1t does not accord with the prevalent
impression probably, yet 1t seems to be .
fact that lynohings In the South have
steadily diminished during the last seven
years. In 1872, according to tns Chicago o
Tribune. which has carefully gst taersd the
statistics there were 2s5 lynchings. The
mex year there were ius 80; the next
100; the next III; the next l3l; the next
16i; the next 1871, while last year there
were ONLY 1O7. Only four of the lynchings
last year occurred In the North. the re-
maining 1903 ali taking placs In the
South. or the persons lynohed twenty
three were whits men and eighty y-four
negroes. Flfty-ssven of the victims were
accused of murder or completely In mur-
der, seventeen of felonious assault, one of
highway robbery. five of plain robbery,
six Of arson, three Of aiding criminals TO
escape. The explanation given In one
case is "intismmatory language" One
unlaoky fellow was hanged because he
happened to>i6ok like somebody else. Ten
appear to have been hanged on general
In the community, because Of the color Of
their SKINS or because there was no bet
ter hanging material handy. The reason.
probably, why the impression Is prevalent
that lynohings have increased is that
they get more publicity than they used
to- This Is one reason, too. no doubt why
they have as matter OF fact diminished.

A PHOENICIAN ABROAD
The Trouble MT. W. B. Adams Is
 Having at Los Angeles.

A former prominent resident of PhOe- nix and the Salt River valley is having his attention distracted from the re- suit of the election next Tuesday. The Los Angeles Times of d late date says of MT. Adams diversion:
 w. B. Adams was made defendant yesterday in a 5000 damage suit begun by Miss Dora Usher, crstwhile proprie- tress of the Adams Hotel, situated at the corner of Third and Main streets in this city. Miss Usher alleges that she has been subjected to gross insult from the defendant.
 She ayers that on the 23d inst. Adams, without reason, became angry with her, and, taking the keys of the hotel from her, ordered her out of the house and attempted with force and violence to eject her, She resisted, whereupon he is alleged to have 5s- sailed her with obscene and disrespect- full language.
 For four days thereafter until the 27th inst, it is alleged. Adams. without justification, forced himself into the rooms of Miss Usher, and in her apart ments insulted her with varied lam SuttSt anu ciSSduilttl IlSI ny IdhlIlS lltiNl of her in rude and violent way, mak- ing the worst sort of an indecent pro posal to her, and threatening her, un- less she would comply with his demands. that she should be deprived of the occupancy of the hotel and all her goods and possessions thrown into the street.
 "On the 25th inst, says Miss Usher's complaint, Adams went into her apart ments again by force and moved a great portion of her furniture into the hail. at the same time traducing her, and ordering her off the premises.
 All these episodes, Miss Usher all leges, made her sick in mind and body, and greatly annoyed and humilia ted her to her damage ill $5,000. In order to throw her out upon the street, she says, Adams actually took the door of her room off it's hinges and made it impossible for her to stay in her de- nuded apartments.
 Miss Usher is also suing Adams in the township court for $29s, alleged 10 be due for services rendered as man. ager of his hotel. She pleads q con tract, wherein it was agreed that she should receive as her remuneration half the profits and a reasonable price for manual work, but she waived any thing over $299 that may be coming to berp

TARGET OF QUESTIONS
The Audience In One Instance Want. ed to Know About North Caro- lima, and One Man Almost Preoip- itated Riot by Raising the Question of Trusts-Saved by Po- lice Interference.

