NEARLY A LYNCHING.
A Crowd Captures Tramp Who
Shot q Farmer

A Crowd Captures a Tramp Who
- Shot a Farmer.
Grafton, Wis.,. Dec. 29.-John Helms
farmer near here, was shot in cold
blood to-day by Ferdinand Fragen-
knecht, whose object was presumably
robbery. Two shots lodged in Helms
head and one passed through his neck,
and he cannot possibly recover. After
firing the murderous shots Fragen-
knecht fed. He was quickly pursued
by posse of citizens who caught him
and there We're threats of lynching.
Officers safely lodged him in Jail. The
murderer apparently is tramp, and
had asked for meal, which was
given him, and then he pulled out a
revolver and shot the old farmer
while his wife was in another room.
She ran from the house shouting "Mur-
DER" and a crowd soon collected and
followed and captured the man.

If it is true, as reported from Span
ish authorities, that a Spanish army
of 1000 sent to Cuba had dwindled
to 700 effective men in two months,
then it is in order for Cleveland and
Olney to interpOse at once for the in
dependence of the island AS friends
of Spain they should not sit down su-
pinely and see the flower of her youth
cut down like grass by the mower in
that way. This is an argument that
their Spanish sympathies should not
refuse to consider. 1t may also serve
to show that there are not as many
Spanish troops in Cuba as Spain
thinks. At least it might be mighty
interesting to secure accurate returns
from Weyler's adjutant general as to
what the available force is. Gomez is
reducing it so rapidly that accurate
figures are hard to get.
