LYNCH LAW in DENVER.
An italian Who Killed an Old Soldier Hanged
bV a Mob,

DENVER, Col, July 26.-Last night B.
C. Lightfoot, an old Grand Army man,
entered saloon in the bottoms, kept
by Dan Arrata, ali Italian of unsavory
fame. Lightfoot asked for glass of beer,
and paid for it. When he had drank
it Arrata asked him to have another
drink. Lightfoot supposing it to be a
''treat," accepted it and started to leave
the place. Arrata stopped him and de-
manded pay for the beverage. Light
foot did not have the necessary
money and the Italian, picking up
a chair, brutally assaulted him,
knocking out the left eye at
tender followed up his attack, literally
beating the old man, who was 60 years
of age and rather childish, nearly to
death. But he was not quite dead, and
to make sure of his victim Arrata shot
him through the heart. The murderer
was arrested and placed in jail.
Tonight a mob of 5000 men, led by
an old Grand Army man, went to the
jail, took Arrata, after a fight with the
Jail guards in which several Of their
number were wounded, and in the pres
ence of an audience of $4,000 hunged
him and riddled his body with bullets.
No arrests have been made.

STOPPED ON THE STATE LINE.
Unemployed Men from Colorado Not Per-
mitted to Remain In Missouri.

Unemployed Men from Colorado Not Per-
mitted to Remain In Missouri.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 29.-Chief of
Police Spears, with large squad of po-
lice, was on hand at the state line this
morning to meet the 300 unemployed
men from Colorado who started for this
city from Denver last night over the
Union Pacific Railway. Chief Spears
railway companies to bring paupers
these men tramps and trading on the
misfortunes of the real unemployed
men in order to get free railroad trans
portation, he decided they should not
enter Missouri. The train, which con-
tanned five box cars, rolled eastward
at an early hour The state line was as
far as the train with it's motley lot of
men was allowed to go, however. the
police making a firm stand and compel
ling the engineer to stop. When the
inmates of the box cars became aware
of the purpose of the police there was
much loud talk among them and some
threats. Their miserable accommoda-
tons on their ride had put them in no
sweet frame of mind, and for time it
looked as though they would make trou-
bic. Upon cooler consideration of the
situation, however, and in the face of SO
sturdy a squad of policemen, their
threats died on their lips. The men
finally agreed not to stop in Kansas
City and the train was allowed to pro-
coed to the Union Depot. After disem-
barking the men were as good as their
word and soon scattered, some going
east, while others started south.

NO MONEY FOR FREIGHT.
Crops in the Northwest Tied UP by the
Money Shortage.

Crops in the Northwest Tied UP by the
Money Shortage.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 3l.-The ques-
ton of how to move the wheat crop of
Minnesota and the Dakotas for 1893 is
becoming one of great seriousness.
Owing to the financial stringency the
borrowing power of the grain men has
become very limited. The country
banks will not lend, and the money
to be had is but mere frac-
ton of what has heretofore been
used in moving the crops. Vari-
Gus plans have been suggested whereby
the effects of the stringency may be OBJ
waited as much as possible Any plan
that will result in the moving of the
crops, even though it be done very slow
ly, must be acceptable. Such a plan has
been proposed and is being adopted in
some parts of Southern Minnesota, and
will very probably be generally adopted,
as it meets with much favor in business
circles as being practical solution Of
the question. The plan is that the
grain men issue their checks for grain
purchased Of the farmers payable fifteen
days after date, which would allow time
for the collection of drafts against con-
signments. At some points the banks
will not advance money on drafts against
consignments, but will only enter such
drafts for collection. This plan makes a
division of the burden which the
farmers cannot but admit is fair.

SIAM BENDS A KNEE.
Every Concession Demanded by the French
Government Is AbjeCtIy.Granted.

