Adolpb Sandal, whose father, l.. G.
Sandal, lives in Herman, Neb., came
into that village with several compan-
ions from the Rankin ranch. The
crowd proceeded to do the town and
young Sandal, who is only seventeen
years old, got more liquor than he
could carry. He took sick on the way
home. and handing the lines to a com:
panion, he fell to the bottom of the
wagon, where he lay choking and
strangling In n vain effort to cast off
the excessive amount of liquor, and
was probably dead when taken to the
house. The deceased boys, father and
DIR. Fulton were sent for. The doctor
examined the dead boy hastily and
said he thought strangulation the
cause of his death. The Burt coroner
arrived from Oakland and held an in
quest. The jury returned a verdict
that Sandal came to his death by
strangulation while under the in.
fuence of liquor secured from unknown
sources.

George Lane and family, consisting
of his wife, a fourtecn-year-old daugh-
ter and an adopted son, eighteen years
old, have been arrested and lodged in
prison at Pittsburg, Kas., charged
with being leaders of a gang that hos
been systematically robbing. Lane
and his family are prominent in society
and church work. They have q beau
tiful home on West Fourth street
where nearly $1,000 worth of stolen
goods were found. The method in
which they have robbed nearly every
big store in Pittsburg in the past year
and successfully bafiled the police was
carefully planned. The boy would
conceal himself in the store and be
locked In when the store was closed
and then in the night he would open
the rear door, after which the robbery
was easy. The arrest was caused by
the boy being captured in the store
and confessing. Lane is "a contracting
builder and has always been consid-
cred n respectable citizen. 1t is said
that several accomplices in other cities
have been selling stolen goods for the
Lanes.

The particulars OF n sensational mur-

most curious feature Of the affair is
that the men who did the lynching
were negroes and strung up one of
their W race. The negro avengers
not only determined upon the sum-
mary execution of their victim, but
took him from the hands Of a white
officer for that purpose. Frank Thomas,
n negro, employed on the Amelia plan

old negro boy named Wilburn over a
debt of 30 cents. The killing was wit
