RUMOR OF A MOB
Resulted in Sheriff SpieEeI Taking Ex-
ira Precautions.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENFIELD, Ind, Nov. 25. = James
Burton had quite a scare tonight when the
rumOr reached him that a mob was coming
over from Indianapolis to lynch him.
Burton was sitting in his cell, talking
through the bars to his guard and smoking
a cigar, when deputy sheriff came in and
told him what he had heard He sprang
to his feet and the cigar dropped from his
grasp He was about to speak, but checked
himself and quickly recovered his COM
posure.
'Oh, guess you are joshing me-, he said.
with smile.
The deputy told him that he was in earn
est, but did not know how much truth there
was in the rumor.
Burton thought enough of what the deputy
had heard to summon Attorney Spahr and
have a talk with him, which resulted in
Sheriff Spiegel being advised of the rumor.
Sheriff Spiegel hunted up Prosecutor Wilt
sic and then made an effort to run the ru-
MGR down. He was unsuccessful, however,
and returned to the Jail with little more
information regarding the rumor than he
had when he started.
The rumor was traced far barber
shop. 1t was learned that it had merely
passed through the barber shop, and had
there been taken up and carried by q half
dozen persons about the streets. Who start
ed it and what his authority is a mystery
One man said that it started from a re-
mark dropped by Prosecutor Wiltsie, but
that was hooted at. 1t was said that Mr..
Wiltsie had said something about Burton
and about lynching while getting shaved.
This could not have been true, however, for
Mr.. Wiltsie did not get shaved to-day. While
the rumor has not been given any credence,
and it is believed to have started here from
some idle talk, Sheriff Spegel thought
enough of it to take some extra precau-
tions in order to be prepared for any emer-
gency. Instead of having the one guard
at the Jail, who has been on night duty
since Burton was brought here, there will
be tive or more men awake and on guard all
night and others within easy access in case
of an emergency.
There is another, and perhaps a more
sensible reason for increasing the guard
tonight. Almost at the same time the ru-
NOR was going the rounds about the Indian
apolis mob that was TO lynch Burton there
also tloated into life a story of a mob of
the opposite character. 1t was reported that
some of BurtonS friends were coming here
to free him. Burton also heard this and
said:
There can be no truth in that and he
added, with some bitterness, People whom
l thought were my friends are my friends
no longer. My friends have deserted me-"
Nobody here takes any stock in the mob
rumors, and if one comes before morning
the people of Greenfield will De greatly sur
priSed.

WORK BEGUN ON A FLYING MACHINE
FOR GOLD SEEKERS.
1t Is Expected to Sail 100 Miles an
Hour and to Carry Ton of Pas
sengers and Provisions.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25-Hiram s.
Maxim, superintendent of construction of
the Atlantic & Pacific Aerial Navigation
Company, announces that that company
now has in course of construction an air
ship, in which it is expected to make the
trip to the Klondike He said: When ev-
erything necessary is on board the ship will
weigh five thousand pounds, and we shall
take on board about one ton weight of pas
sengers and provisions. The dimensions of
the vessel will be- Cylinder, 3S feet inches
in diameter and 80 feet in length; length of
forward cone, 80 feet; length of after cone,
45 feet; total length, 15S feet The space &C.
cupied will be 10000 cubic feet. The pro-
pelling power will be sixteen-horse-powe
naphtha engine, which will be made out of
aluminium, as far as that metal can be
used, and will weigh complete nine hun
dred pounds The gasoline will be stored
in tanks in the cases which will contain
sufficient quantity to drive the vessel
around the earth without replenishing the
tanks. The skin of the ship will be double
and the intermediate space will be filled
with hydrogen gas. The gas will be confined
in separate compartments and will be in
the upper part of the cylinder and in the

a number of witnesses from indianapolis TO
prove his character, and that ne INTENDED
to produce several hundred witnesses who

The witnesses who were summoned for
the defense have all left town. Charles
Dawson, captain of police of Indianapolis,
was over with the bloodhounds which
trailed Burton a short distance on the night
of the murder. Just what was expected to
be proved by the dogs is rot any clearer
than was their scent on the night they
started on Burton's trail. Capt. Dawson
was allowed to return to the city last
night, and the defense told number or
other witnesses quietly that they could go
home last night, but some were kept there
until to-day
There was the usual complaints from wit
neSSeS of the hardship coming here imposed.
Two or three of the witnesses for the de-
tense did not come at all, and although
they were not needed, there was some talk
of sending attachments for them just TO
uphold the dignity of the court. 1t will not
be done, however. Fully dozen of the
states witnesses came over here penniless
and were cared for by the attorneys and
others. Bird had no money and was kept
here a whole day by the defense just to
tell the jury that his hearing was slightly
impaired. Another witness responded to the
summons by riding over from Indianapolis

