THIS r,OB WAS GENUINE.

Marshfeld, Ore, Sept. 19.-Alonzo
Tucker, colored, who assaulted Mrs.
Dennis, near Libby Wednesday, was
lynched today. A body of coal min
ers, heavily armed, marched into
town last evening. The marshal at
tempted to take Tucker from the
Jail Just as the miners entered.
The negro managed to give his GUS
todian the slip and jumped under the
wharf into the mud fats, and eluded
both officers and mob until today.
This afternoon two boys located
Tucker under sidewalk and drove
him out. AS he emerged rifll ball
struck him in the leg and he also
received several body wounds. The
miners decided to take him to the
scene Of the crime. A start was
made, but the negro died from his
wounds and the mob hanged him to
beam on the south Marshfieo
bridge. There was not masked
man in the crowd and everything
was done in broad daylight.

SAID LADY LOVE PICKED POCKET

Plattsmouth, Neb., Sept. ia
young man who gave his name las
Ernest Jessen, and who said he was
trying to get back to his farm work in
Otoe county, was in the city Tuesday
evening. According to his story he
has certainly had hard luck during the
past few days, and is now doubtless
much wiser than he was before. 1t
appears that he had been reading mat
rimonial paper, and in this way Sc
cured the address Of a ''pretty young
lady, with blue eyes and a fair COM
plexion," whose name was Oracle
Goldenberg, and whose home is In
Omaha. They corresponded for some
time. and finally Ernest became i'm
been with an irresistible desire to see
the girl. A few days ago he wrote her
that he was coming, after which he
gathered together all the money he
had saved up-about $l25-and board
ed a train for Omaha. He had no
trouble in locating the woman when
he got there, and while they were en-
joying walk along the streets she
asked him to wait few moments
while she went into drug store to do
some shopping. He waited few mo-
ments and then few moments more.
and when an hour had passed he was
still waiting, but he saw her no more.
About that time he discovered that
his pocketbook was also missing, and
he barely had money enough left to
buy him a meal and a ticket to Platts-
mouth. He said he had not reported
the matter to the officers, as he did
not care to have his folks in Otoe
county learn how he had been worked.
The experience was an expensive one,
but he will doubtless profit by it..

IN FEAR OF A MOB.
Murderer Ne,genHnd Hustled Away From

Winside, Neb., Sept. 19.--Fearin
visit by mob so lynch Gottlieh
Neigenfnd, the murderer Of Albert
Breyer and Mrs. Peters, Sheriff b.
M, Jones and Deputy Arthur Oelke
of Pierce county today hurried ME-
genllnd suffering from his wounds,
away FROM Winside. At O'Clock the
sheriff received a report that a mob
had already started on horseback
from Pierce and he hustled the pris-
oneI on cot and boarded the / 40
south-bound train with him. M one
knows where the officers went with
the prisoner, but IL is surmised the
murderer was taken either to Wayne
or to the state penitentiary Inves-
tigation at Pierce later showed that
the report that the mob had been
formed vas groundless, but it is
true some men on the street corners
Of Pierce have been talking of lynch
ing Niegen6nd
They remember that Bash, the
murderer Of his wife and four chill
den at Wayne few years ago es-
capped being punished by being sent
to an asylum and later freed and this
has resulted In distrust OF the law.
All the shot and bullets In Niegen-
finds body have been renewed ex-
cept one in the pelvius, which may
prove dangerous.
Pierce, Neb., Sept. 10. County
Attorney Barnhar and the Pierce
crowd returned from Winside last
night and this afternoon. 1t is
learned that Niegnind was taken to
Blair this afternoon to avoid any
danger of being lynched by Breyer's
neighbors. Judge Boyd has sent
word from Neigh that he will be
here on September 30 to try the case
and that the jury will also be sum-
moned.
Niegenfnd was wounded In both
arms and the right thigh by bullets
from a No. % rife. One bullet made
scalp wound. There are gunshot
wounds on the face, neck and breast.
The doctors do no think them seri'
Gus. He was put on a stretcher and
taken to Blair this afternoon. The
people OF Pierce are quiet, and seem
willing that the law shall take Its
course.

The cougar does not leap upon its
big game nor drop upon 1t out or tree
tops. but sneaks close or lies in wait
upon the level and goes from cover In
a straight rush like the tiger or the
hunting leopard. 1t endeavors to seize
upon the lower throat or shoulder with
its teeth and to twist the quarry's head
against this purchase" in its powerful
forearms until the neck is broken. Fall
ing in this attempt, yet making good It's
catch-hold, the cougar will-to put 1t
modernly--go in and finish in any Old
style. 1t will usually finish once tooth
and claw are engaged, but sometimes It
fails and even gets the worst of an en-
counter.
Felix Michaud a most reliable free
trapper of the old regime, once told
me he had watched lion stalking a
bull elk. 1t was a Teton mountain
cougar of the big variety. 1t went from
cover in a beadlong rush, but missed
its neck stroke as the bull lunged ahead
catching him at the point Of the shoul
der and going under his belly. Both
animals were bowled over in a miX-uI
of hair, hoofs, claws and horns. In
brief struggle, as they rolled over TO-
gether, the cougar was thrown into the
air as if hoisted by a spring trap by
a convulsive kick from the bulls hind
leg. The maddened elk gained its legs
and chased its enemy off the field. Ar
unlooked-for punch in the wind haC
taken the sand out of pussy.

Against SIN m IneH Nitys
Hastings, Neb., Sept. 17.--The min
listers OF Hastings have stirred up a
hornets nest in the city, which is IL
able to cause serious trouble before the
end is in sight.
When some OF the prominent pas
tors went Summing last week they
did not dream of the great surprise In
store for them. They had been In
formed that members Of various
churches were guilty of patronizing
certain disreputable places, but they
could not bring themselves to believe
the statement, and 1t was not until
they investigated and found members
of their own churches in various dens
of iniquity that they were convinced.
The shock was so great to the clergy
that they are now going after various
members Of their respective churches
with a sword of fire, and they have
just decided upon definite plans for a
crusade against the gambling houses
and gilded palaces In this city.
At meeting of the clergy held last
night each minister agreed to raise
sufficient funds with which to make
the fight to the bitter end. Three
thousand circulars will be scattered
broadcast, giving graphic description
of the exact conditions Of things as
seen by the Summing committee, and
through these circulars an appeal will
be make to the law-abiding citizens to
insist upon the removal of these places
of indecency and degradation. Rev
John Power, of the Episcopal church,
said today that the ministers had
agreed to stand by each other and fight
the thing to finish e~en IL they lost
every member of their respective
churches.

that burglars had entered the gener-

and the hardware store of ID. Wait
and made away with from $50 to 800
worth of goods. From the character
OF the'goods taken and the manner In
which the job was done it Is be-
lieved by the authorities that it was
the work Of boys who had become
excited by cheap literature.
