battering ram was used. The lynchers
found their victim crouched behind his
cot and. seiZing him by the feet, dragged
him into the street, where, within a few
yards of the Jail. Burns was kicked and
shot to death. Rev. wv c. Hicks did
his best to save the negro and after

Hartford Manufacturing Com
pany Accused of SWindling
POStOffiCe Department.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Postmaster Gen
eral Meyer has suspended the payment
of moneys due from his department TO
the Hartford Manufacturing company of
Hartford, Conn. and has submitted the
matter to the attorney general for such
further action as may be deemed proper.
The Hartford Manufacturing company,
up to July last, supplied the stamped
envelopes and newspaper wrappers sold
at pOstofficeS. Chemical analysis of sam
pies has disclosed the fact that the COM
position of the envelope paper has been
below the requirements of the contract
and according to the computations of
the experts of the pOstoffice department
the company has in the last four years
wrongfully benefited to the extent of
about S425.000
One of the manufacturers who supplied
paper to the company has admitted to
the postmaster generals agents that his
firm furnished different and cheaper ma
terial than specified in the con-
tract, and that it was so made at the
instance of the Hartford Manufacturing
company.
During the investigation a new con-
tract was entered into for the supplying
of stamped envelopes and newspaper
wrappers, with the Mercantile Corpora
ton of Dayton, o., beginning July /. AS
the Hartford company had carried on
successive contracts for nearly thirty
years, naturally there was no other plant
in existence to do this particular class
of work. but the guarantees furnished by
the new company. showing its financial
standing and ability to obtain a plant
paper. machinery and labor satisfied the
postmaster general, after several weeks
personal inquiry in Washington and
elsewhere.
The product must average nearly four
million envelopes every working day in
the year. OF these 80 per cent are plain
stamped envelopes, the remaining 20 per
cent bearing the return cards. names
and addresses of the senders. The two
concerns mentioned were the only COM
petitors for the new contract. the bid of
the Hartford company being Sob. 635.
figured on the basis of the estimated
quantities required during the four years
of the contract term. while the bid of
the Mercantile Corporation was sl62.25
less.
Under the specifications of the present
advertised Jan. 10, 1907, and
March 2. 1907. the formula as to the quail
ity of the paper was changed to slight
ly lower grade a small proportion of
sulphite being used with the rag. which
does not affect the weight or strength.
Under the specifications of the former
contract the Hartford Manufacturing
was called upon the supply all

turing company furnished envelopes up

pied for this purpose. The hunting force
of the party has been reinforced by the
addition of Ben Lilley. professional
sportsman, who migrated from this Sec
ton TO Texas many years ago, but who
even then made so excellent reputa-
ton as a Nimrod that it has survived
all this time. and was strong enough 10
cause him to be sent for and brought
all the way from Texas for the emer-
gency. He has in former days hunted
all the canebrakes hereabouts and is
said to know every nook and Granny in
them.
Great Things Expected.
The people hereahouts express conf
dence that some of \he bears will be
baSged. and there are more assurances
on the subject of venison. They say the
woods are full of Virginia deer, but the
disquieting rumor has gone abroad that
many of them are dying of the disease
known as 2black tongue
The party will be augmented tomorrow
by the addition of Mr. Metcalf. friend
of Messrs. McIlhenny and Parker, who
will escort the negro bear killer. Holt
Collier, who will bring with him twenty
one of his dogs. There will be, there
ore, three professional hunters in Ih-

EFFORT TO SETTLE THE
STRIKE AT TONOPAH

Tonopah. New, Oct. 6.-The Tonopah
& Goldfield Railroad company made a
proposal to former employees through
the board OF trade that they would take
all men back at their old standing, with
the exception of Conductor Cowan, who
was discharged for characterization.
Further, two other men must go. These
were not named. but their names were
placed in sealed envelope with the
agreement that if their designations
would be received they would be given
clearances which would entitle them to
go 20 work on any other railroad with
out prejudice. A committee from the
employees met and agreed to accept the
sacrifice of CowaH, but would not agree
to forcing out two other men,

Washington, Oct. 6-The forest service
has recently been appealed to to take
steps to break up the practice of rus

ranges within forest reserves, and 1t is

be able to put an end to stock stealing

will be done this season. except in the
Elkhorn national forest, in Montana,

The forest reserve. however. has in con-
temptation a plan whereby the authorized
users of the range within any forest re-
serve can secure the benefit of federal
protection of their stock The plan is
merely to authorize forest officers TO re-

serves unless the party removing it can

the holder of the government permit IL
is anticipated that this plan will meet
with general approval among western
stockmen, and IL so, such plan Is likely
to be enforced next season. While such
system will not be an absolute bar to
the operation of rustlers, it will never

atoms.
