To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Miss Addamss attention has been called 10 an
article in your paper in which, among other mis-
representations. she is quoted as being in favor of
the lynching of negroes. 1t is difficult to under

with her opinions could be ascribed to her. in view
OF the fact that she not only often spoken and
written against lynching. but is a non-resistant in
principle and does not believe in penalty

It SLIPS A COG
Northern Pacific Did not Buy Battle
Axe.
THE CITIZENS RAISE $4,000
A Misunderstanding Regarding the Pur-
chase Complicates Affairs, and the
Sale Was Adjourned for One
Week


proceedings incident to the sale Of
the Washburn, Bayfield, and Iron
River Railroad last Saturday, and
as result the famous Battle Axe is
still in the hands of Receiver A. G..
Frost. Mr.. Frost was here last
Saturday, but found no bidders for
the property, and in accordance
with an understanding with the
Northern Pacific people adjourned
the sale until next Saturday. The
trouble grew out of the failure of the
Washburn people to put Up the
right of way clear of all legal in
cumbrances or in the event that
this could not be done within the
thirty days covered by the original
agreement, then to deposit in the
Merchants National Bank, of ST.
Paul, the sum of $4,000 as a
forfeit. The understanding among
the people here was that the North
ern Pacific people would grant an
extension for thirty days, and papers
to that effect were drawn by the
legal department of the road and
sent to this city and signed by
members of the committee named by
the people at their mass meeting a
month ago. But evidently there
was change in the attitude of the
railroad people, and they decided to
hold off until everything at this end
of the line had been arranged for.
There was good deal of disappoint-
ment felt here Saturday, but the
Committee held meeting in the
afternoon and discussed ways and
means out of the difficulty. It APP
pears that the plats and descrip-
tions had not been furnished by the
Northern Pacific which would en-
able the Committee to carry out their
part of the arrangement so far as
the right OF, way was concerned.
After spending considerable time
Saturday over the problem the Com
mittee adjourned for the day, and
Monday afternoon they met and
wrestled with the problem as to how
the money could best be raised. A
plan was finally hit upon, and the
business men were called upon to
endorse papers that will eventually
clean the matter up with, the aid of
the town board, the members of
which took the necessary steps to
guarantee that the matter would he
taken care OF by the taxpayers.
Captain VIM. O'Neil acted as chair
man OF the Committee, to which
position he was elected some time
ago. On Tuesday the money was
sent to St. Paul by Fred T. Yates,
who acted for the Committee. Now
it is up to the Northern Pacific peo-
pie and they will be here on Satur-
day, and we are assured by Mr.
Frost, will bid $125, 900 for the road.
which amount the Receiver is author
lied to accept. The question is
solved, and in the course of few
days will be entirely disposed of.
