GALLON, July 90. The commission
business of j. Ii. Davis g. Co., has gone
into the hands of the constable, at the
instance of Seery & Seery, Poplar; Citi-
zens' National bank, Gallon, and Fran
chant & Final, of Osborne, o. The col
lapse of the firm has brought to the
front number of creditors, and it is
learned that the liabilities of the con-
Germ will run anywhere from $1,000 to
$4,000. Davis came here about the 1st
of April, proposing to do large busi-
ness, and he did it. The deals were in
flour, feed, poultry, eggs, fruit, etc,
but mostly in the first named article.
Here is specimen letter showing the
firms methods: ''We have been pur-
chasing flour from mill close to you
which did not give satisfaction, and
have concluded to try you. Ship us
ten barrels at once" The -four came
on and check was sent to pay for IT,
with an order for fifty barrels more on
thirty days time. This flour was re-
ceived and Immediately shipped to
parties in New York and Cincinnati.
j. II. Davis & Co. have gone where the

beat sadly to the tune of departed

FREE LANDS IN OKLAHOMA.


Over 100000 Acres Subject to Homestead
Entry-The Last and Only Free Land In
the Southwest.
GUTHRIE, o. T., July 24.-There Is
considerable excitement here over a
discovery in the land office. An exam
ination Of the records shows that there
are 100000 acres of land in the Chey-
enne and Arapahoe reservations in the
western part of this territory subject
to homestead entry and which has nev-
er been filed. This is nearly all first
class agricultural land, well watered
and partly timbered, and can be had at
s1.50 per acre. In Beaver county, gen.
orally known as No Mans Land, there
are also over 100000 acres subject to
homestead entry. This county adjoins
the Cherokee strip on the west and
much Of the land is better watered and
more fertile than a large portion of the
strip.
These 100000 acres are absolutely
free to the homesteaders, the last and
only free land In the southwest. All a
man has TO do is to settle upon them
and live there, and why so many should
overlook these free lands and wait for
the Cherokee strip, where they must
pay from 81 to $3.50 per acre for the
same quality of land and fight for II be-
sides Is a mystery.

HANGED AND BURNED.

Lee Walker, Negro, the Victim of n Mob'l
vengeance at Memphis, Tenn.-The Sher-
IN seriously Injured In an Attempt ia
Protect His Prisoner.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 24.-Lee Walk
or, the negro who assaulted Miss Mol
lie McCadden, near Bond station and on
the same day assaulted colored girl,
and who was captured Friday, was
lynched Saturday night in spite of the
fact that twenty-five well-armed depu-
ty sheriffs guarded the Jail and that
Sheriff McLendon had given it out that
the mob should not triumph. The
lynching was very similar to the Bard
well affair, the body being cremated
after the hanging in full view of 1000
men, women and children.
The attack on the Jail began at II
o'clock. 1t was not believed it would
be successful, the mob being composed
chiefly of drunken men and boys, and
Sheriff McLendon ordered his men not
to hurt anybody The crowd grew in
numbers, and finally broke down the
jail gates. Even then the sheriff would
not permit his men to use their weap.
ons.
Finally rush was made and McLen-
don was knocked senseless, the mob
battered down the doors, found the
negro's cell and got him out. He
fought fiercely and bit several men Sc.
verely. He was stabbed and slashed
until the blood streamed from him in
torrents. He was hustled off to a tele-
graph pole two blocks away and rope
was fastened around his neck. He was
lifted up and his then naked body
swung clear off the ground. Then a
big railroad switchman pulled his legs
until his neck cracked. The negro
was dead, or nearly so, before he was
hanged. Sheriff McLendon is dam
gerously wounded. He seems to have
conclusion of the brain. Walker was
10 years old, very black and as strong
as gorilla.

Railroad Rate War to the Worlds Fair
Appointments by the Governor.

COLUMBUS, July 22.-The railroad rate
war to the worlds fair broke out here
yesterday morning in full force. The
Sandusky & Columbus Short Line,
Hooking Valley, b. & o. and Pan-Han-
die are all selling round trip tickets at
IS, with indications that the rate will
be further reduced. The reduction was
caused by the Panhandle securing the
board of trade excursion at $3.50 and
furnishing parlor cars and dinner at
Logansport, Ind. The trunk lines say
that they propose to make the lines
that reach Chicago by connection
squeal before the war is over. The
fight is liable to extend to other cities
in the state before an adjustment can
be made.
Gov. Mckinley has appointed Theo-
dore Herstman, of Cincinnati, William
ii. Lawrence, of Cleveland, and c. NJ.

force the Sherman antitrust law The
