I arrived here yesterday from Palestine.
1t is announced officially that the
deaths at Adana during the rioting
many Turks. The telegraph lines to
the provinces, however, are badly in
terrupted and details of the massa-
cres at Adana, Tarsus and other places
are lacking.
Even though the rumors of the sui
tan's abdication are unconfirmed, they
seemed to produce feeling of distinct
relief in Constantinople and the ad-
vance of the Saloniki army makes the
settlement of the question of adminis-
tration a matter of hours. 1t is be-
lieVed the enVeloping movement will
bo completed by tomorrow night or
early Wednesday. The soldiers of the
garrison appear to be thoroughly cow
ed by the advance of the Third army
corps and the only cause for appre-
hension is the attitude of the fleet
which is doubted.
lzzct Pasha and other government
delegates who We're sent to confer with
the Salonikians returned today All
that is known of the result of the ne
gotiations is that the Salonikians re-
iterated their demands and threatened
to send five battaliOns into the city
Business of all kinds is practically
suspended and the civil and military
officials appear paralyzed, waiting for
the outcome of the events. There is
much satisfaction at the signing of the
protocol, which relieves apprehensions
of intervention by Bulgaria.
Throughout the night there was great
suspense at the Yildiz kiosk. Every
body remained awake and many at
tendants fled, fearing an attack upon
the palace, which is situated on the
heights outside the city and is ex-
posed to a coup de main.
The consensus of opinion is that if
the abdicatiOn of the sultan is brought
about his overthrow and the procla-
nation of his successor will be accom-
plished peacefully. Many Turkish fam
lilies in the Stamboul quarter are re-
moving to abodes of greater safety,
but in general the people, though
fearful of coming events are await
ing them philosophically and with
resignation.

PRISONERS LYNCHED
BY MOB
TWO HUNDRED MEN BREAK INTO
JAIL AT ADA, OK OMA,
AND HANG FOUR MEN.

Ada, Okla, April 19.-At 8 O'Clock
this morning mob of 200 men
stormed the county Jail and after
overpowering the sheriff lynched four
white men. The lynched men are:
j. b. MILLER, of Fort worth Tex,
charged with the murder of S. A.
Bobbitt, a wealthy Cattleman of this
section.
d. B. BURRELL.
JESSE WEST.
JOSEPH ALLEN, alleged accom-
plice.
The mob worked rapidly and quiet
ly, nothing being known of the lynch
ing until daylight. The victims of the
mob was taken to a barn within a
short distance of the Jail.
Bring a rope" the leader shouted
and one by one the men We're hanged.
The mob effected an entrance to the
Jail by tearing down a high fence
which enclosed it. AS soon as all of
the members of the vigilance party
We're inside the inclosure the leader
pounded on the Jail door. Sheriff, we
mean business" he called to the Off
Ger inside. You might as well go
home, boys" the sheriff answered.
II will never open this door. Duty is
duty. I'm here to observe the law
and protect these men," For reply
three or four sturdy members of the
mob fell against the door, breaking it..
Inside one of the party dealt the sher-
iff a blow with his revolver, telling
him. The mob then completed its
work.
Walter Peeler, aged II. a nephew of
Miller confined in the Jail for COM
plicity in the murder was not mo-
Tested by the lynchers. He turned
states evidence a week ago and was
being held as a witness.
The electric wires We're cut by the
mob prior to the hanging and the city
thrown into complete darkness
Bobbitt was killed from ambush
while driving in his wagon a few
miles out from Ada on February 20,
last. Two weeks ago the prisoners
We're placed under arrest at Fort
Worth Tex, for the murder and
brought to Ada for trial. The author
tiles alleged that Allen and West who
were wealthy cattlemen of Canadian,
Tex, hired Miller to kill Bobbitt,
Burrell paying Miller the money
Allen, West and Bobbitt were neigh
boring ranchers in Seminole county
and the trouble is alleged to have
been due to an old disagreement.

