MANSFIELD, o., September "a
mob formed here to-day and the Dow
ieite elders, Ephraim Bassinger, Of
Bluffton, and Silas Moot, of Lima, were
its victims. The two elders came in
on an Erie train unknown to the au-
thorities. They were recognized by
small crowd at the depot, which re-
fused to let them enter a cab, then fol-
lowed them up the street and sur
rounded them near the center Of the
city. They were then taken by the
mob to the Richland buggy works,
where Bassinger disrobed, but the mob
tore Moot's clothing from his body, as
he refused TO disrobe himself. A paint
bucket and brush were then secured,
and smoke stack varnish, tar-like
substance, was daubed over them from
head to foot. 1t was matted in their
hair, and no part Of their bodies es-
capped but their faces. Their bodies
were then partially covered with their
clothing and the elders were marched
to the home OF E. H. Leiby, a Zioh fol-
lower here. who was driven out of
the city last Sunday. There they prom
ised not to return to Mansfield, but
later they said they agreed not TO re-
turn unless Oyerseer Piper ordered
them to come. They We're then march

LINCOLN, Neb., September 23.-Hon.
VIM. ]. Byan left here for Chicago to-
night over the Burlington railroad. The
trip was suddenly decided upon and
will be hurriedly made. The train on
which the presidential candidate trav-
els is due in Chicago tomorrow morn
ing, and it is Mr.. Bryan's intention to
leave Chicago tomorrow evening on
his return trip, reaching Lincoln early
Tuesday morning.
In reply to a question as to the reason
for the hurried visit. Mr.. Bryan said
it was to confer with Chairman Jones
and other members of the national
committee concerning the campaign,
and especially with reference to his
future movements.
Senator Jones made a recent trip to
New York, and it is his desire to place
Mr. Bryan in possession of all the in
formation secured by him before the
latter begins his final tour of the coun-
try for the present campaign. 1t is
also quite probable that some changes
in Mr.. Bryan's itinerary will result
from the conference.
The next campaigning tour will be-
gin on Wednesday of this week, and
when it is once begun MIR. Bryan's time
will be SO completely allotted that
there will be little or no opportunity
for the exchange of views bewteen Mr..
Bryan and the members of the COM
mittee. He has therefore decided to
give forty hours Of the time he had ex-
peeSas-te take for rest tisas Grip and
the interview it will permit with the
committee.

Special to the Register.
TOPEKA, Kansas, September 22.--
After a chase lasting three days and
nights and covering over two hundred
miles of rough country Mr.. Frank
Rockefeller, mmeber of the Standard
Oil family, and his posse of cowboys
recovered the herd of cattle which was
stolen from his ranch in Kiowa county,
Kansas.
AS soon as it was known that the
herd had been stolen, MIR. Rockefeller
decided to give the thieves chase,
which would break up their operations
in Kansas, where the gang has run off
with cattle and horses for the past two
years.
He organized his ten cowboys into
posse and taking the lead, started his
hard ride On the trail of the cattle
thieves.
The trail led straight south towards
the Indian Territory, and was easily
followed.
For two days Mr.. Rockefeller and his
little band of rough, determined men
kept to the trail Of the thieves, with
out apparently gaining on them.
The cattle were the wild Texas va
riety which travel as fast as a horse
and it was a difficult matter to over
take them.
Mr.. Rockefeller and his volunteer
posse slept wherever night overlook
them. They carried few rations, as
they had expected to be out only a
day and night.
Mr.. Rockefeller found a portion OF q
freshly killed carcas of one of his steers
on which the
Half Breed Indian Thieves
had gorge dthemselves before going to
bed.
At noon on the third day, from a
range of Washita hills, which the posse
was crossing, the thieves and their
booty were sighted five miles away.
1t was evident that the thieves had
seen their pursuers and realized that
they would be forcd to fight for their
plumber as they were headed for a creek
bed in which to make stand.
Mr.. Rockefeller and his posse reach
ed the creek after the thieves had Sc
cured strong position.
A fierce fight ensued, in which two
of the thieves were wounded and three
of their extra ponies killed
There were but five members of the
band of thievs and, seeing that they
were outnumbered, they abandoned
their cattle, mounted their horses and
rode away.
The posse started running fight, but
were unable to infict any damage, as
the pursuit led through underbrush and
over hills, which made close range
fighting or effective shooting impossi-
bic.
Mr.. Rockefeller gathered up his
stolen stock, and leaving it in charge
of five of the cow punchers, rode home
with the remainder of his men,
Mr.. Rockefeller is a millionaire, and
his home is in Cleveland, O. His cattle
raising and ranching operations are
merely a healthgiving side issue in
dulged in more for recreation and sport
than profit.
