Hon. j. D. Atkinson left for Olympia
Tuesday, after spending several days in
Wenatchee and vicinity greeting old
friends and meeting those who have
settled in this valley since he left it to
take the State Authorship. From
comments made by those who met him
for the first time, it appears that he
made very good impression, and the
prevailing opinion seems to be that
from political standpoint and from a
business view he should receive the
solid Endorsement of this county at the
Republican convention.
1t is rumored that William Little, OF
Chelan, although not seeking it, is not
averse to accepting the nomination for
County Auditor, if the republicans OF
this county should nominate him. Mr..
Little is young man of good charac-
ter and ability. He has resided in We

two years, going to Chelan occasionally
to reside on his homestead. His parents
settled at Lakeside when the county
was new, and he has resided here every

the author of the Ohio law providing a
heavy penalty for participation in mobs,
was for two or three days in possession
of a mob as wild and ungovernablc as
the average southern negro burning
mob. In this as in all southern in
stances @ negro was the cause. A negro
by the name OF Dixon, under very pro-
voking circumstances, killed a popular
police officer. The mob took Dixon
from Jail and hung him and then ven
ted its savageness in shooting into the
body some hundred times. Having be-
come aroused, the mob spirit further
exhibited itself in burning out all that
portion of the city in which the negroes
lived. Finally the governor was APP
pealed to and sent five thousand troops
to preserve order OF course after the
mob had accomplished all it had set out
to do, and driven all all the negroes out
of the city, order was restored.
1t is said that the cause for the out
break is the fact that several murders,
together with other crimes, have lately
been committed in Springfield, many Of
which are charged against the negro
population, and that in almost every
case the perpetrators have escaped pun
ishment.
1t is the same old story. Where those
who are charged with executing the
law fail to do their duty the people will
rise in their might and do it for them
And the people of the north will do it
just as promptly as those of the south.
