What the Queens Speech TO Parliament VIII
Contain

LONDON, Aug. 14-In the house of
commons this morning the work of swear
ing in the mem bers of parliament was
continued. The queens speech. after the
customary assurance of peace with all the
powers, it is expected, will refer to the
termination of the war between China
and Japan. and the steps taken in regard
TO the mission ontrages. There will be
a strong allusion to Armenia and to the
reforms which the powers are pressing
upon the sultan, and also to the inclusion
of Bechuanal and in the Cape colony. 1t
will conclude with brief reference to the
estimates to be presented and to the fact
that parliamen. cannot be expected at
the present session to proceed with active
legislation.
The Times says John Redmond will
move an amendment to the address from
the throne, challenging the government
to declare its Irish policy.
John Clancy will move an amendment
in favor of amnesty to political prisoners.

TAYLOR GETS FIVE YEARS
The South Dakota DefauIting Treasurer
Sentenced
His Attorneys Claim That the Punishment
Was Excessive and VIII Seek
HIS Release

PIERRE. s. D.. August A.-Ths court
room was crowded today to hear the
judgment pronounced on W. W. Taylor,
defaulting ex state treasurer. When
asked If he had anything to say why sem
tence should not be pronounced on him.
Taylo in low voice replied that he had
not.
Judge Gaffney then reviewed the case
and the statutes bearing upon tho crime.
He considered the much discussed Sec
tion 1865 void, and did not believe two
years sentence was intended to cover
such case as this. He considered that
Taylor's worst crime was in atte mpting
to force a compromise after gathering to-
gether all the state funds he could lay his
bands on. A sentence of five years at
hard labor was then pronounced.
The attorneys foi W. W. Taylor are ju-
bilant in their belief that their client will
not even begin to serve out the five years
sentence imposed on him by Judge Gaff-
ney this morning. They will apply to
the supreme court for a writ Of habea1
corpus. Two years is the longest sem
tencc permssi BILE under the statute in.
yCked by the lower court.

fire bell rang and a crowd was at the
rounty Jail inside OF three minutes. bat
fering on the steel cage. For an hour and
half the blows Of hammers resounded
IN the still night air, and at l 80 Sam
Ninson and his son Charles, the murder
ers of Sunday, were led out by the mob
with ropes around their necks. The vic
sims were walked three blocks and q
small silver poplar, eight inches in diam
eter, chosen. Ropes were thrown over
the first limb ana father and son hauled
up by many willing hands. Tleir feet

: After the death OF Dutch John this
afternoon an uneasy feeling began to
manifest itself. and as evening came on
it grew intensely. AT $50. when the
streets are usually deserted knots of m man
could be seen all over town, and it was
apparent that trouble was coming. Sheriff
Stinson was very active and had extra
deputies on duty at the Jail. He had
arrangements made that the ringing of
the bell should be the signal that the
mob was under way. Promptly at II the
bell rang and almost simultaneously the
guards were overpowered and the outer
Jail door soon passed. The steel cage
was stubborn, but the mob was deter
mined. After the wretches were secured
they assumed dogged silence. The old
man never spoke. bat Charles pulled
back and struggled some. Both were
hustled along however, and several tele-
graph poles were tried without suiting
the leaders. When near the fatal tree
young Vinson spoke his only words, say
ing: 81 hate it on my mothers ac-
count. You'll be sorry for this" The
last words were uttered as the tightening
rope choked off his breath. The father
was strung up a moment before the son
and some one in the crowd said as
Charles was strung up: Your pa is up
there; 90 up and see him." Both men
were allowed to hang for some time. and
the crowd slowly dispersed without firing
any shots into the bodies. There were
ak other prisoners in the Jail. but none
was nj olested and nobody but the two
murderers was hurt during the proceed
ings.
Charles Vinson was the man who gave
away his comrades with whom he con-
spired to hold up Northern Pacific train

at Shelton claim that the woods should
be back fired in May and June to prevent
such devasrationg fires. but under the
present law back-firing is not allowed.
