 IN AS() ' K Fierce Justice is Meted
 Out & MGB ORGANIZES Marches 10 the Cell, 0yerpOwerS the Guards, Hangs the Victim
 and Then Disperses.
& MGB ORGANIZES

Asotin, Washington, had q hanging bee, "Wednesday, August, ,, in the early morning. William Hamilton, the selG.confessed outrager and murderer of little Mabel Richards. was in the Asotin county jail awaiting trial
 Twenty-Five deputies had been sworn in to protect the fellow, who was we'll to-do farmer. He had made q confess ion on the previous Sunday that he bad outraged the thirteen year old daughter of Pastor Richards. who was on her way to church, and then t3 cover the crime had killed her, When the citi- zens of Asotin found this out the storm began to brew, and despite the efforts of the girls father mob of thousand men congreguted down town, while twenty masked men marched to the ial, knocked the guards down, took the keys from them, went into the jail, sawed and hacked the dCor of the cell until 1t opened, dragged the haif-crazed man through the jail yard down town to tbe place of execution. A citizens committee of so masked men kept the crowd back, while the other committee dragged and marched Hamilton to the corner of First and Fillmore streets. Here they halted and gave the victim a chance to confess and give them his jewelry and some trinkets for his father and mother. A black mask was then produced and Hamilton was strung up. As soon as the mob satisfied itself that he was dead, they quietly and noise l leSsly went to their homes.
 It. was an orderly crowd that meant business. No amount of pleading could stop them. The self-cOnfessed murderer of the helpless little girl was dealt with by the citizens of Asotin without mercy l When his life was plotted out, venge- ance had reaped it's reward, and the ends of justice were satisfied.

ARRIVAL OF GEN. FUNSTON
The General Is on His Annual Tour of Inspection of Alaskan
 Military Posts.

Brig. Gen. Frederick C. Funston. the capturer of Aguinaldo, and now com mander of the department of Columbia, reached Nome yesterday morning on the revenue cutter Rush. General Funston is on his annual tour of in spection of army posts. In the party with General Funston are Major Febiger, inspector general, Major Miller, of the 18th Infantry, Major Wilson, of St. Michael, and General Funston's aide, Lieut.. B. J. Mitchell, of the l2th infantry. The party came down the Yukon. From St. Michael the revenue cutter Rush brought them to Nome.
 The party landed in the surf yester- day morning. The tug brought them near shore, and boat, by dint of per severance and lots of hard work, was able to take them off the boat and drift to the shore. It was a ce-looking surf, but did not phase the party, who were evidently anxious to land.
 General Funston and his party are at Fort Davis today, inspecting the bar racks. He hopes to be able to see some of the mining in the creeks near Nome and to get away on the Ohio next We'd nesday.
 The General and his party will be the guests of honor at a social session that will be given by the Arctic Broth erhood at their hall this evening. It will be an informal affair, given after the hearty and enthusiastic manner of the Brotherhood.

WATER IS
 VERY LOW Yukon Freight Deliver
 ies hampered. TRyUr!. :. alEs FLATS North American Transportation X Trading Company Charters
 Two Steamers.
TRyUpLz GlH FLATS

Unusually low water on the Yukon, between Dawson and St. Michael, is seriously hampering the delivery of freight at intermediate points. 2 ao klondike is particularly affected, from the fact that the district consumes probably twice as much American merchandise asall other districts on the lower Yukon combined. +
 To complete the freight deliveries contemplated, the North American Transportation & Trading Company has chartered two more lower Yukon river steamers. Advices to this effect were received by the Nome liner Iso- anole. The names of the two vessels were not given. The most troublesome water is what is known as the Yukon flats, between Circle City and Rampant. Already five or six steamers are aground on the flat, notably the Sarah and the Robert Kerr.
 The N. A. T. S T. Co. has undertak- en the delivery of about 25, 900 tons of general freight at Nome andt Yukon points this season. Of this amount 12,00o tons are for Klondike shipment. Lower river points get in the neigh borhood of 1000 tons. and Nome the rest. As the season is scarcely more than half advanced, there is yet ample time for Yukon freight'delivery in case of sufficient water in the river. There is now plenty of water on the upper Yukon for navigation purposes, and in Dawson enough supplies for necessary consumption doubtless will be shipped into the Yukon by Lynn canal and Whitehorse.

Mail and Baggage Off.

The passengers, mail and baggage brought by the Roanoke were landed today at noon. For nearly IS hours the passengers saw Nome from the dis tance, but were unable to land. The surf ran high today, but the small boats ran into the mouth of Snake river and landed their passengers.

District Alive With Men and TeamS=-MOre Work Than
 Ever Before.

John Hinkman, of the Pioneer road house on Dahl creek. reached Nome last Thursday evening and gave report of the activity in the Kougarok district. The district is very dry, having had only one rain since the snow melted. Were there more water there would be much more mining being done on the creeks. As it is the district is alive with men and teams.
