Upton, Ind, March Am alleged case
of criminal assault has aroused the people
or Upton to wild pitch of excitement, and
tonight a company of militia is on guard
to prevent lawless measures by the people.
r. II. Edmonds, sixty-five years old, and
hitherto held in good repute is under ar
rest, accused by Marguerite, the twelve
year-old daughter of w. r. Ross, of trying
to assault her on Friday last. The accusa-
ton was kept from the public until to-day.
The girl asserts that Edmonds went to
the home of the Rosses on Friday morn
ing while she was alone and asked to use
the telephone. He inquired If she was alone.
and on being told that she was, she says
that he clasped her in his arms and re-
peatedly kissed her and bit her lips. She
states that he made other advances, but
that she becme frightened, fought him off
and escaped from the house. When Mrs.
Ross returned home and her daughter told
her of the alleged assault she tainted. On
her recovery Mrs. Ross. 1t is alleged, pro-
cured a revolver and sought Edmonds but
was too weak and excited to continue the
pursuit. The child's lips are, swollen and
the imprints of teeth are visible upon them.
AS the day progressed the lynching spirit
grew to such a high pitch that Edmonds
was arrested and lodged in Jail for protec-
tion late this evening. Sheriff Schulenberg
communicated with Governor Durbin. who
ordered Captain Barlow, of the local Ma
tional Guard to assemble his company at
the armory and rest there, subject to the
call of the sheriff A strong guard has been
thrown around the jail. and each officer
has been ordered to shoot to kill If an as
sault is made. The sheriff will protect the
prisoner at all hazards. Mr.. Ross has ad-
vised his friends to do nothing rash.

Washington had decked herself as never
before for the second Inauguration of Nc
Kinley and the induction into the vice
presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. She has
been many times a bride. To-day she was
truly regal for her twice-accepted lord. She
was dressed like queen. The committee
in charge had insisted on uniform and har-
monious decorations. The scheme was
superb and it was admirably executed. The
gem of it all was the court of honor. where
the President reviewed the parade. 1t ex-
tended from the treasury building, with its
severe classic facades and columns, to the
state. war and navy building, with its i'm
posing Italian renaissance architecture,
comprising the stretch in front of the ex-
ecutive mansion. Doric columns like meas
ured sentinels stood before the white
rooted stands in which the distinguished
personages were seated, while other COL
umns ran I'm a semi-circle through the
White House grounds. 1t was as beautiful
as the setting in a theater.
THE CEREMONIES.
Only a comparatively Insignificant portion
of the vast multitude saw anything of the
actual Inauguration ceremonies at the Cap
itol. The great unnumbered thousands were
content to wait in the avenue below TO see
the two men on whom the mental attention
of the world was fixed to-day and the great
procession which followed them. The bril-
liant and impressive scene in the Senate
when the Vice President -elect was inducted
into office was reserved for few hun
dreds. The public had no part in it. While
the distinguished audience was gathering
in the Senate chamber the President. in
little side room, was signing the bills which
the dying Congress was sending to him.
When the ceremony in the Senate, lit
tie tedious despite its brilliancy, was over,
the floor and galleries emptied into the
corridors, through which the people jostled
and squeezed into the rotunda and out on

swung open and ''the Vice President-elect

Governor Roosevelt was escorted to his

The officers Of the Arkansas
Valley Sugar Beet and Irrigated
Land Co. are as follows: Presi-
dent, w. L. Pardonuer; Vice Pres
ident, W. T. Lawson; Secretary
and Treasurer, Guy Richards; N.
r. Cottman, Assistant Secretary
aud Treasurer. Capital stock of
the company is 81, $50, 900, all hnv-
ing been underwritten and none is
offered to the public. This COM
pany and the American Beet
Sugar Co. are closely related, but
will operate on Independent lines.
The American Beet Sugar Co.
will purchase the product of the
Arkansas Valley Co. The district
supplied the American Beet Sugar
Co. with heavy tonnage of beets
last year, many farmers having
raised as much as 30 tons to the
acre of beets containing from 16 to
q per cent. sugar. The new COM
pany hopes to commence the erec.
ton of factory next fall, to be
ready for the crop of 1902, and the
plan is to erect two other factories
later, as the company is backed by
strong financial interests and pro-
poses to push the beet sugar in
dustry of this country. Addition
al territory will, no doubt, be ac-
quired, as the work Of develop
ment progresses and the company
promises to become, eventually,
one of the largest concerns of its
kind in the world. Agents are
already at work on the ,coloniza-
ton Of the land by farmers who
have had experience in beet cul-
ture. The Oxnard Construction
Co. makes specially of construct
ing sugar factories, and has built
practically all of the factories of
the American Beet Sugar Co.

Stock Men Belligerent.

Governor Orman, the present
distinguished democratic governor
of this great commonwealth, has
already established his title to the
distinction of being faithful fol-
lower of Jefferson, by violating
every promise that he made to his
political henchmen in this seetion
of the great state Of Colorado. He
promised faithfully that he would
appoint j. N. Beatty, of Otero
county, member of the stock dn-
spection board, and kept his pro
mise by appointing G: +. Patrick,
a Pueblo attorney, to the position;
Mr.. Beatty is n dyed in the wool
democrat, and was recommended
and endorsed by every stock ass0-
ciation in the Arkansas Valley,
but that cuts no ice. The governor
probably had political debts to
nav. and Lawyer Patrick must
needs be rewarded in order that
promises made to the faithful
might be fulfilled.
Yesterday, or the day before,
the governor had chance to "put
his foot in it" again, and did not
neglect or fail to improve the op-
portunity. 1t seems that the stock
inspection board did not see tit to
ncGuiesce in the governors rec
ommendation that Claude II: An,
mis-, of Fort Collins. be appointed
secretary of that organization.
wbereat the gubernatorial head OF
tbis great state was extreme wroth:
Claude is a sixteen.year'old son OF
n prominent, democratic leader OF
Fort Collins, and there were prob
ably some more political debts TO

p preme head Of this great state was
