ADAM RLYRCHED At GENOA.
TAKEN FROM JAIL AND STRUNG

a Blot on the Record of Douglas

Last Monday night the slayer g.
Hans Anderson. who was coafca -

out BY a mob of > masked men and
strung W 10 3 ire. after which his
body was riddled With bullets. Il :
supposed that the mob came from
Gardnersville where the murder oc-
Cured a couple Of weeks ago They
wore calico masks and xere armed
with shot guns. The account Of the
affair as given By a special Of the Genes
Courier the next morning IS as follows;
This morning at about five minutes
TO , O'Clock a mob of masked men
broke into the county jail and took
out Adam Uber and hanged him 10 a
tree in the Boyd lane. After stringing
him up the mob riddled him with
bullets. The mob consisted OF about
25 men. and it is supposed they came
from G~ardnerville.
The leader called TO Sheriff Brockiss
and told him the Gardnerville Consta-
BILE was there with a prisoner. but be-
fore the Sheriff came out. the mob
smashed the door through the Record
ers office with a sledge hammer and
entered the hall leading to the jail.
Sheriff Brockliss and Constable Grey
were sleeping in the courthouse when
the mob arrived. They made no re-
sistance and were placed undera guard
of six men armed with shot guns.
Then the mob, after securing the
key to the cell, took Uber out. marched
him down the road. strung him up to a
tree and shot him 8 or 9 times. There
are three bullet holes in his breast and
one in each arm. one in the chin and
in W other places.
He screamed va or three times when
taken out Of the cell but he was then
gagged and silence prevailed. The
mob took the sheriff and constable after
him to within 100 yards of whore he
hanged. The officers say that there

He was told to say his prayers and a
minute later he was hung to a tree. he
wore only a couple Of shirts when taken
from the jail and they were taken off
of him. His naked body remained
hanging TO a tree until 8 O'Clock this
morning. when the Coroner took it in
charge.
The Coroner's jury was in session
for several hours Tuesday but at the
latest report had not yet rendered a
verdict. Opinion in Douglas county
with regard to this dastardly deed is
about evenly divided. the people of
Genoa denouncing it a. an outrage,
while the people Of Charlottesville
declare that the lylc2ing of Uber was
only d just retribution for his crime.
The fact of the matter is that the per-
petrators were prominent citizens of
the latter place and though no names
are mentioned, suspicion is very strong
against certain parties who may find
it pretty hard to explain their where
abouts on Monday night. a most thor
ough investigation should be made by
the authorities and the guilty parties,
however prominent they may be,
should be punished to the full extent of
the law. Their victim was indicted and
would without doubt have received a
fair trial. He has a millionaire uncle
in Pittsburgh, Pa, who may cause his
murderers some trouble.

PART II.

There was quite a stock Of valentines
in the boxes on the counter, and Sol
omon Badgers grandson, 'Lonzo, was
waiting to sell them. The trade had
been quite brisk since morning, though
it was the day before Valentines DAY.
'Lonzo Badger waited for Grand
father Judd to inspect the valentines,
and sucked a lemon drop the while.
'LonZo was fifteen, very stout and con-
sidered not very bright. However, he
could sell valentines, for the prices
were al marked on the backs, and his
grandfather was not afraid to trust
him. Solomon Badgers eyes were
poor, and his granddaughter Sophia,
'Lonzo's sister, though she was called
"bright enough" was decidedly uncer-
tain, and more given to thinking about
her mittenS and her curls than good
trade. SO, when Solomon Badger could
press 'Lonzo into service with safety
he was glad to do so.
Presently Grandfather Judd got up
with an effort, and went over. to look
at the valentines. one Immediately
caught his eye. 1t was much the largest
and handsomest there, a beautiful COM
bination of lace paper, embossed doors,
roses and angels.

Marked on back" mumbled 'Lonzo,
sucking his lemon drop.
Grandfather Judd looked and saw
that te valentine was marked fifty
cents. That seemed to him rather an
eXtravagant price. He made up his
mind never to tell how much he gave,
and to scratch out the mark. But he
could not resist the temptation, it was
so decidedly the handsomest valentine
there.
He bought it and started out with it,
then suddenly changed his mind. He
remembered that the postofiice was a
quarter of mile further on: that his
rheumatism was bad, and that it was a
day too early to post the valentine. He
remembered also, that his sOn-in-laW
was going to Westdale to trade a COW
the next day, and that ii would perhaps
not be convenient to get to the post
office before Valentines day. SO he
gave 'Lonzo Badger five cents; told him
to buy one-cent stamp for the Valen-
tine and put it in the office the next
day, and he might keep the remaining
four cents for himself. Guess he's

THAT bogus CANAL SCHEME.