Government Is AbjectIy.Granted.
BANGKOK, July 29.-The Siamese gov
eminent has accepted the full terms of
the French ultimatum. The substance
of the ultimatum was as follows:
l. A recognition of the rights of AMMAN
and Cambodia on the left or eastern bank OF
the Mekong River as far north as the tWen-
ty-third parallel of latitude.
2. The evac nation within month of the
forts held by the Siamese on the east banks
of the river.
8. Full satisfaction for various Saimese
aggressions against French ships and
French sailors on the Menam River.
f. The punishment of the culprlts and
provision for the pecuniary indemnity OF
S. An indemnity of 100000 francs for
various damages sustained sby French sub
jects. oo
francs to guarantee the payment OF the
fourth and fifth claims or the assignment OF
the taxes in certain districts in lieu OF the
deposit of 5000, 600 francs.
This ultimation was sent on July 10
and forty eight hours were allowed for
Siam to make answer to the French de-
mands. On July 81 M. Pavie, the
French minister at Bangkok, presented
the ultimation to Prince DevOngse, the
Siamese foreign minister. On July q
Siam replied, stating that the King was
at loss to understand what the rights
ofAnnam and Cambodia were on the left
bank of the Mekong River. The King
expressed his willingness to abandon
all the territories over which the
existence of these rights could be
proved and called attention to the fact
that five months previously he had pro-
posed to submit all the contested terri
toria! questions to international arbitra-
ton. In the interests of peace, how
ever, the king offered to surrender the
territory as far north as the eighteenth
degree of latitude, but no further, and
proposed that the islands in the Mekong
River be used in COMMON by Siam and
France. All the otHer points of the
ultimatum were conceded.
This answer was not satisfactory to
France, and subsequently NJ. Pavie
withdrew from Bangkok on a gunboat
and the French warships in the Menam
River went to Kohsi-C Chang, an island
near the head of tie Gulf of Siam,
where they joined the French fleet
under the command of Admiral
Human. France then determined to
blockade the Siamese coast.
There is serious doubt as to the time
the blockade was to be made effective.
The French government informed the
British government that the blockade
would begin August /, but
the British minister at Bang
kok later informed the British
foreign Office that it had commenced on
July rs. Lord Roseber, the British for
eign minister, yesterday asked the
French government for prompt ex-
PLANTATION of this conflict in dates, but
the answer has not yet been made pup
lie.
With the acceptance of the ultimatum
by the Siamese government the war
cloud in the East would of course pass
over.

The German Ruler to Witness the Isle
of Wight Yacht Races.
LONDON, July 29.-Emperor William,
on board the imperial yacht Hohen-
zollern, arrived at Dover this morning
from kiel. Count Won Hatfield, Ger
man ambassador to Great Britain, was
at Dover awaiting the arrival of the
yacht. He at once embarked and the
Hohenzollern proceeded westward tor
the Solent. Some miles east of
Spithead the royal yacht Osborne,
with the Prince of Wales and a distin-
guished party on board, met the Hohen-
zollern, and after exchanging signals
with the German yacht, sailed in her
company TO Cowes, Isle of Wight. AS
the two yachts entered the Solent, sa-
lutcs in honor of the German Emperor
were fired at Portsmouth and Cowes.
The Solent presented beautiful appear
ance, the water being studded with
yachts and pleasure craft, all of which
were decorated with German and
British flags and hundreds of
vari-colored signal flags. The Emperor
was given an enthusiastic reception.
He will witness the races off the Isle of
Wight during his stay His Maiesty's
yacht Meteor, formerly the well-known
British cutter Thistle, that was defeated

found1and Ready for a Fight.
ST. JOINS, N. F., July 29.-The strain
ing of the relations between Great Brit
ain and France over Siam is felt here.
Rumor has it that the British warships
Cleopatra, Pelican and Buzzard have
been ordered to be prepared for dec
laration Of war. Commodore Curzon
Howe, on the Cleopatra, is on the north
east coast, but is in constant communi
cation with the Pelican at Bay St. George
and the Buzzard lying here. The
latter is loading stores ready to go to
the others at moments notice. For
three days her men, by the order of
Admiral Hopkins, have been blowing
away a rock at the entrance to the har-
Dor which prevents the flagship Blake
from entering at low tide. Two French
werships are on the French shore I'M
der command of Admiral La Mornix.
The French shore question is a
source of ceaseless irritation, and
the illfeeling between the two
nationalities on this island was ag-
gravated by the refusal of Admiral
La Mornix participate in the festivi-
ties in honor of the Duke of York's
wedding fortnight ago. This refusal
was construed as an insult to the gov
ernor and to the Cleopatra's officers.
The Island Of st. Pierre, south of New
foundland, originally intended as har-
COR for French fishing vessels, has been
fortified and garrisoned, contrary to the
treaties. The beginning of hostilities
culd quickly bring the two squadrons
here into collision. Stirring events are
expected next week.

