PASADENA, June 16.-Another inn

the Logan murder case.
Lying near the dead body of the muir
dered man was found a four-ounce
bottle containing few drops of medi-
cine.
The find was believed at first to in
dicate in some way that Logan had
been drugged before he was murdered.
At any rate the bottle and it's remain
ing contents were saved and a few
days ago placed In the hands of City
Chemist Day of Los Angeles.
1t is now announced that the analy-
sis of its contents shows that the prin-
cipal ingredient was cascara sagrada.
Investigation today shows that
Charles Stone, a prescription clerk In
II. B. Webb's drug store at 124 East
Colorado street, sold a bottle of the
same size to j. c. c. Jaxon, the coll
ored man under arrest as Logan's MUIR

the crime of murder was computed.
This evidence Is important as afford
ing positive proof Of the presence Of
Jaxon at the place where Logan was

A LABOR FAIR.

1t has been determined to hold
Union Labor Fair in Lincoln, and the
matter has been given into the hands
of parties who will leave nothing I'M
done to make it a splendid success.
But no one man, nor no score of men,
can, unaided and alone, make this
enterprise a success. 1t must have
the hearty support and cooperation
of every union man and woman in the
city.
The plan is to have the fair in the
auditorium, the date being the first
week in December. The merchants
of the city will be asked to take space
and show the visitors everything they
carry in stock that bears the union
label. 1t is, of course, unnecessary to
point out to any enterprising mer.
chant the splendid opportunity thus
afforded to advertise in a way that
will directly reach the largest buying
population of Lincoln and suburbs.
In addition there will be plenty of
| amusement features to attract the peo-
pie. There will be contests of various
kinds. Those who enjoy the dance will.
have plenty of opportunities. In
short, there will be something to at
tract all classes of honest people who
love innocent amusement

made to lend immense aid to the for

creasing the demand for the product
for the toll of well paid labor Similar
enterprises in other cities have
been successfully Financially, socially
and morally. Such an enterprise in
Lincoln, if well supported by the I'M
ionists and conducted properly, will
give the trades unions of the city a
better standing among people who
may now be either ignorant of trades
unionism or prejudiced against it.
Come, all union men and women,
and lend your personal aid to the
work of making the first annual union
labor fair of Lincoln magnificent sue

that a mob which had been organized

Thursday night, shot and killed Ned
Taylor, a nail carrier, and probably

Immediately after the shooting mob
formed which was kept intact In DIFF

when It was augmented. Preparations
were made to 20 to Mansion to get the
prisoner. when word came Of the plans
to resist the storming of the jail. 1t
was reported that arrangements had
been made to call ont the company Of

and this apparently took the backbone
