THE PURE rooD INQUIRY.

| The pure food inquiry that is being
prosecuted by committee of the United
States senate, Is, as The Post has before
suggested, one OF the most timely and i'm
portant Investigations that has been UNI
dertaken on government account for many
day, but. as might have been expected,
II is not without It's bitter critics. When
there is any likelihood OF uncoverIng
fraud the rascals can always find those
who viii aid them in their defense.
Fortunately In this case the members
of the committee are not acting under
secret instructions from any department
OF the government, nor seeking to curry
favor with the powers that be, nor endeav-
orng to protect any great single interest.
The character of Inquiry that has been de-
veloped SO far gives cause to believe that
the senate committee will honestly search
for the truth and not hesitate to tell what
may be discovered. But the relief of the
public after frauds and unhealthful adul-
toratlons have been exposed, may be al
together another thing AS to the latter
phase OF the question the Galveston Trib-

marks that but little of practical value

Athens, Texas, May 26.-sheriff
Richardson came in last night from
the Transcedar section with Joe and
Walter Wilkerson, accused of taking
part in the lynchlng' of Humphreys
and his two sons yesterday. The par
ties arrested are reported to be two
of the best citizens of the section.
The only motive assigned for the
trlple lynching is that two boys were
considered by some to be hard charac-
tiers. John Humphreys was tried and
acquitted in Athens for murder. Both
boys had felony charges against them.
The father, so far as The Post corre-
spondent has been able to learn, has
never had an indictment against him,
his only offense being that he stood
by his sons in their several trials at
this place.
The murder is supposed to have been
done by parties living some distance
from the Humphreys, as their neigh
bors all say they were good neighbors
and their several crops, which are in
fine condition, show that they we're in
dustrious.
The father and two sons were buried
in one coffin and the heartrending
scene at the residence of the father,
where the corpses we're prepared for
interment, and at the graveyard was
beyond description. The three wives
with their thirteen small children,
with heartbrollen cries. supplemented
by the sorrow of nifty or sixty rela-
tlves, made it a day never to be for
gotten.
It is rumored that while the sheriff
and posse were searching In the vi
