A man who was standing in the mob
while Sheriff Whitlock and his deputies

CHESTERFIELD'S BIG DAY
OVER 5000 PERSONS AT THE GREAT
SPIRITUAL CAMP.
Investigation of Mediums Under Way
by the Camp AuthOrfties-The Days
Lectures and Services.

Special to tho Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, July 26.-At the Ches-
terrified Camp of the Indiana Association of
attendance to-day established a new record
for the second Sunday of the annual camp
meeting. There were nearly four thousand
paid admissions. More than a thousand
children were admitted free, and with the
people living in camp during the meeting
there was a total of over six thousand
people present. With dinners and suppers
spread on the ground throughout the ap-
pearance was suggested of a great park or
picnic ground.
The camp auditorium was taxed to it's ut
most capacity at the morning and after
noon lectures. Mrs. Cary Carpenter, of De-
troit, spoke at 10 o'clock and also in the
afternoon. The Rev. DR.. Il. +. Austin, of
Toronto, delivered lecture in the after
noon the tenets of spiritualism. Incl
dentally he said that for sixteen years he
was president of a Methodist seminary at
st. Thomas, Canada, but was turned out
because he began investigating spirituaism
and finally became converted to it. Mrs.
Maggie Waite, a medium of San Francisco,
gave nearly one hundred demonstrations
of spirit messages and mind reading.
Among written questions sent up to her
was one by well-known man who, in a
spirit of humor, inquired how long his wife
had been in the spirit land. but the medium
raised her voice when she came to his
query and shouted that his wife was sitting
by his side at that very minute and the
truth of 1t caused a round of laughter in
otherwise solemn proceedings.
The official body began an investigation
of mediums to ascertain as to their gen.
uineness and ability, but it was stated to-
ceeded far enough to make an official re-
port.

TWO MEN MAY DIE.
General Cutting ARRAY Over Two
Women West of Vincennes.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
VINCENNES, Ind, July pa cutting
ARRAY took place late this afternoon just
across the river from this city as the re-
suit of which one person will die and prob
ably two. Six men and two women. with
two kegs of beer, were soon in a fighting
humor.
The men began to quarrel over the wom-
en- and. Louis Scheers stabbed Bill Lanyam
once in the head, then slashed his throat.
Lanham fell desperately wounded. The
fight continued, and when the battle was
over Jack Harvey had been stabbed twice,
once in the back and once In the left side
and he probably will die. Henry Epperson
had his left arm badly cut and Dick Wade
received a wound in the left cheek. Birdie
Wyant, one of the women. was badly cut
about the face and neck. Lanham was TAX
en- to a doctor, but he cannot recover.
Sheriff Carr, of Lawrenceville, happened
along about that time and arrested Scheer
and the Wyant woman end took them to
the Lawrenceville jail.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, July 26.-It Is now
an open secret here that the promoters of
the Indianapolis Southern have not only
hundreds of acres of land in western Mon
roe and eastern Greene county under OPP
ton for coal. oil and mineral purposes. but
they believe that valuable iron ore has
been found. The line of the road will be so
ington and direct to Bloomfield so as to go
through the center of this territory. Last
December agents were sent through this
section and options were taken on all the
farm lands with the right OF prospecting,
and within the last month two sets of men
have been testing the land with drills, over
twenty different holes being made. An
expert has been over the territory after
an analysis of the drillngs and declares
the ore is of the best. He and w. Z. Ste
venson, of Indianapolis, spent last week
going over all the land.
In this connection it Is interesting to re-
call that almost fifty years ago a furnace
was erected near Stamford, this county,
and for several years many men worked at
digging iron ore, and it was made into
stoves, ovens and kitchen utensils, many
of which are now in use, but. with later
railroad facilities from the East, the prod
uct here could not compete in the market
and the furnace was abandoned, although
the quality of ore was recognized as first
class. 1t was from the older citizens that
the indianapolis Southern people got the
information on which they have been work.

There is much excitement in the vicinity
among the farmers over the prospects of
the new developments. The territory is
about fourteen miles west of the oolitic

speed and met the freight head on, just
after the limited had rounded a curve at
Vlasaty. The morning was foggy and
neither engineer saw the other in time to
stop, although the engineer of the limited
had applied the air brakes.
That the two trains came together with
terrific force was evidenced by the fact
that both engines were badly damaged, but
they remained standing upright on the
tracks. The baggage and buffet cars were
completely wrecked and turned crosswise
the tracks. The first sleeper back of the
buffet was badly smashed and the four
rear cars remained intact. These cars
were used to bring the dead and injured to
st. Paul and Minneapolis, where the in
jured were given surgical attendance.
None of the passengers were seriously in
jured, but cuts and bruises were freely dis
tributed. and the utmost confusion pre-
aviled, following the impact of the trains.
The baggageman was buried beneath a
pile of trunks when the car was lifted off
the tracks, but was taken out uninjured.
The baggage struck small building
and one end broke through the side of the
structure. Three cars in the freight were
wrecked, of them containing a number
of sheep, which were killed. The wreck de-
layed traffic for several hours.

NEdRESS HANGED BY MOB
sur WAS ACCUSED OF HAVING
POISONED A WHITE GIRL.
Denied the Truth of the Charge to the
Last-Body Riddled with Bullets
After the Hanging.
SHREVEPORT.

SHREVEPORT, La, July 26.-News
reached Shreveport to-day that the negress
Jennie Steer, who administered poison in a
glass of lemonade to Lizzie Dolan. The six
teen-year-old daughter of John Dolan. from
the effects of which she died, was lynched
by an Infatuated mob at shutdown last night.
The lynching occurred on the Beard planta-
ton. near the spot where the woman's
crime was committed. Jennie Steer was
stubborn to the last. denying her crime.
1t is claimed the negress fled from the
Dolan household as soon as she discovered
that her crime was known. She was pur-
sued by a posse, who found her crouching
in a hayloft. She refused to come out and
had to be dragged from the place. Asked
why she had poisoned Miss Dolan the ne
gress Indignantly denied the commission of
the crime. She was taken TO the Doian
homestead and fully identified as the wom-
an who had placed the poison in the lem
onade.-
The mob then took her to a near by tree,
placed a rope around her neck and again
asked her to confess. She was stubborn to
the last, however, and was strung up with
out making any admissions. While the body
was dangling in midair several bullets were
fired into it by the enraged citizens.
The poisoning of Miss Dolan created in
tense excitement in the neighborhood of the
crime. The victim OF the poison was
beautiful young white girl, who was not
known to have an enemy i'm the world. She
died in horrible agony. a fact which accen-
tuated the rage of the mob. The funeral
of Miss Dolan occurred this morning, and
it was attended by hundreds of persons.
There is a growing suspicion that this
negress was connected with the murder OF
Mrs. Frank Mathews, whose horrible death
startled the people of this section several
months ago. She was a negress of forbid
ding aspect. but a good servant, and Mrs.
Mathews kept her against the protests of
her son and daughter.
