LYNCHING SENTIMENT IN
ILLINOIS.

We read in the esteemed Chicago
Record-Herald the story Of the
brutal murder of a 17-year- old girl
in Cook country. a few miles from
Chicago. We quote a paragraph
from the story:
With the return of the father
soon afterward the search was or
ganized, and scores of enraged men
took up the man hunt. For miles
around the alarm was spread, until
every available man in the village
and in the adjacent farming COM
munity had enlisted as vigilance
If the guilty man IS caught he
will be strung up to the nearest
tree, said Deputy Sheriff Ike
Kuebler over the telephone at mid
night. I know the sentiment
prevailing, and realize that Il would
be useless for me to oppose It. l
know duty as & guardian OF the
law, but there are scores OF enrag-
ed farmers out on the hunt, and l
would be unable to do anything
single-handed.
The Chicago papers have had
much to say on The lynching sub
iect when the scene Of the horror
/ happened to be il the South, but
/ there is not q line about this affair,
/ in the way Of comment. The en-
ragged farmers on the hunt in Il
| linois seem to be about the same
sort Of people we occasionally find
in Southern communities. They
took their ropes with them for the
purpose of stringing the murderer
up in the event of his capture.
If "a lynching has been averted,
/ it is because the brute made his
escape into Chicago, and not be
cause Of any lack Of lynching sen
timent in Cook county.
We merely mention the matter
to impress upon the Chicago paper
which contained the story that
there IS a splendid field for its mis-
siouary work right at its own doors.
We are doing the best we can with
our troubles, but do not need the
I assistance Of those whose efforts
could be better expended at home.

We are, happily, in a position
to be able to report that there was
but little damage done, compare
lively speaking, to property III the
valley of the Rio Grande. by the
late overflow, below here. Except
for three or four individual cases,
previously reported IN these col
umns, the loss Of live stock has
been surprisingly small; taken in
the aggregate, being insignificant.
The food-waters OF the Rio
Grande got no higher at Santa Ma

this place, and all points above, the
rise was much higher lhisyear than

further explanation OF the subject,
the reader would naturally become
mystified and puzzled, with the

not as much water II the channel

Why not? The explanation IS
simple; A vast quantity of the over
flow waters were conveyed to the
Gulf via the Arroyo Colorado,
which, when full from bank to
bank rivals the Rio Grande itself
in size at high-tide and a flood
on. This has happened before and

matter of waiting for another big
rise. From reading the San An
tonic Express OF the 3rd inst,
(front page-dispIay type) a
stranger would be led to believe
that the Rio Grande had left
Brownsville and the lower country
for good. The truth of the matter
is, that while the Arroyo Colorado
is right now running full of water
the Rio Grande Is running fuller.

that draw bucket over his head?
Blessed il I wouldn't "a been wiIlin' to

The idea seemed so humorous to
Happy Steve that the story ended in
a long, hearty laugh, interpolated by
humorous comments on an imaginary
conversation between his Satanic
Majesty and Black Jack, with the
draw bucket presenting difficulties in
the way Of mutual recognition.

an over he went, with the draw bucket
stuck fast an a-smotherin' his squeals.
The hunlor of the situation-ghastly
humor, perhaps-so struck all hands,
due more to Steves manner than to
his words, that all burst cut into a
long guffaw. The idea of Black Jack
diving to his death with a draw bucket
over his head seemed ridiculously
funny.
We'll fellers,' said Steve, after he
had wiped the tears from his own eyes,
'the ship was goin' bare three knots,
an the moon was out. Ifcould see the
white foam spot where he went down,
an aft 1 runs to the log line an
watches. VIII We believe me-but it's
true-all of sudden sees that white
canvas draw bucket pop up with his
two arms a-wavin' on each side of it.
An there was them bow legs o. his a
waggin' behind, like crabs nippers- oh,
say, fellers-"
Again Steve went off into peals Of
merriment. Finally he was able to
resume.
'Well, boys, 1 Jest leaned over the
rail an larfed fit to burst myself. The
way he was tryin' TO holler through

The canvas draw bucket was a-lyin
on the skylight, an it looked so much
like cork helmet couldn't help won

to the skylight an cut off the rope.
Then 1 tried it on my head, an 1T

it'll jest fit Black Jack, a tight Mt,

until 1 stands jest in back o. Black
Jack. His head was jest in daisy

bucket above it, an down / pumps
it-jest jammed it down tight to his
shoulders.
We'll, fellers, ye'd "a larfed to see

Happy Steve often again referred 20
the murder he had committed. and each
time he sprinkled his story with hearty
laughter.
When we arrived in Australia Happy
Steve cleared out for the Swan River
gold diggings. Later. we heard that
he net his finish there. but he died as
he liveG-in a humorous way The ac-
count we had stated that he cracked
some joke up there that wasn't ap-
preciated BY the English miners, and
that it precipitated a shooting scrape.
When the smoke cleared away three
of Steve's opponents were stretched
out. but he himself had cracked his
last Joke When told that his Ameri-
can humor had not been understood,
he chuckled immOderately and then
died. This account may not be ex-
actly true, but it was characteristic Of
him.
Some years later I met a man who
had been on the Southern Cross on
that same eventful trip, and when
asked him who was bos'n's mate at
the time, he replied:
