COVERED BEHIND CELL COT
WHEN AVENeINe MOB sToRMED
THE PRISON,
But Burns Was Dragged To the Cob
bIed Street and Kicked To Death
BY the Mad Lynchers.

Cumberland, Md, Oct, This city
has been in a state of feverish ex.
citement all day over the first lynching
in its history. William Burns, colOred,
aged %, who came here six months
ago from Fauquier county, Va, charged
with the murder of policeman August
Baker, one of the veterans of the force,
was taken by a mob which stormed the
Jail and kicked, to death on the cObble
street near the Jail entrance in the
rear of the courthouse, where his case
would have been taken up Monday by
the October grand jury.
After the mob had stamped the face
and body of the wretch they fired at
close range at least 20 shots into his
head and body. Five or six hundred
people looked on.
Burns had shot Patrolman Baker
while resisting arrest last Thursday
night.
The mob assembled in front of the
Jail shortly after midnight, but it was
after an hours parley and storming be-
fore the prisoner was reached in his
cell in the basement. Deputy Sheriff
Hendley was in charge of the Jail. He
refused to give up the keys and the
mob secured a telegraph pole and
broke open the front doors.
Two grated doors leading to the
main corridor were stormed and the
first was broken open, and, while the
second was being forced, Deputy Sher-
if Hendley was held up at the point
of two revolvers, his clothing torn off
and the keys taken from him. They
did not fit the door of the cell occupied
by Burns, and the telephone pole was
brought in and the door of the cell
Jared open.
All the while the negro never uttered
q word.
Other negroes in neighboring cells
were careful to guide the lynchers to
that of Burns, and here the battering
ram was used. The lynchers found
their victim crouched behind his cot,
and, seizing him by the feet, where,
within few yards of the Jail, Burns
was kicked and shot to death.
Rev. VIM. Cleveland Hicks, rector
of Emanuel church, the leading Episco-
pal congregation of Western Maryland,
lives within stones throw of the
scene Of the lynching, the shadow of
his church. He asked the mob to dis
rerse as they were attempting to break
into the jail. They listened to his ex-
hortation from the Jail steps for mo-
ment and then hooted. After the
wretch had been dragged from the Jail
and as he lay dying on the cobble
stones, Rev. Mr.. Hicks offered prayer
of mercy over his PROSTATE form.
Some of the crowd yelled burn him."
but Rev. Hicks asked them not to do
so and they respected his wish.
Twenty men near the cupola had
every shred of clothing blown off by
the force of the explosion.

MANIAC FLEEs FROM MAoHoUsE
And Shoots Guard Who Had Routes
Him From Hiding Place.

Waynesville, O.-Sheridan Evans,
guard at the Dayton state asylum, was
shot and probably fatally wounded bI
William Satterthwaite, an escaped in
mate, whom Evans was trying to ar
rest at his home here
Satterthwaite escaped from the asy
lum and caused a reign of terror by
riding up and down the streets threat
ening to kill any one who attempted
to take him.
Sheriff Patterson and deputies
forced an entrance to the rear of Sat
terthwaite's home and drove him out
As he made his exit Evans caught hold
of him. Satterthwaite broke away and
shot him full in the breast, the bullet
passing through the right lung. Sat
terthw&ite escaped and is still at large
Satterthwaite had been an inmate
Of the asylum several times. He re-
ceived considerable nOtoriety last
spring when he made sensational
charges against the management OF
that institution to Gov Harris. The
last time he was arrested here he cre-
ated a panic in the jail by breaking up
everything movable in his cell. 1t was
necessary to turn a stream of water
from fire hose on him to subdue him.

NIPs THAT ROOSEVELT TAKES
Prompt Women's Temperance Union
to Severely Rebuke Him.

Columbus, O.-President Roosevelt
was taken to task at the convention
of the Franklin County Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union by the adOp-
tion Of a resolution criticising him for
the social use Of liquors. The union
does not say whether the president had
taken cocktails or the straight stuff,
but regrets that he uses intoxicating
liquor in any form. The resolution fol-
lows:
Resolved, That we admire the chief
executive Of our nation, President
Roosevelt, and approve of his vigorous,
fearless and reasonable administration,
but we deeply regret that at cur pres
cnt stage of progress, when temper
ance is recognized as a most important
factor in politics and government, the
head of our national government is ac-
Cused of indulging in the social use Of
liquor, thus upholding the manufacture
and sale of intoxicants and setting the
example of moderate drinking, which
is a most prevalent and baneful mode
of drunkard making

New Law Profitable,

Columbus, O.-According to the
quarterly report of the fee fund, the
salary law, doing away with the fee
system of compensating county off
cials, is a great success in this coun-
ty, and places the Offices on paying
basis. The amount placed to the cred
it of the fund was $36, ,4S1.59, while but
$22,467.50 will be used for expenses,
such as clerk hire and salaries of the
officials. This leaves net earnings Of
$14,01409 that will go to the county
treasury. But for the new law this
sum would find it's way into the pock-
cts of the county office holders.

OIL JUGGLED BY TRUST
PRICES CHARGED BY eALENA
COMPANY NOT UNIFORM.
Refund Over Maximum - PennsyI-
Vania Road Bought Lubrleating
Oil at Less Than Cost.

New York.-That the Galena Signal
Oil company, a subsidiary Of the
Standard Oil company, controls 81 per
cent. of the lubricating oil business
with the railroads of the United States
and that the prices for its products
are not uniform with all railroads was
written in the record of Thursdays
hearing of the federal suit against the
so-called oil trust.
c. c. Steinbrenner, an accountant
for the Galena company, told in detail
how contracts were made with rail-
roads whereby they were guaranteed a
maximum cost for the fabrication of
the road, based on mileage for en-
gines and cars, and when the maxi
mum cost was found at the end of GER
tain periods to fall short of the stand
ard invoice which all railroads paid
when they received the oil, the Galena
company made a refund of the differ
ence.
From statements compiled from the
Galena company books, Mr.. Kellogg
was able to show that in some cases
the amount of the refund was nearly
so per cent. of the invoice price. Mr..
Steinbrenner testified that the libri-
eating oil furnished to the Pennsylva-
mia railway was sold at loss.
One of the railroads that the Galena
company did not supply with oil, Mr..
Steinbrenner said, was the Tidewater
railway, owned by Henry H. Rogers.
vice president of the Standard Oil
company. The witness said the Ga.
lena company had tried to obtain the
contract with the Tidewater railway
but failed. Mr.. Kellogg suggested that
perhaps Mr.. Rogers thought he could
get better oil elsewhere.
