Sheriff of Logan County Is
Highly Incensed at
Troops.
A WELL-BEHAVED MOB
Was Anxious to Lynch a Ne
gro Murderer Monday
Night.

Russellville, KY, July 15.-The
county officials outwitted a mob
which came here Mond ay night to
lynch Rufus Browder, colored, who
killed James 7. Cunningham, far
mer, near Keysburg, Monday. The
mob of masked men found that
Browder had been secretly taken
from Jail, and Tuesday morning it
was announced that he had been TAX
en- to Bowling Green for safe keep
ing.
Fearing a conflict between the civ
il and military authorities, Maj. Bas-
sett having appeared on the scene
about 4 o'clock Tuesday morning,
without the knowledge, consent or
desire of the local authorities, Sher-
iff Rhea informed Maj. Bassett that
if he or his soldiers interfered or at
tempted to do anything without the
civil officers requested it to be done
he would put him and his men in jail
if he could get men enough to help
him do it, and he thought he could.
1t was learned yesterday afternoon
that bands of soldiers were patrol
ling the southern part of this county
without the knowledge of the local
authorities and without there being
any need for them by the authorities
or anyone else.
The mob was orderly and we'll be-
haved, and there seemed to be nc
drinking among the crowd. The
killing was an unprovoked murder
and the people generally are greatly
incensed over the matter, but NJ
further trouble is feared. Judge
Sandidge has called a special tern
of the Circuit Court for August 8.

Democrats Will Live Up to
the Denver Declar-
alton.
VISIT TO BRYAN'S HOME
Chairman To Be Elected in
Chicago on July
18th.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July 10.
of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee and a number Of
others holding proxies conferred
with W. J. Bryan and j. w. Kern,
the Presidential and Vice President
ial nominees, respectively, at the
Bryan home yesterday with refer
ence to vital matters of campaign
management.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Bryan
the following resolution was adopt
ed:
Resolved, That the Democratic
National Committee, in pursuance
of the pledges given in the national
platform recently adopted at Den
yer, announces that it will accept no
contributions whatever from cor
porations; that it will accept no in
dividual contributions above $4,000
and that it will make public before
the election all individual collections
above 500, contributions received
before October Is being published
on or before that date, and contri-
buttons received after that date be,
ing published upon the date OF
which they are received and that no
contributions above 500 shall be &C
cepted within three days of the cleo
tion.p
The subcommittee adjourned to
meet in Chicago July 25, when the
chairman Of the National Commit
tee will be selected. Josephus Dan
iels was made secretary of the sub.
committee.
The statement that Mr.. Bryan
will not make canvass is incorrect
1t is his present purpose, however
to deliver no platform speeches, but
to make ten or a dozen political adj
dresses, dealing with the more vita
issues as presented in the platform.
Mr.. Kern will make a more contin
uous campaign, and it was assured
in Denver that Mr.. Towne will be ne
less active than if he had been the
vice presidential nominee.

w, Surprised al Turn of Affairs.

President James Currie of the dis
trict council of Electrical Workers, In
Guiding Utah. Wyoming and Idaho,
expresses his surprise at the settlement
of the difficulties in Montana between
the Bell Telephone company and its
linemen and operators, without his
having been appraised of the fact He
claims that the Montana Federation
ot Labor has no right to settle amy
strike which the electrical workers Of
the district are engaged IN until It IS
asked TO do so, and moreover the
Montana people have no call TO take
action ON anything affecting the rela
lions OF the telephone company with
it's employees in other states. Mr.. Cur
rio says he has had assurances from
the Montana Federation Of Labor that
II would stand by the strikers until
the last, and electrical workers unions
in that state are liable to lose their
charters, in consequence OF their ac-
ton in calling off the strike The OF
fcials OF the Bell company disclalm all
knowledge of MIR. Currie and any spec
cial interest IN what he may say or do

THE WEATHER RECORD
OF An Inch of Rain Fell
Yesterday.

Wea Their bureau measurements OF
yesterdays glorious rainfall place the
total precipitation UP to o'clock this
morning at "A inch. This is surpris-
ing, as many had an idea the fall was
much heavier than this. During yes
terday afternoon the rain seemed to
be coming straight down and it came
so heavily that Salt Lake began to
think a cloudburst was on. This inn
preston was made more reasonable by
thunder and lightning, which rumbled
ana flashed Immediately before the
downpour. While the rain was coming
down hardest, the pavements in the
downtown districts We're virtually COW
cred with water. AS the storm was
general over the state it meant much
to Utahns. individually and collective-
ly. Because of the moisture in the
air, last night seemed much colder than
It really was. The lowest temperature
recorded for the "a hours between 6 a.
m. yesterday and this morning came
along at 8 o'clock this morning. 1t
was 40 degrees above zero.
Frost may fall over the state again
tonight. Conditions point to 1t and
the weather man warns the state to ex-
pect it. The prediction issued today
reads, Fair tonight with frost; Thurs
day, partly cloudy and warmer" This
applies to Utah, Salt Lake and west
Wyoming, The plateau storm has
moved east over Nebraska and Kansas.
Heavy storms are reported from these
two states. Omaha had a rainfall of
1.2O inches during the past "a hours.
1t Is also stormy over British Columbia.
The Pacific high Is what indicates
fair weather for tonight and the prob
able coming OF frost. Farming dis
tricts ana becoming somewhat discour-
aged by the general unsettled condition
of weather and should heavy frosts
come along the result will be felt by
every resident of the state who has to
buy vegetables and fruits. So far, frost
has nipped considerable vegetation and
plant life, but good crop is still as
sured
Regular winter weather prevailed
during the week ending May II. This
is proved by the weekly weather bulle-
tin issued by the local bureau. Sum-
marizing this says The mean tenn
perature for the week was much below
tho normal over the entire state. Tho
week opened with cloudy and cool
weather, which was followed by fair
and warmer weather during the middle

localities, which caused much damage

in some parts OF the southern and east

High winds were general during the
middle OF the week.
The amount of sunshine was greatly
