FOUR ARE HANGED.
Judge Lynch Notes Out Justice to Men
Who Killed U. s. Marshal

Ada, Okla, April 19th.-Four proni-
nent cattlemen were taken from the ciry
jail here and iynched by mob of 100
citizens today
The victims were:
J. b. MILLER, Fort Worth, Texas.
y. b. BURRELL. Duncan. Okla.
JESSE WEST, Canadian. Texas.
JOE ALLAN, Canadian Texas.
The mob Is said to have organized iu
the Commercial Club rooms and march
ed to the Jail at o'clock this morning.
Only one man stood guard at the prison
and he was quickly overpowerei, and
the TOUR prisoners seized, taken to a
nearby barn and hung from the rafters.
Inc bodies were cut down about nine
o clock There was little excitement
during the lynching.
The m-n were held on q charge of
completely in the murder of United
States Marshal Bobbitt, near Ada. last
February. Bobbitt was shot from am
bush on HIS way home. The examining
trial was held THURSDAY, but no inact-
ment was returned. Miller had killed
SIX men in his time and was ''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 prom
inent citizens of the city and only a few
were masked. The authorities were
powerless to prevent the lynching, as
the early hour placed them at disad-
vantage. The entire formation of the
mob, and the lynching which followed,
was performed in the most methodical
manner. So intense was feeling dur
ing the preliminary hearing of the men
that Judge Brown prohibited the publ
cation of the evidence.
Burrell was a newphew of Miller and
turned States evidence against Miller
and told of the completed plans of West
and Allen to murder Robbitt, long
time enemy of both. No arrests of the
lynchers have been made.

CONSISTS IN ANCIENT oasEcE
a Playwright Says Cycling skirts
Were Also Common There.

The discovery has been made in
Paris recently, that the Greeks 1000
years ago wore corsets and other AZ
ticles OF modern feminine dress ac-
cording to the Paris correspondent Of
the New York Times. Nine. Paquin
and Jules Bots disclosed the fact 10
the latters play. La Furie." at the
Coincide Franchise, for which the IA
nous dressmaker designed the COS
TUNES after consulting some Of the
Oldest records. Jules Bots said to me:
here Is really nothing new under
the sun. The ordinary conception of
Greek dress refers only to certain De-
RODS. / know what am talking
about.
1 have studied the works OF Schlie-
mann on Mycenae and OF Evans and
De Mosso on the prehistoric epochs.
1 have made excavations at Knossos
and in Crete. l have visited museums.
L don't imagine the things write
about. The Grecians OF the most an
cient periods had modern figures. This
Is the point 1 insist upon. Look at
the statues Of the women, ancient
Greek vases and sculptures and you
VIII see ribbons, crinoline, head
dresses, basques and corsets The
cycling skirt WAS the usual mode at
the court Of Agamemmon."
To prove his points NJ. Bots had pho
tographs OF old sculptures and vases.
These are extraordinarily like the
modes Of 1880. From these Nine. Pa
Quin made the costumes for the play.
or course, this upsets popular ideas
about Greek dress. and probably a mu-
steal play showing Ulysses in pajamas
and Dido in a kimono will be pro-
duced on the boulevard as a result.

Remarkable Educated Horse.

The remarkable sagacity of Trixie,

for by Mrs. Louise Culp, of Cleveland

on exhibition at the jamestown fair.

owner to the horse. Her name is
Louise"-dividing the syllables and

The horse promptly spelled the
name and spelled it phonetically-
'Io-es."
About two months later, when he
had become acquainted with the
name, he also conformed to the spell.

What puzzles the students of natural
history is how the horse learned to

10000 KILLED IN UPRISING.
Asia Miner Again the Scene of Bloody
Massaores by The Turks.

Beirat, Syria, April ia terrible
uprising has occurred in Adana. Street
fighting has been going on for three
days and at least 10000 persons have
been killed. The city has been partial
ly destroyed by fire. Two American
missionaries named Rogers and Maurer
have been killed. All the other Amer
leans are safe. The British vice counsel.
Major Daughty-Wylie, is among the
wounded. He was shot through the
arm.
At Tarsus there was less loss of life.
The Armenian quarter, however. was
destroyed. Four thousand refugees are
housed in the American mission. The
need of relief is urgent, for shortly the
fugitives will be on the verge of starva-
ton. Conditions in the vicinity of Alex
andretta also are most serious.
Three French warships are hurrying
to Messina, where the situation is des-
perate. The local troops and the gov
ernor are doing their best to protect the
town, but there is great fear that it
cannot hold out much longer against the
invasion of the Moslems, who are sweep
ing down in large numbers. A British
warship is proceeding to Alexandretta,
which is threatened by the Moslems.
The army raised by the Young Turks.
composed of soldiers who have revolted,
has promised not to enter Constanti-
nople but to await fulfllment of their
demands.
According to the latest news from
Adana the missionaries do not dare to
leave the mission house. Adana is still
burning, but it is reported that not less
than 8, 900 persons are homeless at Tar
gus.
Philadelphia, April 19.-Rev. Haig Y.
Yardumian, pastor of the Armenian
Evangelical Church, in Philadelphia, has
sent letter TO President Taft asking
him to use his influence to prevent the
wholesale massacres of Armenians in
Asia Minor. Rev. Yardumian, in his
letter, says:
THE Moslem fanaticism has been
again melted most malignly in Asia Mi
nor against the Christian Armenians.
Thousands have been slain treacherous-
ly or forced to perish in flames, despite
the gallant stand of the Armenians
against overwhelming odds. If these
massacres are left unchecked, the most
horrible bloodshed and rapine will be re-
corded in the annals of human history
in an age of freedom and progress.
I'VE appeal to you to use the infiu-
ence of your great office in order to
stop the hand of the slayer in the name
Of God, in the name of humanity and
justice known to and upheld by the
noble American people.

Old and New.

The penny-or twocent-post be-
tween England and America is a new
and at the same time very old thing.
1t is over 200 years old. 1t existed in
1898.
In those days shipmasters crossing
the Atlantic either way were very
glad to carry letters and messages. A
week or two before their ships sailed
they would hang up bags in coffee
houses, and all letters dropped into
these bags were carried over seas
and faithfully delivered at the rate
Of a penny, or two cents, apiece.

last week. The rate heretofore had
been from S5 to IS cents for steam coal
and from $1.05 to $1.15 on domestic

believed that the new rate will be of

The town of Pulaski has issued bonds
to the amount of $40, 900 for the pur-
pose of constructing a water system for
that town, the present supply of water
and the system being inadequate to the
cisy's demands. The entire issue of
$40, 900 was subscribed for by Chicago
concern at $101.25, or at premium of
81. 25 on the $100, making a total premi-
UNI of $500. A dam two hundred feet
long and thirty feet high will be built
in which to store the water supply.
THIS will give water sufficient to supply
about four times the present population
of Pulaski.
