TEXAS TROOPS
TO PREVENT
A LYNCH|NG

Houston, Texas, Oct. Gov. Ian
hatn last night ordered two military
companies from Houston to Edna,
where the citizens threaten to burn at
the stake Monk Gibson, the negro &C.
cused of the murder Of the Conditt
family. The searchers are still con-
fident Of capturing Gibson.
1t is believed that the officers pos
sibly have the negro in hiding ami
that the troops have been sent to
escort Gibson to Houston, where
there is a mob-proof jail.
Mr. Beasley, father of the murdered
Mrs. Conditt, took the field In person
at the head Of the 200 negroes upon
whom he believes he can rely.
With troops at Edna, there is no
longer possibility Of burning, but 1t
is very probable the negro will be put
to Death II he Is caught In the timber
By any posse.

S. S. DAVIS ANSWERS QUERIES
Attempt to Solve Difficult Problem
Connected With Raising Dam
for Canal Waters.

One problem after another confronts
the farmers who are trying to decide
upon some plan of operation along
Rock river in conformity with the in
tentions of the government Sixty-nine
thousand dollars has been appropriated
by congress for the work on the canal
to furnish more water and the ques-
ton has arisen as to which is the most
feasible, dyke and dam or the dredg-
ing OF the river.
Committeeman Resign.

ment of the committee TO confer with
Col. Durham. of the engineering de-
partTent. the next disturbance arose
at a meeting Saturday. Two of the

tain charges of intrigue that had been
made some protesting to believe that
Mr.. Butterworth and S. S. Davis were
operating with the government for per-
sonal privileges.
=. =. Davis Answers.
After Chairman Weckel reported up
on the conference with Col. Durham,
which was practically that competent
engineers should be hired TO go over
the ground and decide upon a feasible
course. S. s. Davis was called upon for
information. In answer TO the charges
of collision. he said:
II am here TO answer any charges
that you may like TO make or to ans
wer any questions. I may say to start
with. that neither Mr.. Deere nor Mr..
Butterworth have a penny's interest in
any Rock river water power scheme"
In answer to the question as TO
what interested him in this scheme,
he said:
THE governments proposition to
raise the dam two feet struck me at
first as a good thing for the water
power below. but on investigation |
have changed my mind. So far as
am personally concerned, | wouldn't
turn my hand over to have the dam
raised
The result of the meeting was a de-
cision 10 circulate petition to be pre-
scented to the government to use its
appropriation for the dredging of the
river.
