Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 21. Clint
Montgomery, colored, was burned to
death in house In which he sought
refuge from a mob which wanted to
lynch him for the murder of Alger-
non Lewis, white, in Wilcox county,
last Saturday. When surrounded in
the house, Montgomery put up des-
perate fight, four members of the
pursuing posse being seriously
wounded. Earnest Slade and man
named Lindsey are not expected to
recover from their injuries.
Finding that it would be impossible
to dislodge the negro, the mob ap-
piled the torch, and Montgomery was
cremated in plain sight of his pur-
suers.
The sheriff of Wilcox county was
away on business at the time the
posse started in pursuit of Montgom-
cry, and prominent citizens wired
Governor Conner, asking that state
troops be sent to the county at once.
The governor ordered Colonel Carter
of the Second regiment with so men
to hurry by special train to Wilcox
county to take charge of the situa-
ton, but before the soldiers were
ready to start word came that the
murderer had been surrounded and
burned to death, and that while the
white population was greatly In.
famed over the wounding of the four
members of the posse, there was lit
tie prospect of a serious outbreak,
and the order was countermanded.

Boy Passed as His Son is

Peasant.
BY unItod Press Wire

Berlin, Dec. 21.--The high court
ut Posen has declared Count Ignacius
Kwilecki was headless: that the
boy Count Joseph Kwilecki, who
passed his son and heir, is really the
son of a peasant and that he must be
restored to his mother.
The decision, which lends six
years litigation, uncovered a talc OF
deception that astonished the coun-
try.
1t developed In the suit, which was
brought by peasant girl, Cecilia
Meyer, against the executors of the
estate of Count Igancius Kwilecki,
for possession of her son, that sever
al years ago she surrendered her
newly born child to agents repre-
senting Countess Kwilecki, who
smuggled the child TO the home OF
the countess and announced that the
countess had given birth to a son,
though she was and continue child
less.
The child was accepted as the heir
TO the vast Kwilecki estate but Will
now be restored TO his mother and
the estates will rever to the rightful
heir, Count Hector Kwilecki.

of the county and was swept along
by high south wind The first town
threatened was Lamro.

to combat the flames, and for hours
worked desperately.

similar experience, and the flames were
diverted only after heroic effort.
Out on the open prairie, away from
all help, the homes of many claim

BAKERSFIELD, Oct. 29.-The Ore
gon Midway Oil company, which has
undertaken to supply the west side oil
fields with water, has adopted the air
compressor method of pumping and as
a result has increased the production
of its wells many fold, giving an as
surance of abundance of water for

now to be laid from the wells through
the heart of the field, and from 1t lat

water. though abundant, being unfit
for domestic use because of the gyp-

Indiana, who turned the same trick on

mon did in Ohio. He, too, is coming

: CHICAGO, Oct. ga movement for
the establishment of an entirely new
branch of educational work in the
Chicago public school system was
launched yesterday when Mrs. Ella
