TO PREVENT LYNcHING.

1t has been proven in Illinois that
the way to stop lynchings Is to stop
them; that if the officers do their duty
promptly and theoretically there will
be decrease of lynch law. Recently
a vigorous attempt was made in Illi-
nois to lynch man accused of crime,
when he was brought to the county
seat for trial-he having been spirited
away by the sheriff to avoid the mob.
Governor Yates promptly sent COM
pany of state guards to the scene, who
guarded the prisoner until he was safe
ly in the state penitentiary.
Another case illustrates better than
this the value of an efficient sheriff. A
negro was in Jail at Galesburg, charg-
ed with murder. Threats of lynching
were made and mob gathered, but
the sheriff was prepared for them and
the prisoner was protected and remov-
ed to another county for safe keeping.
Not only did the sheriff protect the
prisoner from the would-be lynchers,
but he noted who were the ringleaders
of the mob and swore out warrants for
their arrest. One of them was a man
from Ohio who was visiting
in Galesburg, and not quail.
fled by legal residence to
NEEDLE with the execution of laws in
Illinois, Nevertheless he melted the
mob and advised the killing of the
sheriff. He was convicted and SEN
fenced to pay fine of 500 and to
serve one year in Jail. Others will be
Cried on similar charges and there is
fonsternation among the citizens OF
chat county.
A few such examples as these will
enave the effect to cool the ardor Of
would-be lynchers in any section.

Ing strenuous endeavors to run the
city of Ottumwa, the occurrence of
Thursday evening would be convinc-
ing evidence. Where unrestricted
gambling houses and other places OF
that character are allowed to operate
in the manner that they are in Ottum-
wa there will be but little doubt of the
result being much worse than the re-
cent dastardly attempt upon the lives
of three inoffensive citizens.
1t is said that the crowd who are
charged with doing the work was cell
ebrating, the occasion for the display
of feeling being the heavy winning by
one of the number of large sum of
money. He collected his friends, a
goodly portion of whisky and ended
up at livery stable after having been
forced to forego the pleasure of furth-
er abusing team of horses. Angered
with the attempt of the owner to pro-
tect his property, the evidence, SO far
as given, shows that one of their num-
Der was sent to the stable to see if
the force of men were of sufficient
number to offer resistance to an at
tack. This brings in the element of
generalization, which, in law, is given

taken into account in no uncertain
manner when the matter is sifted in
the courts. The climax to the drama
ended almost in tragedy. Two men
were brutally beaten absolutely with
out provocation and stabbed with
knives in the hands of desperate men,
all of whom are now in Jail in default
of bonds in the sum of $4,000 each
awaiting trial on the charge of assault
with intent to commit murder. And
does anybody believe that they did
not intend to commit murder? A
careful review of the testimony of
those who saw the outrage and the
wounds of both men will convince any
sane person that the men who struck
the blows, struck to kill
Every bubble in the law will be

Ottumwa needs to be regenerated,
She deserves something more than a
spasmodic attempt at municipal house

low degree need to be shown to the
city limits and given to understand In
a manner that admits Off controversy
that their room is far preferable to
their company. The saloons are an
evil that are legalized under the stat
utes and go in hand with the gambling
houses, but they should be made to

them life and protection, and perhaps

T. Mayor John Knish. City Marshal G, h. Compton, I. Rudderman the Denver Tailor and Mir.

Cohn, who was sick during his entire trip, and came home to find that his place of business had been broken into and rob bed. A double -barreled shot gun, a 22-calibre rife and a ij Colts revolver were taken in the light artillery line. A number of feather pillows, several quilts and a feather bed were also talk en. There were number of trinkets. 6ewelry, etc, in the showcases, but they mere near the front door and the thief was evidently afraid of being seen from hhe street. as nothing in that line was taken except a silver hunting case watch, which was laying outside the ease on a stand. The thief entered through the rear door by breaking a screen door and unfastening 1t, and then breaking the glass in the door and then unlocking it, the key having been left in the lock on the inside of the door. The door was also fastened with mails. which were forced loose. In view of the number and bulk of the articles uaken the thief must have had wagon waiting to carry away the spells Sus- picion is directed against the St. Johns iboys, whose escapades and flight from justice were described in this column some time ago. He inquired of War ner ,who keeps a grocery store next door to Cohn's, where the second hand man was. He was told that he was at Agua Caliente. Some time afterward he was found pounding vigorously upon the back door, Upon being asked what he was doing he said he wanted to see the old man and was reminded by Warner in rather vigorous language that he had told him of Cohn's where abouts. Neither MT. Warner nor Mr. schmidt, who owns the harness shop on the opposite side of the second hand store, noticed anything wrong about the place. Cohn will pay a reward of Sl0 for information which will lead to the apprehension of the guilty party or the recovery of the goods stolen.
