Springfield, Ky, jan. 11.-Jim Mays. a

Jeans. the daughter of Joseph Jeans. one
Of the most prominent farmers in the
county, near SimmstoWn, six miles from

today and hanged to a tree in the High
school yard. The mob came into town
quietly and after arousing Jailer Cott-
lett, demanded the keys to the Jail. Their
demand was refused, however, and they
Immediately began to hammer the locks
on the Jail doors. In a few moments
they effected an entrance and found Mays
covering in his cell, begging the otEe,
prisoners to protect him.
The leaders OF the mob took charge
Of the negro and telling the iailer to
watch the rest Of the prisoners, dragged
Mays % the high school yard, where he
was speedily strung I'D 10 a tree.
The mob's work was quietly done and
but few words We're spoken by the leaders
while they were at the Jail. Citizens knew
nothing Of the lynching until Mays body
was found swinging from the tree this
morning. It is rot known in what direc-
ton the mob departed and non Of the
members is known 10 the officials. The
Negroes body was cut down and an inquest
heid by the coroner
TIE negro was arrested and brought
here Wednesday. 1t was charged that
the assault was committed while Miss
Jeans was returning home from a neigh
hor's. She fought stubbOrnly and her
screams brought two Of her brothers to
her rcscuc.
They pursued Mays and succeeded II
capturing him after a long chase. The
brothers beat the negro severely and were
only prevented from killing him by the
arrival Of some tarmcrs who turned the
negro over TO q constable.

A Shrinkage in the Montana beef
crop to about one-half the amount
marketed in 1895, must not be accept
ed as al indication of a proportionate
reduction in the extent of the Montana
cattle industry. The large volume of
shipments in 1894 and 1895 were due
in part to the hard times, when stock
men were compelled to maintain their
credit by converting part of their prop
erty into cash, and did not represent
the normal beef output OF the indus
try. 1t is evident, however, that the
Montana beef crop is not SO large as
formerly-a result due to the chang
ing conditions to whichssthe industry
is gradually adapting itself.
The experience of cattlemen in other
states where their industry has been
established upon a permanent basis,
encourages the belief that the Mon
tana beef crop of the future will be
far in excess of that ever produced
by the open range system. When
greater attention is given to the rails
ing Of forage crops, and a largely in
creased area of irrigated lands gives
an annual yield of feed stuff six times
as large as that produced under pres
ent conditions, the facilities for beef
production will be greater than at
any time in the past.
It is estimated that Montana has at
the present time about one million
head of cattle, a number exceeded by
many of The smaller and more popu-
lous farming states. Texas is the
leading cattle state in the union, with
a toal Of some 9,546,OOO head; Iowa
comes second with $3.50, 900 head, and
Illinois, Nebraska, Missouri, New York,
Ohio and Wisconsin each have cattle
possessions that run into the millions.
This exhibit indicates that the settle
ment of Montana agricultural lands
by farmers and stockmen will increase
the beef crop of the state to handsome
! proportions.

Whether it was done with the hope

application was made honestly and in

Mr.. Hathhorn refused and told the

inform the bondsmen and ask them to
surrender him into the custody of the

The son left without intimating
what he would do. Should he really
believe his father insane, the county
attorney said, such action would be

M'klNLEY MEMORIAL DAY NEXT
WEDNESDAY.
ALL MAY Give SOMETHING
Offering of An Entire
Nation.

Next Wednesday has been set aside
by executive action of the different
governors as Mckinley Day" being
the anniversary of the birth of the
murdered president AS previously an
nounced special effort will be made
on that day throughout the entire land
to raise money for the purpose of
erecting a memorial to the assassin's
victim.
The object of this concerted effort
is to enable all to give something and
make it indeed the offering of a ma
ton. Were appeal to be made it
would no doubt be easy to secure the
needed amount from a comparatively
few individuals, but this is not the
design or wish of the national asso-
citation that has been formed for the
purpose of collecting the money and
supervising erection of the memorial.
The desire is to afford opportunity to-
everybody to give according to his
means or inclination. Collections will
be taken up in all of the schools of
the land on this day and no matter
how small the sun each child may
give record Of the subscription will be
kept and as soon thereafter as posi-
BILE each subscriber will receive an
individual certificate setting forth that
he or she was a subscriber to the fund.
This will make a souvenir that will
be of value and interest in coming
years and one that is bound to be
highly treasured.
Judge J. R. Goss of this city has
been appointed by Governor Toole as
Yelowstone's member of the Mon
tana auxiliary Of the national commit
tee and has been entrusted with
the task of supervising collections in
this county. Being unable to make a
personal appeal to every person with
in his district, the judge has appoint
ed sub-committeemen for the different
towns. j. B. Amin has been placed
in charge of Columbus, E. B. Camp
at Laurel and Thad Pound at Park
City.
The committeeman for this city
have not yet been designated, but their
names will be announced in ample
time for them to act.
In addition to the county and local
committeeman each postmaster has
been authorized to receive contribu-
lions and receipt for them, so that
should any be overlooked or happen
to be absent on the day the collec.
lions are made they will still have
the opportunity to give something
Arrangements have been made by
the pastors of the various churches
for special memorial exercises next
Sunday evening and some beautiful
and impressive ceremonies are assur
ed. The programmes have not YET
been perfected, but will probably be
completed in time for publication in
the newspapers.
Judge Goss is particularly DESTROYS
that Yellowstone shall make a goo6
showing, not SO much in the amount
of it's contribution as in the number O.
contributors and hopes that every
body will respond to the appeal.
