Considerable mystery was thrown
around the wedding. and even after IL

refused 10 discuss it.

what the bridegroom said.
Lash is a brother of Lee Lash. a
scenic artist. with a studio at No. 142

n,ony was over and the newly welded
couple and the witnesses had enjoyed
breakfast at an uptown hotel. Mr.. Lash
went to the studio and resumed his work.
Gus Hill was as surprised To hear that
Mr.. Lash intended to get married as his
friends we're when they heard OF it.

The DAT INJUNCTION
JUDGE CHYTRAUs MODTFIEs HIS
ORDER SOMEWHAT.
BUSINESS CAN GO AHEAD.
BUT sHoHTs ARE PROTECTED FOR
TIME BEING.

The Injunction Now Seems to Apply
j" Case of Only One Firm ami
Board of Trade SO Interprets 1t.
Doubtful If the Court will Take
This View, HOwever-Big bun
Spectators Says Courts Action
Will Encourage Short Selling.
July oats Sold Freely Yesterday
and Many of the shorts Covered.
Chicago. July S1.-Judge Chytraus
to-day modified the injunction issued
yesterday restraining the Chicago
Board of Trade and the Board of
Trade operators, James A Patten,
Darlington, Patten e. Co, and Bartlett
Frazier & Co, from conducting a cor
ner in July standard oats, by restrain
ing the defendants from asking the
president of the Board of Trade to en-
dorse down margins deposited by the
complainants, Waite Thoburn & Co,
to secure. $4,000 bushels of short sales.
The court held session before the open
ing hour OF the Board of Trade in or
der that a decision might be arrived
at before business was begun. So inn
portant, however, did the court con-
slider the precedent of the case that
the motion for dissolution of the
temporary injunction was not con-
sldered and the case will come up for
further adjudication next week
The effect of the action of the court
Is for the time being to protect the
complafNants against any alleged cor
ner and is construed as working
against the bull clique of operators on
the board.
There was practically no effect on
business in oats from the Injunction
The assurance by Judge Chytraus that
ordinary business could be done by
the defendants and other members of
the Board of Trade acted as a check
against any early violent fluctuations.
notice was posted on Change in
terpreting the courts action as a dis
missal of the injunction against the
Board of Trade, and stating that all
business could proceed as usual save
in the matter of closing out deals with
Waite, Thoburn & Co. The matter was
considered held in allegiance.
How Spectators View II.
Spectators on the board were all
inclined to comment unfavorablv upon
| the appeal to the courts The big bulls
| said IL such a precedent was estah-
| llshed there would be nothing but short
| selling II prices went down delivers
| les would BE made, hut IL the price
went against the sellers there would
be nothing to prevent them defaulting
on their contracts
Apparently inundated by the pos
sibilities of having to answer to the
court IL fictitious prices were pumped
into July oats all Spectators allowed
the manipulated July options in all
grains to die with a fash In the pan.
July oats were sold freely by the bulls,
and many of the shorts covered bring
ing a closing price l cent up at s64
cents. The famous July corn deal
ended in a slump of 3 cents. and closed
at 56 cents. July wheat was delivered
freely and prices slumped sharply,
losing at one time cents. The close
was 5asc down at 69% cents. Other de-
liVeries were weaker. but not mark
eddy so.

CHARLES CRAVEN LYNCHED.
Negro Declared His Innocence of
Murder of Wilson and Also of Pre-
ViOus Crime.

Murder of Wilson and Also of Pre-
viOus Crime.
Washington, July S1.-Charles Crav-
en-, the supposed murderer of William
II. Wilson. a farmer living near Hern-
don, Va, was lynched this afternoon
on the pike one mile east of Leesburg.
Va. He was taken from the Jail at
Leesburg by a mob of $50 men. who
overpowered the guard, broke IN the
outer door and then entered the cage,
using hammers and crowbars. Little
difficulty was encountered in this work.
A moose was thrown around the negro'S
neck and he was led down the pike in
the direction of the scene of the muir
der. The party had proceeded scarce
ly mile, when the rope was thrown
around a tire ana Craven was pulled
from the ground.
AS soon as the body was raised in
the air, the mob fired fully 500 shots
at the negro. Before Craven was
lynched he was given an opportunity
to make a statement. He strongly
protested that he was innocent of kill
ing Mr.. Wilson and also that he was
innocent of burning Mr.. Smiths barn,
for which offense he had been SEN
fenced to Jail two years before. Men,
women and children, who lined the
road from the Mil to the scene of the
execution Justify cheered the mob.
Gov Montague was appealed to by
the officer of the commonwealth, and
he ordered the Alexandria Light In
fantry to the scene, but the mob ac-
complished it's work before the arrival
of the soldiers.
Craven was captured to-day on a
farm near Ashburn, Va. He was
asleep in a hay rick. and was seized
by three of his pursuers, Ernest Nor
man, John Higgins and Henry Bry-
ant, before he had time to offer re-
sistance. A large crowd quickly gath
cred and threatened TO lynch the me-
| gro, but Sheriff Russell succeeded in
| getting his prisoner on a train and
! safely lodged him in Jail at Leesburg.
