"Close the door" signs have
made their appearance with the
colder weather. In their haste,
many people have one very bad
habit, that of not stopping to see
that the door is securely closed.
One is sitting in warm atmosphere
and in comes a friend from the out
side. On his way he leaves the
door open and the warm atmosphere
is at once chilled. Nature rebels,
but the harm is done. 1t is one of
the little details that all will do we'll
to remember.

Stockmen at Lookout, CAL, Hang
Men Charged with Petty Lar.
ceny to a Bridge.
TAKE THEM FROM JAIL At MIDNIGHT.
His Three SOns-No Ceremony
Marked the Action-Constable Un-
able to Save the Men from their
Fate. ~

thieves were lynched at midnight at
Lookout, Modoc county, q district
which has always been noted for
quiet and good order. The lynching
was done by 50 small stock raisers,
but none of the vigilantes were
identified by the constables and his
one assistant, whom they overpow-
cred.
Calvin Hall, aged ~, his three half
bred sons, Frank, aged 26; Jim, aged
10, and Martin, aged 16, and Dan
1antis, aged a., were the victims. l.
Stolen Articles Found. L.
The charge against Halls sons and
Yantis was burglary, while against
Hall it was petty larceny. Many
small articles had been missed re-
Gently, among others hay forks, barb
wire and harness. These were found
in Halls house, along with halters,
dishes and table cloths. All five
were arrested and taken to Adm, the
county seat. of Modoc county, and
placed in charge of the constable and
one guard.
Taken from Jail.
Fifty masked men, heavily armed,
took the prisoners from Jail soon
after midnight and within few min
utes the five bodies were hanging
from bridge near the Jail. The
vigilantes quietly assembled before
the building where the victims were
confined and there was little indica-
ton of organization or leadership.
Inside the building Hall and his sons
were quietly sleeping. One of the
constables in charge of the men was
called to the door, and as he opened
it he was quickly seized and a rush
made for the prisoners. No opposi-
ton was encountered and the men
were quickly hurried to the open air.
ate struggle and was killed before
the bridge was reached.
No Mercy Shown.
Old man Hall was the first one
strung up. No ceremony marked the
action. The rope was simply thrown
. around his neck and 20 willing hands
grasped it and jerked the unfortunate
man from his feet. The loose end
was tied to a convenient fence post
, and the victim, with his hands and
feet tied, was left to strangle. The
execution of the other men was prac-
tically repetition of that of the
elder Hall.
Scene of the Tragedy.
Lookout is in the Hot Springs val
ley on the Pitt river. The residents
are nearly all cattle raisers in mod
crate circumstances. Several weeks
ago Sheriff Hager, of Modoc county,
was killed by his team running away
and since that time there have been
many breaches of the law in that
locality. Hager was terror to the
rustlers and had succeeded in the
years he held Office of sheriff in ef-
fectually suppressing thieves, who
in the past had preyed upon the cat
tie of the ranchers.

ment was made that "a friend had

only upon like amount being raised

Mr.. Arehbold is president of the
board of trustees of the Syracuse uni
versity and a close friend Of Chan
cellor Day. This gift followed long
series of annual gifts of from $4,000
to 100000 made by the same man in
similar anonymous manner.
The sum realized from these bene-
factions will be applied to wipe ont
the floating debt on the university
property and to establish an endow-
ment fund. Chancellor Day will start
to raise the amount equal to this
anonymous donation. A part of the
amount, he said, was already in sight.
and the whole will probably be raised
within a year.

Noyoye Yremya, probably inspired,
emphasized the frequent accord be

whose declarations from the begin
ming and common action In withdraw
ing their troops show that they are
pursuing the same aims
The paper continued in part: ITO
avoid sowing dlscOrd among the dip
lomats. Russia did not then raise the
question whether further operations
were necessary
The Noyoye Eremya concluded its
statements, automatically yet sugges-
lively. saying:
Nov, however. as the note has
been ratified the conditions have so
completely changed that should the
United States make the friendly pro-
posals suggested. we would not, prob
ably be wrong if we supported
them"
While the diplomatic feeling had
not been interrupted and the above
question had not been formally dis
cussed between the two cabinets, it
was known here that Russia was
earnestly opposed to further military
operations in China.

ARMY BILL PASSED SENATE.
If Lit Becomes Law, the Cantsen VIII Bs
Wiped Quito Go to Con-

Washington. Jan. 19.-The senate
finally passed the army reorganiza-
ton bill The measure having orig
mated in the senate, the final aues-
ton was not upon its passage but
upon agreeing to the senate amend
ments. They were agreed to by
vote of 43 to %. While party lines
were drawn ON the measure, four
Democrats voted for it, Senators
Lindsay, of Kentucky; McLaurin,
of South Carolina; Morgan. of
Alabama, and Sullivan, of Missis-
sippi. Senator Hoar, of Massachu-
sets, who was detained at his home
by Illness, was paired against the bill
with Senator spooner, of Wisconsin,
The bill occupied almost the entire
attention of the senate since the Sd of
January, when it was made the un-
finished business. While the oppo-
sition to it at all stages was vigorous
it never was bitter Numerous
amendments were made to it, but the
committee was almost generally sus=
tanned, and the measure, with the ex-
ception Of the elimination of the can
teen clause, Is not widely different
from that reported to the senate.
4 determined effort was made to
amend the bill so as to provide
against the sale of liquor in the Phil
ippines and to prohibit the importa-
ton of any kind of intoxicants into
the islands, but it was defeated
Some of the speakers opposed it
on the ground, expressed by them. of
leaving the matter for the Philippines
commission to deal with
A notable speech was delivered By
Mr.. Hale. of Maine, who. while OPP
posing the increase in the strength
of the army stated cogently his rea-
sons for supporting the bill
Every effort to prevent the Increase
In the strength of the army was de
feated by decisive majority.
As the bin originated in the senate
1t will have to go to the conference

branches of congress.