LONDON, July 29.-The Siamese lega-
ton in this city has received a dispatch
from Bangkok stating in effect that the
Siamese government, learning that
France regarded it's reply to the ulti-
matum as refusal to grant the French
demands, and being most DESTROYS of
maintaining peace, has telegraphed
instructions to the Siamese minister at
Paris to inform NJ. Develle, the French
foreign minister, that Siam accepts the
ultimatum in its entirety The dis
patch adds that the Siamese govern
ment hopes that the blockade will
cease; that the diplomatic negotiations
will be resumed, and that ali early
settlement of the troubles will be
effected. Lord Rosebery, secretary
of state for foreign affairs, was
at the foreign Office at very early
hour this morning. He remained there
for several hours Mr. Gladstone mas
concluded that his presence in London
now is not necessary and he has gone
to-day to make lis promised visit to

SWINDLE IN GRAIN.
Eastern Banks Lose Three Quarters OF a
Million Dollars.


BosroN, Mass, July 31.-A huge con-
spiracy has been unearthed here,
whereby seventy-three banks and
banking institutions in New En-
gland were victimized. The story is to
the effect that certain employees of the
Northern Pacific Elevator Company
of Minnesota issued Sl,50O,OOO
worth of forged duplicate certlfl-
Gates for grain in storage in the
Country" elevators, owned by the con-
Germ where the inspection is not SO strict
as at the terminal elevators. These
forged certificates were deposited with
Eastern banks as collateral. About
100000 was secured in New England
and the balance in New York. Some OF
the Eastern holders of the paper be-
came suspicious, and on an investlga-
ton being made the true state OF affairs
came to light. The stockholders
of the elevators were dumfounded
when the facts came to their notice
and offers of settlement with the banks
were at once made and terms of COM
promise offered. The company was
then reorganized as the Lake Superior
Elevator Company with George Cooksey
of David Bows d Co.. New York, as pres
Y.
were 60 per cent cash, the remainder to
be paid in five annual payments. A COM
mittee of bankers, whose institutions
hold large blocks of the elevator cor
tifcates was appointed to consider this
proposition. It is impossible to say
exactly what course the bankers will
pursue, as they are loath to talk, and,
in fact, they have done all in their pow
er to keep the whole affair from the
public The few who do say anything
land they are very few admit that they
have been swindled, and declare the
swindlers ought to be sent to prison:
At the same time, they say that good
business policy, under present condi-
tons, forbids such severe action, es-
pecially as the stockholders of the
elevator company are ready to make
compromise settlement. The North
ern Pacific Elevator Company is now
in the hands of receiver and the
frauds Of it's employees have wiped out
it's existence. Among the New England
banks swindled are nearly all the state
institutions here, which were hit heavi-
ly; banks at Portland, Me-, and various
banks in the towns about Boston.

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, ILL.,,
July 29.-The efforts to reduce the free
list to the fair are proving 50 successful
that Supt. Tucker, of the department
of admissions, predicts that under
the revision now taking place
at least 10000 season passes will be cut
off. People who are conscious Of their
questionable right of free admission
have been making the most of their
passes since the orders for revision and
reduction were issued, the attendance
from this source have jumped from 3d.
600 to 10000 day. AS the order cut
ting off the old passes goes into effect
August l, it is expected that after that
date the daily free admissions will de-
crease to but a little over $780, 900.
A new feature was introduced this
afternoon at the weekly prize contest in
bers of the police and fire department
sack and wheelbarrow races There was
also the usual jig dancing for prizes.
August there will be change of the
Oreche connected with the children's
building. On that day the Buffalo
Fitch reche officers officers who have
been conducting the institution since
the exposition opened will give place

OVER ONE THOUSAND SLAIN.
More Than One Thousand Men Killed in
Battle.

San JUAN DEL SUR, Nicaragua, July 80.
Reports have reached here that Gen.
Zavala has strongly fortified Granada
and has organized an army of 1900 to
defend the city. Details of the battles
fought at Mateares where the govern
ment forces made their first defense Of
Managua, and the one at Managua,
shows that Gen. Zelaya who aided
in the overthrow of Sacaza and
afterward joined the revolutionary par
ty of Leon, led the attacking troops on
each occasion. A determined resist
ance was made by the government
forces. There was desperate fighting at
each place. The loss of life was enor-
NOUS. Gen. Zavala, president of the
Canada government, admits that $50
men lost their lives in the engagement,
but the lowest estimate placed by i'm
partial observers upon the combined
loss in the two battles is from 1000 to
400 lives. The fighting was at close
rance
