the cost. The two men agreed that the
cost OF an arch on Kearny or Montgomery
streets would be between $500 and $500. A
large arch on Market street would cost
from $500 to $1,000.
D. A. Code suggested that the lumber

the lumber necessary'for the arch and the
contractors both said that in that case $500
could be subtracted from their estimates.
Inc hgures mentioned were approximated

committee was taken regarding offering

1t was decided to invite sketches for the

OF the first week we put little Millicent up on

strengths did not agree with her, we tried
- milk until she was one month old.
Then she refused TO take any more of this
food and her weight had not increased at
all so we cha nged food again. We tried
COW s milk, condensed milk, and four or
1--WE food prepa rations but nothing agreed
with her as lactatcd food, and we went
back to that after each new trial At two
months old she had doubled her weight
upon lactated food. Being an eight
months baby she has always been very
delicate, and she Is still feeding upon your

gathered here to lynch four murdert rs

preparations made that the sheriff had no
| intimation of their coming. Small groups
from all over Siskiyou county began to ar
rive on the outskirts of the town about 9
o'clock, last night.
At O'Clock, the crowd having gathered.
they secured an old rail at the depot and
carried iJ to Court House square, placip q
it between two trees.

sham. By the time they returned they
realized the intention of the crowd The
chief of police went to the engine house to
ring the fire alarm bell, but found that
the ropes had been cut. He then went to
the jail, but the mob had already arrived
and in such numbers that the police were
powerless.
A number of men, all maske d, awakened
Under Sheriff Radford at the sheriff's Of
fee in the court house. and demanded the
keys of the Jail from him. He positively
refused to open the door or give up the
keys Finding that Radford was immov-
able, the mob went across to the Jail and
got on top of the stone wall which sur
rounds It,
Deputy Sheriff Brautlacht, who sleeps
in the jail, fired two shots TO alarm the
city marshal, thinking that some of the
prisoners We're trying to escape. He then
opened the doors and was Immediately
seized by the mob who entered the Jail
Having no keys to the cells, they were
compelled to smash tine locks with sledge-
hammers.
Lawrence H. johnson, who stabbed his
wife to death, July 2S was the first to
receive the attention of the lynchers.
They broke the lock from the door of his
cell and placed rope around his neck, led
him out of Jail and across the street to
where the iron rail- was laid between the
forks of two trees. johnson pleaded for
mercy but the silent gathering gave no
heed to his appeals. He was quickly
strung up. dying from strangulation.
The mob then returned to the Jail and
broke into the cell of Win. Null, who shot
Henry Hayton April 21. Null asked to
make statement but the mob refused to
listen and he was soon hanging beside
johnson.
Louis Moreno, who killed George Sears,
Aug. 5, was next taken out and hanged.
The last and youngest of tie four was
Garland Semler, aged 10, who killed Cas-
par Moierhaus, Aug. 5. The rope was
placed around his neck and in few
minutes he was swinging beside his COM
panions.
About this time Sheriff Hobbs arrived
on the scene, but was met by several Of
the mob who notified him that 1.-The Job
was finishe d." By this time the greater
part of the mob had disappeared, leaving
only few on guard
The bodies were taken down by Coroner
Schofeld and Marshal Parks, who removed
them in wagon to the engine house,
where they were laid side by side. The
coroner summoned Il jury to hold an in
