tablishing new offices and opening new

its expenses are more enormous still,
and the utmost economy cannot balance
the accounts. Consequently there is an
annual deficit of millions to be provided
from the national treasury. Those who
think that the future will reveal any
steady decrease in Federal expenditures
should contemplate the growth of the ma

Negro Lynched For Attack
ing a School Girl
On Street.
BOLD ASSAULT MADE.
Ernest Baker Strung Up
Near Cc;:rt House at 3
O'clock a. m. Sunday.

Cadiz had lynching at an carly
hour Sun lay morning, following an
attack made on a school girl belong
ing to prominent family. the night
before.
The negro was named Ernest
Baker and his would-be victim was
Miss Mary Gentry, a sixteen-year-
old daughter of Robert Gentry.
The young lady boards at Thos.
H. Gaines on East Main street and
attends school. About 8 O'Clock
Saturday evening Miss Gentry in
company with Mr.. Gaines little
ten-year-old daughter started down
town to the Postoffice. Almost op-
posite the Gaines house is an alley
between the houses of Dan Grinter
and Ed Street and out of this alley
a negro darted and seizing Miss
Gentry dragged her into the alley
and threw her upon the ground.
The little girl ran screaming for
help and Miss Gentry herself joined
in the cries for assistance. AS the
the girl was thrown down she
quickly regained her feet when
the negro caught her by one ankle
and threw her again. At this point
people were heard coming to the
scene and leaving the girl the brute
disappeared in the darkness. Miss
Gentry in the struggle saw that the
negro had on black shirt. He also
made tracks in the soft ground that
showed the impression of new rub
ber heels, bearing the names of
Terry & White. Prompt action was
taken. Terry & White had that day
sold to Ernest Baker some rubber
heels for his shoes. Several other
negroes were arrested and held.
Finally Baker was found at negro
dance with white shirt on, but the
tell tale rubbers still on his heels. 1t
was proven that he had worn a black
shirt the day before and he was
taken to Jail and the other prisoners
released. He refused to talk.
At 3 a, m. a mob waited on Jailer
Harry Timmons and demanded the
keys. He hesitated, but yielded to
threats and gave them up. Baker
was gagged in his cell, taken out to
the town scales near the Jail and
quietly hanged to beam.
Baker was a porter in Sam Smiths
saloon. He was about 30 years old
and few years ago his brother met
death for similar offense. He
went to the house of Ed Sumner and
raising a window caught hold of the
foot of one of Mr.. Summers daugh-
ters, who was asleep in the bed near
the window. Her screams aroused
her father who appeared with his
gun and killed the negro as he ran
out of the gate.
