LYNCH LEADERS
ARE WELL KNOWN
Fear Prevents a Prosecution of
the Men Who Took
Uber'S Life.
Douglas County Commissioners
VIII Consider the Offering of
Reward.
Special Dispatch to The CALL


CARSON, Dec. 1.-THE County Com
missioners OF Douglas County will hold
a special meeting on Monday, when the
question of offering a reward for the
lynchers of Uber will come up. The
citizens of Genoa 10 man favor the re-
ward, and the taxpayers generally are in
favor of legal steps being taken at no
matter what cost.
District Attorney Negal is classed as a
sympathizer with the lynchers and is
charged with exhibiting bullets taken
from the body of Uber, Showing them to
persons who should not know that he had
the evidence. One Ct the bullets is a
peculiar one in shape and can be traced to
The rifle that it came from.
The people of Garcnerville protest
against the charge that the mob came
from that place. They can account for
nearly every one in the little town, as the
leading citizens were attending an Old
Fellows meeting at Harris Hail until
nearly III idnight. They claim the mob
came from Millerville and vicinity, where
most OF the friends of Anderson lived.
Nearly all the ringleaders are known, but
no one cares TO take the responsibility o1
warning them.
Adam u ber, the victim of the lynohers,
formerly lived in West Point, Cal, and
word comes from there that instead of be-
ing regarded as a worthless character MS
record there was good.

Special pIsnntch to TIE CALI.

Special Dispatch to THE CALL
NEW YORK. Dec. LIT has been de-
termined by the District Attorney that
the bodies of the four wives of Zanolli
the barber, and those of his mother-in
law, an en- ploye, and his daughter be ex-
humed. While the police believe that
most, if not all, of the seven persons died
from poison, those in charge of the dis
interment will carefully examine the
bodies for any wounds or indications OF
of injury.
Permission to raise the body of Jennie
Sumner, wife No. T. was given in the
Supreme Court to-day. A noted chemist
has been engaged to make the analysis
and determine if poison was used to bring
about her death. If the presence of POI
son is proved in the case OF Mrs. Summer,
it is believed Zanolli will break down and
confess.
ZanolIi was taken TO court this morning G
and again was Iemanded to police head
quarters, where the young son of the bar
Der was taken TO him. The idea was that
at the sight of his child Zanol!i would
confess. He broke down and wept.

with one arm and waving the other, II

teachers who were present when this ac-
zion was taken is to be considered as a
criterion, there promises to sweep over
the county a wave of Indignation tha;
may bode trouble ior the members OF the
board in the future.
This action was taken incidental to the
rendering of a decision in the now cele-
Drated Suzzallo case of the Aviso dis
trict. At the session of the board a week
ago decision was deferred, owing to the
absence of full board. The three mem
bers then present-H. NJ. Bland, T. Z.
Brownell and L. ]. hipman-announced
that in their opinion the charges of I'M
professional conduct referred by Trustee
Hollister had not been proved by the evil
dence, and that they would not vote TO
revoke the certificate of Mr.. Suzz lllo
How well two OF these gentlemen kept
what was virtually an official promise is
shown in the adoption of the decision
submitted by the president OF the board,
II. NJ. Bland.
So at variance with the facts and the
evidence were some of the assertions con-
tanned in the declsion that SuzzaIio
who was present, confidently expecting
an honorable acquittal, took the floor and
charged thoS. who voted for the adoption
OF the decision with misstating facts, max
ing assumptions and with violating their
pledged official word In one instance
Suzzallo called attention TO the assertion
made in the decision that he had been re-
moved from Office, when in fact he had
simply failed of reelection. 1t was de-
MED by the mem bers who voted for the
decision that such a statement was made
but when he insisted that the particular
clause containing the false assertion be
read, it was found that it read: "The
school trustees deemed it wise
10 remove both teachers"
Suzzallo was one of the teachers re-
ferred to. Miss Cornelia Farley, one of
the mem bers of the board who subse-
Qrently voted for the decision at this
point, volun teered the information til at
this statement had got into the report by
mistake" How the mistake was over
looked in all the stages of the preparation
of the decision and its subsequent perusal
by all the members she failed to explain
and no one else volunteered The informa-
tion. President Bland admitted that he
had written the original draft of the docu-
ment and that he had also made the type
written copies of ii.
To none of the charges made by Suz-
zallo was there any attempt TO reply.
The de oision opens as follows:
The County Board of Education of the
county of Santa Clara, having fully heard the
matter OF the charges preferred by Miles Hot
lister against A. II. SuZZallo for non-profes
sional conduct a teacher, hereby renders
and files its decision therein
The board deems 1t advisable as a preface 70

conditions in the county of Santa Clara, and

MCCLELLAN.


