THREE INDIANS ARE LYNCHED
MOB TAKES THEM FROM JAIL,
Had Been Sentenced to Death for
the Murder Of n Family Of SIX
PcOple-New Trial Had Just Been
GRANTED.

Bismarck, n. d., Nov. I5.-Alex Cou-
dot, Indian half-breed; Paul Holytrack
and Philip Ireland, full blooded Indians.
the first OF whom was sentenced to death
for the murder Of six members If the
Spicer family last February. and had Just
been granted a new trial by the supreme
court, and the latter two self.confessed
accessories in the murder, were taken
from the county Jail in Emmons county
Saturday night and lynched by mob.
The lynching had apparently been coolly
planned, and was carried out without a
break. Sudden and swift retribution was
meted out. Williamsport, where the hang
ing took place. is about 40 miles from this
city, and off the railroad. The men had
been under the custody of Deputy Sher-
i'll Tom Kelly. They were taken from him
by the mob and hanged to beef wind
lass several yards from the Jail. Their
bodies were left hanging during the entire
day, the coroner not having arrived, and
no one else volunteering to cut them
down.
Forty Men Did the Work.
About Az men were concerned in the
lynching. They rode into Willinmsport
on horseback late at night and tethered
their horses a short distance from the
city. that they might secure them as
speedily rs necessary after the deed was
done The Jail is substantial structure.
and was in charge Of Deputy Sheriff
Thomas Kelly. Since the confinement OF
the prisoners there, 50 great has been the
fear that they might escape in some way,
that one man has watched the prisoners
all night Saturday night Kelly was on
watch. There was meeting Of the lodge
of Woodmen in building near the Jail
and as Kelly was II member, he expected
to meet some Of the members Of the lodge
after the meeting had adjourned. To
while away the time during the night
hours he was playing solitaire in front
of the cells in which the murderers were
confined. About 2 o'clock in the morn
ing there was n rap at the outer door
of the Jail, and Kelly arose quickly and
turned the key in the lock, thinking that
the persons he expected to meet had ar.
rived. No sooner had he opened the door
than the mob crowded into the corridors.
All Of them were masked, and the lead.
ers carried ropes. Kelly at once realized
what the mob had come after. The
lynchers were quiet but determined. The
leaders presented a revolver ut the head
of the deputy sheriff and told him they
wanted his prisoners. and demanded that
he open the cells. Kelly demurred. but
saw that resistance was useless, and un.

The prisoners were confined together.
They had been aroused from their sleep
by the entrance of the would be lynchers
and sat up half awake, and trembling
with terror. Holytrack and Ireland were
pulled from their beds, ropes fastened
about their necks and they were dragged
out on the ground. The men were then
dragged to "A huge beef windlass, which
had been erected to suspend the carcasses
of slaughtered becves, and strung up on
cross beam. Coudot was the first man
to be hanged. 1t is reported that he was
asked before he was hanged whether
Black Hawk and Defender had also been,
concerned in the murder for which he
was about to be hanged. He answered in
the affirmative. The rope, which had been
fastened about his neck, was then thrown
over crossbeam, and he was slspened
in midair. Holytmck and ireland were
so nearly unconscious from the effects OF
the dragging that they did not realize
what was about to happen when the
ropes about their necks were tossed over

A terrific storm swept over the Ar

the other day. The wind blew at the
rate of forty miles an hour. The great
valley, which averages ten miles wide,
is in a bed of sand, and passengers
who arrived on the trains from that
section tonight say people were driven
to their homes for protection against a
cloud of dust and sand which no hu-
man being could face.
Many farmers will have to replant
their corn. The storm was so violent
that corn planted two inches under

Says the Atlanta Journal: 'Texas
has furnished large share of the
lynchings in this country for ten
years past. An attempt to institute
reform is seen in the Gati-lynching
law passed by the Texas legislature at
its recent session. 1t makes ali par-
ticipants in mob which for any rea.
son whatsoever inficts death upon
any person guilty of murder in the
first degree. Texas, like all other
States, had law against lynching be-
fore this act passed, and in the eye of
the law all participants in lynchings
are guilty of murder 1t was thought,
however, that the enactment Of a spe.
cidc statute against lynching would
have a salutary effect Governor Gull
berson took this view, aad in a special
message to the legislature urged the
passage Of just such law as has been
enacted. The press of the State has
very generally commended the action
of the legislature, bnt itromains to be
seen if the new law will have ary
effect, In nearly every instance where
n lynching occurs the community has
been shocked by some hideous crime
and is in sympathy with the mob.
Under such circumstances it is impos-
sible to convict anybody connected
with the lynching, The Texas law is
an official condemnation Of mob vio-
lence, but twill not change the nature
of men or make them less easily driven
to frenzy by the perpetration of those
crimes which are so frequently visited
with vengeance at the hands Of q

