WIFE ASSA|L ANT QUIETLY LYNCNED Fate of a Man Who Shot
 His Spouse. MIDNIGHT WORK OF A MOB INTIMIDATEDTHE SHERIFF AND REMOVED THE PRISONER. Story of the First Hanging, Lawful or Otherwise, That Has Occurred
 in Scott County, In-

MIDNIGHT WORK OF A MOB
INTIMIDATEDTHE SHERIFF AND
 REMOVED THE PRISONER.
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

SCOTTSBURG, Ind, Dec. A. - A iynching took place here early to-day so quietly that few of the residents knew of the occurrence until this morn ing. Marion Tyler, the victim, had been in jail for several weeks, in con- sequence of an attempt to kill his wife.
 Shortly after midnight the mob was formed, all those composing it being masked. The men hurried to the Sheriff's residence in the jail, called him by name and, covering him and his sons with guns, the leader demanded: Turn over the keys of the jail!"
 The demand was promptly refused, but the mob became so threatening and determined that the Sheriff and his family were frightened into telling where the keys could be found. The men took them and went to the jail, where they secured their prisoner and hanged him.
 On November 3 last Tyler shot and seriously wounded his wife and then made an intellectual attempt at suicide. His trial was to have taken place Jan uary 13.
 This is the first hanging in the his tory of Scott County, either lawful or by lynchers. TyleF's parents, residing at McLeansboro, H., were notified of what had occurred.

charges against anybody what ever in the service, but thinks the law, military and civil, IS ample to be invoked in the cause of truth and justice. General Eagan con tents himself with the complete denial of the statements alleged to have been made by General Miles"
 The interview alleged to have. been given by General Miles, and to which General Eagan takes exception, was published yester- day in Cincinnati paper. Gen. eral Miles expressed the belief that the action of chemicals used in the preparation of beef for the army of Porto Rico and Cuba was largely responsible for the sick mess of the army. General Miles was also quoted as saying he had Suggested that food was sent to his large army under pretense of experiment" and, further, that to feed an army with such beef was "more than an experiment.
 When 1 saw General Miles to- day he declined to make any statement whatever for publiea- ton concerning the matter, giving me to understand that the action he would take would be maintained a secret for the present. From what have been able to learn, however, Gen. eral Miles will not retract what he has said. He has made a careful investigation of the beef ques- ton, and his statements before the War Commission some days ago were fortified by reports from regimental commanders and surgeons. He did not say of his own motion, therefore, that the beef was bad, but he gave it as his opinion, based upon the re- ports of officers under his com mand that such was the case.
 It is presumed by those close to him that General Miles pro- poses to make statement to the Secretary of War concerning the condition of meat furnished his army, and will recommend that. such action be taken in the premises as may be deemed proper. It will then rest with the President and Secretary of War to determine what shall be done, and the friends of General Eagan say that in case the matter takes such turn as that indicated there can be but one result-his court-martial, which they are cer- tain will terminate in his vindi- cation. Should such a vindica- ton occur, they add, General Miles will have been shown to be guilty of having publicly calum- niated General Eagan, and that he should be court-nlartialed on al charge of "conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman. Should he be found guilty the ar ticles of war prescribe that the sentence shall be dismissal.
