man entered the home of c. j. Fowler,
and finding Mrs. Fowler alone, seized her.
The lady desperately tore herself FROM
the brutes clutches and ran to field

refused. however, and they Immediately
began to hammer on the locks of the Jail
doors.
They soon obtained an entrance TO the
prison. where they found Mays covering
in his cell and begging the other prisoners
10 protect him.
The leader of the mob took charge of
the negro. and telling the jailer to watch
the rest of the prisoners, dragged Mays
TO the high school yard. where he was
speedily strung up to a tree.
The mobs work was quietly done, and
but few words were spoken by the lead

MADE MORE STEEL
THAN DID DIVIDENDS

NEW YORK, Jan. u.-Speculators were
keenly disappointed over the quarterly
statement of earnings of the United States
Steel corporation. as the preceding ru-
mors of what they would be proved To
have been grossly exaggerated.
The proceedings against the Northern
Security company in the supreme court
and the interstate commerce commission
have been a depressing influence. The
money market has been easier, but has
not showed the expected redundacy OF
credit and has not stimulated speculation.
The financial troubles in the rubber
trade and of the Everett-Moore syndicate
following the collapse of the asphalt
trust. have conduced to conservatism in
the money market and in speculation.
The growing dizziness of the stock mar
ket has indicated the closing out Of large
speculative accounts.
