The Settlers Win.


There is no encouragement for
Russell Sage in the result of the first
hearing in court in his suits against
the homestead settlers in Swift aud
adjoining counties. Four of thesa
cases were tried at the ado !. ID term
at Benson last week, in which Fred
erick Kohlman, Theodore Maxwell,
Henry Mustermyn and Fred Peters
were defendants, involving tracts of
land in the towns of Hegbert and
Shible. In the first two cases quest
ions of fact concerning the manner in
which the attempted selection of 1885
was made, also as to the value of i'm
provements on the land, were submit
ted to jury. The verdict sustained
the contention of the settlers in every
particular.
IT, questions o law were submit
ted to the court and will be finally
argued at WiIlmar on the 18th day OF
July. In case an appeal is then taken
this will insure the submission of the
cases at the October term of the Su-
preme court-Appleton Press.

Citizens Take Law in Their Own
Hands.
Special to The State.

st. George, Nov. 2S.-To be
chronicled in the annals of crime
for Dorchester county is the deed
of a rape fiend, and his summary
punishment at the hands of infu
rated citizens.
Another white home has been
despoiled and another poor brute
has been hunted with hounds and
bored with buckshot.
News was received here last
night of an assault by a negro
upon a young lady at Ross, a
station about eight miles distant
from here, at 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and Immediately a
posse from this place left for tt,
scene of the trouble.
Before night there was gather
ed in the quiet little town of
Ross mob aggregating 200 or
300 men from the adjacent towns
and country, bent upon ven.
geance.
Bloodhounds were put on tn
trail at 1.30 o'clock this morning,
and before many hours passed
they had bounded to his den
John Fogle, a negro, the perpe-
traitor of the heinous crime.
Speedily he was brought be,
fore his victim and Identified.
The mob then, with the vic
tim, fastened into the woods
near a swamp, where the fellow
had been captured, and there, to
tell the dark story, is to be seen
the negro's body pendant from
The limb of a tree riddled with
shot.
Fortunately, by the brave fight
of the lady, who is a member of
a prominent family, the brute
failed in his diabolical purpose,
but the lady was badly bruised
by being choked. 1t has ever
been the proud boast of Dor
chester county that her criminal
annals contained no record OF
this heinous crime.

Hard to Convince

Washington, Nov. 30-It

minister at Bogota, has several
different propositions from the
Colombian government since the
publication OF the last correspOn.
dence, except containing some
indirect method OF rectifying what
the COlOmbians themselves now
regard as fatal blunder of per-
mitting the Hay Herran treaty to
expire last September. Mr.. Bau.
pre- for his part is using his best
efforts to make it clear to the
Colombian officials that the trea-
ty is dead beyond resurrection
and that he cannot even conduct
negotiations looking to the acQui-
sltiOn from Colombia OF a right
of way across the isthmus located
in an independent republic over
which Colombia has no authority.
