Duluth, May ga sensational MUIR
der and attempted lynching occurred
at Brevatir, small hamlet in this
county yesterday morning. A cook in
a boarding car became involved in

after securing a rope, with the inten-
ton of lynching the cook. He barri
caded the doors, however, and stood
guard with a drawn revolver. He held
the door against the crowd until a
deputy sheriff came. An engine was
hitched on the car and it was pulled
rapidly to ClouQuet, where the murder
er was locked up. The crowd was bit
terly disappointed in losing its victim
and threw stones at the car as long
as it was sighted.

1t is believed that the Presbyterian
church fairly equals or surpasses the
other great denominations in all lines
of church affinity excepting this col
lege work alone. Only money is lack
ing, and the church has it. The num-
Der of colleges can be increased at
any time, as there are outstanding
offers of land and buildings, provided
we can help the new institutions to
meet current expenses until endow-
ment is secured. More than one-haf
of the whole number Of our churches
gave nothing for this cause last year.
The board aided last year 25 in
IstitutiOns-12 colleges, II academies
and one special. There has been gen.
eral increase in students in attendance,
often to an embarrassing degree.
Buildings, faculties and apparatus are
insufficient for the demand, and the
board is not able to furnish sufficient
money for more teachers or buildings.
The receipts in 1923 were $1S5,963,
as compared with s222.S36 in 1902.
Board of Education Reports.
The board of education reported
that it had received during the year
S74 $50, of which $49,051 came from
churches, Sabbath schools, young peo-
pies societies and individuals, an in
crease of $1,000 as compared with the
previous year. The board paid out to
students $58,S59. The amount re-
ceived from legacies and other sources
| has been sufficient to enable them to
make up the deficiency and to put
/ $1,000 into the reserve fund. The
Iyear has closed without debt. The
total candidates enrolled during the
Iyear is Gil, of whom 176 are new
| candidates and 436 are candidates
who have been under the care of the
! board in previous years. The increase
last year was 10; this year it is Sc
! Thus far the candidates for the
ministry have shown, on the whole, a
| commendable disposition to comply
with the requirements of four years
college course; and yet it must be
acknowledged frankly that some come
to the seminary very inadequateIy
prepared, notwithstanding the fact
/ lu0y almost 1uVdT1aDly nave, as our
rules demand, a college diploma to
| show at their matriculatiOn.
Relief of Ministers.
| The abstract of the report Of the
board of relief showed that there
| were upon the roll for the year 903
inames-379 ministers. 467 widows,
81 orphan families, one medical mis-
! sionary and IA guests in the home at
Perth Amboy, N. J. The average
amount paid to the ministers on the
retired roll was 1888. During the
year SO new names were added to the
roll of annuitants. The deaths were
81. The receipts were 1892, 315-the
largest since the work was organize l.
Collections were received from 1889
churches, 1927 failing to send any
contribution. The board present re-
ported that there are unmistakable
evidences that the church is waking
up to a better realization of the i'm
perative obligation it is under to the
aged men who constitute the old
guard of the kings army.

Missions.

The report of the board of missions
for freedmen said that the year just
closed has discovered some facts
which are calculated to greatly en-
courage those interested in the mis-
sions of the freedmen. The increased
popular attention to the condition Of
the negro in our land, the vigorous
and serious public discussion of his
needs, his capacities and his future
must be productive of a lasting good.
The year was closed without debt and
with a small balance. The receipts
were S1S,954. The number of helping
churches was 1895, gain of 244 as
compared with last year. The number
of churches that help by congrega-
tional collections was 4,125, an in
crease of 12S. In our boarding
schools 1854 young men and women
have not only received instruction in
the ordinary branches of education,
but have enjoyed the training of
Christian home and the influence and
association of earnest, refined and
educated instructors. The number OF
ministers under care is 211, having
the pastoral care of 33S churches.
That the year has been one of pro
gress and encouragement will be seen
by the number of additions on pro-
fession, 1876, and the total member
ship 20,746 is significant of great
leavening and elevating power. The
amount contributed by churches and
schools for self-support was S94,730.
The permanent investments are S104,-
$50 and the value of property,
mortgages, etc, is sS66,840.
Sunday Observance.
The special committee on Sabbath
observance expressed its strong convic-
ton that the sacred character of the
Sabbath must be carefully and strenu-
ously maintained; voiced it's emphatic
disapproval of all secular uses Of the
day, all games and sports, all social
functions, all travelling for pleasure, all
excursions by land or water; urges all
officers and boards CT directors of cor
porate industry and all employers Of
labor to subordinate if need be, s5e
matter of dividends to the demands Of
this divine law; condemned seVen-day
journalism; and deprecated the prac-
tice of turning the congressional clock
backward in order to 1egalize the pas
sage of bills on Sunday.

CASE IS THROWN
OUT OF COURT
Lewis ana Clark Road Squabble Has
Come to an Abrupt End

The famous Lewis and Clark road
case is nov 10 more. The court yes
terday called halt to all testimony
and directed the jury to return a ver-
dict of not guilty. An error in the in
formation regarding the location of the
road and other questions of legality
that crept in impelled the court to as
sumo the attitude It did. The infor-
nation had the road located in the
eastern portion of section 6, township
I. north, range 8, west, VIXEN, as a mat
ter of fact, the highway is in the west
ern part NJ the section, This fact de-
veloped in the testimony taken and
was indisputable. Then, too, the at
torney for the defense showed that
the official who made the survey had
no authority so to do, inasmuch as he
had not taken his oath of office, and
the survey, therefore, could not be ac-
counted as legal. Also the affidavits
relating to the publication and posting
Of notices we're not correctly carried
out. While at the time the objection
was made proceedings were not stop
ped, 1t was quite apparent they would
be ani so when later the case was
thrown out of court it was a sequel
that did not prove great surprise.
The position Of the contestants is
now curious one; They have no le-
gal road. This is unfortunate as the
expense Of improving the highway can
not OF necessity rest upon the county
until a survey is established. The
final opinion in the case is still forth
coming, but 1t is freely predicted II
viii be in accordance with the evidence
as developed.
District Attorney Allen has been ap-
pealed 10 and his report viii be decis-
i've in the matter.
The defendants in the case were p.
F. Leibke, j, N, Heckard and u p.
Heckard, They were charged with
injurlng u public highway; 1t was
shown that the highway was not a
public one and naturally the charge
could not he held against them,
Until the district attorney renders his
report the matter will rest where 1t is.
After that a new survey must be made
which will require time and expense
and so the end Is not yet.