VIM. Mcclellan, of Foreston, Died Here
Monday Morning.
VIM. Mcclellan, who was brought
to Princeton several weeks ago, gave
up his struggle for life at his mothers
residence last Monday morning. Mr..
Mcclellan had been in poor health for
about two years but until last winter
was not obliged to take his bed. For
the past three months he failed rapidly
and his death was not unlocked for.
William Mcclellan was born in
Maine A years ago last June and came
to Minnesota with his fathers family
81 years ago. The family first set
tied at Elk River where they resided
for several years. before coming to
Mile Laos county. Mr.. Mcclellan
lived in this section ever since he came
to Minnesota, with exception Of five OF
six years which he spent at Hancock,
where he was engaged in farming On
his return to this county he. became
interested in hardwood numbering and
followed this occupation until forced to
abandon it by failing health. He
leaves a wife and four children, the
eldest a girl of l6, to mourn his un-
timely death. p,
The funeral occurred yesterday af.
ternoon from his mothers residence,
the interment being made in Oak
Knoll cemetery.

come round, and similar losses occur
every year, and have been occurring
since the first settlement of State.
The loss sustained in this way by them
in one year would build a good many
miles of first class permanent road,
one that would be easy on wheels and
horse flesh and that could be kept in
perfect repair at a small annual outlay.
Of course the original cost of such a
road will vary widely with the topo-
graphy of the country it traverses, the
facilities for drainage, proximity of
stone, gravel, etc, for roadbed and
surfacing; but when once the route has
been properly graded and drained and
the road solidly built, the cost of keep
ing it in repair is comparatively small,
and the saving to the community in
dividually and collectively so great as
to easily overbalance the first COST

only eight days of the whole session
remain. but the interest in the work
does not wane. The enrolment con-
tlnlues to grow, having now reached
lO4 and the board of education
have discovered that the building is
too small to accommodate the seekers
after knowledge and if the summer
school is to be given to Princeton an
other year a larger assembly room
must be provided. They realize that
the school is a good thin for Mile
Laos county and the teachers may rest
assured that they will be acceptably
accommodated when they come again.
This week the following new names
have been added to the enrolment: EN-

of lumber on the site Tuesday morning
of last week and at 4:30 Saturday after
noon had succeeded in erecting a
building 24x40xlS. The building is
enclosed and shingled and the cornice
all in place. The labor was almost all
donated, several carpenters from this
village being among the laborers.
The work will now be abandoned until
after: the farmers finish haying and
harvesting, when the building will be
completed There is nearly enough
labor donated to finish the interior,
except the plastering and other mason
work. The projectors are succeeding
beyond their fOndest hopes.

County Pioneer.
Last Monday morning at $50 the
earthly life of Franklin Libby came to
an end after five years of suffering.
Five years ago Mr.. Libby had been to
Mile Laos Lake to visit a homestead
claim he had made there and was ap-
parently in the best of health On his
way home, however, he was taken
with a stroke of paralysis and since
that time has been helpless. Durin g
these years he suffered several repeti-
tions of these shocks but his strong
constitution refused to break until this
week when the end came. e.. :

Sept. 80, 1926, and was therefore in
his seYenty-6rst year. From 1852 to
1854 he was miner in the California
gold fields. He returned to Pittsfeld,
Me-, and engaged in farming until
1859 when he came to Minnesota and
located at Princeton where he has
since resided. He enjoyed the conf
dence of his fellow citizens and served
them ten years as one of the board Of
county commissioners and also for the
same length of time as a member oil
the village council, besides filling
several minor offices.
He had six children by his first wife
four of whom survive him, Lew S..

DROPPED DEAD.

A. G. Plummer Died of Heart Failure Last
Tuesday Evening.
Another Of Princeton's old settlers
has gone to his reward. A. G. Plum
mer has not been in good health for
several years and consequently when
pneumonia attacked him two weeks
ago he was not in condition to make a
hard fight against the ravages of the
disease. With careful. treatment,
however, he had begun to snow signs
OF recovery this week and when his
rheumatism began to trouble him
Tuesday evening he sought to relieve
it. by walking about the room. He
had been on his feet but few moments
when he felt his strength leaving him
and started for his bed but just as he
reached it he fell and Immediately OK
pired, death being caused by heart
failure brought on by the exercise.
Addison, G. Plummer was born in
1880 in Montgomery county, Virginia,
and was therefore 81 years of age. In
1852 he removed to Illinois and shortly
after enlisted in the Nineteenth Him
ois Infantry and served his country
till the close of the war. In 1868 he
came to Princeton where he resided
until mustered into the ranks of his
departed comrades.
He leaves a wife and three grown
children to mourn his sudden death.
The funeral services will be conducted
by Wallace T. Rines Post, G. A. r.,
of which he was a member and will
probably occur this afternoon.

The Tramps Getting Fresh and Need Lit
A tie Attention. .-.. 81, .s.....
/ l,sst Sunday four tramps called at
che resid of w. c. Baldwin, near
the brickyards, and asked for some
water. Mr.. Baldwin was gone and
Mrs. Baldwin attempted to serve them
with the beverage on the porch bat it
didn't come fast enough to- suit them
and they pushed their way into the
house and helped themselves. The
water was near the cupboard and the
intruders discovered cake and asked
for a piece of it. Mrs. Baldwin dared
not refuse and helped each to gener-
Gus slice but their cultivated tastes de-
manded something more and they be-
gan to set the table, ordering the now
thoroughly frightened woman to bring
out pie and some coffee. Mrs. Bald
win saw chance to escape and taking
her child fed and remained hidden I'M
til her husband returned. When they
entered the house they found that the
tramps, with their usual storage ca
pacities had made away with all the
food in the house. Princeton has not
been greatly bothered with hobos
since the hoop pole incident referred
to and it might be a good plan to re-
peat the treatment on the next Weary
