LISTENED TO REASON
RAILROAD EMPLOYEES BENT ON
LYNCHING DESIsT.
Negro Object Of Their Wrath Will
Be Dealt with According
to Law.

Fort Smith, Ark, Aug. 27-Louis
Smith, the IS year old negro, whom a
mob tried to reach in the county Jail
here last night, was saved from lynch
ing through the pleading Of the father
Of Lucy Watson, the little white girl
assaulted by Smith. The assault was
committed a week ago but did not be-
come generally known until last night.
AS the news spread that the negro was
confined in the county Jail, a mob,
composed principally of railroad en-
ployes, started for the court house,
where a council was had as to the
best means of obtaining possession of
Smith. Before a plan had been agreed
upon, Watson appeared and advised
the mob to permit the law to take its
course. This unlocked for action on
the part Of the father put a damper
upon the mob's intention. In the
meantime Smith was hurried by the
police from the flimsey jail to the fed
cray prison. There is little excite
ment here today and M further trou-
BILE is probable.

Next Season Will Bring Thousands

st. Paul, Aug. 28-Information Sc
cured by immigration agents for the
northern coast lines is ground for the
prediction that the spring movement
of $4,000 settlers to North Dakota,
Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Wash
ington will be exceeded next spring
by 20 per cent.
Reports of satisfactory crops
througout the west nave greatly
stimulated inquiry for land and OPP
portunities for stock, fruit and grain
ventures. Next spring, immigration
agents predict, will bring the heayi-
est settlement of western lands quail
flied for irrigation eve experienced.
Both the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific are advertising ex-
tensively the vast agricultural posi-
bilities of tracts formerly termed
desert in western North Dakota and
| Montana, and Montana especially has
recently gone to heavy expense to
| carry out a satisfactory test of power
of such lands to grow heavy crops.
The summer months have brought
numerous inquiries for ranch lands in
western North Dakota, and many
men will stock sheep ranches next
spring.
Private interests are now making
starts for the ''artesian belt" suppos-
ed to traverse eastern Montana in a
northerly direction. 1t is believed that
wells can be secured with sufficient
supply of water to maintain reser-
voirs from which farmers may draw
water for irrigation. Plans of exten,
sive colonization in this belt will be
carried into effect if water is found,

A~cCIDENTLY KILLED.

Inspector Josey Shot Himself While
Looking for Chicken Thieves.
Tucson, Ariz., Aug. BIB. F. Josey,
United States Chinese inspector, was
a%ccidently killed this morning at his
home in this city. Having heard a
disturbance among his poultry he took
a shotgun and went to investigate.
While he was mounting a step ladder
his gun was discharged. The fact
that he was accused of completely in
the Chinese smuggling at Nogales
aroused suspicious of suicide, but
these were absolutely dispelled by the
evidence brought out at the inquest.
Josey came from Americas, Ga, and
was appointed to his position under
President Cleveland.

alleged to have made, to the effect
that he would " throw her in the

that he was ill but made an appoint
ment to meet her next Monday. She
then went to Archbishop Corrigan
but he was out of town. When Mrs.
Nation entered police headquarters
she was shown at once to Commits
sioner Murphy's room In opening
her interview with the commissioner
she said she had called on him for
an account of his stewardship and
asked if he did not think New York
was an awful wicked place. The
commissioner replied in the negative
and Mrs. Nation repeated the ques-
ton as an assertion, whereupon Mr.
Murphy requested her to stop, saying
he would not discuss the matter with
her. She continued, however, to ply
the commissioner with questions con-
corning drinking places, all Of which
he refused to answer. Mrs. Nation
said she had come here to do the city

''What do you mean to say that
you won't discuss good morals in New

Mrs. Nation then addressed Mr.. Muir

sioner warmly resented. But the
Kansas reformer persisted.
Father, don't you think a little
