Open Fire on Mob.

During the afternoon, when it be-
came known that the negro had been
arrested. crowds began forming on
the streets and early in the night they
were reinforced by large numbers Of
men from the country. The mob form;
ed about o'clock and made an at.
tack on the county Jail, where the me-
gro was confined. The Jail gate was,
broken down by the mob, and the
sheriff and his deputies opened fire.
Three men dropped with the first vol
ley from the sheriff's force, who were
using repeating rifles and shotguns.
Vo!ley after volley was then fired by
the mob and the sheriff's force, but
the mob was repulsed.
Second Attack successful. q
About midnight another attack was
made. the mob having been increased
to 1000 determined men. The second
attack was successful for the reason
that it was made upon all sides of the
jail. One party forced its way through
the rear, ovefpowered the officers and,
secured the trembling negro.
A moose was slipped about his neck
and after being dragged for two
blocks he was strung up to an electric
light pole in the center OF the park,
where fully 1000 bullets completely
riddled his body. /;

And then. how he lost himself IN
his work. suppose there never has
entered this institution man To
whom 1t was dearcr We thinl; of
that word. 'lIe that saveth his life

There Ia another verso that comes
20 my mind: Not slothfnl In bust

who has gone from us. other men
here had their different departments

RE-SURvEY OF
BOUNDARY Line
RECORDS SHOW THAT LINE BE-
TWEEN IDAHO AND WASHING
TON IS IMPERFECTLY RUN
MANY MILES NOT MARKED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb 7.-If
the house of representatives ats ia
vcrably on Senator Hepburn bill,
rece Atly passed Y the senate. 4 nice
fat surveying contract will be
awarded early in the coming summer
to some man who wants to remark
the boundary line between Idaho and
Washington. The senator's bill ap-
propriates $4,000 to defray the ex-
pense of re-survey of this line, which
was originally laid off in 1874. 1t
has been known for some time that
the line has not been comp etely
marked and does not conform with
the boundary prescribed in the stat
utes
Surveyor General Eagleson wrote
Senator Hepburn two years ago
pointing out the necessity for re-sur-
veying the line. AT that time he
said that there was considerable
doubbt as to the exact location of
the initial point, at the junction of
the Snake and Clearwater rivers.
The old survey was run from that
point in a zigzag fashion in north
erly course, and the line as then laid
down is believed to have encroached
upon Idaho territory to considera-
BILE extent. AS a matter of fact there
are from five to ten miles of the
boundary that have never been sur
veyed. The old reports show that
the original surveying party was
driven from the field after marking
176 miles of line, because of bad
winter weather and lack of supplies.
Moreover, the old measurements
were made with link chains and
were erroneous. What is equally de-
plorable is the fact that fully 25 per
cent of the monuments marked In
the original survey were growing
trees. 'AiT
Whether the survey will be made
by one contractor or whether the
work is to be divided up into sec
tions and let to a number of survey
ors will have to be determined by
the commissioner of the general
land office. He is anxious that the
line should be relocated, and will
probably handle the matter in a way
to guarantee correct as we'll as a
speedy survey.
