THE LEADER.
Scott Bradley was among the first to
get upon the Jail steps. Another man
named Williams was also recognized as
among the most active of the mob. Scott
Bradley, however, seems to have been
identified by more people as participating
actively than any other man.
This afternoon B. w. Franklin, the
deputy clerk testified that he saw Brad
ley lifting the negro up so that the rope
which was rather short, might be gotten
over the limb of the tree.
A man named Mopple. OF Frederick
county. Maryland. who has been in town
for some days buying iron. was recog-
nized by one or more of the witnesses
as the man who was welding the sledge

blows.

DIES MONIES. IOWA, August 1.-Gov-
crnor Cummings announced to-day that he
is Investigating the recent reorganization
OF the Chicago. Rock Island and Faclfc
Railroad Company. with view OF ascer-
tanning whether it is in all respects in
harmony with the laws Of the State Of
Iowa He has not yet conferred with the
Attorney General, but will do so as soon
as the Attorney-General returns to the

Governor Cummings stated to-day that
the first question he is inquiring into IS
as to whether the imitation OF capital
stock, which is contemplated by the reor-
ganization, is consistent win tne iowa
law. In the second place, he desires to
ltnow inst now far it is lawful for a New
Jeresy CORPORATION to own and control the

cl,s;en on anv of these questions. and
declares that he means to give them a
thorough investigation before he decides
what his duty toward the new company
may be in the premises.
1T may be- he stated. that the Iowa
Iaws contemplate as much latitude as

very much.

mings. "if have read the dispatches
Alright. there has been an imitation of
capital stock which is not contemplated
by the laws of this State. 1t is true that
there is no limit placed upon the capital
ization of such company. but there is
a limit upon the Indebtedness OF such cor
porations, and there must be something
shown To the credit of the stockholders
of such a company. which will represent
the difference in increased capitalization.
IT am convinced that such a centrali-
cation Of capital and power Is dangerous.
to say the least, and cannot be encouraged
without eatening business interests.
Such a centraliza ton Of capital means
that there may follow an explosion, which
when 1t comes is likely not only. to affect
one but many interests. : Ak1lsa.

The PEOPLES COLUMN
Beautify the City.

EDITOR HERALD The citizens of North
Yakima have striveu so much to gain
money that some of them are losing the
capacity to enjoy what money brings.
Let some of those who can't make
money suggest where little would go a
long way toward making many happy.
As we have no city park, then let us
have a beautiful river driveway from
the Selah to the Mckee bridge. The
increased value of their land might per-
suade the property owners to donate the
roadway, and public spirit could do the
rest.
The trees which have been cut down
all over North Yakima will be greatly
missed. Instead of making tirewood of
them why not perpetuate their beauty
by making rustic benches of the limbs
to be placed in shady hooks for the use
of weary pedestrians?
What is the matter with North Yak
ina lawns? Are Second street and
Natchez avenue residents the only ones
alive to beauty? Let all the streets and
avenues compete for the prize of beauty
this season. A READER.

LAW DEFIED.
A Correspondent Cites a Case of Justfiable
Lynching.

The ultra moralists make great fuss
PEELED to take the law into their own
hands and wrest it from the hardness OF
the courts. Take for instance the lynch
ing at Casper, Wyo., last Friday, when
Charles F. Woodward was ruthlessly
taken from the county Jail and illegally
hanged from the scaffold that had been
erected to send him to legal death.
Woodward committed an outrageous
murder and confessed to the crime. His
victim was Sheriff VIM. G.. Kicker Of
Natrona county, Wyoming. Last Novem-
Der Woodward was arrested on the
charge of stealing clothing and provi-
sions from ranch, and it was alleged
that he was at the head of a notorious
band Of horse thieves. He was placed
in the prison at Casper, together with
his brothers. On the night of December
80, 1901, the brothers broke prison,
being aided by their friends. They rode
away to the Woodward ranch, and
reached there on the evening of January
2, 1902. Before leaving Casper, Charles
Woodward had been supplied with a
revolver. When he reached the ranch
he found, to his surprise, Sheriff Kicker
there awaiting his arrival. He then
went to the barn, intending to abandon
his horse and steal one of the officers
animals. He was ready to ride away
when the sheriff appeared. The sheriff
instantly shot the sheriff through the
body, and he fell mortally wounded.
Woodward then struck the dying man
