 CIRCLE. Jan. 3D.-There are l50 men building town across from the Belt and Hendricks station, near She government reservation. No building material or mining tools are to be had. The town is called Panama City. Lot jumping is fast and furious. Physical force is freely used to enforce real or imaginary rights. Provisions are getting scarce, with prospects that everything will be sold out in few weeks. Scott, the freighter, who went over last fall from here with eight head of stock to haul iwire for the government line is ]. hauling log. for the new town and is charging $3.50 for the smalles,
 .
 of the logs. Belt and Hendricks are moving over. to the new town. Pay, running from three to thirty has been found in five creeks. No rich pans on bedrock on any of them, but gravel all the way from five to fifteen feet thick. carrying ! ray'all the way.
 On Goldstream 70 men are work ing taking out dumps. That creek Is 15 miles long and in places three claims wide. Pay has been found to run. the whole width. Pedro i creek seems to turn out much bet ter above than below discovery. Jack Costa Italian Jack) has twelve holes to bedrock extending 800 feet in length and l50 in width. Lieut.. Gibbs, U. $. signal service is reported to. have banned, pros pected amt computed Jacks claim and gave as his estimate that there is two millions in sight 'on Jacks claini alone
 Clary creek seems to be the same as Goldstrcam, holding small pay in the gravel wherever dug down. Clary- has not had as much work done on it as either Pedro or Gold stream. e"
 Bear and Wolf have one hole to bedr9ck each with reported work ing pay on both. Claim owners are reported to hunt for men high and low to go to work, offering $l.5O per hour. From 400 to 600 men are reported to be now in the camp. Rampant, ,.Weare and Nome which ,are reached by wire from the diggings, all report big stam- pedes from their town to- the new diggihgs. The Rampant stamped CTS have mostly reached the new diggings and it is they. that seem. to be making the most trouble by way of shotgun. demonstrations.
 Tommy Young has written to Petre here, verifying all that is said above, and sending in to Petre a large number of location notices to record. 70 Petre received another letter from man called the Ely ing Swede" which seems to be of the.same Import.
 Bob Geise' received a letter from his partner,,- George Harrington, who,, with. AL.

audience of about 800. The weather
was fine. Judge Wood was met at the

merry friends and supporters of Gov.
Davis.
Gov. Davis opened with speech of
an hour and half, along his usual
lines, but failed to arouse much enthu-
siasm.
Mr.. Vandeventer followed in Wig
orous arraignment of the governor
and met with generous applause.
Judge Wood closed the debate with
a dignified but forceful speech. Wood

particular interest, being for the most

COX's MURDERER
LYNCHED AT BRINKLEY
Citizens Avenge Death of Officer
Prisoner Made Terrible Fight For
His First Shot Then Hung.

Brinkley Nov. S.-For the first time
in the history of Brinkley Judge
Lynch held bloody session last night
Zallie Q. Cadle, the assassin of Police
man j. @. Cox, being the victim. Mr..
Cox died shortly after 10 O'Clock last
night, from the effects of the cash cut
in his neck by Cadle about O'Clock
yesterday afternoon.
From the best evidence obtainable
a squad of five to ten men visited the
calaboose between II and O'Clock
last night, forced open the outer door,
broke the cell lock and speedily
wreaked bloody vengeance upon the
victim.
sIMoNs ESCAPED.
Charlie Simons, who was locked up
in the cell next to Cadle for compiled
ty in assailing Policeman Cox, says he
was awakened in the night by the
electric lights being turned out and by
the noise of footsteps in the prison.
He at first thought the marshal was
bringing in another prisoner, but
presently heard them ask his fellow
prisoner, Cadle, how he felt He said
they seemed to have no trouble in
opening the cell door and a scuffle en-
sued. Then he heard voice say,
tStand back am going to shoot"
Immediately three or four shots were
fred. Then he thought a seufie &C.
CURED inside of the prison and more
shots were fired Then the party
left the prison and he (Simons) heard
one or two shots on the outside,
which was all he knew.
BROKE AWAY FROM CAPToRs.
Other evidence seems to show that
the victim broke away from his cap
tors just outside of the prison and ran
through the front gate of a house just
across the street from the prison on
the west side and on to the back OF
of the garden about 900 feet, where he
was overtaken and killed by his cap
tors.
A man living in the house, hearing
shots fired and the noise of tramping
feet, got up and saw four or five men
running through the yard and i'm
mediately heard four shots fired back
of the garden, where clots of blood,
other evidences of a scufle and the
4 victims hat were seen this morning.
From this spot the mob carried
their man about 200 feet east and
swung him to a telegraph pole near
the prison.
Coroner w. w. Chinault impaneled
a jury this morning and they rendered
a verdict to the effect that Cadle
came to his death at the hands of par
ties unknown, and that he was after
ward hanged.
