Ada, Okla. April 20.-Two hun
dred citizens of Ada, nearly all of
them of the better class, thoroughly
disguised with the Justice" melted
out to criminals in the smaller towns
of Oklahoma, took from Jail and
hanged four wealthy landowners for
the murder of Deputy United States
Marshal Bobbitt. The lynched men
were G.. b. Miller, Fort Worth, Tex.
B. b. Burrell, Duncan, Okla. Jesse
West and Joseph Allen of Canadian,
Texas.
Shortly after o'clock in the morn
ing the lynchers shut off the electric
street lights, cut the telephone COM
munication and quietly gathered near
the Jail.
A high board fence surrounding the
Jail was partly thrown down and the
crowd entered the enclosure. The
leader advanced and pounded on the
Jail door. Only Guard Mccarthy was
on duty.
Mccarthy" said the leader, open
this door at once. We mean bust
ness"
You might as well go home, boys, !"
responded the officer, this door will
never be opened from this side"
After conference, three of the mob
threw themselves against the frail jail
door and the mob rushed in. McCar
thy was knocked senseless with a re-
volver butt.
The mob led the four men to a barn,
a few hundred feet away and the
prisoners were carried to a beam and
strung up in row.
Just before the rope was placed
about his neck, Miller calmly removed
a diamond from his shirtfront, and re-
Fort Worth. From his necktie he
drew out diamond scarf pin, with
the request that it be given to Guard
Mccarthy for his kindness to him.

from the Jail they id not modest Oscar

New York, Sept. 30.-It was another
very nervous and irregular day in the
cotton market with support from west
ern and southern bulls increasing on
declines, but with renewed offerings
for both long and short account,
checking advances and with the close

higher.
The market opened steady at a de-
cline Of to points and sold to
points net lower during the early
trading under local bear pressure and
scattering liquidation which may have
been promoted by somewhat lower
Liverpool futures than looked for. The
English spot market made firm
showing, however, and as the market
worked nearer the 13-cent level there
was a renewal of bull support. Chi
cago houses were buying here, this be-
ing attributed to the following Of the
big grain operator, while New Orleans
bulls became rather aggressive In
their support at the decline. The de-
mand started coverings by early sell
ers for scalp and the market had
quite a sharp advance during the af-
ternoon, particularly as private wires
reported q better spot demand in the
south ard generally firm interior mar
kets. The southern spot markets ofh-
cially reported were unchanged to is
cent lower and after the local market
had sold s to 10 points net higher.
