Lindsay Not Likely to Resign.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Speaking to 3
question of personal privilege in the
senate Friday Mr.. Lindsay Dem, KY
commented sharply on the motives Of
the author and promoters Of the resolu-
ton recently passed by the legislature
of Kentucky demanding his resignation
as senator. Mr.. Lindsay, after defin-
ing his position on the financial ques-
ton, made it clear that he was the
representative of the whole people Of
Kentucky and not in any sense the
agent of Kentucky legislature. Above
all he said he was a senator for the
whole American people and as such
would perform his duties and cast his
vote in accordance with his convictions
and the dictates of his conscience. Nc
business Of importance was transacted
in the brief open session. After the ex.
ecutive session Of three hours the sen
! ate adjourned until Monday.

OTTUMwA, Ia., Feb. 8.-The little
town of Mercer, Mercer county, NO,
five miles south of Lineville, Ia, was
Saturday night the scene of double
murder, which may yet be followed by
lynching of the murderer, who IS

from Princeton, as the farmers began
to gather for hanging bee.
The dead men are Andrew and Joe
Alley, who conducted the largest gem
eral store at Mercer, and We're well-to-
do and widely known business men.
Peter Kindred, the murderer, is
farmer living near Mercer and has al
! ways borne a good reputation.
The shooting was the result or a
quarrel, brought on l:v tile Alley broth
ers suing Kin lred Tor an account and
getting judg .nent against him. Kim
dred got drunk Saturday night and en-
tering the Alley brothers store began
abusing them AMI s.vy;lng he would not

shot in the back and Joe fell mortally

stomach. He fingered until today,
when he died.
Kindred was captured by posse as
he was trying to escape from Mercer

legion of friends Of the Alley boys be-
gan to gather at Princeton and the
most intense excitement prevailed.
The murder of the Alley boys is thu
