an assault was commenced upon the
Jail yard gate. The sheriff continued
to plead and threaten, but there was
no response.
Then he told the mob that the first
man to enter the jail yard would be
killed.
Firing Commences.
The mob carried the gate down
with a rush, and when they did there
was a volIey from the second story
windows of the Jail building, where
several deputies were stationed. Bud"
Nichols fell dead, a bullet entering
the brain, while others were wounded.
The mob responded with a voIIey,
in which probably a dozen par
ticipated, and this was answered by
the deputies. For the space of two
minutes the fight was a spirited one
but the mob finally withdrew and
ceased firing, while several wounded
men were taken into the police sta
ton and later to their homes and
the hospital. Among the men wound
ed in this engagement were John Van
Pelt a brother OF the sneriff, and
Tailor Eaton, of the sheriff's office.
Outsiders to be wounded were Char
lie Turner, A N Knowles, James
Bayliss, and Fred. Humphreys.
OverpOwered the Officers.
Although firing ceased the mob re-
manned around the jail building for
several hours, being constantly added
to, a large number of countrymen
reaching the city late il the night and
joining those already on hand, de-
termiHed to lynch the negro.
Threats innumerable were made by
the mob, but the sheriff with his
forces stationed in 'front.' of the build
ing held the crowd at bay.
1t was about 11:30 O'Clock when
probably a dozen members of the
mob scaled the rear wall of the jail
and entered the back yard. Proceed
ing quietly they unfastened the rear
door of the hallway, and while the Of
ficerS were busily engaged with the
mob in front. the dozen men leaped
upon them bore a number of them to
the floor, while others with drawn re-
volvers kept other deputies at bay.
The Negro Secured.
Quickly the keys o. the jail were
taken from Deputy Cusachs, and with
in one minute after entering, the mob
was passing through the front gate
with Leander Shaw. Ropes had been
secured, and while on the run a moose
was placed about his neck. Then he

Candidate.

Topeka, Kas., Feb. 23.-W. J. Bryan
addressed an audience of men only here
this afternoon which completely filled
the city auditorium, even to standing
room. Mr.. Bryan spoke for two hours
and held his audience almost to a
man. There were probably $500 pres
ent. The speech was one of his regu-
lar lectures, THE Prince of Peace"
Bryan left for Lawrence, where he
spoke tonight under the auspices of
the Y. NJ. c. A. in the Kansas univer-
sity gymnasium. He was a guest of
W. r. Stubs, candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for governor, who
is also the president of the Lawrence
Y. NJ. c.. A. In his speech here Bryan
touched on the money question, and
said: "A short time ago the Christian
churches were in a big controversy
whether or not they should accept
money from some of the great finan-
ciers. Many men spend a part of their
lives getting money, second part try
ing to keep other men from trying to
get it away from them and, recently,
a third part in trying to give 1t away.
1 think the time is coming and coming
soon when many of these great finan-
ciers who have got their money by
dishonest means will be made the most
lonesome men on earth by being left
alone, without friends and with moth
ing but this money"

WINE IMPORTER MURDERED
Gerolamo Celia, Wealthy Italian of
New York, Given Poison and
His Skull Fractured.

New York, Feb. 23.-Gerolama Celia,
a wealthy Italian wine importer, a
leading member of the Italian cham
Der of commerce and a thirty-second
degree Mason, died within few mo-
ments after he was found early to-
day in the office of his warehouse in
West Broadway. with his skull frac-
tured and suffering from the effects of
poison. The police are working. on the
theory that murder has been COM
mitted.
Coroner Hamburger declared tonight
that Celia was struck down by a ham,
mers blow on the head and that his as
sailants later poured liquid poison
down his throat, presumably to give an
appearance of suicide. A letter signed
with Cella's name, bidding goodbye to
his family, was found, and the coroner
states that he believes the assailants
forced Celia to write the letter under
threat of death.
Celia was discovered by Dominica
Celia, his brother, who has been de-
tanned as a suspicious person. Caesar
Biacchi, a son-in-law of Celia. is also
held as a material witness.
Geralmo Celia has conducted a wine
importing business In this city for
many years. and is said to have
amassed a fortune of $500. 900.

on the side of the approach was broken
down, but the opposite gate was in
tact, and if previously lowered must
have been hurdled by the frightened
horses after the wagon had been struck
and torn from its pole. The animals

task of overcoming the water barriers
that have separated Manhattan island
from the country of which it is the me-
tropolis has at last been accomplished
The first tunnel for passenger traffic
under the North, or Hudson, river will
be thrown open to the public at noon
on Tuesday. The event. which spells
the eventual doom of the Hudson fes-
ries and marks the completion of an
other stage of the vast projected sys-

and nation and unofficially by tens of
thousands OF commuters.
Roosevelt Will Press Button.
President Roosevelt at his desk in
the executive offices at Washington
will press a button to signal the open
ing of the tube, and the governors of
New York and New Jersey will parti-
cipate in the ceremonies at the tunnel
mouths.
The first of the tunnels to be opened
is a part of the so-called MeAdoo sys-

G. McAdoo. president If the Hudson

young Tennesseean, whose pluck and
energy secured the backing and made
the tunnels an accomplished fact. The
bore of this first completed means of
under-river transportation to the west
leads from Morton street, on the lower
side of New York, TO Hoboken, n. ].
The tunnel consists of two tubes. in
which shuttles trains of eight cars
each, propelled by electricity, will be
operated. Two more tubes of the Nc
Adoo system are nearing completion.
Their Manhattan terminus will be at

have connections with several of the
most important railroads leading into

The North river tunnel service is to
be further augmented later on the
opening of the Pennsylvania railroad
tubes to connect their lines with the
magnificent new stations now under
construction at Thirty-seccnd street
