STRONG UIifS; Ktfl:;; May Tho
great excitement which prevailed all OF
Saturday night and which nearly cul-
minated in the lynching of George
hose, the murderer of Assistant Post
master Karl Kuhl of Cottonwood Falls,
but which was finally subdued by the
cooler judgment of the lest citizens of
the vicinity, broke out afresh and about
II p. IN. a mob of So masked men
marched to the Jail and called Sheriff
Murdoch to the door. AS soon as the
sheriff opened the door he was over
powered by the men, who placed pistols
to his head, and, conducting him to the
door of the cell occupied ly Rose, he
was commanded to unlock it. The
sheriff entreated his captors to desist,
but to no purpose, and he was finally
compelled to unlock the cell door,
under threats that the mob would have
the man they sought if they had to
Pull the Jail Down.
Every approach to the Jail and court
house was carefully guarded ly armed
memters of the mob. Everything was
done In quiet manner, every man
seeming to know what he was to do.
After securing the prisoner the mob
marched east to railroad bridge
In the meantime word had
reached the citizens Of the town gener-
ally, and crowd of fully thousand
people gathered at the bridge to see
the lynching. A rope was placed
around the victims neck. his hands and
feet were tied, and he Was given a
shove off the bridge, falling about 10
feet. His neck was broken and death
was almost instantaneous. The lynch
ers then disappeared, leaving his lody
dangling between the bridge and the
waters Of Cottonwood river, where it
remained until a.m., when the coro-
ner held an inquest. The general ver-
dict here is that lynching was justifable,
and it is understood that the men who
did the work included some OF the best
citizens of Cottonwood Falls.

THE DAM WENT OUT,

Ranchers Along the Red Rock R:ver in

SALT LAKE CRY, May 14.-A special
to The Tribune from Lima, Mont. says:
The Lima dam broke during the morn
ing and its body Of water is surging
down Red Rock river at terrific rate,
sweeping every thing before it. AS soon
as this was discovered, men on horse
back hastened down the river toward
the rhaches, but almost every rancher
along the bottoms has lost everything.
Houses, barns, fences, haystacks, and
all kinds of stock are being carried
away. The track is washed out be-
tween here and Dillon in many places
and the damage will figure high. The
water, after leaving the dam has a
clean sweep through we'll settled
country for over 60 m lies and many
families will be without shelter or

'|"c" u y. 90 l'.r Cent.
As!uNG2c=. y: V l.!.-A reduction
OF the cost Of c"*1l.'5 steel, iron and
other metals by 80 ,tr cent, a great
saving in time, the production oe cast
ings free from oxidization and blow
holes, and most important Of all, the
production OF pig iron in mountainous
and remote districts having water
power and ore, but no coal, all these
things may result from the application
OF electricity according to new pro-
cess described in a report to the depart
ment of state by the United States
Consul, Frank Mason, at Frankfort,
Germany. The process is known as
the Taussig, and provides for smelling
and casting metals by electric heat un-
der the influence of rarefed air.
An Air Tight Furnace,
lined with glazed fire brick, has its
hearth connected with molds into
which the fused metal flows by gravi-
tation. The fire brick lining forms an
efficient insulation, and the electric cur
rent is sent through the charge directly,
without the use of any fuel or the en-
ployment of carbon electrodes. Thereby
the fused metal is nearly pure and free
from carbon, and the continued ex-
haustion of the air and gases produced
increases the fuidity of the molten ma
terial, prevents oxidization and blister
ing, and produces dense, smooth cast
ings of the highest mechanical quality.
Result of an Experiment..
In a small, experimental furnace,
ton and half Of pig iron was, smelted
in Is minutes by current Of 10000
arnperes and 81 volts-atout 2, 900 horse
power. With water power the cost is
very low, and even using steam to gen
crate the electric current there is an
economy in fuel in smelling of 80 to 50
per cent. The cost of pig iron, with
ore at $40 per ton, it Is said, would
not exceed S. per ton, with motive
power of ], 900 horse power.

Much good can be done by such revivals
of patriotism will surely result from
the presentation yesterday of portrait of
Washington to the Central High School.
The time has probably come for Ameri-
cans to absorb into their businesslike
souls some of the eleyating influences of
historical mem ories, and there Is now 70
be obtained perspective on our own ma
wholesome view of persons and events.
Hero-worship has its uses 1t stimulates
in the breasts of good citizens a feeling of
enthusiasm for country and for the men
who made this great republic possible.
Therefore no opportunity should be ne
elected by such means as those employed
yesterday at the High School TO stimulate
this sentiment in the youthful mind. Pic
lures, statues and good books do wonders
in keeping the memories of the early he
roes OF the republic fresh in the mind of
the coming generation, and the examples
of these nation-buiders will become more
and more valuable as time grows apace.
The day may come when the nation will
need the patriotic spirit thus inculcated.
Such a spirit came nObly to the front in
the sixties. and though the ship of state is
sailing on placid waters now. there is no
certainty that there will never again be
storm.
