costs but few cents a pound to
make, and is often sold at 20 or 25 cents
pound. If some present is given with
it, the price may be so, 40 or SO cents a
pound.
IL IS impossible to name all the alum
powders in the market, but any baking
powder sold at 4 low Price, or advertised
as costing only half as much as cream
Of tartar powders, or accompanied by
present. or disposed of under any
scheme, is of this class, detrimental to
health. and to be avoided.
But the easy, safe, and certain pro-
lection of our bread, biscuit and cake
from all danger OF Embellishments is
in the use of the Royal Baking Powder
only. This powder is mentioned be-
cause of the innumerable reports in its
favor by high medical authorities, by

which leave nc doubt o. to its entire
freedom from alum, lime and ammonia,
its absolute purity and wholesomeress
While its use is thus a safeguard
against :he poisonous alum powders il
IS satisfactory at the same time to know
chat il makes the whitest, highest,
sweetest and most delicious food, which
viii keep moist and fresh longer, and
that can be eaten with immunity hot
or cold. stale or fresh, and also that
owing to its greater strength it is more
economical than Others.
These facts should incline consumers
TO turn a deaf ear to all opportunities
TO buy the inferior powders. If a grocer
urges the sale of the cheap, impure,
alum brands. it should be borne in
mind that it is because he can make
more profit on them. The wise house
keeper viii decline IN all cases to take
them.
