noticed young man insisting up
on old soldiers drinking whisky at
his expense. In one crowd of FIVE,
he got four to drink. No dou BIT
the young man thought he was
showing generous hospitality to
the old soldiers, but as matter
of fact they would have been bet

result of drinking. The young

-S enacted the present free school law. and
the county boards were given fnll power 10 levy

people wanted them to run. The people there
wanted nine months school was made the
first County Superintendent and Treasurer. and &c
determined at once to have n nine months school.

IN TRUE WESTERN STYLE
Oklahoma Mob Strings Up Desperate
Cattle Kings"

Ada. Oklahoma, April 19.-Four
prominent cattlemen were taken from
| the city Jail here to-day and lynched
by q mob OF one hundred citizens.
/, The mob, 1T is said, was organized In
the Commercial Club rooms and
marched to the Jail at 8 O'Clock to-
/ day. Only one man stood guard at
the prison, and he was quickly over
powered and the four prisoners se:s2
ed, taken to nearby barn and hung
from the rafters. The bodies were
cut down about 8 o'clock to-day
There was little excitement during
the lynching.
Those lynched were: j. b. Miller,
| Of Fort Worth, Texas; b. b. Burrell
CT Duncan, Okla; Jesse West and
Joe Allen, of Canadian, Texas.
West and Allen were well-to- DO
Texans and large cattle owners. The
| men were held on charge of COM
plfcity in the murder of former Uni
ted States Marshal A. A. Bobbitt,
near Ada, last February. Bobbitt
was shot from ambush on his way
home. An examining trial of the
four prisoners was held last Thurs
day, but no Indictments were re-
| turned.
Miller, one Of the victims, leaves a
widow in Fort Worth. He had kill
ed six men in his time, and was a
'chum" Of the late Pat Garrett, the
famous man-hunter, and was with
Garrett when he was killed at Las
Cruces.
The mob was composed Of many
OF the prominent citizens of the city,
ana only few wore masks. The au-
thoritfes were powerless to prevent
the lynching, as the early hour placed
them at disadvantage.
So intense was the feeling during
the preliminary hearing of the men
that Judge Brown prohibited the
publication of evidence. Burrell was
nephew of Miller, and turned
States evidence against Miller and
told of complete plans of West and
Allen to murder Bobbitt, a longtime
enemy of both. No arrests of the
lynchers has been made.
Reports vary as to the number Of
men Miller had killed, estimates
placing 1t anywhere from ten to
thirty. Most of his victims were Ell
ther cattle thieves or men whom he
shot IN self-defense. He was one of
the last Of the old-time Texas cattle
"kings," among whom it was a Gus
tom to use the six-shooter In defense
of any of their rights.
Burrell had many relatives in
Texas. He leaves a brother and mo-
ther at Weatherford, and another
brother at Ballinger. He was a large
cattle owner.
Joe Allen and Jesse West, of Ca
madam, Texas, were wealthy, and
owned large tracts of land and herds
OF cattle. There was an old feud
existing between these men and for
mer United States Marshal Bobbitt,
and, years ago, it is said, Bobbitt
forced Allen and West to flee to
Texas because Of alleged highway
robbery and cattle thefts.

VIII Make Another Statement.
Newberry, April 21.-Capt. j. G.
Minus, who has recently been COM
mandant at Clemson College, stop
ned over in Newberry to-day to spend
Il few hours with his former college
mate, Capt. w. S. Langford.
Capt. Minus seems very much in
earnest and conscious of the right
eousness of his contention in the
matter Of discipline at Clemson Col
lege. He says that he is willing and
anxious to have a most thorough in
vestigation made of his record as
commandant at the college, and
feels satisfied that If the people of
the State could see the situation as
it Is that they would be easily con-
vinced that what he is endeavoring
to do is for the best interests of the
institution and the young men of
the State.
Capt Minus says that he will pre-
pare in day or two a full state
ment, which he will give to the daily
papers covering the Jtatements made
by DR.. Nell and Prof Riggs in the
daily papers to-day and also giving
some additional information as to
the situation at Clemson.
Capt. Minus left this afternoon for
Clemson College, where he will be
for few days packing up his house.

South Carolina for the present, and
will probably make his home in CO.
lumbia, though, he said, he was very
much pleased with Newberry.

AWFUL REVENGE WROUGHT
by Twelve-Year-Old Boy on His Step
Brothers and Sisters.


A New Orleans dispatch says In
censed because his step-mother had
left him at home, near Opelousas,
La, in charge Of his young step-bro-
theirs and sisters for the day, Tom
Godfrey, 12-year-old negro boy,
fed the youngest of his charge to the
hogs and later, with an axe, infiict-
ed what will probably prove fatal
wounds on the heads Of the other
children.
Three children were injured. The
step-mother reported the triple
crime to the parish authorities and
Tom was placed in jail at Opelousas.
She says she found the baby in
the pen with the hogs when she re-
turned home late yesterday. It's
hands and feet had been eaten off,
but it was still alive.
She straightway whipped Tom,
and when she went for a doctor to
attend the baby, Tom seized an axe
and attacked his six-year-old step
brother, inflicting several deep
wounds. His young step-sister in
terfered, and he crushed her skull
with the axe. The girl is dying and
the other two children have little
chance OF recovery.
