Reverting to Shoots knowledge of
the marked conditions under which
Lyman was living the witness was
asked If Smoot knew them. He said
Smoot did not; but later under close
questioning that brought out the fact
that everybody knew them he said he
supposed Smoot did, too, adding later
that he took back his statement that
Smoot did not know. In answer to
a question by Overman the witness
said that despite the manifesto of 1890
the president of the church could issue
authority upon an elder to perform
plural marriages. The president holds
the keys" said Lyman.

''That he is the only one who has
any authority"
Worthington asked how it was that
the president could issue authority in
conflict with the manifesto, which is
said to be the law of God and con-
cluded his question thus: "Is be above
the Lord?"
''Oh, a5. he is not above the Lord"
In reply to further questions he said
that man desiring to run for ma
tional Office must get the consent of
President Smith.

DONE BY A BUCKEYE STATE MOB
Only Effort to Prevent the Crime Was
q Plea by the Sheriff, Which
Was Vain.

Springfield, O., March S. = at Ii
o'clock p. N. yesterday a negro named
Richard Dixon was taken from the jail
here and shot to death in the jail yard.
The body was taken from there TO the
corner of Main street and Fountain
avenue and hanged to a telegraph pole,
where the mob spent the next half
hour riddling it with bullets from sew
-eral hundred revolvers. The mob
forced an entrance to the jail by but
ting in the east doors with a railroad
rail.
Sherffs Pleas Were Futile.
The mob gathered early in the night
with the avowed purpose of lynching
the negro, who was from Cynthiana,
Ky. Sheriff Floyd Routzahan appeared
ON the Jail steps and pleaded with the
mob to disperse, but he could be heard
with difficulty. His appeal was inef-
fectual and he was compelled to go
within. There was little or no drunk
enness in the crowd. The jail was
considered practically impregnable and
it was not thought that an attempt
would be made to storm it.
Thought There Was Nothing to Fear.
At 10:45 the police were satisfied
that there was nothing more to fear,
and they with other officials and news
paper men passed freely in and out
of the Jail. Shortly before IL p. m. q
diversion was made by a small crowd
moving from the east doors around to
the south entrance. The police fol-
lowed, and bluff was made at jostling
them off the steps leading up to the
south entrance. The crowd at this
point kept growing whileyells of ''Ho.d
the police Smash the doors" Lynch
the nigger," were made, interspersed
with revolver shots.
Mob Captures the Impregnable Jail.
All this time a party with a heavy
railway rail was beating at the east
door, which shortly yielded to the bat
tering ram as did the inner lattice ircn
doors. The mob then surged through
the east door, overpowered the sheriff,
turnkey and handful of deputies and
began the assault on the inner de-
fenses. Some of these had to be cut
with cold chisels, but the mob had
plenty OF time and no one was hinder
ing its opel ations. When the corridors
were filled by bowling rioters the au-
thorities gave u, the negro and he was
dragged out and lynched as stated.

THE NESTOR COMPANY.
Preparing For Logging Operations.
May Build Railroad.

The Nestor company is making active
pre- paratious for It's logging operations
in Cook county, which will be con.
Quoted on large scale this winter.
Accor dir 6 to current rumors these pre-
paraliuns are to include the construction
of ten miles of railway extending from
Grand Marais into the company's timber

these have been put to work building a
camp, which is to be located about five
miles from town, and making all neces-
sary preliminary arrangements for a
n.ucG larger force 10 come in few days.
We are Informed hat the company will
put 800 men at work on the road within
a very short time and will have it COM
pleted and equipped before the logging
season opens. A tug came in Thursday
with barge Loaded with lumber, tools
and supplies.

Accident at the Mill.

Break No. at the sawmiI occurred on
Wednesday at about noon, when the
large circu ar saw flew to pieces. The
break was caused by defect in the saw,
and is one of those accidents quite
com1non in eawmlll operations. The
principal damage done was the break
ing of the guide, which had to be RI
placed before the mill could start again
Sawyer Bates went to Duluth on the
first boat to secure the necessary parts.
Other less damage, such as pulling and
breaking of bolts, was done, but this was
easily repaired. Extra saws are kept on
hand, SO the loss of saw would not
have caused any delay.
Very fortunately nobody was hurt,
nor was a close call reported. The
rlp-roaring racket caused some excite
ment, hut the men had no time to duck
for cover before the danger was over.
Most of the flying pieces went out
through the roof
Mr.. Bates ret urned last night with the
repairs, and the mill was started again
This afternoon.

DECLARED INSANE.
Mrs. John Erickson is Taken to the
Asylum at Fergus Falls.

Mrs. John Erickson was before the
Probate Court Monday on information of
insanity filed Ivy her husband, and being
d. clared insane was ord-rrd committed
to the asylum at Fergus Falls. She was
taken away on Tuesday by Sheriff Gull
bransen, accompanied by Mrs. Gulbran-
sen. The case attracted a good deal of
attention. Dr.. Mccormick, of Duluth.
and DR.. Houston having examined the
woman, gave it as their opinion that she
WAS insane and her husband and many
neighbors gave evidence tending to show
that SIZE was of unsnurd mind. Mrs.
Erickson fully realized all that was
gong on and protested vigorously
against being taken away. there are
five children in the family and the
mothers parting with her children is
said to have been pitifnl in the extreme.
From exparte statements made by
nelghbors and others It appears that
The woman's troubles have been caused
by an insane jealousy of her husband,
for which there seems to be no grounds.
1t was shown that as a result she grew
to neglect her househo d duties, and
often in fits of rage she would destroy
things hron"ht home to fami by the

The one ear-old baby of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ed. Nunstead was seriously burned last
Wednesday by spiIling a glass Of boil
ing jelly over his face. Mrs. Nunstead
was making jolly, and accidentally placed
a glass filled with the boiling fluid with

the glass and placed it to its mouth to
drink pouring the contents over its face
and neck, i, hicting such a severe burn
that the skin peele off one side of it's

to leave scar but that the baby will
probably outgrow it in time.

man was provided with needle and
thread-and th,mbles for those who
wanted them, and they were given a
free-fo all choice from the unassorted
