WASHINGTON, DC, Aug. ga cable
gram received at the Navy Department re-
ported the departure to-day of the gunboat
Concord from Chemulpo, Korea, for Che
foo, China. Her arrival will make three
United States vessels now at Chefoo,
the other two being the flagship Baltimore
and the gunboat Yorktown. Acting Sec
retary McAdoo of the Navy Department
told United Press reporter that he had
given no orders regarding the movements
of ships ON the Asiatic station, where
everything was now in the hands of Rear
Admiral Carpenter.
For that reason Mr.. McAdoo was unable
to confirm suspicion that this Govern
ment intended to make dem onstration
against China on account of the mis-
sionarY troubles.

QUADRUPLE LYNCH|NG WAS DONE At YREKA,

out, "Good-by, boys" as he passed the
cells of the other prisoners.
When the courthouse was reached Null
said:
81 had to fight to protect my property,
boys. Give me drop. I don't want to
be choked."
Some one replied, 'All right; let's get
a table,"
The leader-a big fellow over six feet
tall-replied, mo; we have no time,
Choking is good enough" And in mo-
ment Null was beside Johnson.
The Spaniard, Louis Moreno, came next.
He made no objection and did not speak.
The rope was thrown over the steel rail
and some one said:
do you want to say anything?"
NO." was the reply, and three men
were hanging side by side.
Garland Stemler was then taken from
his cell, all the time protesting his inno-
cence. At the scaffold he said:
'Some one tell my brother to tell my
mother that / die innocent of the charge"
There was nothing of the "blood-curd
ling, heart rendering scenes" reported
by parties not there. Eight men who
happened to be out late were picked up by
the guards and held prisoners by the mob,
all being silent witnesses to the hanging.
Bert Raynes, the District Attorney, was
one of them. Watching his opportunity,
he slipped away and ran downtown to
try and organize a crowd of 'loyal citi-
zens" to protect the prisoners. He found
one man who agreed to do his best and be
"1oval" for S10O an hour
Giving that up Raynes ran to the
SherIff's home, awakened the Sheriff
and accompanied him to the courthouse,

SHORT SHRIFT FOR EACH.
Taken From the Jail One al
a Time by Silent
Mob.
BRUTAL GRIMES AVENGED
Siskiyou County citizens Resolved
to Brook No Further Delay
in the Courts.

YREKA, CAL, Aug. 26.-Distrusting the
methods of the courts. with their tardy
Justice to murderers and the frequency of
no Justice at all. the citizens of Slskiyou
County took the law into their own hands
to-day and avenged four brutal crimes.
Between the hours of and 2 o'clock this
morning $50 men took from the Jail at this
place johnson, Stemler, Null and Moreno,
and. hanged them in the public square.
The mob carried out its prearranged pro-
gramme quietly but determinedly, and
then faded away as quickly as it had gath

