says any discrepancy will be made

THREE MEN LYNCHED
ubov Are Taken From a Kan.
saS Jail.
HANGED TO A RAILROAD BRIDGE.

r,,. Mob Broke the Locks From the
Jail Doors and Secured the Prisoners
without the Least IIinderancc--They
We're Charged with Numbering Fred
Dinning.
RUSSELL. Jan. ia mob of about
90 men entered the Jail Saturday night,
took ont j. Ct. Burton, William Gay
and his SON. John Gay, and hung the
trio to u small railroad bridge short
distance east of the depot in this city
About midnight the residents of the
north part of town heard party of 10
or 20 horsemen come in from the north
who left their horses at the stockyards
where plans were arranged and the
mob proceeds to the Jail. A few citi-
zens who happened to be out late
noticed the suspicious actions of the
mob, but were powerless to thwart the
purpose of such determined band of
armed men and watched the proceed
ings from safe distance. No officers
were aroused or even were aware of
what was going on until early Sun
day morning, so quiet were the &C
tons of the mob. Orders were given
by signs and obeyed without a word
being spoken.
The Jail is small wooden building
surrounded by an S-foot board fence.
In the Jail were two steel cages, in
which the prisoners We're confined.
Guards We're placed about the Jail and
it was but the work of Il moment for
the balance of the mob to gain an ell
trance to the Jail building. The masked
mob began to break off the locks of the
Jail with sledge hammers. The three
men were taken to the bridge. Ropes
were placed around their necks and
each given chance to speak.
The leader then clapped his hands
three times and as quick as a flash all
three were pushed off the bridge The
GAYS evidently died from strangula-
tion. but the moose on Burton's neck
slipped around up over his chin and he
was heard to breathe heavily for mo-
ment when several shots We're fired
into his body. Each of the others also
had bullet sent into him. The mol
then left as quietly as it came, going
north. The presumption is that the
persons were from the northern part OF
the county, the home of the criminals
and the scene of the murder
The crime for which the men were
lynched was the killing of Fred Din
ming in July last on the Burton place
about 20 miles northeast of this city
Inquiries regarding n draft payable tC
Dining and his mysterious disappear
ance led to an investigation and the ar
rest of Burton who implicated TIN
other two men. Each made a comics
sion which led to the finding of Din
ning's body buried in field near TIN
scene of the murder.

of the United State as against
Europe. Steel IN ade into rails in
this country is from the native ore.
What pig metal billets or blooms
are imported ARE used entirely in

"Now, it costs less than 81 a ton
to make steel rails from blooms, in.
Guiding the strengthening and
punching. In today's market steel
blooms sell less than $l7, steel rails
should not bring over sl9. They
did fall nearly to that price few
weeks ago, during a temporary
break in the steel rail pool. But
the pool was quickly re.organized
at $24 ton, so that by virtue of
the duty which keeps out the foreign
rails, the pool is compelling users
of rails to pay % per cen: more
than fair price. This steel rail
pool is composed of seven manufac-
turers, headed by Carnegie, who
absolutely control the products of
more than half of the rolled steel
produced in the United States, and
who have combined to pay other
large manufacturers heavy annual
sums to close their works, discharge
men and make no steel. Do
employers paw larger wages when
they get larger profits? l do not,
and even philantbropists do not.
Take Carnegie, who gives like a
prince out of his millions the tariff
has enable him to take from his fel
low citizens, but he does not raise
wages until he has to. Before he
started for Jerusalem he utilized the
the tariff to re.establish the steel
rail pool and pay other manufactur
ers to shut up and thro " men out OF
employment. Then the general cut
in wages was made in all his great
establishments, and then he an
nounced himself ready to give al
much as So 600 day to feed the

paired when party politics influences the
action of the boards. This may be true
to a certain degree, but the thought has
occurred to a good many indianapolis citi-
zens recently that If the members OF the
local board had been elected on a distinct
party basis and on the understanding that
not only they but their party were RESPONSE
bic to the public such a scandal as the pur-
chase OF the Ricketts, property would not
have been heard of. The party yoke acts
as a wholesome check to corrupt proceed
ings when it is known that the party
must bear the blame. In the present
board strict party fines were not drawn
in the election of several members. both
Democratic and Republican. and they feel
themselves superior to partisan obliga-
tons. Hereafter those lines will probably
be sharply drawn, and the party as well
as the individual will be made to pay the
penalty for such proceedings as the one in

Residents of the South Side may be dis
appointed in having the appropriation for
Garfield Park cut from $4,000 to $1,000, but
seven thousand is a much larger sum than
was ever expended on any other park In
this city in one year, and a great deal can
be done with it in the way of making i'm
provements. The money should only be
used to pay for work of a permanent char
acter, such as the building of roadways.
bridges. etc. If a lake is to be a feature
OF the park let that be undertaken. The
place has many natural advantages and
II can be made an attractive spot with a
smaller outlay than would be needed in
most other places near the city. The i'm
provements may be Undertaken without re-
gard to the present lack of street-car facil-
tiles. When the place is made such a
pleasant resort that people in the vicinity
will visit II, even at some inconvenience
to themselves, the street-car company will
extend its lines to the park gates. 1t is
a matter that will settle itself like any
other problem of demand and supply. 1t is
not unlikely that at present the car com
pany discriminates in favor of its own
park. but 1t will cease to do so when il
can increase it's business by a different
course. There is IN opportunity now for
the South Side to establish an outing place
that will exceed in attractiveness any other
in or near the city, and measures should
be taken to see that the appropriation is
wisely expended.
