DAMAGES
Awarded the Estate of Click Mitchell,
Who Was Lynched.

Urbana, o., June 5.--(Spl.) THE Sec
ond trial of the suit of the executor of
the estate of "Click" Mitchell against
the county for the recovery of $1,000
damages for the lynching of Mitchell
by mob, took place in the Common
Pleas court before Judge Kumler of
Dayton and a jury. p
AS the plaintiff had but to show that
Mitchell was hanged and by mob the
trial was very brief and but few wit,
nesses were examined. Under in
structions of the court the jury re-
turned verdict against the county
for $1,000 in short order.
The ease will be carried to the Su-
premc court of the United States.
Mitchell was hanged three years ago
tonight.

A POLITICAL HERETO.

Mr.. James X. Keene, of New York,
is one of the best known millionaire
brokers in Wall Street. He is also Il
Republican, but he has certain frank,
ness of speech that is far from being
an attribute of an orthodox Republic
can, as the term is understood now
ndnys. Before going abroad few
days ago Mr.. Neene gave his view of
the political situation TO New York
reporter, and, among other things, he
said
Money is in the saddle 1t is rid
ing down the institutions of this coun.
try with confident insolcncc that
tells Of It's firm belief in its own in
vincibility, 1t Is running the govern.
ment today in every branch and
arm"
Mr.. Keene said nothing new when
he uttered these words, but from the
way some of tho so-callcd orthodox"
Republican newspapers are abusing
him one would imagine that he has
given currency to II political hcresy Of
the most dangerous type, ana deserves
the limit OF ccnsurc,
| A millionaire, especially Wall Street
millionaire, and Republican at that,
has no right to give publicity to such
opinions, even If he is wicked enough
| to think them. Poor Kecnc!
