MYERS LYNCHED
Came to His Death at the
Hands of Mob.

ndnOS Vi MOO.
Thomas NJ. Meyers, who killed
George Brownlee and shot Wallace
Jarrett near Crooks corall on May
Is, was taken from Deputy Sher-
iff Seay last Thursday morning on
the road from White Bird and
hanged. Myers had been taken
from here Wednesday to White
Bird where he was given prelim-
mary examination before Judge F.
z. Taylor who held him to appear
at the district court. After the
trial he was taken to w. A. New
mans hotel and later that evening
rumors reached Deputy Sheriff
Seay that an effort would be made
to lynch the prisoner that night
and thata posse was already or
ganized for that purposes. This
he 500 found to be true and what
was worse the feeling against Mey-
ers was SO bitter that it was impos-
sible to get anyone to take any
active part in his protection.
Armed men paraded every street
and no one was permitted to leave
or enter the town who was suspects
ed of wanting to interfere with
their plans. 1t was expected that
the attack would be made about
midnight but several ladies were
stopping in the hotel, two of whom
were i'll, andTit was feared an at
tack might cause serious results.
Through respect for the ladies the
mob agreed to postpone their job
until the next day but declared
that it wonld be useless to try to
get the prisoner away.
The next morning the streets
were practically deserted but no
one suspected that the mob had
Abandoned their purpose. About
8 o'clock Mr.. Seay with Constable
Roy Gordon started with Meyers
for Grangeville but when this side
Of the Hawley ranch abont two
miles this side of White Bird they
discovered men on horse back at
several points in front of them and
knew that the critical moment had
come. Getting out of sight of the
watchers Mr.. Seay got the prisoner
on horse and turning the buggy
over to Constable Gordon deter
mined to make run through the
hills in hopes of escaping in that
way. They had gone but a short
distance until they were again con
fronted by the mob who with
drawn guns demanded the prison
er. Mr.. Say begged earnestly for
his prisoner but resistance was
useless as there were about 80 men
in the mob and nothing could stop
them in their purpose. They or
dered Seay to return TO town and
the crown started toward the
mountrins with their man. As
soon as the news became known
searching parties started out and
Myers was found hanging to a tree
near where he was taken from the
deputy sheriff. The body was
taken back to White Bird where it
was buried after coroner's jury
was empanelled and although the
, inquest is being held today it
would be easy to guess what the
verdict will be.
All during the trouble the lynch
ers were orderly and quiet yet their
( every action they showed a grim
determination to make the wretch.
ed prisoner expiate the crime he
, had so recklessly committed.

Arriving at a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, Aug. l. (Spec1al)-
In this section Of Pennsylvania there Is
a growing belief that for such Kidney
Diseases as Rheumatism and Lame
Back there is only one sure cure and
that Is Dodd's Kidney Pills. This be-
lief grows from such cases as that Of
Mrs. M. L. Dawson Of this place. She
tells the story herself as follows:
II have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine have ever taken. l
was also bothered with Lame Back
and can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since l took Dodd's Kid
ney Pills"
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes Of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonder
full If it were not that others are re-
porting similar results daily. Kushe-
qua is fast arriving at verdict that
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism"

on strike they had to get out. Some
left voluntarily; some were evicted. An
exodus began from the place and the
roads leading to the woods rented by
the strikers were filled with wagons
containing household goods. The ma
jority of the strikers went into camp
at Camp Turner, near Christopher.
Some secured temporary shacks scat
tered about. A few went to neighbor-
ing settlements.
Immediately Letter filled the town
with armed guards and sent out in
ducemants for non-union men to enter
the place to work. ''No trespass" signs
were hung around and telephones were
installed on trees for the greater con-
venience of the private police. Mean
time the strikers at Camp Turner are
not inactive. They have thrown out
pickets to intercept the entry of non
union men.

WHOLE TOWN EvlcTED.
Astonishing Industrial War at the
Town of Ziepier. III.

astonishing Industrial War at the
Town of Ziegier, Ill.
The town Of Zeigler, ILL.,, bids fair
to achieve the notoriety Of another
Cripple Creek on account of its Nbor
troubles. Practically the entire work
ing population Of the place has been
evicted and men, women and children
are housed in tents in the woods five
miles distant The town itself, which
is private property and owned by Jo-
| seph Letter, of Chicago, is an armed
camp. Guards, with rifles and revol-
vers, parade the streets and dominate
every avenue Of approach. The coal
mine and coke works, where the men
now living in tents were formerly en-
ployed, is surrounded by a high stock
ade, inside of which and outside of
which heavily armed men, with In
structions to shoot If proyocation La
given, parade by day and night. No
person is allowed within the town linn
its unless he can show permit or give
a plausible excuse for his presence.
Those who are unable to measure up
with these requirements are escorted
out Of the vicinity of the settlement
and are impressed with the prudence
of not returning.
This peculiar and dangerous condi-
ton of affairs was precipitated by the
failure Of the miners and Joseph Lei
ter, the sole owner Of the mines, coke
works and town, to agree on the ques-
ton of wages. Letter submitted a
schedule of wages, which the men re-
fused to consider The men claimed
that the scale was below that paid by
mine owners in other sections Of the
State, and it's acceptance would mean
reduction by competitive employers
of labor, who would be placed at a dis
advantage in the market
Whereupon Letter began to apply the
vast power that lies in his hands. AS
said, Letter owns the town. Every
inch of land is his. No one can pur-
chase a lot there, even churches and
like institutions having to be salts
fed with leases instead of deeds. One
of the conditions upon which an en-
ploye is allowed to rent a house is that
he shall, upon twenty-four hours no
tice, vacate the premises after his
name has been dropped from the roll
call. Accordingly when the men went
