tho race meet last month. He said
that he learned there was no gambling
on the first day of the meet, but on
the second day gambling was in prog

bookmakers and men with dice being
present. About 20 persons he talked to
would not say anything about the
matter for fear Of being summoned to
court. None of the six policemen on
the grounds saw the gambling. The
officers of the Wawaset Driving Asso-
citation said the gambling did not go
on with their permission.
In conclusion. Chief Dolan said his
investigation showed that the officers
of the association knew gambling was
going on and made no effort to sup
press it. The offenders are all out Of
the State and there is no way to appre-
bend them.
After some discussion the commission
accepted the report.

Alma, KAN, July 10.-An attempt to
lynch Dick Williams, a negro, charged
with the murder of two white men, was
made last night by mob of white
men. The mob left the negro hanging
to telegraph pole, and, six minutes
later, he was cut down by the town
marshal, and taken back to the county
jail, where he recovered consciousness.
The negro is still alive, but cannot
live.
On June 2sth, Harry 7. 1andy and
an unknown white man were robbed
and murdered at Mcfarland, this
county. A few days following, James
II. Ender, alias Denver Kid, and Dick
Williams, alias Trilby, both colored,
were arrested by James Ramsey, chief
Of police of Topeka, and, when ques-
toned, Denver Kid fastened the crime
on Trilby.
Yesterday, Sheriff True of wabaunsee
county brought 1rilby to Alma, to
lodge him in Jail. When he arrived,
mob of at least 200 men met him at the
Rock Island depot, but they were foilsd
until tho prisoner was being placed in
Jail, when Trilby was seized and
dragged, with rope around his neck,
a block and strung to the telegraph
pole. where he hung for six minutes,
when he was cut down by Marshal
Pippert. The crowd, believing him
dead, permitted the officers to take him
back to Jail, and dispersed.
II. I. Tanby lived at Creighton. Mo.
His father is a doctor of that city, and
is also in the drug business. Harry
was drug clerk.
The people Of Alma and the country
surrounding are greatly excited, and
while great precautions are being taken
to prevent further trouble, it is feared
the murderer will be again taken from
the Jail.
