BILL DEAN SWUNG OFF.
A MOB MADE A GOOD INDIAN
OF HIM.
Tho Citizens OF Fort Jones Have Begun
Crusade Against Crime by
LynchiDg Indian
Murderer.

FoRT JONES, CAL, Dec. 12.-Willinm
Dean, the Indian who murdered w ill.
lam Baremore at Happy Camp last
Thursday, was brought here yesterday
by Constable Dixon Of Happy Camp. on
the way to Yreka, where Dean had been
committed to the county jail to await a
trial before the superior court on the
charge OF murder.
About 2 O'Clock this morning about a
dozen masked men went to the For
Jones hotel, where the constable and
Dean were staying, and broke open the
door OF the room where the men were,
and demanded Dean.
The constable made an attempt to re-
sist, but be was soon overcome by the
mob, which disarmed him and took the
prisoner out OF bed. They tied him
hand and foot, and telling the constable
ii he made any disturbance they would
kill him. they carried Dean about 200
yards down the main street, where
there was derrick, and fastened a rope
around his neck and swung him up.
The mob waited for short while to
make sure he was dead, then they
quickly departed and disappeared, and
this morning when the citizens of Fort
Jones got around they saw sight they
will not soon forget. The dead body of
Dean was swinging in the air, where it
remained until about 8 o'clock, when it
was cut down by the coroner OF this
county.
There is no clue to the mob, as the
work was done in quiet and determ-
ined manner. and as soon as it was
over they disappeared. leaving no trace
behind.
This town was the home of Dean
and he had bad reputation, and
while the crime he suffered for was
not done here. the action of the mob
has the approval of many law.abiding
citizens.
The verdict OF the coroner's jury this
AFTERNOON was that Dean came to his
death by hanging, at the hands of
parties unknown.
This is the FIRST lynching in this part
of the country. but many crimes have
been committed lately, and it seems
that the citizens have determined to put
o stop to it.

MIR. EsTEE's CARD.
SAN FRANCISCO. Doc. IL, 1894.
To the People of California;
Some days ago in letter addressed to
the Republican state committee | stated
/ will make no contest TO secure the
office OF governor, either on my account
or by my direction. The question
whether there has been an honest vote
and fair count is for the people to de-
cide." This is my position still go fer
as it relates to the Office of governor. l
would not accept that Office If the tit.e
rested upon mere technical grounds,
but cannot permit my friends or my
party to stand in false position, or to
do for me what am not will
ing to endorse. It is due to Mr..
Cornwall, who recently commenced an
action in the supreme court to test the
validity OF the election in certain pre-.
cincts in San Francisco 1t is due to the
whole people OF the state. regardless OF
party, for me to ex plain why these pro-
ceedings have been taken.
They have been brought to uncover
alleged frauds in the recent election in
San Francisco. and not for the purpose
of changing the result by technical
means. am willing to assu me all re.
sponsibility of this litigation, and
state now that 10 ie right. i say further,
our government; there 10 nothing wo rth
preserving in the Republican party. if
wa cannot have an honest vote and q
fair couns at our elections.
The petition filed asks for a recount
in certain precincts in San Francisco
which show the earmarks of fraud. No
goou citizen can object to this. No law
abiding Republican can oppose this pro-
ceeding. 1t is not an attack upon q
party. 1t is to test the purity of our
elections. 1t world seem that in San
Francisco custom has made election
frauds popular. and opposition to them
is called An attack upon tho elective
franchise.

Under the laws enforced under the
former czar in Russia the children OF an
exile were not given any rights which
the father did not possess.
Many members Of the colony had been
sent to Siberia for minor offenses, such
as neglect to pay taxes. Many have
grown wealthy in San Francisco. and
they may now revisit Russia, be restored

They Will Cease TO B- Free Ports
E-w yssi's Day.
New YoRK. Dsc. so. In reference TO
the Colon dispatch received Friday
night exclusively by the Associated
Press stating that after January Pam
anna and Colon would cease to be free
ports, and that duty would be collected
of 10 per cent ad valorem on all inn
ports, officials OF the Panama Railway
com pany say that while they as yet have
received no official notification OF the
proposed action by the Colombian gov.
ernment they have been advised unofi-
cially that such tax was proposed. OF
course, they said they would pro-
test against such Q tax which,
owing to local conditions would bs
very heavy ono. on the principle that it
would tend to restriot trade. The opins
ion was expressed that II work we're ao-
lively resumed on the Panama canal. Ne
proposed, 1t would be absolutely neces-
sary to import supplies at any cost. But
unless this work were resumed 1t wae
very likely that the trade OF the country
would be killed.
The impression in the Office OF the
Panama Railway company was that CO.
lombia was using every means in its
power to increase its revenue in antici.
patton OF the resumption of work on the
canal. the development of internal re-
sources, such IS mins, etc., aud to have
increased resources % precautionary
measures in the event of possible
changes in the government. The pub.
lished statement that $50. 600 had been
appropriated for the transmission of
troops was regarded a. very significant
of the governments efforts toward pre-.
venting any possible trouble.
One proposition made not long ago
WAS to impose an export tax on bananas
but this plan was wisely given up a. it
would have killed the Industry which is
the principal one of the country. 1t goes
to show that efforts have been made to
increase the country's revenue.
At the Office OF the Panama Canal
company. Mr.. Boyard, who 10 the rep.
resentstive OF Panama Canal company
here knew nothing of the proposed tax
or the protest OF this country. He said,
however, that 1t was possible in event
of such tax being imposed that pro-
test would be issued from the Office OF
the new Panama company in Paris.
