with numbering Police oficer c. Leslie last
night. News OF the capture late this after
noon spread rapidly and the Jail was
speedily surrounded by hundreds of peo-

the jail steps and made a strong plea for
law and order. This temporarily stayed
the mob but did nos appease II and short
time after 1t started to batter in a sec
tion Of the Jail wall. Every effort was
made to prevent the entrance OF the mob,
but without avail and within fifteen min
utes the infuriated men had gained en-
trance and secured the trembling negro.
AS he was dragged forth Mr.. Decker
again interfered and urged that the negro
be given a trial. For half an hour he
talked and the mob listened with the ne
gro in their custody. At one time 1t seemed
as II he would win. as members of the mob
began to disperse. The ringleaders, how
ever, would not be withheld and rushed
their prisoner to a telegraph pole.

One hundred and fifty Nebraska Tele-
phone company linemen and the linemen

this morning unless their demands for
recognition Of their union, more pay and
less work are met by their employers.
The strike will include the linemen and
inspectors not only in Omaha, but in Lin
coin and other towns of the state, all the
linemen in Nebraska, in fact, according
to e. J. Stark, business agent of the union.
I'VE informed the companies that unless
our demands we're met by 10 o'clock to-
night we would call the strike" said Mr..
Stark at IL o'clock last night, "and we viii
be as good as our word. We want nine
hour day in the cities at $2.75 a day and
full recognition OF the union. We are now
getting $3.50 for ten hours in the cities
and from $25 to $45 a moath in the coun-
try"

Of the Nebraska Telephone company, was
asked earlier last night about the po-
sition Of his company in the controversy
but beyond admitting that the men had
made these demands he preferred not ia
talk until he had heard definitely and finally
from the linemen.
The linemen at work for the electric light
companies will not strike, as those com
panies are unionized, having fully recog-
nized the organization. There is, there
fore, no grievance against them, This
