QUIET LYNCHING PARTY
AN ARKANSAS FUNCTION THAT WAS
DEVOID OF PyRoTECHNICs.
Mob Wanted to Hang White Man for
Murder and Ii Did-vain APP
peal for Mercy.

OSCEOLA, Ark, April 6.-May Hearn, Of
Luxora, Ark, was taken from the county
Jail here this morning between IL and .
o'clock and lynched. The victim of the
mob was a young white man. the son OF
]. r. Hearn, one Of the most respected
farmers living in the neighborhood of Lux
ora, and the crime for which he was
hanged was the shooting Of Clyde King in
Luxora on the night of Sunday, March 81.
The lynching was p very quiet affair, as
the mob that participated in it was thor
oughly organized. 1t seemed to be made
up largely of persons from Luxora, as the
members entered Osceola horseback and
not over half dozen citizens OF the
place were aware that a lynching had
taken place until It's morning. The mob,
numbering about fifteen persons. entered
the city about midnight. Sentries were
posted along the main streets and a posse
was sent out to effect the capture of Depu-
ty Sheriff Goodrich and Night Watchman
Skipworth. Both were found by the posse.
They were disarmed and compelled TO ac-
company the lynchers. Deputy Sheriff
Goodrich had the keys to the Jail and
these were taken possession of by the
leaders of the mob.
Arriving at the jail the lynchers entered.
Hearn sank on his knees and began to pray.
Although his sentences were almost inco-
herent he insisted that he had not killed
King from malice, but that the shooting
was accidental The mob was unmoved
by his prayers and petitions for mercy and
placing rope around Hearn's neck they
took him from the Jail and hanged him to
a tree. After it was found that Hearn
was dead the mob in organized body
left the scene of the tragedy and rode
out of town. The body was left dangling
in the air until about o'clock this morn
ing, when it was cut down and turned over
to Hearns family.

WASHINGTON. April 6.-secretary Cor
telyou is daily engaged in conferences with
senators and representatives and railroad
officials regarding the itinerary OF the
Presidents coming tour across the coun-
try. AS near as possible Secretary Cortel-
you is trying to complete this schedule
before the train leaves on it's long journey.
The time Of returning 10 Washington will
be fixed almost TO the hour before the de-
parture. despite the fact that the train Will
be away from Washington for six weeks
and will travel 1900 miles and 20 through
more than half the States OF the Union.
Reports received at the White House are
that the entire West is making prepara-
tions for the trip. H. T. Scott. OF the
Union ironworks OF San Francisco. where
the battleship Ohio will be launched. Is
coming TO Washington TO accompany the
President TO California. He also has
placed his magnificent residence in San
Francisco at the disposal of the President.
In Los Angeles two prominent citizens
have rendered the use of their houses
While these invitations may not be ac-
cepted. they show the hospitality that is
being offered to the President.
II is not yet known whether Attorney
lie has just come back from spending the
winter in California and may not care TO
return. With the exception OF Secretary
Gage and possibly Secretary Root, every
other Cabinet officer will go. Each one
will transact department business aboard
the train just as If he were at his desk In
Washington. The President will be in con-
slant communication with Washington and
will attend 20 all executive business. While
in the State of Washington. the President
has decided TO stop at Chehalis. the home
of the Hazard brothers, the two army
officers who accompanied General Funston
ON the journey which resulted in the cap
ture OF Aguinaldo. The President probably
will make a brief speech there.
The proposed sail by steamer from Du-
luth or Chicago 10 Buffalo has been elimi-
mated from the itinerary, owing TO the fact
that the steamers do not begin 10 run until
June Is. After the trip through the Gei-
lowstone Park, the party will go 10 salt
Lake City, thence 10 Denver and Colorado
Springs. Two days will be spent al the

extended stay will be made in Chicago.
About two days will be spent at Buffalo,
and Niagara Falls Will be visited.

the bitter Root valley.

BUTTE, Mont, April 6.-Great alarm is
felt by residents of the Bitter Root valley
because of the recurrence of an epidemic
of a strange and fatal illness that has
been appearing every spring for five years.
For want of better name ii has been
termed spotted fever" but as the disease
IS confined to a particular portion of the
valley. some physicians are inclined to
believe il is the result OF mineral poison
in the mountain water. Several deaths have
occurred. IT is always fatal and its victims
die in great agony. Doctors are puzzled
and the state is asked to have the gov
ernment investigate.
