CITIZENS READY TO LYNCH.
Nine Year Old Girl, Victim of Human
Beast, Is at Point of Death.

DELAVAN, Wis, July 5.-In
frenzy of anger, summer resorters
from Chicago, New York and other
cities, joined with the farmers and
citizens of Delavan in a mad hunt for
the assailant of the 9-year-old daugh-
ter of Charles Maine, who lives on the
farm of Reuben Bristol, a mile from
here.
The mother and hired man came to
town at night for medicine for the girl,
who was supposed to be near death of
some ailment. When the mother and
servant returned they found the girl in
bed, where they had left her, but the
bed and room were spattered with
blood and the child horribly locerated.
The father and brother, standing by
the bed, apparently paralyzed with
screams of the girl. Coming down
from their beds they saw a man with
pied and blotched face dash out and
disappear
An operation upon the girl prac-
tically failed, and physicians say she
cannot recover. This has Increased
the frenzy of the people.
Several arrests have been made by
the police secretly to avoid lynching,
but all suspects proved an alibi.

General Manager Morrow this morn

have not asked anyone for money so
far and you can state positively that
we will not turn over the road to any
of the railroad corporations.
"This road is to be built by the peo-
pie, for the people, and when it is
completed and in operation we will be
in a position to give the farmers bet

The Craftsmanship in Court

That the courts have decided and
should decide in favor of w. G. Hen
bricks is not surprising to anyone
who has dispassionately considered
the case
If after the election two years ago
the defeated Democrats had Called
another election in Marshall county
and had said: Jones Grant, Monroe
Steiner, Alva Porter and the other
Republican candidates were elected
bus we believe we have men thai
they cannot beat, therefore all Demo
Gratis are hereby called to meet at
their respective voting places and
elect other men to fill the places OF
these Republicans who were elected
at the regular election" many people
who now seem to think that such a
proceeding is lawful, would have said
these Democrats are crazy.
And if the Democrats had proceed
ed to elect other men and had at
tempted to take possession of the
Offices to which, Grant, Steiner and
Porter had cen elected, without pre-
ferring any charges agaipst these Re-
publican officers elect, everybody
knows that the courts would not
have sustained them
Therefore the very moment that a
judge decided that the coirts had
jurisdiction and that county chair
man is an officer under the law, the
Craftsmanship case was decided in
favor of w. G. Hendricks.
No man can be elected to ill his
position unless charges against him
are preferred and proven and he IS

A New Election Law.

The new election law approved
March 4, 1905, makes it the duty o
| the county election commissioners to
organize at 6 o'clock p. m. on the
day of election as a board of can
vassers in the county clerks office
to count the votes cast at such gen
err election.
The county clerk must keep his
office open all night and the inspect
ors of elections in every precinct
must. as soon as the votes are count
ed for state and county officers tax
the returns to the county clerks OF
fee Immediately.
The -elestion commissioners, one
of whom is the county clerk are All.
thorized to employ such clerical as
sistance as may be necessary to can
vass the vote without delay; but
one half of the clerks shall be Dem
ocrats and the other half Republ-
cans.
The duties of this board are the
same as when the board consisted of
the county clerk and inspectors un-
der the old law. In this way it is
expected that all returnsswill be re-
ceived and the entire vote of the
county will be canvassed and certifi-
ed during the night following the
election.
1t is important that, all election in
spectors and other election officers
as we'll as the election commissioners
get a copy of the law and read il
carefully, as the law is new one
and imposes duties that have to be
performed Immediately after the
votes are counted in each precinct.
