As no attempt was made by the
lynchers to hide their identity, it is
probable that the leaders will be ar.

They a only be tried on the charge
of kidnapping and taking the murder

killing Of the Indians comes under Ok

sullen. White men who have lived
with them for years say that a general

great danger that the Indians will

THE PEOPLES PARTY-AN ADDRESS Is
SUED BY THE REORGANIZATION CON
MITTER
ST LOUIS, Jan. IA The Organization
Committee of the Peoples party issued
an address to the public to-day, as fol
lows: "The fusion movement consum-
mated at ST. Louis in July, 1896, and
the inexcusable treatment Of our can
didate for Vice President in the cam
paign that followed, gave rise to such
dissatisfaction among the rank and file
of the Peoples party as to threaten the
absolute ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the only
political organization contending for
the social and political rights of the
laboring and producing classes of the
country. It has been the purpose al
ways Of the committee to be courteous
to the National Committee, and our
supreme desire has been at all times to
promote a harmonious co operation
with the said committee that factiOnal
differences might be obliterated, our
party prestige regained and our organ
ization restored to its splendid estate.
"This committee feels confident of
it's ability TO show that it is no fault of
ours that the National Committee is
not present as a body today, but it
does not choose to waste valuable time
in wrangling over questions of official
etiquette. We avOw it to be sin
cere purpose, nov as ever heretofore,
to promote in every honorable way re
form government on the true Populist
lines, and we deem the issues too mo
mentous and the dangers threatening
free government too imminent to allow
US TO pause to consider personal griev-
ances or afeonts, or to permit wounded
dignity, real Or imaginary, to over
shadow patriotic duty.
"Under present conditions our be,
loved organization is slowly but surely
disintegrating and our comrades are
clamoring for aggressive action.
"Having in vain importuned those
who assumed to be our superiors to
permit us to aid in the grand work OF
re- organizing the Peoples party that it
may accomplish it's glorious mission,
we now appeal to the people, the true
source of all political power"
The referendum committee appointed
is as follows: Messrs. Dixon, of Mis-
souri,; Tracey, of Texss; Renolds. Of
Illinois; Matsinger, Of Indiana, and Nc
Oregon, of Georgia.
A number of rules we're adopted for
the government of the National organ
ization, among them Q rule that the
National Organic alton Committee shall
submit to a vote Of the Peoples party
any proposition when petitioned to do
so by not less than 10, 600 members Of
the party.
On the adj 1urnment Of the OrganiEa
ton Committee of the Peoples party,
the members Of the National Commit
tee present met at the LaCIede Hotel.
and adopted the following resolution:
"ResoEUedFhat we, the members of
the National Committee present, en-
dorse the action taken by the Organi-
iEatlon Committee and recommend
that its provisions be carried into
effect believing that such action viii
