Cheyenne, wyo., March 2s.-(spe-
cial to The Republican.)-A special
from Casper to the Leader says:
This morning, at 1910 o'clock, a
party Of twenty-four masked men
heavily armed went to the county Jail
in this city .overpowered Sheriff Tubbs,
bound and gagged him. and then took
the keys Of the Jail and unlocked the
door. The party took Charles Francis
Woodland out Of his bed. and hanged
him on the gallows adjoining the jail
which was built for his legal execu-
ton By the authorities.
Within 4 short time IN immense
crowd assembled outside the jail,
although the hanging was the work Of
the twenty-tour determined men, who
formulated and carried out their plans
alone, suffering no interference and
permitting NO undue violence to the
doomed man.

t~wenty-four m%en-called upon him, and
the trembling wretch was awakened
from his slumbers by the noise made

Welsh indians In America.
London Chronicle.


Though public attention has lately been
directed to Welsh settlers IN America, the
question lacks the great interest caused in
the eighteenth century by the statement
that a tribe OF Welsh Indians had been
discovered. In the seventeenth century
John Josselyn, in his Voyages to New
England" mentioned that the customs Of
the inhabitants resembled those OF an
Client Britons, and Sir Thomas Herbert,
another traveller of the same date. in his
Travels" gave Welsh words in use
among these Indians. A century later re-
ports from several traders and others
were received of an Indian tribe that pos
sessed manuscript, spoke Welsh and re-
tanned ceremonies OF Christian worship.
Among other information then published
was the report of Captain Abraham Chap
lain, Of Kentucky, that his garrison near
the Missouri had been visited by Indians
who conversed In Welsh with some Welsh
men in his company. Those Indians were
thought to be descendants Of a colony
said to have been formed by Madoc, son Of
owen Gwynedd, on his discovery Of Amer
lea in ITO.

AID FOR ARMOUR GIRL.
Lolita, the Helress, to BE Cured, II
Possible, BY Science.
ChicaRo Chronicle.


Five-year7old Lolita Armour, since her
birth so badly crippled that she has never
taken a step, is soon to receive treatment
from two Of the greatest surgeons in the
world The disarticulated hip joints,
which have defied all the efforts OF
science. have been the cause OF almost I'M
endurable unhappiness to her millionaire
father, j. Ogden Armour. and Mrs. Ar
mour, who now have sent across the At
lantic for the>best specialists that money
can employ.
Dispatches from Vienna last night an
nounced that the surgeons had left for
Chicago to perform the operation, IN
which the best American specialists have
failed OF complete success.
Professor Adolf Lorenz, Of the medical
faculty Of the University of Vienna, ana
Dr. Friedrich Mueller, known to medical
science as one Of the greatest specialists
in bone diseases, are the surgeons VINO
are expected TO bring joy to the Armour
household.
Dr. Lorenz is the first surgeon who ever
performed the particular operation neces-
sary in this case, and he has performed
it with success many times in Europe.
He has expressed full confidence in his
ability and. with the assistance Of DR..
Mueller, to give Lolita Armour the use
of her legs. DR.. Lorenz is professor OF
orthopedic surgery in the University OF
Vienna and also attending surgeon at the
general hospital of the Austrian capital.
DR.. Mueller is also connected with ooth
these institutions.
The services Of these eminent specialists
were engaged after correspondence which
began last spring and eliminated in the
visit Of ]. Ogden Armour to Europe last
summer.
There was gloom in the Armour house
hold when the child's misfortune was dis
covered. Surgeons advised that no at
tempt be made TO connect the disarticu-
lated joints until she had gained strength
with several years growth. The hga-
ments at the hip sockets are too weak to
hold the great bones in place. Until baby
Lolita was a year old she was kept in
a rosewood incubator to strengthen the
tiny frame. On December 81, 1900, DR..
John Ridlon performed an operation to
restore the heiress to health by attempt
ing to set the hips in place. The opera
ton was performed by the eminent sur
geoh after he had spent months studying
the case. The joints were set and there
was every hope that they would remain
in proper position, but in spite OF the sue
cessful work of the surgeon and the ut
most care given the child never gained
free use of her limbs.
The parents however, did not give W
hope and subsequently they began nego-
tiations to employ the skill of European
scientists. Professor Lorenz was sug-
gested by the greatest surgeons in Amer
lea and Mr.. Armour and several loca
| surgeons wrote to him of the case. Cor
| respondencs continued until Mr.. Armour
went to Europe to arrange for the com
| ing of Professor Lorenz and DR.. Muel
| Ter. The surgeons left Vienna on theil
important mission a few days ago.
The case of Lolita Armour has beer
watched with deep interest by the scien
tific world ever since the child's mis-
| fortune became known.

Poison in Potatoes.

Exchange.
A poisonous principle called solanine has
long been known TO exist in the berries Of the
common potato plant. Indeed, for the purpose
of preparing the alkaloid in the pure state
the berries are conveniently employed. II may
also be obtained from the night shade and
the bittersweet. the alkaloid being found In
all parts of these common English plants be-
longing to the salanum nightshade order. Cases
OF poisoning from potatoes are, however, ex-
tremey rare, although those recorded are well
defined. 1t is undoubtedly the case that there
Is time when the potato may eSntain an i'm
portant quantity Of poison, and this appears TO
be when the tuber has begun to terminate and
to shrivel. In that case the solanine has been
found chiefly in the peel and at the root of the
eyes or shoots. This fact would seem to ac-
count for the death of child recently in
Bristol, England. Among other things which
she had eaten were some potato Feelings, and
the medical evidence showed that the child died
with symptoms consistent with solanine poison
ing which are similar to those of strychnine
poisoning, but less acute.

The secrstlve semlnoles.

JackSOnVlue IlIues-OnlOn.
Mrs Moore Wilson, who made a study OF
the subject says: From the best obtain
able sources there were in the year 1859 only
112 Indians left In Florida. In 1850, by actual
count as reported by the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition. the Seminoles of Florida numbered 2OS.
According to data gotten from the Indians
themselves, the tribe today QS96l numbers
nearly co.," To,this we may add that in 1884
the senate committee of Indian affairs asked
the question Of three Floridans supposed to
be most fully capable Of giving the facts. One
answered $50, one 200. and one 300. The census
OF 1900 guesses the number at about 500.
The truth Is, white man knows. The
Indians carefully conceal such knowledge as
they think might be useful to the government
in any attempt at removal, and It Is mainly
for this reason that they refuse an allowance,
which must be preceded by q count. They
have no confidence in the good faith or good
intentions Of either the state OF nation-they
remember that no treaty has been kept, no
promise regarded, and they prefer to remain
hidden so far as they may. few white men
have gained their confidence, but these inlbibe
the distrust of the Indian, as they prefer the
ways Of the uncivlized to our progress.
