Negro Murderer Hanged and then
Burned at Terre haute.
JAIL DOORS BATTERED IN BY A MOB
Confessed to Shooting and StabbIns Miss Id
finkIestine, Schoolteacher, Yesterday
She Died From Her Wounds.

Terre Haute, Ind. Feb. 28.-At
l2:45 O'Clock today, George Ward,
negro employe of the car works, was
taken from Jail, hanged and then
burned for the murder of Miss Ida
Flnklestein, late yesterday afternoon.
Miss Finklestein was a teacher in q
school near the outskirts of the city,
and was on her way home from school
when a negro sprang out from a clump
OF bushes and gave chase. After run.
ming short distance the negro over
took his victim and shot her. Then
he cut her throat. robbed her of her
pocket book, containing So. and fed.
More dead than alive, the school
mistress staggered to her home, half
mile distant. She told her story and
then relapsed into unconsciousness.
At midnight she died.
Public indignation was tremendous
and posses were at once organized and
scoured the country in all directions,
searching for the negro. Early today
Ward was arrested on su spicion. At
first he denied any knowledge of the
crime. but later confessed, saying the
girl had taunted him about his color,
and had slapped him in the face, and
in fit of anger he had shot her and
then cut her throat.
Ward ,Nas placed in Jail. and as soon
as the fact became known, a crowd be.
gan assembling before the structure.
By noon hundreds of people surged
in the street in front of the Jail de.
manding that Ward be delivered to
them. Suddenly the crowd rushd at
the Jail door, and in moment had
battered it down They were driven
back, however. by Jailer O'Donnell,
who fred shotgun several times over
their heads. Three deputy sheriffs
received slight injuries from the
charges of shot, but none of the mob
was hurt.
Arrangements we're at once made to
take the prisoner before the court at
o'clock to be sentenced. This was
announced to the mob. but did not
appease it. At 1896 the mob again
rushed at the battered front door of the
Jail and swept all resistance aside.
Ward was found crouching in q cell,
and was dragged out. A rope was
placed around his neck and he was
dragged to the wagon bridge across the
Wabash river three blocks away, and
hanged to a bridge stringer.
On the way to the bridge the victim
was beaten with sticks and shot at by
mem bers of the mob and he was un.
conscious when hanged and in all
probability dead. When the body was
dropped from tie bridge one strand of
the rope broke and the leaders of the
mob, thinking that their victim might
drop into the river. hauled the body up
again and it was dragged to the west
side of the river and burned.
There was no attempt at disguise on
the part of any member of the mob
In all the crowd not one word of sym.
pathy for the wretch was to be heard.
though many deprecated the final act
of burning.
1t is estimated that $500 people
formed the mob.

STATE PRISON f|R[|
Penitentiary at Lincoln. Nebraska,
Burning.
THE coNVlcrs WERE SAFELY REMOVED
local Militia Ordered Out as Measure Of Pre-.
eaution-At Late Hour the f,re
Was Not Under Control.

Lincoln, Neb., March 2.-Fire which
started in the satte penitentiary last
night seems certain to destroy the en-.
tire main building, together with the
cellhouse and other buildings. Just
after 2 O'Clock this morning telephone
message came, saying the room in
which the telephone instrument was
located was in flames. and must be
vacated. This cuts of the only mean s
of immediate Communication with the
prison, which is nearly four miles
from the business district of the city.
Between and O'Clock. however, q
member of the Lincoln fire department
telephoned that the penitentiary proper
was doomed and that tho fire was
spreading. Before the flames had
gained great headway. Warden Daivs
gave orders to release the convicts
from the cells and march them to the
prison yard under double guard. The
removal was accomplished without dis.
order.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
When first discovered, the officers Of
the institution all set to work with the
small fre.6ghting apparatus of the
prison. Water was used in abundance,
but assistance from the city fire de.
partment was called for. A short time
after midnight Warden Davis said he
did not have the fire under control. but
he could not tell how bad it was burn
ing in the upper story. and at the front
OF the building its spread was slow.
Later the report came that the fire was
q very bad one.
At lao A. NJ. the city fire depart
mont arrived. and began throwing
water on the walls. The flames had
gained too great heaoway, however,
and the fremen directed their efforts
to saving of the remote buildinas.

licsmen to aid in preserving order.

DEwET HAS ESCAPED.
Crossed Orange River With Bulk Of
His Commando.

