R'%s %sfafH WERE LYNCHED.
2.luueS0ta People Take the Law Into
Their Own Hands.
Two Murderers, Who Got on in
Court With a Verdict Of Guilty in
the Second Dagree, Taken From
Jail by a MOI and Summarily
Strung Up.

Glencoe, Mimi, September e.-The
trial Of the first of the two men charged
with the murder of Sheriff Joseph Rog-
ers. resulted yesterday in verdict of
murder in the second degree, which did
not please some Of The people Of this
county, and double lynching bee re-
suited early this morning. The TWO
men lynched were Darman MusgraYe
and H. A. Cringmars.
On June % they had assaulted a f2r-
mer. and Sheriff Rogers and deputies
went after them with 4 warrant the iol-
lowing day. They resisted arrest, and
during the alteration the Sheriff w2s
SHOT AND KILLED,
although they made no offer 10 harm
the deputies. The men were strangers
in the county and the Sheriff was pop
ular. They were captured without dill
ficulty. Lynching was threatened, and
on the 25th Of June Governor Cough
sent Co. D, of St. Paul, here to protect
the prisoners. Escorted by the militia,
they were taken to st. Pau and paced
in the Ramsey county Jail, when they
were brought here for trial.
Between twelve and one o'clock last
night d mob OF masked meG appeared
quietly at the Jail door and raped for
admission. Jailor Edward Waddel
opened the door to see who was there
and a demand was at once made for the
KEYS TO THE JAIL
On his refusal he was tied in his chair
and the men proceeded to batter down
the doors with a s.edge hammer After
breaking the locks of the cells they
made the prisoners dress. II spite OF
their p.tiful requests TO be allowed 10
speak, the two men were gagged and
hustled away. The mob took them to
the bridge over Buffalo creek, on the
road leading to the scene of the murder,
and placing them in the same relative
positions as when they committed The
murder, they swung them over the edge
of the bridge. The drop of 10 feet
broke both their necks.
Jailor Waddell and Guard Hops
were so much excited over their exper-
ience that they could give little descrip-
ton of the mob, ali wearing black
masks.
An inquest will be he'd over the re-
mains and an attempt be made TO locate
the mob.

will be inferred Tuesday, with services
by various secret orders. This calamity
is q greater shock TO the twin cities

Soon after the discovery of the fire
flames broke through the roof and illum
ined tho sky and streets with a lurid glare
that served to make vivid the general
scene of confusion and excitement. AS
soon as the flames broke through the win
dows and walls and let in the draft the
burning block was
KNOWN TO BE DOOMED.
1t soon became a fiery furnace. The fall
Ing walls proved TO be not only a death
trap for the fire fighters. but dangerous to
every one who was trying to help stay the
progress of the flames or assist in saving
goods The first to 90 down was the top
part of the alley wall, which buried in its
crushing descent with tons of debris iif-
teen men. This terrible sight was witness
ed by hundreds of horror stricken specta-
tors. who stood helplessly looking at the
heartrending catastrophe and many Of
whom rushed in regardless of fire and
smoke to help the shrieking and struggling
men. Just before the wall fell the firemen
were trying to raise ladders and had them
placed against the building when the wall
tumbled, sweeping everything before ii.
One could see
PORTIONS OF HUMAN BODIES
through the fallen bricl.s. Parties going
in to save the imprisoned men were over
come by the heat.
The injured and dead were taken from
the ruins as fast as possible and at
o'clock the last man had been removed.
The dead were removed to the City Hall
to be Identified. Many were the heart
rending scenes as wives. parents and chill
dren scanned the distorted and mutilated
remains of those laying cold in death
upon the floor The physicians of this city
were unable to care for the injured and
