BRUTAL MURDERER
 PAYS USUALPENALTY
DESPITE EFFORT OF VICTIMS FATHER VIM. HAMILTON, A FARMER, IS TAKEN FROM JAIL AND LYNcHED.

Asotin. Wash. August 6.-Despite the fir Richards of Asotin county, who had sworn in twenty-five deputies to guard the brute. William Hamilton. well-to- do farmer, the self-confessed outrager and brutal murderer of little Mabel Rich ards, was forcibly taken from the Asotin county jail shortly after midnight and lynched by mob of over 1000 men, which had been congregating all day from all parts of Asotin county
 All night long the feeling that Hamil- ton should be strangled grew in volume. There were those that thought the wretch should be tortured. but 1t was finally agreed that vengeance would be satisfied by plotting out the life of the beast.
 About 12:15 o'clock twenty masked men, their faces concealed by handker- chiefs, marched in an orderly manner up the streets toward the jail When they got within sight the guards called them to halt. The answer from the masked men was to throw the guards to the ground. The keys were taken from the guards the jail were entered and finally entrance was affected into the jail proper.
 Meanwhile another company of masked men, about eighty in number, had march ed up the the street and taken posses sion of the entrance of the jail. With these men none attempted to interfere. They kept back the crowd, which had filled the streets all night waiting for the lynching, which 1t was certain would occur, and as soon as the attack was made upon Hamilton's cell. the entire population of the town. their numbers swelled by people from the surrounding country, gathered about the jail.
 When the lynchers and Hamilton reach ed the corner of First and Fillmore streets they halted under a guy wire which crosses the street and adjoins cleo tric light poles. Here one of the leaders asked Hamilton if he wanted to con- fess. He did so
 Some of the mob thought hanging too good for him and wanted to torture the brute, but the original programme pre- vailed and 1t was decided to hang him.

Many of the ships are equipped with wireless sys- tenn of telegraph so that communication can be had with the shore at any time. Three of the ships appeared about the middle of the afternoon near Passport and three hours afterwards were sight ed westward of Machas port.
 It Is expected that the attacking fleet will head for some of the many harbors to the eastward of this port as those to the westeward are comparatively few.

Judge Gregory Rejects Applications for
 Naturalization Papers.

Albany, N.s Y, August 5.-Judge Cliff ford D. Gregory in the County court to- day in rejecting sixty applicants for naturalization papers, said:
 T will not naturalize any person who comes before me and is unable to speak the English language sufficiently to make himself understood. I will com pei them to answer questions of age and places of nativity when they arrive. and any other questions which deem neces- sary to good citizenship. When a nan has been in this country and Is unable to speak our language, in my opinion, he is not fit to be admitted to citizen ship.