Part Of the surplus revenue, whicl,
Great Britain is happy in having this

postal and telegraph services. Itseems
that there are about 1G, 900, 600 Of let
ters annually which the Government
does not attempt to deliver into the
hands Of the persons to whom they are
directed. These letters are directed
to persons living in the sparsely popu-
lated districts and are left 10y the Oil
cials at some central point where the
c@ners can call and get them. This is
to be remedied, and direct delivery of
Ietters to every house in the kingdom
is to be made. Greater scope is to be
given in the matter of parcels, and the
charges on delivery Of telegraphs out
side the set limits are to be materially
reduced.

The following letter explains itself
and also gives the cause of the unfor-
tunate results. Whenever lime is rec.
commended for the use of chickens, o,
for scattering over the floor of the hen
house to destroy lice, or over the
ground in the yard, where young
chickens range i'll the spring, to de-
stroy the cape worm, Stacked lime is
always meant to be used. Unslacked
lime, in contact with any moisture,
easily slacks, and IN the operation
greatly increases in bulk and produces
large amount Of heat. If in contact
with small amount of water, heat
enough is quickly produced to burn
any animals flesh, and this is what
happened to the hens which ate the
unslacked lima and the increase in
bulk choked them. 1t is a wonder
that more were not killed. Unslacked
lime often produces heat enough in
Stacking to ignite any easily combusti-
BILE material with which it is in con-
tact.
Care should, therefore, be taken in
storing it in a dry place where it is
not in contact with anything easily
burnt. 1t will slowly slack when for
time exposed to the air.
This is air Stacked lime, and is now
cool and harmless. Chickens can dust
with this and eat it without harm.

The books are not chosen at random
or promiscuously, but each seasons
purchases are confined to some one

Value of Coal Ashes.

Some years ago, says writer in the
National Stockman, l spread number
OF loads of coal ashes thickly on part
of low, wet piece of land In the
winter this land was plowed for corn,
the ashes turned under, with the re-
suit of marked difference in yield
where the ashes were Next year the
same field was put in corn, an addi-
tional lot being covered with coal
ashes, and the same marked difference
was noted on the two plots. After the
second crop the bottom was sown to
wheat and grass, and while it cannot
be said that any difference was noticed
in the yield of these, after the land
had been in grass three years it was
again plowed and put in corn, and the
ash-treated places could be noticed in
the yield. Before the ashes were ap-
piled the soil was heavy and soggy;
but the following summer, in tending
the crop, marked difference was
noticed in its condition. There is no
doubt that in this atitude-southern
Ohio-coal ashes are beneficial on wet
or clayey lands. There may not be
much fertilizing property in them, but
they are an excellent neutralizer and
loosener of heavy soil.-New York In

Feeding Cows.

The Wisconsin Experiment Station
is authority for the following:
l. That it seems clear that the
quantity of milk given by a COW is
quite easily influenced by the amount
and kinds of food used in the ration.
2. That although there are few
notable exceptions, the weight of the
evidence seems to warrant the state
ment that the individuality of the COW
is the main factor in determining the
composition of the milk, while the food
has very little, or at least, very un-
certain effect upon it,
3. That the effect of the food on the
churnability of the cream is unimpor-
tant.
4. That certain foods impart to the
milk and its products peculiar favors,
although it is uncertain how far skill
in feeding may avoid these favors.
8. That the hardness and color of
the butter are varied by certain
changes in the food.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.


Manure made in summer wastes
much faster than it does in winter.
The warm weather hastens its decom.
position. But it is easy to prevent
serious loss by keeping the excrement
piled and so covered with earth that
no ammonia can escape. Where cows
are allowed to lie in the barnyard DUR
ing the night, much of their liquid ex-
crement is wasted. All such wastes
detract from tss profit of dairying,
when as milk and butter prices now
are, the most must be made of every
thing to keep the balance on the side
of profit.

For years we tried in vain to check

lows by the use of various vegetable
products, such as corn soaked in pois-

writes H. E. Tweed. We met little
success and now it develops that the
mole is not a vegetarian but feeds
nearly altogether ON insects, such as
grubs, earthworms, etc. This conclu-
sion was reached by the examination
of the stomachs of number of speci-
mems. Hereafter we will procure in
sects of various kinds and after soak
ing them in solution of water and
arsenic will drop them in roads where
it is hoped that our moleship will find