HE "STRINGED" THE NEWS.
Burton has given up all hope of escap-
ing with less than a life sentence. To the
Journal correspondent to-day he admitted
the truth of all the statements he made
in an interview with a Journal reporter
which was published last Saturday morn
ing. He afterward denied that interview in
the News, and declared that the Journal
reporter had lied about him and his case.
He now admits the truth of the interview,
and says that if he had gone on the wit
ness stand he would have admitted to the
jury everything charged to him. except the
actual shooting of Redmond. claiming thar
Frank Collins, the man who helped him
rob Job Eldridge, did the shooting.
BY the way, the man Collins was arrested
shortly after the murder of Redmond as a
suspect and held two or three days at the
police station. He had recently shaved his
mustache off, He was not identified, how
ever, and was released

GOLD STATUE OF M'KINLEY.
One to BE Constructed That Will Con-
tain Bullion Valued at $1,O0O,OOO.

NEW YORK, Nov 25.-Ada Rehan in sill
yer is to be outshone by William Mckinley
in gold. The actresses statue in solid silver,
exhibited at the worlds fair in 1885, is to be
eclipsed by the President of the United
States, who will furnish the figure for a
life-size statue of solid gold. This will be
the most costly lump of precious metal the
people of the modern world have ever seen.
So says F. d. Highly, of Chicago who has
been retained by Western men to furnish
such statue for exhibition at the Paris
exposition in 1900. Mr.. Highly was in the
city yesterday on his way to Washington
to get the consent of President Mckinley
to pose for the figure He said:
You know that / designed and built the
Montana statue for which Ada Rehan
posed. / suppose it was because of my ex-
perience that | have been retained to build
this statue, which, with the base, will be
about seven feet in height, and which will
contain bullion to the value of 81, ,O50,000
While it was designed primarily first to ex-
hibit this gold statue at Paris in 1900, the
directors of the Pan-American exposition,
to be held in Cayuga island, in the Niagara
river in 1899, are anxious to have it COM
pleted in time to exhibit there first. 1t is
likely that this arrangement will be made.
l cannot divulge as yet who the capitalists
are who are back of the project, but there
are a half dozen of them, and everything
is ready to begin work on the statue as soon
as a design is completed"

PROSPERITY In KANSAS.
Farmers Are S4O,554,231 Richer than
They Were Last Year.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 25.-The Kansas
Board of Agriculture has prepared a final
bulletin showing the States crop yields
and farm values and the number and farm
values of live stock for the year 1897. The
total yield of winter wheat is 5O040,S74 BUSH
els. worth $3S, 79S 612, or almost 100 per cent.
more than last years crop. The average
yield per acre is 1907 bushels. The corn
crop is 1872 140, S93 bushels, or 6S,2 421 BUSH
els less than in 1896, and its value S7.O77. 720
less. OF oats the yield is 23, ,431,2 273 bushels
an increase of 4.116.501 bushels. The yield
per acre was 1882. Spring wheat shows a
yield of 9S6,23O bushels. as against 601.52S in
1896. The combined value of winter and
spring wheat, corn and oats Is $685. 76S, 1855
an increase OF $15,071 $3.50 over that of last
year.
The figures given are result of probably
the most searching inquiry the board has
ever undertaken for learning beyond ques-
ton in careful detail the extent and value
of the States production. The probable to-
tai acreage of winter wheat sown the pre-
vious autumn is about 3,Si5,OO0 acres, or an
increase over the previous year of 16 per
cent In spite of an unusually dry fall in
much of the State a large proportion of the
wheat is growing and promises well. The
net increase in value of this years agricui-
tural productions over that of 1896 is S21,-
204246. and of live stock $40. .60S. .9S5, a total
increase of S4O,5542Sl. or somewhat more
than Il per cent

the little craft, now presumably cruising IN
the south seas, is Captain Sorrenson, who.
according to ex-Consul Churchill, of Apia,

spoiler OF the natives in the islands of the
central Pacific. When the Sophia Suther-
land reached Apia she was subjected to a
searching scrutiny. during which Sorren-
son was identified as the man who had led
similar treasure-seeking expedition from
Melbourne on the schooner Albert, which
he soon transformed into regular pirate.
In 1884 he was captured by the British man
of-war Dart and sent TO prison for ten
years. Since then he had not been heard
from till now, when he is virtual command
