at Second-ave. and One-hundred- and-nnth-st when
the officers came along and arrested them.
The three prisoners started right in at the officers
when they told them they were under arrest Ham
nell is a powerful fellow. and he alone was as
much the policemen could handle. They had
their hands more than full when the two women
with hatpns. 6ngernas and feet added their
efforts to those of the lusty stevedore Yet the
officers would probably have got their prisoners
10 the station IL it had not been for the attltuda
OF the surrounding crowd which did all it could m
hamper the policemen Every minute too the
size of the crowd increased. until the Second-aye
stopped
there was a riot. Headquarters sent word tn I've
East OnehundI and &c urth-st station and toid
the police there 10 hurry around to e-hundrsd-
and-ninth-st with patrol wagon. The wagon
however. was elsewhere on cali there was a
delay until the wagon from the West One-hundrad~
and-tWenty hfthst. station could get across tovyn
All this time Pierce and Hartford were having
their own troubles. Hammell was pummeIIins
them whenever he got the chance. though he had
been struck on the head several times with biiir-
ana the two women had torn the best part OF ~.
onlcers uniforms from their hacks. Some Of the
Dolder spirits IN the crowd had attempted 10 resce
the prisoners. so the officers were glad when the
patrol wagon. with number Of policemen in il
drove up and came 10 their rescue. The prfsonArS
were locked up, charged with being drunk and AZ

Asotin, Wash Aug 5.-Despite the efforts of
Sheriff Richards. of Asotin County, father of
the victim who had sworn in twenty-five depu-
ties to guard William Hamilton. a well-to-do
farmer, the self-confessed murderer of Mabel
Richards, Hamilton was taken from the Asotin
County Jail shortly after midnight last night
and lynched by a mob of more than one thou
sand men, who had been congregating all yes
terday from all parts Of the county.
Shortly after l. o'clock a band Of men, with
their faces concealed by. handkerchefs, marched
up the street TO the county jail The officers and
guards were swept aside, the keys taken
from the jailer, and the mob passed into the
Jail. When the cell containing the guilty man
was reached. no key could be found TO fit the
lock. and the door was sawed and hacked open
After about fifteen minutes delay Hamilton was
dragged out OF the cell and down to the yard.
Meanwhile another company of masked men
had marched up the street and taken position
opposite the jail. They kept back the crowd,
which had filled the streets all night waiting for
the lynching. for the entire population OF the
town had turned out and their numbers had
been swelled by people from the surrounding
country. Soon there came procession from the
Jail yard. on each side of the prisoner was
masked man holding his arm, while another
masked man held his hand over the murderers
mouth to prevent an cutlery. other members
group came forward. the men who had been
guarding the entrance to the jail formed
linked chain about captive and captors, and in
this manner they proceeded, keeping the crowd
at respectful distance.
When the lynchers reached First and Fillmore
sts- they halted under guy wire which crosses
the street and connects electric light poles. Here
Hamilton was told that he might confess, and
he did so. speaking in low tone, not audible
more than ten feet away. Afterward he asked
that his jewelry, some trifing trinkets he had
IN his possession and his watch be given to
his father and mother. and it was promised that
this would be done. There was a short wait
then while the manner of Hamilton's death was
discussed. Some of the mob thought hanging
100 good and wanted 10 torture him, but the
original programme prevailed.
A black mask. like that used in a legal hang
3ng, was produced and put over the murderers
head. The rope was placed about his neck and
the other enc thrown over the guy wire. 1t
came within grasping distance of the lynchers
and was seized by many hands. The body was
suspended at a height of about four feet and
the rope tied to one Of the light poles. As soon
2 they were satisfied that Hamilton dead
the crowd quickly melted away, and the streets
were soon deserted.

Splendid and
Perfect Pianos
OF the Celebrated Makers
Selling for Less Than Real

Selling Tor Less Thdn Real
The reason for this special
sale is obvious.
1t is partly the overcrowding OF
our sales floors from the necessity
arising from the tearing down Of
adjoining properties to erect the
new store, and partly because OF
the uncommon exposure Of some OF
our Pianos to scuffing on our too
narrow aisles. Fifty, seventy-five
or one hundred dollars OF reduc-
lions respectively, is exactly that
much money to the good for any
one who wants a frst-class piano
and will buy it now.
The names OF the makers are on
the instruments, and each instru-
ment is guaranteed to be perfect
and enduringly so; save and ex-
cept a little rubbing from moving
about that is scarcely noticeable.
After this small Sale there viii
be no more Pianos of these we'll
known makers to be sold at less
than the manufacturers adopted
prices, for a very long time, at
least.
The public knows that there is
no marking up OF price on any
articles here, for the purpose Of
marking them down for a sale.
