The Chautauqua idea comes as
a substitute for the John l.. Sulli-
van, FitzsimmOns aud prize ring
idea, Il substitute for the foot ball

It's all right for mau to cultivate
his animal prOwess. but the mind
and heart must not he forgotten.
The Chautauqua is an educator, it
uplifts and helps bring out the
best that is within us. Up with

A carriage, occupied only. as it

to pieces by the cars at jefferson

of last week. We have predicted
before that there is going to be an
awful accident at that crossing
some time. and it is liable to hap
pen any day. Some people will
take most amy risk. AT times dur
ing the Fair they paid no atten-
ton to the flagnan, drove pell- nell

poor flagman was run over time
or two. The accident, we guess.

ATTORNEY is THE. DEFENDANT
Suit Is Brought to Establish Legality
of Mrs. Sarah Johnson's
Will

Attorney "Habeas Corpus" c. B. Ladd
of the law firm of Hester & Ladd is a
defendant in one of the most compli-
Gated suits ever tried in the superior
courts.
The suit came about through the petit
tions of C. M. Noll to establish the leg
ality of will said to have been left
by Mrs. Sarah Johnson who died on
May 49, 1906.
One month after the death of the
woman Attorney Ladd applied to the
court to be named as administrator for
the estate of the deceased on June 6,
1905. At that time he was acting for
Mrs. Della Sherburne daughter of
Mrs. Johnsop.
When on the witness stand yester-
day morning Mrs. Sherburne stated
that no sooner had Ladd been ap-
pointed administrator than he COM
menced to overcharge her for fees.
Ladd when named as administrator is
said to have stated in the petitions that
no will had been left by Mrs Johnson
Ladd stated yesterday that will had
been left, but that at the time of his
appointment he did not know 1t was the
will of Mrs. Johnson. Mrs Sherburne
said no will was left by her mother.

CROWD ATTEMPTS
TO LYNCH NEGRO
SIGHT OF BLOOD MADDENS
MEN AND WOMEN
Ropes are Secured With Which to
Hang Colored Man Who Bit of
Portion of White Adver-
sary's Ear

"Shoot him Kill hint Lynch himl''
were the cries that startled the resi-
dents in the neighborhood of Eighth
street and Towne avenue about &
O'Clock last night
The interference of Deputy Constable
Denny Johnson probably saved H.
Whitfield, negro, from being lynched.
1t was only by brute force that the Off
Ger succeeded in getting the man away
from an excited crowd.
Claude Packard, a stableman en-
ployed by the Maple Grove Creamery
company, Eighth street and Towne
avenue, entered the companys barns
and found the negro asleep In one of
the stalls. He reused the man and
told him to move on.
The negro resented being awakened
and began to fight with Packard. After
a hard struggle the negro was finally
put out of the barn.
Whitfield started toward San Julian
street, on Eighth street. He met some
employees of the same company, whom
he suspected had something to do with
his being thrown out of the barn, and
he began another quarrel.
A large crowd soon gathered. Whit
field finally grabbed Fitz Gustavson,
925 Crocker street. and threw him to
the ground. During the struggle
Whitfield bit off the upper portion of
Gustavson's left ear.
The mob saw the blood squirting from
the mans ear and thought that the
negro had stabbed him.
Men and women became frenzied and
began shouting to each other to lynch
the negro. Ropes were secured, but
at this point the deputy constable in
terfered
The men were holding Whitfield on
the ground and refused to release him
until Johnson knocked down two or
three men.
The officer took the negro to a near
by barber shop and telephoned for the
ambulance. Meanwhile the crowd gath
cred outside and began yelling anew to
lynch the prisoner.
AT the central station Whitfield said
that he lived at 920 West Twenty third
street. He is detained on a charge of
drunkenness. Gustavson was treated
at the receiving hospital by Police Sur
geon John Cook. The loss of a portion
of an ear was his only injury.

Mr.. QUILLIAN GRANTED YEARS
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
Assistant Secretary of the Young
Mems Christian Association Ar
ranges to Complete His Education
at Celebrated Eastern University

Charles e. Quillian, assistant secre-
tary of the Young Mems Christian as

Mr.. Quillian, having acted in the

Luther was delayed in coming and MIR.
Quillian acted as secretary for the as
sociation here until the formers ar
rival. Mr.. Quillian previously had been
college secretary under Mr.. Luther in
the Atlanta Y. NJ. c. A. work.
Mr. Quillian had originally planned
to become a lawyer and it was his in
tention to take up the study of law
after engaging some time in the Y. NJ.
c. A. work, but he finally decided to
abandon the study of law and devote
his time to the association.
Mr.. Quillian expects to leave Los An
geles in August. Mr.. Willis is ex-
pected to be here about that time. He
will be accompanied by his wife.
