The streets of Audubon have been
nearly deserted the past few weeks
Occasionly farmer, his wife or his
daughter, drives in, gets few grocer
les, gets the harness fixed, or a piece
of machinery mended, and hurries
to the agricultural field of operations.
A large number of the young men and
some of the old men of Audubon have
been in the country the past few weeks
helping garner in the big harvest.
Not all those who are able to work
and could get away, have gone, but
nearly all. There are some who are
not tempted from lives of leisure even
by big wages, but we are glad to OBJ
serve they few. 1t is not only ones
duty to himself and family to go to
the country at such times, il he can,
but it is patriotic duty to society
and the community.

AUDUBON C0UNTY'S GREAT DISASTER
Hail Destroys Crops in Nearly one-Fourth of
the County.
STORM OF WIND RAIN AND HAIL MONDAY AFTERNoo
Swept Over the Western Portion
Lincoln to the South Part Oakfeld Township.

protect windows, much glass was bro.
ken. Windmills were blown down by
the dozens. Few buildings in the
county, however, were damaged.
We have no means of knowing what
portion of the losers had hail insur-
ance. The Elkhorn Mutual has hail
department in its company, but it is
reported that owing to the small ter
ritory the company operates on and
the wide prevalence of the storm in
that territory, that the company will
not be able to render much aid to its
members. Many others are insured
in other companies and will receive
assistance.
About fifty loads of hogs were
brought into Audubon from the storm
stricken territory yesterday. Much of
the marketable stock will be turned off
at once.
Some of the small grain can be
moved and some feed got from it,.
Some of the corn may make part
crop. But the disaster is great. Fig
uring conservatively, we think the loss
of five dollars an acre on an average
was sustained on nearly three town
ships. This would run up to over
$500, 600 in this county.
Usually hail storm only takes a
narrow strip, say two or three miles.
A cyclone seldom destroys more than
a quarter of mile strip. But this
exceeded, in the width of the strip and
completeness of the damage, any
storm ever before known in this vicin-
ity. Twenty years ago this summer
a destructive hail storm passed over a
part of the county, but much smaller
part than this one.
But little damage was done in Car
roll county. So far as we can learn
the hail storm started in the edge of
Crawford county, doing a little dam
age west and south of Manning. There
were heavy hail storms in O'Brien
and PocahOntas counties the same
afternoon, but we can not learn that
this was continuation of any of
them. This one extended on down
through Cass county.

MOB IS RULING
IN WYOMING
Two Men Lynched and a
Deputy Sheriff Killed at
Basin
BLOODY BATTLE IS IMMINENT

Red Lodge. Mont July 20. - John
German, who killed his brother about
year ago and ran of with his broth
er's wife. and a man named Walters,
who killed a widow named Hoover, at
the Hot Springs two years ago. be-
cause she refused to m01y him, were
lynched at Basin, Wyo. c. e. Pierce,
a deputy sheriff was killed during the
attack on the jail.
A state OF lawlessness now prevails
IN Northern Wyoming, as a result OF
which all law and order seems to have
been abolished Sheriff Fenton. of Big
Horn county who has arrested num-
Der Of prominent cattlemen near Their
mopolis, has appealed to the governor
OF Wyoming for the assistance Of the
militia in getting his prisoners to the
Basin.
A mob of about SO masked men rode
up the east bank of the Big Horn and
compelled the fcrryman TO carry them
across the river They made no
demonstration until they entered Ba-
sin. when FIVE shots were fired as a
warning Tho mob proceeded at once
to the county jail and fred volley
into the jail. Deputy Pierce and Spe-
cial Deputy Meade were guarding the
prisoners at the time. One bullet grazeC
Meade's shoulder and entered Pierce'i
heart. Members of the mob then tor,
up the telephone poles and battered
the Jail doors down. They first cam,
to Walters. who was crouched in hi
cell, begging piteously for mercy. M
needless torture was resorted to- Wal
ters was shot instantly
The mob next found German. whosl
body was pierced by five bullets anC
was left presumably dead. He fingered
however several hours.
A still more alarming state of affairs
is reported from the vicinity of Their
mopolis. About six weeks ago. as 1
result Of a range feud that has been s,
bitterly waged, a sheep man, Ben Min
nick. was killed by cattlemen Tit
sheriff, IL is asserted, has captured thu
murderers, who are all prominent cat
/ tlemen and whose names have beer
withheld owing to threats made agains
the sheriff Sheriff Fenton is unable
TO get his prisoners to Basin. It Il
said the same mob that lynched Cor
man and Walters are sympathizers
and have declared that Sheriff FentoI
will never get out of the locality aliv'
with his prisoners. Sheriff Fenton ha
wired the governor of Wyoming fo
permission TO use the state militia n
lander. and has also sent a telephon
message TO Basin and other towns ask
Ing for volunteers to assist htm in up
holding the law. Everywhere hard!
westerners are responding to the call
arming themselves and hasteninl
toward Thermopolis Il is probabl
the militia will be ordered TO the seem
and a bloody battle may be fought
The country in that vicinity is a wilt
and lawless one. The last messag
from Sheriff Fenton said he still hell
the prisoners. and that he believed n
could hold out until reinforcement
came.
