Mississippi Negro Rapist Horribly

Of Awful Crimes.

MEMPHIS, Oct. 16.-Jeffereon Ellis,
the Fayette county rapst, was strung to
a telegraph pole this morning by 3oO
men. Before hanging the negro the mob
cut off both of his ears and all his
fingers and mutilated him horribly. 1t
was fully 80 minutes after the torture
began when rope was put around the
negro's neck and he was taken to a tele-
graph pole, IS feet away. The free end
of the rope was taken by man who
climbed the pole and threw 1t over the
cross arm. The crowd jerked the negro
to the fco of the pole and while the
crowd shouted the bleeding and mutt
lated form was swung to the cross arm.
The negro was lowered to the ground
later and his head cut from his body
with pocket knives The moose was then
put over his feet and the headlees trunk
again swung up. 1t is intended to send
the head to the family of the little girI

pared state paper, in which he dis
agreed entirely with the conclusion OF
the Spanish minister.
1.-The action of the latter was based
upon the consular treaty existing be-
tween Spain and the United States.
From this treaty, signed in 1893, consul
lar officers did not receive any authority
to cover diplomatic questions. The
treaty, however, specifies that United
States consular officers shall have all
the rights and privileges Of "the most
favored nations"
"This affords the basis for Secretary
Olney's demand. The German govern
ment has consular treaty with Spain
in which consuls and the consul general
may act as diplomats it circumstances
demand.
Secretary Olney informs Senior Cano
vas that the United States demands that
his government concede the same priv
ileges to the United States consul gen
eral that are given to the consul genera
Of Germany.
THE language of Secretary Olney't
dispatch is said to be aremptory. Shoulc
au American CITY be arrested at Ha
vana and eubjeL cd TO trial by court
martial or should any case arise that
calls for prompt action by the consu
general the refusal of the local govern
ment to recognize him might lead te

CAD0TTE WILL NOT DIE 7ODA||
Must Be Resentenced BY Judge Du.
Bose if Judgment Is Affirmed
on Appeal.
Condemned Man VIII Probably Hea,
the Robins Sing Again-No
Reprieve Necessary.

Contradictory reports concerning
whether or not Joe Cadotte would ba
hanged at Fort Benton today for tbe
murder of Oliver Richards last .JuIy
were received in Great Falls YESTERDAY
Late in the afternoon report caroe
from Helena that Governor Richards
had refused to reprieve Cadottc aud that
the condemned man must hang today,
Several citizens of Great Fails Who
had received invitations prepared tOI
leave this morning for Fort Benton.
But at Il late hour Sheriff McJaugb
lin telegraphed, in response toan uquiw
that Cadotte would not hang to-day.
1t appears that when prisoner Who'll
is sentenced to death appeals, he or hs
attorney notifies the sheriff that An an,
peal has been taken. The sheriff then
postpones the execution until The su
preme court certifes its decision to the
district court.
IL the supreme court atfirms the judg
ment of the lower court, the defendant
is resentenced by the district C0UtI
which fixes the date of the executionI
This was the procedure in Calotte.I
case, and no reprieve by the goyeraa|
was necessary, as many suppose
The appeal will probably not be heard
in the supreme court until the Jaruaq
term The transcript has not !Dl bea,
certified and Judge DuBose is in }nl

MORE ABOUT GOLD At NE|HART
IL Is Difficult TO Tell From the Nei-
hart Miner How Rich
the Find
Has Proved to Be--FeW Assays Quot
ed Are at Variance With
Others.

Yesterdays Neihart Miner contains an
account of the recent discovery OF gold
near Neihart, which is somewhat at vari
auce with reports heretofore published.
Experienced mining men in Great
Falls, who are we'll acquainted with the
Nehart district, when shown the article
by d TRIBUNE reporter. stated that in
their opinion the article concealed the
truth, in evident hope that there would
not be a general stampede to what is IA
rich gold district.
The most reliable business men Of
Nrihart stated to The TRIBUNE that the
assays were much higher than the
Miner states. ! is also noticeable that
the Miner does not give the results of
the original assays, but selects assays
from small, undcycuped claims. In
addition TO this, the fact is that news
paper men Of Neihart, when the discOv-
cry was made, sent out to papers
throughout Montana dispatches con
tanning news Of wonderful richness in
gold.
The Miner says:
"lne original discovery was made by
Mesers. Jas. Gam and Jay Ii&zeltine,
who had been prospecting IN the local
ity. and they, together with VIM. Bonner,
who was interested with them, made The
first location on the 8th inst Assays
were taken which showed every iDdica-
tiona Of their having a big thing, When
they had secured what claims they
wanted the information was spread
abroad, and soon the wild rush com
menced.

c0very WAS made has been named the