''oS ''vos WIN DUN Ov
His Commando.
LONDON. March 5.-General Dewet
lost heavily in men and stores by his
incursion into Cape Colony, but he
seems to have made a clever escape
with the bulk of his commando. Ap-
parently Commandant Hertzog crossed
the Orange river with him.
General Hamilton, who was pursu.
ing. heard that General Dewet was
surrounded at Phillipstown, northwest
OF Colesburg. On arriving there he
found the Beers had not been at
Phillipstown at all. but had doubled
back and were struggling across the
liver at Colesburg. Apparently this
is another instance of defective intel.
ligence regarding the doings of the
Beers.
The Daily Telegraph has a dispatch
from Colesburg dated yesterday, which
says:
Numerous columns are still hunt
ing for Dewet. This place is In q
hubbub. and the troops are marching
on in various trains to press the
pursuit further"

Seventeen Rescued.
SILVER CREEK, N. Y, March g.
Twenty-one fishermen were carried
out on Lake Erie, of Silver Creek, to.
night on floating ice, but II of them
were rescued.
The last seen of the four men they
were still on the ice, but high wind
was blowing up big sea, and the ice
was fast breaking up. They were
about four miles out, and there was
a mile of open water between them
and the shore. When it was found
that the men were cut of from shore
this morning message was sent to
Dunkirk by the mayor asking for
assistance.
A special train was made up, and
a party of rescuers brought boat on
a fat car. They worked heroically
all day. The II who were rescued
were taken of the floating ice with
great difficulty. They said that their
comrades probably perished, as they
were in perilous positions.

The Demands Of Russia Embarrass
the Chinese.
PEkIN, March 4.-Prince Ching
and Ii Hung Chang met this morn
ing and had a long consultation over
the new demands Of Russia regard
ing Manchuria, which virtually mean
absolute Russian control, while at
the same time China would be re-
sponsible should anything go wrong
there. Both of the Chinese pleni-
potentiaries admit that they fear to
refuse these demands, although rec
ognizing that compliance means the
loss of a province to China. They
also think that compliance might
mean trouble with other powers. for
Russia announces that only Russians
and Chinese will be allowed to trade
there, except at the greatest disad-
vantage. Prince Ching will request
the advice of the other ministers.

FOR SMALL SETTLERS.
Congress Begins to Understand
National Irrigation.

WASHINGTON, March Con
gress is beginning to recognize that
the national irrigation propaganda is
not a scheme to irrigate vast tracts
of private lands at public expense,
thereby putting money into the hands
of spectators and those already well
able to take care of themselves; but
that it contemplates the reclamation
and putting upon the land of bona
f1de settlers-home builders. When
this idea becomes firmely grounded
in the minds of eastern men-that
the land is not to be reclaimed and
then jobbed away in large tracts,
but that it is to be safe-guarded SO
that it will become available for the
small settler who wants to take up
forty or eighty acres, and build
home upon it and stick his plow into
the soil and let the water follow his
furrow, then there will be very little
opposition to storing, by the govern
ment, of the flood waters of the west,
so as to make it available for such

Clark county fruit men are apprehen-

continues long enough to endanger
the fruit crop. There is some danger
of the trees budding out under the
influence of continued warm weather
to such an extent that freeze or a
continued cold rain a month later
would prove disastrous. Up to this
time the winter has been most faOvr-
able for the orchards, and the pros
poets for a big crop the coming

WASHINGTON March 4.-Carrying
out the policy inaugurated by the
state department when 1t changed its
military force in China into a lega-
ton guard, the war department has
sent orders to General Chaffee to re-
duce still further his force. The
general has now under his command
about 1900 men, composed of Troops
I, X, L and M, Sixth Cavalry; Battery
F, Fifth Artillery. and the Ninth In
fantry. Although nominally lega.
tion guard, General Chaffee's force

ment sometime ago determined upon
further reduction of the American
force, and the orders went forward.
Considerable discression was left
to General Chaffee In the selection
of the troops to remain, and 1t Is
assumed at the departmnt that the
Pekin dispatches announcing that
these consist of two companies of the
Ninth Infantry, under Major Robert
son, Is correct. II the other powers
represented at Pekin can be induced
to follow this policy, 1t is hoped that
a long step will have been effected
toward the restoration Of normal con-
ditions at Pekin.

ton to have the committee visit ports
In those states, and the Oregon dele
cation will unite In an invitation

the importance of overcoming the
distractions at The Dalles and Cello.

vitation may be supplemented by
others from chambers of commerce
and similar bodies of Portland and
other Oregon cities.

also planned q Pacific Coast trip.
They expect to visit the important
points and army posts on the coast.

Chinese are ready to agree to some
arrangement for settling this mat
ter"
"The Russians are taking advantage
of the existing situation and ar
pressing Ii Hung Chang hard to

Of the Times. More than one power
besides Japan and Englend have re-
monstrated with China against the ne
