Adam Uher Forcih|y Taken From the Genoa
Jail and Lynched.
Dragged Through the Streets in an
Almost Nude Condition to
Place Half a Mile Distant From
Town, Strung Up to a Tree and
His Body Riddled With Bullets
The Sheriff Forced to Accom-
pany the Mob and Watch the
Execution.

CARSON. Dec T-One of the most
horrible lynchings ever known in Ne
vada occurred at Genoa, fourteen miles
from here, at 2 o'clock this morning.
Adam Uber, who last week shot and
killed Hans Anderson in a Gardner
Vile saloon, was hanged by an angry
mob OF masked men to cottonwood
tree half a mile distant from the jail
When taken from his cell the victim
had nothing on but a shirt. This was
torn off by the lynchers, and the nude
body left dangling in the air for SIX
hours. AS the body was being pulled
up the mob riddled it with bullets.
When satisfied that the man was dead,
the vig.lantes dispersed and returned
to their homes.
At the hour above mentioned the
leader Of the mob presented himself at
a side window of the County Jail, and
calling to Sheriff Brocklss, stated that
the Gardnerville Constable had arrived
with a prisoner he wished to have
locked up. The Sheriff was some time
in responding, and the mob, becoming
impatient at he delay, battered down
the door of the Recorders office with
sledge hammer, and entered the room
where the Sheriff and a Constable We're
After some resistance both officers
were disarmed and placed under
guard of six men armed with shot
guns.
The prisoner was then awakened. He
fought bard with a chair, but was soon
overpowered. He cried for mercy, but
was silenced with a gag, and after be-
ing bound was dragged through the
streets out of the city and to a place
half mile distant, where the crowd
halted.
The Sheriff and Constable were forced
to accompany the mob, and still under
a strong guard, watched the execu-
ton.
A rope was placed about Uber's neck,
and he was given one minute in which
to pray. Before the time had expired
twenty-five pair of arms tugged at the
rope, and he was lifted into the air.
Firing at his body then commenced.
and when their purpose seemed TO
have been accomplished, the lynchers
dispersed.
Uber was beaten and bruised while
being dragged to the scene of death.
The prisoner was about to receive a
fair trial, and just punishment for the
crime committed. The preliminary
examination was held last week, and
the Grand Jury had found an indict
ment. A number Of witnesses would
have been brought into court to prove
that Uber would have been assaulted
by Anderson before the shooting.
Uber has a millionaire uncle, Henry
Robson, in Pittsburg, Pa, and it is
thought that the members of the mob
may be brought to justice.

the Jail at Salinas last night. One of

key in the door. Johnson saw this,
and with a quick move unlocked the
door and "bluffed" the trusty. He
and his companion jumped out, locked
the door, threw the key away, and
escaped before anything could be done
to stop them.
In the meantime Deputy Sheriff Mes
bitt and Jailer Duckworth We're locked

them. So far nothing has been seen

INTERESTING MANDAMUS CASE.
To be Argued Before Judge Furches
This Morning.

An interesting mandamus case comes
up before Justice Furches, of the Su-
preme court, at Chambers at 10 o'clock
this morning 1t involves an important
construction Of one of the amendments
to the general election law and will be
of interest to the people of all the towns
and cities of the State that do not have
machinery for holding their elections
prescribed in their charters.
This case comes up from Louisburg.
The authorities there have taken no steps
looking to the election of Mayor and
commissioners, as provided for by the act
of 1897, amending the general election
law, and hence a mandamus has been
sworn out to compel them to show cause
why they should not now take such steps.
This mandamus was made returnable
yesterday afternoon at o'clock before
Judge Furches, but he postponed the
hearing until this morning at 10 O'Clock.
The section of the amended election law
providing the time for holding such cleo
tions says:
THAT on the first Tuesday in May,
1897, and annually on the same Tuesday
thereafter, an election shall be held in
every Incorporated city in North Caro-
lima, when and where there shall be
voted for and elected, of and by the quail
flied voters therein, such officers as are
provided for in the respective charters
of the several cities and towns Of North
Carolina. That no less than forty (4O)
days next Immediately preceding such
election the board provided for under the
general election law shall appoint one
registrar and two judges of election for
each voting precinct, to be composed of
ach political party, and shall be so ap-
pointed upon the recommendation of the
chairmen of the several political parties
in each voting precinct"
The point in this case is that the cleo
ton board of Franklin county failed to
order the election and appoint the Of
ficars for holding it within the time (4O
days required by the statute. The ques-
ton now is whether this 40 days pres
crbed is mandatory or simply directory
and whether the time absolutely requir-
eI by the law is only so much as will adj
NIT of proper execution of the provisions
of the law.
If the court holds this latter view the
election will at once be ordered and
held at the time prescribed by the law.
If it takes the position that the 4O-day
provision is mandatory the mandamus
will bc dismissed and the present town of
ficers will hold over for another year.
