Kerlee, of Clearwater side, was in
Stuart last week on business con-
nected with their property inter-
ests at this place. Mr.. Kerlee in
formed us of his intention of
hauling material soon for building
purposes.
Geo. Brisco was our guest Thurs
day of last week.
Sam Hamill came down Friday
LAST to conduct the business of
Brown & Stephens during Mr..
Browns absence on business at
Denver and Cottonwood.
Joe Cox and Geo. Hempshaw
paid Grangeville visit on Satur-
day and Sunday Of last week.
Mr.. Hempshaw has been en-
ployed to clean up the streets of
Stuart, and already the result of
his labor can be seen, as he is do
ing the work in first-class man
ner.
Geo. Brown and Joe Cox con-
template opening up meat mar
ket soon.
The latest reports in town are
that the o. r. & N. boat will visit
us by the middle ofApril. If such
report was an assured fact, how
long then, do you suppose that
little bad road would stand in the
way of people coming here and
doing some improvement work up
on their property? Yes, methinks
it would be but short time until
our little town of Stuart would
reach the hundred mark in popu-
lation. Delay is dangerous in any
enterprise; hence when it is winter
time and the farming work is at
standstill, and with nothing much
to do, is good time for everyone
to be doing some improvement
work upon their lots. Unless we
all make an effort to have bust
ness center at this point, with the
many different kinds of business
enterprises in active operation and
population, there is but little en-
couragement for any navigation
line. The road to this point from
Camas prairie is in passable condi-
ton, there being but one place that
is anyway dangerous; that is, a
point in descending to the river at
the top of the hill, where it is
necessary to ruff-lock or tie tree
to the hind axle. leaning has
been going on most all the winter
on this road for Brown & Stephens
and Joe Cox, who are doing a sue
cessful business.
Chas. Nail is hauling hay down
and selling to the Indians.
Jas. Dowdy came down on Tues
day and will remain for few days
putting up wood.
Geo. Brisco arrived Tuesday
noon with a load of supplies for

On Saturday night it is stated Mr.. Alb

The moral to be drawn from the above
is that our people should be little more
chary, than they evidently are, in taking
strangers by the hand, il they are not,
the place will soon be overrun with peo-
pie Of Abdill's class; it is even possible
there are some still left, for some people

they are asked to pay their just debts
and all the time these same people are

.TWOMEN ARB LYNCHED
Another Chapter to the Winner
Murder in Missouri.
ANGRY FARMERS RAID THE JAIL.

James Nelson and Jesse Winner Taken
Out and Strung Up In Spite of Their Pit
eous Appeals for Mercy-Third Man I'm
der Suspicion Removed To Another jail
and Thereby Escaped the Avengers-A
| Courageous Tailor.
Lexington, Mo-, Dec. Sat about
| o'clock Monday morning mob or Ray
county farmers broke into the county
| Jail here, secured Jesse Winner and
James Nelson, held for the murder OF
Mrs. Winner and her two babies and
lynched them. The mob broke into the
Jail with little difficulty and speedily
accomplished their object of melting out
punishment to the alleged slayers.
The Jail was not heavily guarded. The
mob was composed of $50 men, all UNI
masked. So quietly did the lynchers
approach the Jail that no one connect
ed with it knew how the mob crossed
the river. They overpowered Jailer
James Goode and demanded the keys
to the cells of Nelson and Winner
Goode had hidden them, and when one
of the mob said to him: There is one
way to make you give them up" the
taller coolly replied: You can't make
a dead man give them up, so shoot me
If you want to-"
Mob Had Dynamite.
The leaders said they were prepared
with plenty of tools to effect an en-
trance, and displayed quantity of dy-
Mantle, sledges and chisels. Notwith-
standing, Jailer Goode remained firm.
and the mob went about to gain their
end in another way. The other prison.
ers were told not TO make any break for
their liberty, as they would be severely
dealt with If they did. Then the doors
were battered down and the prisoners
tied and led out.
The demolition Of the doors proved
but the work of a lew minutes. When
an entrance had been made two dozen
men rushed direct to the cells of the
two murderers, who cowed and skunk
into the corners of their meager quar-
ters, begging piteously for mercy. AS
he passed his cell Winner told one Of
the other prisoners that he was guilty.
The river was crossed about 2 o'clock |
and the men quickly dispatched.
Lackey's Narrow Escape.
Lon Lackey, who has also been In
ail here under a charge Of completely
n the murder, was taken to Richmond
which fact alone saved his
life. Several attempts were made to
ynch Winner and Lackey while they
we're In Jail at Richmond, which led to |
heir removal here for safekeeping.
Nelson had been arrested on the
strength of confession by Miss Mag
,ie Katron, who made a sworn state
nent that she, Winner. Lackey and |
Nelson committed the murder.
The crime for which Winner and |
Nelson were lynched was the brutal |
murder of Mrs. Winner, wife of one Of |
he lynched men,. and Of Clara Winner, |
ICED years. and Pearle Winner, a boy |
lged Is months. The Winners lived |
northeast of Richmond. On Oct. 26 |
Winner left home for day or so. and |
