Bishop last night, was lynehed this morn
ing. Alter last nights fatal encounter
with the militia the mob continued its
search for the negro. and found the place
where he was secreted. They took Smith
from policeman; then hanged and shot
him in the residence part OF the city.
Coroner Gray and jury repaired early
to the scene of the lynching, and after
viewing the body entered verdict that
the negro came to death at the hands of
persons unknown to them. After the in
quest police officers were ordered TO take
charge of the body. but the surging mass
of men assembled would not let them
touch it. A coal cart passing near by was
pressed into service, and the body thrown
into it. 1t was then hauled to Mayor
Trout's residence, it being seemingly the
intention of the mob TO bury il in his
front yard. At this moment Rev. Camp
bell appeared and dissuaded them from
carrying out tho plan.
Then they took the body TO the edge of
the river to- burn it. Fences were torn
down, store boxes taken and some one
with an ak cut down several ceda. trees
hSaI w. OEy WOOQ Was iaiu III large
pile and on the heap the negro's body was
laid. On top of all cedar boughs were
thrown. Then, just before touching the
match, two gallons of coal oil were poured
over all. A match was touched to it and
the flames shot rapidly up. 1t was an
awful sight. 1t was not long before tue
crowd dispersed, but all morning men and
sometimes occasional women were seen
going toward the place of the burning
Ali remaining of Smith at noon was n few
ashes and here and there o bone, but the
fire was still burning and those standing
around said it should burn till there was
not vestige lett.
Owing to the bitter feeling and threats
against the mayor and Capt. Bird, of the
militia, they have lett town.
Nine persons were killed last night, as
follows: S. 4. Wick, William Sheets, c.
w. Whitmeyer, ]. Ii. Tyler, George
White, w. Z. Hall, w. Jones, John Mills
George Settle. A number are wounded
very severely and several are likely TO die
Mayor Trout. who was wounded in the
foot, was carried TO the Ponce de Leon
hotel. but owing to the threats of the mob
he was removed from there to the country,
where he still is. Acting Mayor Buckner
has assumed control and suspended the
chief of police and several officers. The
coroners jury was in session all day in
vestlgating the cause of the tragedy, but
has not completed its labors The town

"senator" Adams Rounded Tn.

Frank Adams. alias the Senator" who
is known by the police as a bunko sharp,
was arraigned before Judge Glasgow yes
terday afternoon on the charge of being a
diso-derly person. The Senator" is a
small. meek-looking fellow, but is really
vicious. as Detective Philbrick can testify.
One evening some time before Charles De-
fel was shot by Fay. PhiIbrick was after
Dehel for creating a row IN Columbia
street restaurant He found him on Wash
ington street in front of the NJ. & y.
saloon. and put him under arrest. The
Senator" took hand in the proceedings
and tried to liherate Defiel For several
minutes things were very lively, and the
officer had all he cared 10 attend to. In the
end, however, he arrested his man and
the Senator After the Senator" got
out of that trouble he went to Tacoma and
cut backman with knife. In some way
there was a mistake in drawing up the
complaint which saved Adams from serv
ing term for assault with deadly
weapon. He has not troubled the police
of this city much since then. but arrived
at his old haunts ten DAYS ago. When
Phiibriek took him in yesterday the Sen
ator" did not enjoy it aud claimed he was
used roughly. Judge Glasgow listened to
his story and then gave him thirty days in
the city jail. The commitment was with
held for twenty-foar hours to allow him 70
get out of town.

PHOENIX, Ariz,. Sept. 2i-C. l.. Gibbs.
one OF the best known capitalists in the
territory, was found dead in ditch near
this city this morning. The coroner's
jury has not yet completed the investiga-
ton, but circumstances point to suicide,
either by poison or drowning. Deceased
owned extensive property. but his busi-
ness was chiefly that of a money lender.
There was 10 suspicion That he was in
financial trouble until two days ago. His
father-in-law was 4. Goodenough, of Los
Angeles, to whom it was learned he owed
SIS. 600. Gibbs had been trying to arrange
matters, but was unsuccessful last night,
and his family say he spent the night
walking the floor. Early this morning he
drove to his ranch. accompanied by his
son, whom he soon after sent away. The
body was found in the ditch two hours
later with the face out of the water.

be time enough TO have committee of

The resolution was defeated by an al
most unanimous vote.
The board of aldermen convened sepa-
rately both before and after the joint ses-
sion. but apart from an allusion TO ex-
porting the books of the late city treasurer
did little. Dr.Sseeney brought up the sub
ject and Mr.. earle explained that re-
quest had been sent 10 the lcommttee to
employ experts from outside the city. He
thought the committee. however. would
disregard the request. Several other mem
bers thought that Seattle experts would
do the work without prejudice and as
well as others. Mr.. Carrie said the COM
mittee had talked good deal over the
QUESTION of exporting the books and had
concluded that no matter whether the
committee had the work done or not. the
higher court, ii the case ever came before
il, would have the work done over again.
The following ordinances were read:

BOARD OF WORKS.
Water Obtained From a Private Source
Without Franchise.

The water department has discovered
that somebody, supposed to be the Cold
Storage Company. has been supplying the
Seattle Athletic Club with water, and
superintendent Calligan was instructed
to notify both parties that it was contrary
to law. On Mr.. Calllgan's suggestion it
was also resolved to take precautions
against water mains being exposed to
frost, as the loss to the city from that
cause last winter was about Sl,04i.
A petition for the grading of Joy street
was referred to the city engineer for veri-
hcation.
The state university asked for rebate
for water furnished in February last, be-
cause the pipes burst and the waste was
not due to any fault of the university.
The average rate was Sill per month, but
for February it was SAT. The board took
no action.
Several petitions for water and electric
lights were referred for inquiry.
