son, prominent white man, who was
stabbed last Saturday al a negro dance at
Kendall, died here yesterday morning
Tom Handley who was also badly cut, is

Yesterday afternoon the deputy sheriff
captured two of the negroes connected
with the bloody work. near the scene of
the crime. The party started to place
the two brothers in Jail, when one of the
negroes broke away, and although he was
shot the second time, he made good his
escape.
The officers then continued their way
with the other one. whose name is Doug
las. Near Anderson the negro was taken
from the men late in the night and strung
up to a bridge on the Cotton Belt rail-
road, where his body was found this morn,
ing. 1t is given out that a mob of ne
groes hanged Douglas, but it is generally
believed that the mob was composed of
white citizens. Douglas has always been
a desperate character, and is supposed to
have led the gang that did the bloody
work last Saturday.
A well authorized report reached here
this evening that six other negroes, vho
have been connected with the affair. have
been arrested and placed in Jail at Rison.
The jail is not considered very safe, and
il is the general opinion that before to-
morrow all six will be lynched.
Excitement in and about Anderson and
Kendall is at fever heat, and more trou-
BILE is expected.

A KIondIke strike.

Three years ago j. l.. Malcolm, an attor-
ney of Denver, Colo, grub staked" Mi
chael Gideon TO $500 to prospect near
Cooks Inlet. A year later he received
letter from Gideon saying that there was
no chance for poor man in Alaska and
that he had returned. Gideon inquired if
Malcolm would not advance another $500
for trip to Bolivia. Malcolm was so dis
gusted that he did not answer. That was
the last he heard, until letter from Gid
con reached Malcolm few days ago. The
letter informed him that there is 81, OOO. 900
awaiting him in mines and gold dust in
Dawson.
Gideon said he had claims and gold mug
gets worth $4,0O0,0 900, and declared that
he would abide by the original contract as
soon as a system of exchange was estab-
lished. He said he would remit 5000 as
an evidence of good faith. Malcolm saws
the letter bears all the marks of genuine
ness, having been posted in Dawson on
Aug. 9, and he believes Gideon has made a
fortune. Gideon is 30 years old, and for
many years was foreman of the Spring
dale mine in Boulder county, Colo. The
letter concludes: 81 have been offered
$500, 900 for one of the claims. 1t is the
best in the Klondike. / have taken out

A Ray of Hope.

The devastation of our forest lands has
proceeded so rapidly that the reimpOsition
of the duty of two dollars thousand feet
on sawed lumber exctes a good deal of
apprehension. 1t is easy to calculate that
our white pine will soon be gone, and that
our other supplies OF soft wood will not
suffice for the increased demand. On the
other hand, ii is to be considered that very
large areas of cleared or partly cleared
lands are steadily reatforested by nature.
A correspondent of Garden and Forest
has recently described the second growth
of trees on a tract of land in Pennsylvania
which was cleared and then abandoned
some 40 years ago, and his account is de-
cidedly reassuring. The clearing in this
case was in the middle of pine forest, and
the cleared ground was, of course at once
seeded by the pines left standing around it.
Although the first trees 10 start up i'm the
clearing were hard species, it seems
that these afford shelter to the young pines,
which presently shoot above their former
protectors and gradually crowd them out.
In the tract described an acre was meas
ured and found TO contain 3S3 white pines
aud 1910 trees of other species, but the
tops of the pines spread over four fifths Of
the area, and most of the pines were of
considerably greater diameter than the
hardwoods. Not including pines under
four inches in diameter, the amount of
pine lumber on this acre was estimated at
over 10000 feet, board measure. Half a
century from now this will probably have
increased to at least 10000 feet, which at
present prices should net about S240
When we reflect how many thousands of
acres are being silently restored by ma
ture in this way, We may to some extent
feel encouraged as to the future of the
forests, in spite of the perversity of legisla-
tors and lumber-men.
