the Streets to Scene Of Murder and
Burning 1t.
Cairo. ILL.,. Nov. 12.-Will James, the
negro suspected of being the murderer
of Miss Annie Pelley, was killed here
by a mob. James was strung up To the
public arch. the rope broke and at
least 500 shots were poured into his
body. He made a partial confession
and implicated another negro. Arthur
Alexander. for whom the mob is now
searching.
The negro was lynched In the most
prominent square Of the city. Women
present were the first TO pull the rope.
When 1t broke the frenzy OF the mob
was uncomfortable. and they fired vol
ley after volley into James body,
shooting him TO pieces.
The mob then dragged the dead ne
gro to the scene OF the crime. a mile
distant from the arch at Twenty-siXth
and Elk streets. made a huge bonfire
and. throwing the bullet-riddled body
on top. abe torch was applied, and the
crowd stood by and with cries and
pistol shots added their chorus TO the
cracking Of the flames.
At least 10000 people witnessed the
lynching.
Before James was taken by the mob
Sheriff Frank Davis. Of Alexander
county. with two deputies. had spent
nearly twenty-four hours in the woods
of Union and Pulaski counties. north
OF here. lodging bands OF men bent
on lynching the negro.
At dark he had evaded the scouts
sent out from this and other towns.
Later a report reached here that
the sheriff and his party had COME
out OF the woods near Karnak. n
small town twenty-five miles north OF
Cairo.
Acting on this information, which
came from railroad employees and
seemed more authentic than a dozen
similar rumors. 300 men seized a
freight train Of the Big Four railroad
here. attached a switch engine to it
and started for Karnak. Five hours
later no word had come from this ex'
petition.

POTATO DEPOTS IN OMAHA
Warehouses Are Proposed by Growers
in Western Nebraska.
THEY WANT TO STORE HERE
Crop is Increasing Each Year Am
the state and Farmers want
to send the Prices Up
as Well.

Potato warehouses will be erected in
Omaha IL the demand Of western farmers
continue. They are in communication with
the Commercial club and say the growers
In western Nebraska are not securing what
they should for potatoes because they can
not store them In houses where they will
be safe from freezing or spelling.
Charles e. Bangs of Gordon writes to
the Commercial club that he has a an
investigation of the subject and finds there
is a demand among the growers for a
special warehouse In Omaha which may be
used for potato storage.
The size of the warehouse said TO be
needed will hold 1000 carloads of spuds.
Most of the potatoes grown in western
Nebraska are sold either on or through
the Omaha market. The growers want
some arrangement as has been made on
storing wool in Omaha. They want to
ship them here. store them, then send
them on II the demand Is not good in the
Omaha market.
Local demand in the western part of
Nebraska is nominal. Each, year as more
land is brought under the irrigation bitches
the crop increases. There will be more
potatoes In western Nebraska In a few
years than several states can Consume,
say the growers. This means lower prices.
They are looking to Omaha for relief. as
the prices will surely be lower II produc-
ton increases at the present rate.
Some of the counties which were for.
merly considered arid are producing the
most potatoes. Here are some Of the yields