cred, leaving four CHASTITY corpses swinging
in The breeze to evidence the success of its
mission.
The courthouse and Jail were surrounded
shortly after 1 O'Clock, and some one
knocked at the door of the Sheriff's Office
to awaken Deputy Sheriff Radford, who
sleeps there. Supposing it was some one
with prisoner Radford jumped from his
bed and demanded:
What do you want?"
a voice answered: 1--WE want to come in.
We want the jail keys"
Radford opened the door and was con-
fronted by half dozen masked men.
Immediately realizing the situation he
slammed the door in their faces and grab
bing his shotgun gave the mob notice that
he would shoot the first man who opened
or broke in the door.
A consultation was held by the masked
men and then another demand was made
for the keys. Again they were refused,
when the leader said
"Well, We don't want to damage county
property, but if he won't give up the keys
we will break in the jail door. We can
keep Radford a prisoner while we are
doing it."
An attack was made on the door of the
jailyard, but it was quickly given up and
the men scaled the stone wall.
Henry G. Brautlacht, deputy iailer, who
sleeps in the jail, was awakened by the
noise, and putting out his lantern eau
tiously opened the door to see what the
trouble was. He found himself looking
into the muzzIe of Winchester rife and
was comm anded to keep still and he would
not be hurt. Before he had recovered from
his surprise the keys were taken from him
and the jailyard door opened.
Thirty or forty-weu armed men noise
.lessly marched into the Jail and demanded
the keys of the steel tanks. Upon being
informed by the iailer that he did not have
them no time was lost, after leaving man
to guard the iailer, in breaking locks and
bars.
a big sledge and cold chisel were pro-
duced, and the door of Lawrence I'll. John
sons cell was opened. johnson stepped
quietly out and permitted his hands to be
tied and moose placed around his neck.
AL he said was:
"Boys, I'd like if you'd give me a fair
show"
=. Not word was spoken, and half the
crowd marched out with johnson as
quietly as they had entered. He was
taken to the courthouse yard, across the
street from the Jail, where steel rail se-
cured from the depot was placed about
eight feet from the ground in the forks of
two locust trees. The loose end of the rope
wasthrown over the rail and dozens of eager
hands grasped it, and in moment john
son had paid the penalty of his crime. The
rope was made fast to the locust tree, and
the still silent crowd marched back to the
Jail, leaving half-dozen guards with the
dangling body.
Null was then taken from his cell. He
was badly scared, and said:
Boys let me make statement"
For the. first time some one spoke. s.No
we have no time for statements was the
reply. Another said: 'Yes, let's hear
what he has to say"
Accepting the offer, Null said:
my mother was crazy and in an
asylum. am afflicted myself, and should
be in an asylum"
They refused TO listen to any more. and
be was hustled out OF the jail. He called

Dismal Failure of Brutal Men to Haze q

Third BuU Fight.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Aug. 26.-
The last of the much advertised and noto-
rious bull fights scheduled this afternoon
at Gillette failed to materialize. That the
large majority of the people do not ap-
prove of these barbaric exhibitions was
demonstrated by the extremely small
audience which was present to-day, only
200 people being in attendance. The
crowd yesterday was not enthusiastic, and
its sympathies seemed to be with the poor
brutes who seemed more anxious to escape
their gaudily dressed tormentors than to
fight. The disgusting details of these fght is,
as published, have caused such great re-
action in the moral sentiment of the COM
munity that it would be impossible to at
tract enough people to pay rentage for the
grounds.
Only one bull was driven into the arena

Tain Efforts Being Made for the Libera-
tio1s of Taylor.

tio,s of Taylor.
PIERRE, S. D., Aug. 26.-This after
noon the Attorney General continued his
arguments in the Taylor case by citations
from Justice Jackson. Attorney Stewart
for the defense, contended that the sem
tence must stand or fall as a whole, and
that the court could not modify it. He
declared the State to be neither a public
or private corporation, but a body polite,
and that no statute existed providing PEN
atty for embezzlement from the body poll
tic. He cited number of cases to show that
the court must release the prisoner on the
error of the lower court, and that no
division of sentence was possible. After a
short closing speech by the Attorney Gen.
eral the case went to the court, which ad-
journed to 10 o'clock tomorrow. The pre-
vailing opinion is that Taylor will not be
released, but that the sentence of the lower
court will stand.

BOSTON, MASS, Aug. 26-The busiest
place in Boston is the headquarters of the
Triennial Conclave committee of Knights
Templar. Early in the morning the chief
of each subcommittee was at his desk
ready for the business of the day. The
scene was decidedly suggestive of the head
quarters of the commander in-chief of an
army that after weeks of preparation was
about to be led into battle. Aids hurried
in and out with reports and orders, keep
ing the heads of departments continually
on the qui vive and the Knights, clad in
the picturesque regalia of the order, lent
the martial touch necessary to complete
the scene.
To the reception committee has fallen
the brunt of the battle. Under their direc-
ton the streets are filled with marching
men. At the railway station detachments
from Boston, De Molay, st. Omar, De
Payens, Joseph Warren and the other
Boston commanderies are receiving the
invading TempIars and marching them off
to their various headquarters.

few decorated banderhlos and then driven

so discouraging the promoters that they
threw up the sponge. Tonight all the
hackers and lighters are under arrest.
