PUTS IN A DEMURRER
Proceedings In the Teachers Fed
Grafton Case Against the
Equalizers.
THINGS THE STOCK BREEDERS ASK
Sugar Beet Men Formulate a Few De-
sires-Murder Committed On
the Highway.

Springfield, Ills, Nov. 1.-THE Chi
cago Teachers Federation petition for
n mandamuS to compel the state board
of equalization TO tax certain fran
chises in Cook county was admitted to
the docket in the Sangamon county
circuit court yesterday. Attorney
General Akin entered the appearances
of the board and filed Il demurrer to
the petition. L was decided by Judge
Creighton that the arguments shall be
made Monday morning at o'clock.
They will occupy nearly all the day.
Pith of the Demurrer.
In brief the attorney generals de-
murer is that no duties are shown to
be now due, but that there is still time
under the boards practice and pro-
cedure for the assessment of capital
stock, and that the necessary informa-
ton has not yet been obtained, tabu-
lated, examined, and proper equaliZa-
tion made to permit of the assessment
of capital stock, yet petitioners are
seeking to prevent only threatened
abuse of discretion.
Courts Jurisdiction Attacked.
The board IS not subject to control
or direction by mandamuS and this
court is without Jurisdiction to award
mandamuS, which means that the state
cannot be sued and that this board is
the state or the states agency. The ac-
tion of the board IS judicial or quasi
judicial and discretionary in nature,
and not subject to mandamus.
Resolves of the Stock Breeders.
Springfield, Ills, Nov. 1.-THE Illi-
nois Live Stock Breeders association
convention, before adjOurning, passed
a resolution urging the Legislature to
appropriate the necessary money to
build live stock pavilion az the state
fair grounds; pledging its support TO
the Illinois Seed and Corn Growers
association and asking GOvernOr-elect
Yates to name representative and eX
perienced breeders as members of the
state board of live stock commission
ers and recommending Fred II. Rank
in. of Athens. secretary of the Live
Stock Breeders association, for ap
pOintment.

HOW THE MOB aoT ITS VICTIM.
He Was Sent Unguarded, Practically,
Right Into Its Hands.


The train bearing the negro in the
custody of Sheriff Freeman and his
deputies arrived in Limon at 3:45 D. m
The cars were crowded with newspa-
per reporters and people who We're Gu
rious to see the negro executed. r. w.
Frost, the murdered girls father, was
one of the passengers. When the train
stopped sixteen men of the mob en-
tered the train and demanded the priS-
oner from the sheriff. The officer pro-
tested in the name of the law, and
asked the men to allow him to take
his prisoner to the county Jail at Hugo,
but his protests We're diSregarded- One
man carried n rope on which had been
formed hangman's moose. This was
slipped over the negro'S neck.
1t was at first announced that the
negro was to be executed by hanging
Many, including the father of the ne
gro's victim, protested that such 4
death would be too easy. and il was
finally decided to leave the method of
death to the outraged father. He de-
cided upon burning at the stake. The
train was then allowed to proceed. and
at Lake Station. about three miles
from Limon. and near the scene of the
negrO's crime, the party left the train
and began preparations for the deed
of vengeance.
The negrO's crime was the murder
of young girl whose body was found
stabbed in fourteen places. The prep
aration far the above entertainments
We're made publicly and were known
all over the United States long before
the entertainment came off. 1t was
known the negro would be killed by a
mob if he was taken back to Limon
without n very strong and very loyal
guard. There was not the possibility
of doubt as to that matter But the
burning was a new idea.

many would have cared TO capture him

only the legs were in the fire. The
cries of the wretch were redoubleti and
