The Proctors were up, as they had
been warned the day before of what
was to come. Bill Proctor swore that
he would not leave his cell alive and,
as he was a powerful man, and hard to
handle, one of the mob shot him with q
pistol. Immediately afterward a
charge sof bHckshot was fred at him,
and as he fell volley OF pistol shots
were fired. About thirty bullets en-
tered his body. After Proctor was

He has killed several men and has
been tried four times for his life, but
always escaped on trial and this fact
caused the mob to take the law in its
own hands in the present case. Dink

this was the first time he had been in

APPALLING SLAUGHTER.
Spanish Commander Did Not Heed
Maceo'S Threat-Nor- Com
batantS Suffer.

New York, Oct. ga dispatch to the
Herald from Key West, Fla, says:
"Well-informed passengers who arrived
from Havana last night confirm advices
that Maceo has crossed the trocha at
Artemisa and Joined other insurgent
forces in Havana province. They de-
clare that the report circulated by Maceo
of his encampment at Cacarajaracara
and contemplated attack on that town
was merely a feint of the rebel leader to
concentrate the Spanish troops at that
point.
Upon their arrival at Cacaraj aracara
the Spaniards found nothing but a de-
serted camp. Maceo's followers, under
forced marches made a detour to the
southwark, and suddenly appeared at
Artemisa, the central post on the line Of
the trocha.
THE insurgents chief sent word to the
commandment that he intended to bonn
bard the town, giving the inhabitants
five hours in which to leave the city.
Not needing Maceo's threats, the Span
iards would permit no one to leave.
Thirty shots from the rebel dyna-
mite gun were thrown into the city.
Svery building is said to have been lev
eled. while the slaughter of non-com-
batants was appalling. During the car
mage Maceo and his followers crossed
the line of the trocha into Havana prov
ince. where they joined the forces OF
Gen. Aguirre."

The Farmers Best Market.

In one of his speeches last week Mai.

stltuted large portion Of his audience
mat what they wanted SIS to have some
Dody want, and want badly, what YOU
produce on your FARMS" That is the
whole agricultural situation in a nut
she'll
The farmers want a market for their
wheat, their oats, their corn, their wool,
!nelr potatoes and their apples. Where
is the best market in the world? Right
mere IN our own country. No other Deo-
pie are so liberal in expenditures for do
mestlc purposes as the American people
When they have the money to spend. In

But when millions of American work

because their wages have been reduced

listening with approval to the voice that
mas sung to them from the platforms of
railway trains and public halls of higher.
Prices Tor their products as a result of

the blind lead the blind both will fall into

Edward Atkinson recently showed that
the cost to the farmers of the financial
depression in ten of the leading agricul-
tural states OF this country from 1892 to
1919 inclusive had been $3.50, 976, 444.
mat loss was very largely attributable
to the destruction of the American mar

market the farmers long for would be

Cleveland, O., Oct. 24-In a desperate
fight between six sailors early this morn
ing two men were seriously cut and one

over is not known, the men themselves
being all intoxicated at the time, were
unable to tell what precipitated the trou-
bic. Knives were used and blood
flowed freely.
While the fight was at its height, John
Kohler of Wisconsin threw up his hands
and fell to the sidewalk with deep cash
in his abdomen. At the same moment
Mike Mullen was stabbed in the arm.
Hohler and Mullen were taken to the
hospital, where the doctors say the form
er cannot recover. The remaining four
men who participated in the affair are

CHICAGO ELEVATOR BURNS.
Two of the Pacific Buildings, with
Contents, DestrOyed-Eire-
mems Escapes.

Chicago, Ill, Oct. 26.-The Pacific ele-
vatcr at Hines street and the north
branch of the Chicago river was burned
this afternoon. A large amount of grain
was stored in it. The flames threatened
the large mailing house of Hules &
CENTS adjoining, and ten extra fire en-
gines were called.
Both elevator a and elevator 3 of the
Pacific Elevator company were de-
stroyed, with other smaller buildings.
The loss will approximate S1,500,O00.
By l p. N. the fire had assumed such
dangerous proportions that a general
alarm was turned in It had by this
time spread to several small frame build
ings used as weighing Offices and these
We're soon destroyed.
Five firemen of company No. SO nearly
lost their lives while fighting the flames
from the roof of the office, a small brick
building in close proximity to one of the
elevators. Notwithstanding the fact
that the roof had caught fire and was
burning beneath th4m thcy stuck to
their post till suddenly the roof fell be-
meath them Two of the men were
close enough to the edge of the wall to
grab it and were left hanging there as
the roof fell in. The other three went
down but held onto the hose and were
rescued with great difficulty.
The Pacific elevator was composed of
three separate buildings each six stories
in height. Elevator A was the first to
go and then Elevator 3 caught fire
Burning timbers were carried by the
high wind and for q time it was thought
many of the buildings in the vicinity
were doomed. Long lines of freight
cars standing along the track were re-
moved as fast as possible.
Shortly after the fire broke out the
south wall of the elevator gave way and
thousands Of bushels of wheat fell into
the river.
Most of the grain was the property of
the Pacific Elevator company. The in
surance is said to be about S750,O00.

Queen Victoria, and for whom, so the
story runs, he Tilted the fair daughter of
Montenegro. However, he has done the
right thing by his former sweetheart by
giving her a dowry of nearly S1,0OO,O0O
and a wedding present Of a diamond
ornament purchased in France at cost
of 100000.
There is, of course, a political aspect
to the wedding, inasmuch as it brings
about a resumption of the friendly rela-
tons existing in olden tinea between
Italy and Montenegro. Now that this
principally has furnished a future Queen
to Italy, the Italians expect to regain
the connection and influence in the prin-
cipality which were broken off three
centuries ago.
