A MISSOURI MOB.
They Hang Two Men Till They Are
Too Weak to Stand.

Lamar, Mo-, Nov. l6.-Sheriff Liv-
ingstone and Marshal Rice went to
Boston. Mo-. last evening with a war
ran for w. L. Simpson and William
Kaderly. charging them with aiding
and hiring the parties who assaulted
Mrs. Jacob Resi- last Thursday even
ing.
On the way to this city the carriage
was stopped about six miles south by
a mob of about thirty masked and
armed men. The officers were dis
armed and taken to a nearby cornfeld
by a part Of the mob, while the others
blindfolded the prisoners and put a
rope around their necks and strung
them up to a tree. They were let down
and in a few seconds pulled up again.
This was repeated until the prison.
ers were too weak to stand, when they
were called on by the mob for a state
ment as to the crime and the parties
implicated. Kaderly admitted writing
Il lctlti " i1dilS NloHholdl, eliipiOyi h6
him to commit the crime for $25.
Simpson admitted paying the money
in gold to Monkstar. Officers and
prisoners were then put in the carriage
and ordered to drive to the county Jail,
which they did.
The prisoners today deny making a
confession.

ON TRIAL.
The Case is Causing a Sensation at
Cheyenne.

The trial of Charlie Ersweil. charged
with the murder of Daniel McCrimlisk
a private in the Eighth United States
infantry on June 18th last. was com
menced in the Laramie county district
court yesterday morning. The trial at
tracts great attention in hat communi-
ty, and even the routine work of select
ing a jury drew a large audience of
sightseers to the court room. Erswell
is represented in the case by Messrs.
J. w. Lacey and J. C. Baird; the prose-
cution by r. W. Breckons, county at
torney. and Messrs. Beard and Well
nitz.
After the jury had been secured. in
the afternoon. the history OF the affair
in which McCrimlIsk was killed by Frs
well was reviewed by the county attor-
ney. who stated that the prosecution
would show the defendant guilty of the
murder of McCrimlisk.
EX-Judge Lacey, for the defense said
that no statement would be made in
his clients behalf at this time. The
evidence for the prosecution COM
menced with the testimony of Private
Welsh of G company. He testified that
Erswell, while riding on his bicycle,
ran against one OF the party of ten SOL
diers. knocking him down. The SOL
der apologized and Erswell rode IN
but came back and picked a quarrel
with the crowd and then shot McCrim-
lisk. On cross-examination the witness
became somewhat mixed and contra
dicted several of his statements made
in the direct examination.

THE FIRE At ASPEN.
LITTLE IMPROVEMENT IN THE
TERRIBLE SITUATION IN
THE SMUGGLER.
OF Miners Have Been Driven
From the Works and Many Hair
Breath Escapes Have Been Report
ed-Gas is Spreading to Other
Mines-Fire Situation Unchanged.

Aspen, Colo, Nov. 16.-The situation
here grows hourly more alarming. and
unless the seat of the Smuggler fire is
believe that the entire district Will
have to be temporarily abandoned.
This morning every property on Snug
gler mountain had to be abandoned on
account of gas.
Some narrow escapes are r'pOrted
from the Cowenhoven tunnel. About
10 o'clock one Of the mules that hauls
the ore trains fell, just as it reached
the open air, overcome by gas. The
driver was found in an unconscious
condition in the bottom of the car.
Engineer Irwin, on the Park Regent,
was brought out insensible. and it is
said that several other men were found
by searching parties, wholly or par
TALLY unconscious. and brought out.
The exact number OF men driven out
this morning cannot be learned, but 1t
is estimated at from $50 to 200. This
makes a total of about 600 now thrown
out of work by the gas.
Between 40 and 50 miles of workings
have been abandoned on Smuggler
mountain. eight Of which are in the
Smuggler mine. The gas seems to be
penetrating through the seams in the
contact to the south and is plainly no.
ticeable in the Argentum-Juniata
workings. Last night 1t was thought
the bulkheads put in between the
burning mine and this property would
prevent this property from being affect
ed. but indications this morning are
that the gas cannot be stopped in this
manner. Some are inclined to the be-
lief that the gas in the Argentum-Juni-
alta is that which found its way into
the Mollie Gibson Sunday morning. be-
fore the bulkheads were put i'm. II
this is the correct theory no permanent
evil results will follow.
The Mollie Gibson people are doing
but little more than running their
pumps and watching the situation. The
gas does not seem to be penetrating
this property to any alarming degree,
and the hope is strengthening that it is
secure. The lead stope" of the Snug
gler, which is working through the
Smuggler tunnel, had to be abandoned
this morning after two trips with the
mule train. This virtually means the
closing down of the Smuggler mill
within a day or two.
Manager Hallett was seen as he
stepped from the Free Silver cage this
morning. He had just come up from
an examination OF the fire situation
He said that the men were making
most satisfactory progress toward
reaching the fire. but that water could
not be gotten on it before 4 or 5 O'Clock.

IMPORTANT LODGE DECISION.


Trenton. N. j., Nov. 16.-The court
of errors and appeals yesterday affirm
ed the supreme court in the case of the
Roxbury lodge. Independent Order of
Odd Fellows, against William Hooking.
When Hooking Joined the lodge the
sick benefits were 50 per week for an
indefinite period. Subsequently they
were changed to IS a week for rs weeks
and 81 a week thereafter. Hooking was
sick for a long time and sought to re-
cover 81 a week for that period. The
court decided in his favor and laid down
the principle that the benefits which
the lodges rules provided for al the
time of a member Joining were in the
nature Of a contract and could not be
changed without the members con-
sent.

Up in the Moody district Of Laramie

The Rainy Day Clubs Fad.

A lady who was present declares that
any one who attended the recent meet
Ing Of the Rainy Day club expecting to
see rainy day clothes was disappointed.
Rainy day clothes were there all right
enough but they were of the conven-
tional, trailing bedraggled sort long
familiar TO femininity. The curtailed
skirt and high boots were to be seen
upon not more than a dozen out Of the
80 or 80 women OF course the club is
rs yet in its infancy The members
haven't yet had time TO become convert
ed, much less to reform their wardrobes.
Boots seemed TO be the stumbling
block for most Of the women. Granted
that the skirt be made short, how should
the feet be shods Some were for leg
gings, others for bicycle boots, and still
others for specially designed affairs. A
leading light of Sorosis asserted that the
main reason for her not going into short
skirts was for fear the little boys would
boot at her. Many wCmen with fine in
genuousness declared that all that kept
them from donning the garb was their
big feet. JOSEPH RUSSELL.
