LA CROSSE, Wis, June 2s-The wild.
est mob seen in La Crosse in some years
gathered in the northern part of the city
last night to denounce the police for kill
ing man, as alleged. They talked
themselves crazy and began to yell for
the blood of policemen. When Chief
Byrn0- arrived they would not listen to
him, and it was half an hour before he
could get them quieted. Even then they
kept demanding the murdered mans
body. The police are puzzled. There is
no murdered man and no foundation for
the story, except that about four days
ago two tramp butchers We're ordered out
Of town, and one OF them resisting he was
tapped with n billy, but no. even knocked
down. 4 committee was appointed and
last night notified the chief of police that
he must produce that man alive or dead
today.

Cleveland. He was one of the leaders CT
the fight made there for declaration in
favor of silver. He takes exception to
some of the reports sent out from the
convention as to the effect of the course
pursued with reference to the silver ques-
tion and in discussing the matter said:
1T is very amusing to read some OF the
press reports OF the convention. Take
for instance the representation that the
silver men were in favo: of the Address
to the People, of which so much has been
said, and that the gold men were opposed
to 1t. In this representation it is claimed
that the gold advocates insisted on a dec.
claration regarding the currency question
If the league should pronounce upon any
subject and that the silver men did not
want any declaration regarding the cur
rency.
Every one who was Mt Cleveland
knows that this is an utter pcrversion OF
the facts. The silver men met before the
committee on resolutions was appointed
and instructed Colonel Trumbo, of Utah,
to offer straight silver resolution and
agreed unanimously that they would dc.
mand plain and unequivocal definition
from the convention as to its position on
the question should not be ignored. In
accordance with these instructions COL
Onel Trumbo presented a free silver reso-
luton in the convention. The silver men
wanted and insisted on a declaration in
regard to silver, and took the position in
the beginning and maintained it to the
end that the convention should take a
position either for against silver.
''The opponents Of silver finally agreed
to compromise by utterly ignoring every
thing which looked like politics and by
declaring that under tho constitution of
the league they were dcbarrei from CIV
ing expression to any views. The silver
men made no objection to this course, rs
they were entirely willing to leave the
matter open until the meeting of the ma.
tional convention, where of course the
issue must be squarely met.
There were strong free silver men in al
most every delegation present, and the
silver men generally were well pleased
With the manifest growth of sentiment
for the res tor alton of silver shown by the
number Of silver advocates who were
iherc as delegates from every section OF
the country"

He Raises Everything.

On the large estate of Mrs. E.
Brown, adjoining Gearvis, says the
Statesman, real diversified farming
exists. The management of the i'm
mense farm falls upon Sam II. Brown,
young man who has only recently
passed his minority. Here they keep
ten to twelve men constantly en-
ployed, and many horses, and every
farm product is raised and sold at a
profit. During the past summer he
has manufactured many hundreds of
pounds of cheese. just now they are
bailing straw and shipping it to the
paper mills. 1t does not pay much
but it keeps the many hands employed
and saves the burning of the straw.
They will bale up several hundred
tons of hay for market. They have
also large fields of potatoes. In the
garden there are loads of Hubbard
squashes, pumpkins, beets, carrots
and cabbages, all of which will be
utilized for market or the farm.
Nothing goes to waste, but is turned
into money by either selling or feed
ing. In the orchard plums and prunes
are numerous and having no dryer
they are dried on shares by neigh
bor. This is diversified farming in
the strict sense of the word, and is
good example set by yonng man for
older heads to follow. Sam II. Brown
is the youngest son of the late Samuel
Brown who was long and favorably
known as a French Prairie pioneer
and owner of the townsite of Gervais.

ing account of the accident:
"The death of Archie Huston, as
mentioned in the Eight Mile items in
this issue, occurred over at his fathers
Gillian county farm near Condor last
Friday week ago, and was the result
of very serious accident which he
met with the previous Monday.
While riding over the pasture trying
to catch horse, the animal which he
was riding was attacked by stallion,
when both horses fell on him, badly
crushing his body. Archie was not
conscious from the time of the acci-
dent till the hour of his death, 10 A.
NJ. Friday. The remains were taken
to his home at Eight Mile the follow
ing day and were inferred Sunday,
September 9, at the Odd Fellows Gem

bright young man, II years OF age.
and well liked by all who knew him.