Special to the Daily Missoulian.
Hamilton, April 19.-The North
ern Pacific surveyors encamped at
SteVensville have surveyed two
routes through that place, one of
which would run parallel with Main
street, two blocks west. The other
survey goes about three quarters of
a mile east of SteVenSville The
former survey will be much more
satisfactory than the east side one
to the people of StevensVille, as the
warehouses in this case would be
near to the business section of the
town. Engineer Westfall, who Is in
charge of the surveying crew here
went to Missoula yesterday to con-
suit with the chief engineer of the
Northern Pacific at Missoula as to
which of these routes II would be
advisable to take. The route will
be surveyed on toward Hamilton at
once and Mr.. Westfall stated that he
expects to have his camp establish
ed at Hamilton within week.

pie correspondent of the Times says
that yesterday parliament discussed
whether the deputies should continue
their deliberations in the capital OF
repair to Tcheldia They decided to
remain in the capital.
Ismael Kemal, chief of the liberal
union, committed gross blunder
Sunday that cost him his chances of
the presidency of the chamber, by in
forming the house that the deputies,
no matter to which party they be-
longed, ran no risk from the mutt
neerng soldiers. The remark natur-
ally was ill-received by majority
of the members.
A recent dispatch to the Times
Vienna says that the repor- is pub

which is substantiated daily by 1ne

The United States Government al
lows one hundred dollars per year io'
clothing to each inmate, while the gen
eral impression which prevails IN the
mind of the public is that this money
goes direct to the Home for It's use,
is far from right. The money received
from the Government goes direct into
the State Treasury and is not USED oy
the Home authorities in any way whaV'
ever.
The dining room is situated IN lne

good, wholesome and substantial meais

Of twenty cents man per oay'
The table at the home will compare
favorably with any hotel or boarding
house in Hot Springs, everything Is
furnished in abundance which IS pro-
badly due to the satisfied condition OF
the inmates. The saying is, eff you
keep a man well fed you keep him
happy and contented," which is prov
en- by the delightful meals served at
the home and the contented aspect
shown by the members.
There are eighteen cottages which
are occupied by old soldiers and their
wives, the first one being built in the
year 1902. Each consists of three
rooms, sitting room, bed room and
kitchen. Are very commodious and
pleasantly situated. The cottages are
constantly filled, as there are between
twenty and thirty applicants on file
at the office.
The State Home furnishes each in.
mate with complete suit of clothes,
underclothes, socks, shirts, shoes, and
hat, once every six months, or when
worn ont, they may be renewed.
Take it all together it is a very
pleasant place for an old soldier who
is incapacitated for further labor to
spend his last remaining days. Every
thing is done by the management to
make it pleasant as possible for the
inmates, the regulations being practi-
cally mill, amounting to the ardous
task Of eating three meals day, and
going to bed by nine-thirty.

May Parallel Missouri

OacOma-Great excitement pl evailS
in and about Oacoma on account OF
unmistable signs of immediate and far
reaching railway movements. The
surveyors of the c. M. & St. p. have
quietly run line paralleling the Mis-
souri, river from west of Mcbridge
south, touching up Plum creek, cross
ing Antelope and Cedar creeks and
touching the river again at Oacoma
from which point they go south thru
Gregory county to the state line. Very
earl this spring a corps Of surveyors
ran lines to the south OF Oacoma and
to all inquiries responded that they
were leveling the main line, but it
now transpires that they we're in fact
running q new line to the southwest.
About a month ago another crew of
ten men picked this survey up at q
point on Bull creek south of the White
river, and pushed 1t rapidly to the
Trip county line. It is expected that
the graders will begin work on tbs
line this fall, as 1t appears to be the
policy Of the company to push 1t thru
to completion at the very earliest mo-
ment. There is no longer any quest on
but that the Milwaukee will tegin the
construction of their permanent steel
bridge ut Oacoma the coming winter
doing much Of the pier work from the
ice. Long before the opening of the
Great Sioux reservation the Milwau-
kee put $4,000 into the purchase of
tract OF GAO acre at this point, but ow-
ing to hard times in the early nineties
they forfeited their grant, but they
have never changed their plans with
regard to Oacoma and there is an al
most absolute certainty that we will
hGve the machine shops at Oacoma
within the next two years.
