Cairo, Ills, Nov. I2.-It is very
quiet this morning after one of the
worst nights of mobism ever passed
through by any city. Arthur Alex
ander, the negro implicated in an
assault and murder of Miss Anna
Pelly, by the confession of the lynch
ed negro, James. was safely lodged in
the county jail this morning.
Alexander was hid in the city by
the officers who put policeman
uniform on him. The mob learned
that he was in the jail. and could
have easily taken him out but it was
thought best to let the matter rest
for the present and the mob dis
persed.
Company X, of Cairo. had been
called out and is in actual charge of
the city. Mayor Parsons said today
that he did not think any of the Of
ficiaIs should be blamed for the
lynching last night.
When James, the negro lynched
was captured at Belknap and while
he was being brought into Cairo. he
refused to make a confession, but
when rope was placed around his
neck and he was given a last chance
to make a statement, he said, II kill
ed her, but Alexander took the lead"
Many in the great mass of people
had become impatient during the eff
forts to induce the negro to make
statement and they were insistent in
their demands for work"

The crowd pressed forward and n

MAHONY LEAVES TOMORROW FOR
'F5fiB EXHIBIT 1!R F5R fHE 4 SREl5'$5H GSEI7 $HaN

The display of fruit which will
represent the Grand valley at the
great Chicago Land Exposition, one
of the largest Industrial conventions
which has ever been held, has been
collected and is being packed today
by William Mahan, an expert fruit
packer who is conversant with the
methods of Idaho, California, Wash
ington and Colorado of packing fruit
and who last year packed the fruit
which took the first prize for Idaho
at the Council Bluffs, Iowa, state
fair
The fruit has been picked up from
time to time and has been for several
weeks stored in the medium tempera-
ture rooms at the ice plant. Owing
to the fact that the farmers have
been too busy to bring in their choice
fruit, especially for the big showing
what has been obtained was pur-
chased on the platform at the Grand
junction Fruit Growers association.
Thus. if it were possible to obtain an
exhibit which truly represented the
commercial grades of fruit as they
are sent out broadcast, the Grand
Junction exhibit will do this. A few
extraordinary specimens have been
donated for the use of the Chamber
of Commerce but the bulk of the dis
play is representative of the grade of
fruit by which Grand valley builds
up her reputation and claims her
precedence.

Commerce the time and money to go
