Nebraskans Who Lynched Bar

Thieves.
In One Case, However, They Seemed
to Have Tortured an Innocent
Man.

O'NEILL. NEBR., Feb. 1.-THE Holt
County .vigilantes, the same band which
year ago lynched Barrett Scott, are very
active again. Lately they have turned
their attention to alleged cattle-thieves.
Joseph Ryan, reputable young stock
man, is the latest to feel the weight of
their displeasure.
Ryan was in O'Neill to-day and tells
thrilling story of an experience he had
Yesterday. He had been in the vicinity of
Nobrara River to look at some cattle for
sale by man named Bllger. He and Bill
ger were out on the prairie when suddenly
six masked men rode up and drawing six
shooters commanded the two to surrender.
Ryan continued:
1--WE were taken from our horses and
blindfolded My hands were then tied
behind my back and one of the men told
another to bring long rope. The rope
was brought and placed around my neck,
They then asked me what / knew about
attle-rustling. l told them I knew moth
ing but what had heard They said that
would not do; they would have to take
me to the river and put me under the ice.
They did not seem to want to talk much,
but wanted me TO do it all.
s'They asked me about good many cat

knew. While talking they continually
threw out hints to make it appear that I

Prisoner.
SHOTS FIRED IN THE AIR.
Before Being Hanged From a Tree
the Doomed Man Declared He
Was Innocent.

SULLIVAN, ILL.,, Feb. 12-Grant At
terbury, the murderer, was taken from the
jail here at 12:45 A. NJ, dragged to the
courthouse in his nightshirt and hanged
to q tree.
The preliminaries to the affair were ar
ranged at 1880 O'Clock. The mob at that
time numbered but fifteen men. Thev
were fully armed and carried sedge-h ham

and none thought Atterbury would be
lynched.
The mob acted quickly and marched
directly from the school house to the Jail.
which was only protected by the sheriff
and one lone deputy. Here the demand
for Atterbury was refused and then the
door was Knocked down and in with sledge
hammers. The sheriff feigned resistance,
apparently, and fired his pistol in the air.
In the meantime crowds of people be-
gan gathering about the Jail, but no at
tempt was made to help the sheriff. After
the sheriff fired his revolver the mob
opened fire. Amid shots and yells they
marched upstairs, leaving few to keep
back the crowd.
But two minutes were consumed in
breaking down the iron door. Atterbury
was dragged from his cell amid the howls
of the other prisoners in the jail, who
where badly frightened.
The prisoner resisted with all his
strength and much trouble was experienced
in getting him downstairs. He fought
like demon, but when he was finally got
out the excitement of the mob was
furious.
The march was then taken up to the
courthouse yard, two blocks away. Amid
a perfect fusillade of pistol shots the mob
seemed almost frenzied and showed no
sympathy.
Under the tree to which he was hanged
Atterbury began to realize more fully that
he was to die. He pleaded piteously pro-
testing his innocence, saying, "Thank
God, you are hanging an innocent man
The mob was wild and restless until the
man was strung up in the mir, when they
instantly dispersed The gang was well
organized and masked with white hand

were ali heavily armed.

STOCKHOLDERS NOT LIABLE.
An Interesting Decision Relating to the
Purchase of a Los Angeles Gable

CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. u.-Judge Horton
decided to-day that the stockholders of the
Pacific Railway Company are not indi-
yidually liable for the debts of the COM
pany. amounting to about 100000.
The suit grew out of the purchase in
1S90by some sixty business men and cap
italists of Chicago of the stock of the Los
Angeles (Cal.) Cable Railway Company,
and the formation of new corporation
under the laws of Illinois to own and op-
crate the road under the name of the Pa
cific Railway Company The investment
was not paying one, and the road was
sold under foreclosure proceedings, which
practically wiped out the assets OF the
company; but bill was filed by num-
ber of creditors, principally banks. asking
that the stockholders be held liable for the
debts of the company. The claims, with
one exception, were for money loaned on
notes of the company.

NO WEAK POINTS OVERLOOKED
There Is a Promise of a Desperate
Battle to Retain the Southern

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 1.-THE in
creased crowd in the lobbies and galleries
to-day denoted 8 returning interest in the
balloting for Senator. Rollcall showed
122 present and 16 paired; necessary to
choice, 62.
Considerable surprise was occasioned
when r. A. Carpenter Or. } voted for Judge
Frank Bennett of Greenup. This break
was followed by the reading of a long ex-
PLANTATION from Senator Hissem (R.) of
Campbell, in which he said he believed
the election Of Hunter was impossible.
The vote resulted: Hunter, 81; Blackburn,
56; scattering, 8; no election.
The widest excitement prevailed during
the break in the Hunter lines. 1t is taken
as an indication that sooner or later the
Republican caucus will withdraw Hunter
and put up some other candidate.
Senator Thomas Hays, who is leading
the opposition to the Southern Pacific
repeal bill, said to THE CALL correspondent
this evening, after words of fcommendation
for Huntington in the railroad projects, in
which he claimed Huntington had never
been '.wrecker'' for personal gain, as

several other LOBBYISTS against the bill

Senator Goebel and friends of the bill will
call the measure up from the orders of the
day at the first opportunity and compel
speedy action in the Senate. Letters have

TO PHOTOGRAPH THE BRAIN.
Ediso. viii attempt tho York AHer
Miduight.

ORANGE, N. j., Feb. 11.-Thomas A.
Edison said to-day that he is not yet ready
for his attempt to photograph the human
brain. He has decided that when every
thing is in readiness the experiment will
be made after midnight, when no one will
be around but his workmen, as the pres
ence of others would tend to make the
subject nervous.
To-day Mr.. Edison tested the theory of
Thompson. an English scientist, that
rays are really sound rays or waves. He
took steel funnel few. inches long and
placed it IN front of a powerful vacuum
tube, the small end opposite the plate,
and the test was partially successful. He
got clearly defined spot with a penum-
bra above it and another below it, which
showed that the rays had not been
detected. He says that he is puzzled to
explain this.
Mr.. Edison has made interesting expert
ments on thirty different substances and
the results show perfect penetration Of
hard and soft rubber. celluloid. gelatine,
shellac, boric acid, amber. camphor and
blood albumen, vulcanized fiber and gutta-
percha: the penetration of slate, iron
and bismuth was trifing. He also found
that antimony, iron brass, tin. lead, plati-
mum and copper showed very faint action
and that silver seemed absolutely impervi.
Gus. Mr.. Edison's next experim ent will
be that of photographing in the ordinary
way the human hand.
