Bismarck, N D., Nov. 15.-Alex Cou-
dot Indian half-breed. and Paul Holy
track and Phillip Ireland. full blooded
Indians, the first Of whom was sentenced
TO death for the murder of six of the
Spicer family last February and had
just been granted a new trial by the SUI
preme court, and the latter two self
confessed accessories in the murder,
were taken from the county Jail in EN-
mons county Saturday night and
lynched by a mob. The lynching had
been apparently coolly planned, and was
carried out without a break in the pro-
srdmme as is naturally the case il
these little affairs. Williamsport. where
the hanging took place, is about forty
miles from this city. and off the railroad.
The news Of the hanging was received
here yesterday afternoon when a
mounted messenger arrived. his horse
in a foam from a swift ride, and an
nounced that the three men had been
lynched.
Sheriff Was Not sim al the Death"
The sheriff of the county was in this
city at the time the hanging occurred,
and il was to him that the messenger
rode in such hot haste. The men had
been under the custody of Deputy Sher-
iff Tom Kelley, and they were taken
from under his control by the mob and
hanged TO beef windlass several hun
dred yards from the Jail. where their
bodies were swinging to the breeze all
yesterday the coroner not having yet ar
rived and no one else volunteering to cut
them down. There were about forty men
concerned in the lynching. They rode
into Williamsport on horseback late at
night and tethered their horses short
distance from the city that they might
secure them again as speedily as neces-
sary after the deed was done. The Jail
in which the prisoners were confined is
a substantial stone structure, and was in
charge of Deputy Sheriff Thomas
Kelley.
The Way Waterman Kelley Was Fooled.
Since the confinemnt of the prisoners
therein so great has been the fear that
they might escape in some way that one
man has watched all night within the
Jail, and Friday night Kelley was on
watch. There was a meeting Of the lodge
OF WOodmen in the building near the
Jail, and as Kelley was a member he eX-
pected to meet some Of the members OF
the lodge after the meeting 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. At about o'clock in the MORN
ing there was a rap a the outer door of
the jail and Kelley arose quickly and
turned the key i'm the lock, thinking that
the persons he expected to meet had ar
rived.

DR.. Mcdonald
The 5),,illi.
Office Parlors at the Dyckman
House, Paw Paw, on
FRIDAY, NOV. 26, 81.
One Day Only Each Month.

DIR. Mcdonald has for years
made study and speciality of
chronic and lingering diseases
that require skillfull medical
treatment for their cure; such
cases as family physicians fail to
help and pronounce incurable are
particularly solicited, especially
those over dosed with strong
mineral drugs and poisons. DIR.
Mcdonald uses only the purest
medicines from the vegetable
kingdom. He pays attention to
the cause of the disease and in
structs his patients the way to
health and happiness.
DR.. Mcdonald can show hun
dreds of testimonials in the hand
writing of grateful patients who
have been cured by him, when
others fail. He is SO familiar
with the human system that he
is able to read all diseases of the
mind or body correctly at glance
without asking any questions.
Thousands Of invalids are being
treated daily for diseases that
they do not have, while a few
drops of medicine directed to the
seat of the disease would give
speedy relief and permanent cure
in very short time. Good health
is the most precious jewel in our
crown of happiness. With it the
world is bright, without it, misery
claims us for her own. If you
are a sufferer you should weigh
well these words; person who
neglects his health is guilty of a
great wrong to himself and
grave injury to humanity. The
name of DIR. Mcdonald, the we'll
known specialist in the cure of
chronic and lingering diseases,
has become a household word in
thousands of homes which his
skill and wonderful remedies have
made happy by restoring dear
ones to health after all hopes
were lost. The doctor is a grad
uate of the highest and best med
ical colleges and his advanced
theories in the treatment of
chronic diseases surprise the
most skeptical. All chronic dis
eases of the

Mrs. Marin, OF Hawarden, visited ct
Mr.. Sellberg's one day last week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ole Runbeck, Of Sphinx,
were here to attend the funeral Of
David Anderson last week.
Bro. Davis, OF the Akron Register,
took y whirl on his wheel up this way
one day last week. OF course be was
out on business and did not notice the
shy chances cast at him by our fair
ones.
A party from here took ad vantage Of
the low rates on the Milwaukee road
and joined the excursion Sunday for
Spirit Lake. The weather was de.
lightful and had it not been for heavy
rain at the lake an hour before starting
for home the trip would have been
made without any discomfort. We
went along to see that the confidence
man didn't work any of our tenderfeet,
and especially to keep track OF the
young beaux from this community, WHO
are unsccustomed to the wiles OF the
seaside or summer resort girl. As lar
rs we can ascertain everyone enjoyed
the trip and would like to 20 every
Sunday. The concert was given by the
Sheldon and Canton bands. The Iowa
band had about twice as many players
as our Dakota band, but II our judgment
is anything on music the Dakota boys
wallOped the ground with the big band
as TO skill and good music. We feel
indebted to DIR. Gyllenhammer OF Gay
villeior keeping our party In humor-
GUS mood on the trip. The doctor Ia
brim full OF dry humor and knows just
where to use 1t and no one car have the

become resident of this community.
We met Anthem Olson, Of Canton. Ut
the lakes and had pleasant chat.

throng and we we're sorry that his
Union Creek girl was not able to 60,
but Aaron is an old timer at seaside re.

as though he was heart free. We are
certain that Aaron had way up time
Dad Moore and Jim Kennedy OF Akron
had their wives along but that did mol
deter them from Teasing their eyes or
the bathing girl when she took header
down the t0boggan slide. Bro. Smitt
OF the Tribune was also along, but W
failed to get an eye on him after thu
train left Akron, and from best authorit!
we concluded he put in his time at thu
