Ihear q great dealof talk here about
cities owning all enterprises which
have franchises. Public men claim
that cities should own the water

lines and electric Light plants. Many
favor the government owning the
railroads and telegraph lines. The
more you study these questions the
more likely you win be to come TO
this conclusion.

member that Samuel W. Buckley, dur

Uncle Sam Takes a Hand
in a Lynching.
Special Dispafch. to The Call.


CHARLESTONi.. S. CT April t.-Fif-
teen prominent citizens of Lake City,
s. c., will be put on trial here in the
United States Court next week to an
swer the charge of having lynched
Postmaster Fraser B. Baker, more than
a year ago. Besides killing the Post
master, who was negro, the alleged
lynchers will have TO answer for killing
Bakers infant child and for burning
the Lake City Postoffice with all its
effects. 81:
1t is said here that other arrests will
be made before the case is taken UP.
The indictment will go to the Grand
Jury and the hearing Will begin at
once. Eighty witnesses for the Govern
ment have been summoned and there
is a great array of witnesses for the
defense.
This is the first time on record that
the Federal Government has come into
the South to take up a lynching trial.
The murder of Baker was probably the
most brutal crime known in the history
of the State Baker was appointed
Postmaster at Lake City, and before he
took charge Of the office he was warned
to keep away. He refused and an at
tempt was made to kill him soon after
his commission. was received. This
failed and then a regular band was Or
ganized to put him out of the way.
The defendants in this celebrated case
are Ezra Mex night, w. A. Webster, "A.
V. Ward, Moultrie Epps, H. G. Goodwin,
c. j. Joiner. Oscar. Kelly, Edwin Rodg-
ers, Alenzoe Rodgers, Henry Stokes.
Allen Belk, Van Somerford, E. p. Lee,
]: P. NEWMAN and Marion Clark. They
are representative business men from
the Lake City section. Marion Clark
was formerly the editor of a. newspaper
In that town. Stokes was a deputy
United States marshal in Georgia some
years ago, and the other prisoners are
merchants and farmers go c.
According to the testimony given at
the preliminary hearing by Newham
and Lee, who turned States evidences,
the Lake City band Of lyncherss was
organized for the special purpose of
killing Baker. The negro. had refused
to leave town and give up the office.

): NEVADA CITY, April 1.-Robert
Gates, the barber who was the only
eyewitness of the murder of Policeman
Kilroy by Ed H. Moore. yesterday, is
in trepidation lest: some of Moore's
friends attempt to make way with
him. He knows that" if the murderer
is caught and brought back it is his
evidence which: Will directly and effect
ually: fasten the crime upon him, and
that If he We're silepced there might be
some room For doubt. Gates and the
officers know Moore had a few friends
of his own kind here and there and
while the latteT;do not have the hardi-
hood to come out openly: and express
sympathy for sthe. fugitive, lest the
wrath of the populace which has been
stirred to boiling pitch against Moore
be transferred to them, it is more than
half suspected that some of them are
none too good to resort to the use of
knife or pistol to save Moore's neck. if
by doing SO. they would not endanger
their own. -.
At the inquest this afternoon there
were. ten witnesses, but it was mainly
the testimony of Gates that led to a
flat-footed verdict that Moore mur-
dered Kilroy with pistol. Gates saw
everything from behind an electric
light. pole just across the: street. He
heard the men talking quietly at first.
but: what they were saying he was too
deaf to understand. Then. they raised
their voices and he saw ;Kilroy take

attempt to arrest him, saw Moore shoot
Kilroy twice in the stomach, saw Kill
roy fall against and push over Moore
and heard him cry, "Oh; come here,
Bob" Then he saw Moore pick himself
UP, and putting his pistol under the
chin of Kilroy, who was on his knees,
fire a third bullet into his victim.
County Coroner Daniels conducted
the. inquest and the jurors were Henry
Guenther, ]. G. Dean, Isaac Gamble
Henry Lane, Sidney Bussell, Thomas
Jewett, E. c. Baldridge, David: Holland
and.D. C. Nevis, -.
Last night William Pollard and w.
T. Mcclure were stationed by the
Sheriff in the vicinity of Moore's cabin
to, watch it. They say that during the
night they saw man they believed to
be. Moore approach the cabin and stand
at. the door. They opened fire and
thought they dropped him. Later they
went to the place where they had left
their luncheon and found that it had
been eaten by an animal. This MORN
ing when daylight came they were sur
prised to not lind Moore's body by or
near the cabin door, but they did find
dog tracks where their lunch had been
and they are satisfied the. tracks. were
those of Moore,s dog.
A. g. Turner of Hunts Hill came to
town this afternoon. He says that at l
o'clock to-day as he was coming down
he saw a man. near the Holsenbecker
place, four miles from here, carrying
a bundle of blankets slung over his
shoulder on the end of a stick. The
man: had just been in an Italians. ca bin,
where he ate luncheon and was headed
into the woods. He had whiskers all
over his face and wore a brown coat.
Deputy Sheriff Waters had a talk with
Turner and is satisfied the man seen
was not Moore, unless the latter has
managed to obtain a set of false Whis-
kers somewhere. -
Although the rough search. for the
fugitive has been in progress for two
days, not the slightest trace of him has
been. obtained. Many. think he has
some impregnable hiding place, proba-
bly, old mining tunnels within a mile
or two of his cabin, and that he will
LAY low for a few days before trying
to get out of the country.
The dead poIiceman's two brothers,
John and Joseph Kflroy, came near be-
ing; accidentally killed to-day. John
was. carrying Sheriff Getchell's maga>
zine shotgun from the Courthouse to
the hotel from. which the. search party
was about to start. The muzzle of the
gun was near the ground between the
men, when the charge was unaccounta-
bly, fired. The buckshot ffattened on
the stone pavement and, glancing and
rebounding, cut the brothers shoes: and
trousers in various places. Joseph was
hit in both legs by some of the shot
and one of Joints feet was slightly pep
pered.

THE OLD WAY

and Useless One,

We say the old way, but really II is
a very common one at present time and
many dyspeptics and physicians as
we'll consider the first step to take In
attempting to. cure indigestion is to
diet, either by selecting certain foods
and rejecting others or to greatly di-

Thes almost certain failure of the star
yatfon. cure for dyspepsia has been
proven time, and again, but still the
moment dyspepsia makes Its appear
apce ascourse of dieting Is at once ad-
Tised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is fool
,ish and unScientific TO recommend diet
ing or starvation to man suffering
from dyspepsia, because indigestion
itself stayves every organ and every
nerve and every fiber. In the body.
What the dyspeptic wants is abund-
ant, nutrition, which means plenty Of
good, wholesome, we'll cooked food and
something te assist the weak stomach
to digest it. This is exactly the pur-
pose. sfor which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are adapted and this is the method
by which they cure the worst cases of
dyspepsia, in other words the patient
eats plenty o6f wholesome food and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest 1t
for him. In this way the system is
riourished and the overworked stomach
rested, sbeeaGse the. tablets will digest
the food whether the. stomach works
or not. sOne of these tablets will digest
