SHERIFF ovERPowERED AND
TWO NEGRO5 LYNcHED.
CLAIM 10 Be INNOCENT
One Of the Victims a Leader in
the Church Of God"
Movement.

Shreveport, La, June 19-Frank,
better known as Prophet" Smith AMI
r. ID. McLand, held at Benton for
completely in the murder Of John
Grey Foster, were taken out by a mob
tonight and strung up to a tree. They,
were left dangling side by side.
The lynching occurred on the Arkan-
q road about one mile and a. half
from the Jail. Both negroes made
statements before death denying that
they had anything to do with the
killing.
Smith, who was head Of the Church
Of God" movement in that section
was blamed as being responsible for
the sentiment against the whites
which led to the death Of Foster.
Smith died praying. McLand was
silent as he was strung up.
AS Smith was being led from the
jail prior to execution he was heard
to say: Lord, you promised to be
with me now"
There were about 200 armed men
IN the mob and they overpowered the
sheriff and jailer, taking the keys
away from them. The lynchers
claimed that the execution Of these
negroes was necessary to the preser-
walton of the lives of the white men
in this locality.

AN UNLIKELY STORY
Correspondent Tells Of Alleged
Demand on Denmark By
America,

London, June 19-The Copenhagen
correspondent Of the Daily Mail ca.
bles his paper, saying that the United
States has sent another letter to Den
mark in the matter of the sale of the
Danish West Indies to the effect that
il Denmark is not willing to sell the
islands, the United States must de-
mand that Denmark fortify and gar
rison the islands of st. Thomas and
st. John which would command the
Nicaraguan canal.
The situation is regarded seriously
here. as Denmark cannot dream of
undertaking the erection Of fortifica-
tions and maintenance Of garrisons,
which would cost several millions.

Magee was placed in the county jai,
today charged with numbering his
wife, his 6-year-old child, Calvin, AMI
his wife's mother, Mrs. Mary Hersh-
berger, the morning of May %.
The accused was the only living
witness of a fire in which the three
victims persisted. Magee remained
alone around the fire until the house
was consumed, and then drove four
miles to this city before raising the
alrm. The fact that. he escaped with
all Of his clothing, and that he was the
beneficiary of $4,000 insurance upon
his wife's life led to his arrest.
At the coroner's inquest Magee ut
terly refused to give any testimony.
Magee at one time was a member of
the Watseka city council and has
heretofore borne a fair reputation. !,

In Art Circles of Butte.

Perhaps the first Of the artists now
resident here is Miss Florence Z. Cooney,
Of GA West Park street. Miss Cooney
is a graduate Of the Art Institute at
Chicago. where she has spent the last
few years in arduous study perfecting
herself in technique. while at the same
time giving much attention to the d.
versif1ed treatment Of incident and seem
ic effect by the old and modern masters
Miss Cooney will open a pretty studio
at her home on or about the 1st Of
October. where she will direct her classes
after the accepted mode Of the eastern
institutes.
! Miss Bernice S. Cox, who has a studio
at 18 West Broadway. Is another local
tartist Of considerable promise. A num-
Sber Of large paintings on exhibition at
the studio are OF no mean merit. Es-
3pecially true IL this Of several Of the
landscapes, one Of which, some six feet
by four. shows cataract plunging
through a rocky defile, with dense woods
on either side. The contrast Of the
darkened forest with the white spray
Of the leaping water lends to the pic
ture an effect beautiful in the extreme.
Miss Cox has a number Of pupils in
her classes. many Of whom show rare
promise. There are many youngsters
with ages ranging from seven to four

FIRE FIGHTERS OF THE
STATE WILL MEET IN
ANNUAL CONVENTION
AT MISSOULA. - = 1T
WILL BE THE LARGEST
GATHERING OF THE
KIND IN MOUNTAINS
HISTORY. - - - -

- N A convention, which promises to be
the largest of it's kind ever held in
the state, the fire laddies Of Montana
will assemble at Missoula, Wednes-
day, Oct. 2. The affair will be the
regular annual gathering Of the Montana
State Firemen's association which will be
in session four days, concluding Oct. 5.
Delegates from the eight principal fire
departments of the state will be attend
ance, In addition to members of the city
councils of the various cities and others
interested In the matter Of fighting fire
for the protection of lives and property.
The convention will be formally opened
by Mayor Stevens Of Missoula, who will
turn the keys Of the town over to his
visitors. All the usual convention busi-
ness, including the election of officers to
serve during the ensuing year, will be
transacted and the place of meeting for
the following year decided upon. In ad-
dition there will be several displays OF
various fire fighting apparatus, practi-
cal demonstration of the handling of fire
and a discussion Of all modern appli-
ances and methods for the benefit of all.
Since the last convention, held at Hell
ena, there have been many improvements
In the fire departments of the various
cities and towns throughout the state.
In every instance the benefits accruing
to the departments and to the public
have been numerous and in some in
stances more SO in than in others. The
result is that some of the fire depart
ments are further advanced than others
in the matter of fighting flames, and it is
these who will, by discussion of the
methods employed by them. acquaint
those not so far advanced, with all the
details of what experience has taught.
Even those not so far advanced, gen.
orally speaking, have learned some
things which are not known by the more
up to- date departments and what theory
and practice they will have to contribute
to the convention, will be of interest and
value to all the other delegates.
In the matter of appliances and appa-
ratus, the convention will have the adj
vantage of several exhibits of manufac-
utrers Experts will handle the devices
and will demonstrate their uses. Thus
every delegate will, at the conclusion of
the convention. return to his respective
home department, with the knowledge
that he has attended a school of practi-
cal instruction and learned much that
will be of value to him and his subor-
dinates, in protecting the lives and prop
erty of the citizens of his city or town, as
the case may be.
When the convention is brought to an
end, which will be after the next meeting
place has been decMed upon. the dele
gates will enjoy an excursion to Ham,
llton. there to be the guests of the city
for a day or possibly two days. That will
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-09-21

be Oct. 5. After that the delegates will
return to their respective homes to again
assume charge of their various duties
and the convention Of 1901 will be a
thing of the past and the convention of
1902 thing to be looked forward to.
There seems to be a strong impression
that the next convention will be held in
Billings. In that event Chief ]. G. Bond,
of Billings, will be the next president of
the Montana State Firemen's association.
That will be following the usual Gus
tom, to have the president of the asso-
citation resident of the place in which
the next convention will be held. 1t is
done as a matter of courtesy and con-
venience and for other reasons. The
present president of the association is
Chief e. w. Walling, of Missoula. He
will be i'm the chair at the coming con-
vention and will not give way to his sue
cessor until the gathering of next year
cOnvenes.
In addition to having a president the
association has eight ice-presidents,
secretary and treasurer. The choice Of
the secretary and treasurer is made at
random, from the delegates in attend
ance, but the choice of the vice-presi-
dents is made so that each of the cities
represented has one. There are just eight
fire departments from as many cities
represented.
The present secretary Is e. c. Mix, OF
Missoula, and the present treasurer is
George Lapp, of Butte. The vice-presi.
dents are: First, Chief ]. c. Bond. Of
Billings: second, ex-Chief J. F. O'Con-
nell. of Helena: third. Chief Peter Sanger
of Butte; fourth, Chief Samuel French.
of Great Falls; fifth, Chief r. 8. Mem
trun of Anaconda: sixth. J. "A. Munger,
of Bozeman; seventh. Chief J. c. Bepp,
of Lewiston. and eighth. f. Bender, Of
Livingston. All will be delegates to the
coming convention. as will be Chief p.

CURSORY review Of the art CIR

the ranks Of the amateurs. as well Be-