Chicago, Nov. 2.-William J. Bryan's programme in Chicago today was com posed of twelve speeches. The crowds that greeted him were greater than those at the meetings of yesterday and last night. The candidate began his Itinerary at Handel hall in the down. town business district. near the public library, where he spoke to large gathering of workmen. Later on he made addre sses in the old Vienna pa vilion at Sixl.feth street and Cottage Grove avenue. one to a crowd in the building and the other to tihrong that was unable to gain adnrittance.
 T1here was no semblance of trouble manifest. The audience asked all most simultaneously: How about North Carolina?' and Mir. Bryan was replying when one of the questioner-5 insisted on asking a question concern ing trusts, whereupon the crowd de- manied that he be thrown out and threatened ito lynch him. Mir Bryan insisted on answering. however. but. to the uproar made by the crowd in expressing its resentment toward th9 questioper. The latter was saved from violenc6 only by police interference.
 MT. Bryant5 night meetings were held on the north, west, south and southwest sides Vf the city. the closing speech being made at midnight at State and Thirty sixth streets.

GEN. SIMPSONS WORK
Aiding the Candidacy for Congress of
 President Garfeld's Son.

General Archibald J. Sampson
 of Phoenix, minister to Ecuador, is
 stumping Ohio for the state and
 national republican ticket He has been assigned by the state committee
 to work on the Western Reserve. and
 two weeks ago was aiding the canvass of State Senator John R. Garfield, son of President Garfield. who is a candi- date for congress. The Warren Chron- icle, describing d. meeting at West Huntington, at which which Congress- man McCalla of Massachusetts and General Sampson were the principal speakers. says:
 General Sampson made the dry bones of democracy rattle some when he poured his hot shot among their numerous issues. He spoke a few words to the first voters, who are about to cast their first ballot for president. in which he urged upon them the fact of choosing wisely. and the responsi- bility rested upon them. He stated for three years he had been able to view the growth of the United States from d foreign standpoint, and l am glad that it stands higher today than ever before respected and feared by all. It is with pride that I can say that | am an American citizen. The prcsi- dent of Ecuador. one of the finest edu- cated men in South America, on my leaving for home said: MT. Minister, wonder at the development of your country, and congratulate through you, his excellency. the president, Will jam Mckinley The paramount issue is imperialism, says Mir. Bryan, while the truth is Is to 1 is the issue. Work ingJaw Bryan does not believe what he talks about the various isms. and IS not an honest man. He said he WAS for 16 to 1, when 16 vessels of foreign | nation could be destroyed, to the loss of only one of ours. He thought the American soil was not the right kind to produce imperialism, or it would have done so in the years of the late rebellion.'

A YOUTHFUL WANDERBR
A Persona non Grata Among His
 Relatives.

A boy, who said he was 20, but looked as if he might be not more than IA. was in poIce court yesterday. His name $ Frank Leach, and he is badly crippled. the victim of a raiIroal wreck. Half of his left hand is gone, leaving part of the palm and the thumb, an insight ly claw. A web of skin ana flesh con- nects the upper arm near it's middle 'VIth the middle of the forearm. He was first noticed here by the police about two weeks ago, arl was then asscciat- ing with hobos. He gave d reasonably good account of himself and was not arrested until yesterday morning. He said he had q job, dependent upon the arrival of a flock of goats, which he had been employed to herd. about twenty-five miles northeast of the city. The goats are not on the ground, but arc coming and are expected on the range about November F.
 A curious part of the boys story Is his experience with his relatives. His father and stepmother reside in Mis- souri, and about four years ago drove him away from home. He then went to the home of his uncle. who is worth s75,O00, and lives in another part of the state. He remained there one night. In the morning his wealthy uncle gave him q pair of shoes and said good bye.
 There was another member of the family. an aunt, living somewhere in California. He finally reached her home and remained there a week, when she intima ted that the season for him to move on had approached. He had another uncle living near Mesa. this territory. d well known and prosperous farmer His name is not herein given for perhaps the boy lied. He said he arrived at his uncle's about d month ago and staid there a week. One morning his uncle gave him $1.50 and told him to call again some time. The boy did not know precisely what he meant and the uncle explained that he was having trouble with his partner. beside some financial perpleXities All these things preyed upon his mind SO that he could not give his nephew proper attention. Then he came to Phoenix. He was found guilty of vaG- rancy but allowed to go if he would take himself out of the country and not finger around for the goat contract to begin. iS
