GERMANY WILL COOPERATE.

Her Refusal to Interfere Will Not Affect
the Protection of Europeans in China.
LONDON, Oct. ia dispatch to The
Times from Berlin says that Germany's
refusal to interfere in the Chinese
Japanese trouble does not affect the
question of protection to Europeans in
China, in which she will fully CO.
operate. The German commander in
Chinese waters has already been
authorized to dispatch small body OF
marines to protect the legation at
Pekin. If there should be any trouble
it is believed that the moral effect OF
even such small body Of European
troops would effectually check Chi

HE DIED GAME.
Oscar Martin, Prominent
Citizen Of Stanton, KY,
Lynched.
HE MURDERED THE SHERIFF.
He Defjes the Mob to the
Last-More Trouble Ex-
pected.

LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. l5.-At the
close of the Beattyville fair Oscar Nor
ton, a prominent citizen Of Stanton in
Powell county went on the warpath.
Only two weeks ago Morton killed his
man at Stanton and was out on $4,000
bond to appear at the Powell circuit
court. When Morton arrived at the
fair he proceeded to get drunk and then
went to hunt for Sheriff William
;Simms, who was his deadly enemy,
a feud of long standing existing be-
tween the two men. Simms and Nor
ton met near the entrance to the fair
grounds and after few words both Of
them drew guns and quick exchange
of shots followed, Morton using two
guns. His first shot broke the sheriff S
right arm at the elbow and John Hogg,
/, friend Of Simms, whipped out his gun
and Joined in the battle. When the
smoke had cleared away it was found
that
Sheriff Simms Was Dead.
having shot through his bre asst, one
in his abdomen and another through
his arm. Morton was shot through the
neck, while Hogg was unhurt. Before
a crowd could collect Morton was
hustled to the county Jail and placed
under guard The people became in
furiated and big meeting was at once
held on the public square. Colonel
John Drummond mounted a barrel and
made speech, in which he said that
the murderer must be hanged but that
the work must be done quietly and
in perfect order; Morton had killed two
men in less than two weeks time and
he must die by the rope. A mob was
quickly formed and marched to the
jail. The jailer was overpowered and
the keys to Morton's cell obtained. He
was found lying in his shirt sleeves on
the floor of his cell and after a bitter
struggle was seized and dragged out.
He then became very inlpudent and
told the mob that he did not care what
they did with him provided
They Did Their Work Quickly.
After short parley he was taken to
little bridge some distance from town
and the rope was placed around his
neck. The leaders told him to jump or
else he would be riddled with bullets.
Turning around the doomed man cursed
his captors and uttering a wild impre'
cation leaped into space. The jump
broke his neck and after dangling in
the air for some minutes he became
still and volley Of shots was fired
into him. The mob then dispersed and
the body was left dangling from the
bridge. None of the mob made any at
tempt to conceal their identity and the
hanging was conducted with as much
formality as if it had been legal
affair.
The murderer was a wealthy man
who lived at Stanton. He has killed
three men. This is the eighth lynch
ing in Central Kentucky in the past
three months and the people are deter
mined to put down murder if they have
to take the law in their own hands
every time man is killed. Morton s
relatives are incensed over the lynching
and it may be that some old feuds will
be reopened.