From the Baltimore American.
why should the United States make a
present of many millions of dollars to the
Nicaragua Canal company? Does this
country owe this bankrupt concern any
thing? If so, how and when was the obli-
cation incurred? When the company
asked to be incorporated, it expressly
stated, through its senatorial agent that
it did not want dollar from the govern
ment. 1t said that II had spent SS,OOOOO
upon the canal; but the rigid investigation
has never disclosed more than S2,0OOC0J
of actual money spent, and the most OF
that went in lobbying. It's principal OK
pendituros, outside of this, was the loss
of a light draught steamer, which sue
cumbcd to the treacherous approaches TO
the so-called canal To remove these APP
proaches, so as to make it safe for vessels
to enter the canal, would cost more than
the canal itself.
But why should the government appro-
pirate millions of dollars to recoup this
company for moneys that it never had
and, therefore, could not spend, when the
government can get a hundred companies
to undertake the job without any costly
bonus, or can do the work cheaper ana
better itself? Taxes are levied for the
support of the government. 1t never was
intended mat they should be voted as Il
bonus to Il bankrupt company, with a
bill itself is hopelessly vicious, even if the
| canal can be built. But a commission
| ordered by congress, and composed of the
| most eminent engineers in the United
| States, has, after hasty examination,
| expressed doubt of its feasibility under
any conditions, and has said that If feast
| BILE, it will cost twice as much as the
| company has said it would. Not only TINS,
| the commission has said officially that the
| company's surveys are totally untrust-
worthy. Is it possible that men entrusted
| with the interests of the public will, with
! such testimony before them, rccklessiy
| squander one hundred millions Of dollars
upon this scheme?
If they feel bound to take some action,
| let them send the commission back TO
| finish its work, or let them appoint new
| commission, if they are prejudiced against
| the truth, and instruct it to examine all
| the canal routes, and decide which is teas-
| ible, and which not. Give ii the time and
| money to do its work properly, and settle
| the canal question in the interests of the
| public instead of in the interests of q
canal lobby.

thing about it, I'll send it to Serena

Sam Wells went to Solomon Badgers
about fifteen minutes before school
time, and found Sophia in attendance.
She blushed and smiled when he en-
tered. She considered Sam quite a de-
sirabe beau.
"Halloa, Sophia" said he, ever see
this before?'

1t went to Riggsville, N. Y, and finally
brought up in the dead letter office,
where it must be now.
1t was eight o'clock when the valen
tine was sold for the third time to
Miranda Sail. She came in with an
other girl, Lottie Goodwin, and both
had their heads together over some
valentines which LOttie had received,
early as it was. They We're so much
interested in them that Miranda did
not hurry about her purchase, but fin
ally she selected the same valentine
which had suited Grandfather Judd
and Miss Little, and addressed the en-
velope properly this time, and gave 1t
to Lottie Goodwin to post, because on
her way home lay past the office. Mi
randa never thought about it being a
day too soon.
The girls parted at Solomon Badgers S
door, Miranda going one day and Lot
tie another.
Lottie put the new valentine in silk
bag which she carried on her arm. 1t
contained also her other valentines
which she had just received. When she
reached the office it was closed, and she
had to deposit the valentine III Ine OUT

1t is expected by the people that these

any attempt at evasion will be regarded
with even greater contempt than open de-

never reflected that the envelope was

1t was about half-past seven o'clock
when Miss Little, the school teacher,
came in with the young man who was
paying her attention. They had been
taking a little stroll in the moonlight,
and she had been telling him how she
had punished that dear little Serena
Ann Wells for whispering about a
valentine; how sorry she was, and how
she had wished to send her a valentine

thinking how sweet and tender hearted
she must be.

fled, leaving her year-old son behind, and
Yorke was her companion. His brother
followed them from place to place, but for
a long time they managed to elude HIM,
and at last he died of fever caught in
Italy. Years afterwards Yorke came to
Monks Hall alone. The child was young,
and there had been no guardian appointed.
