murderously assaulted and robbed
Benjamin Jones, foreman of the Win
die e. Burr livery stable, Monday night
to the county Jail at Columbus last
night, a lynching undoubtedly would
have taken place Boston now is con-
fined safely and the mob which in
creased throughout the day has dis
appeared. Jones died at st. Johns
hospital, Joplin, late yesterday after
noon.
Boston, or Baldridge, as he some
times was known, was caught early
yesterday morning by officers at the
Frisco depot, where it was his inten-
tion to board an east-bound train. At
first he denied his identity, but later,
after three revolvers had been point
ed at him and he was ordered to con-
fess, he broke down and admitted hav-
ing been implicated in the killing of
Jones, but maintained that another
negro, had done the slugging.
Taken to police headquarters, Bos-
ton was subjected to the third degree
and confessed everything. He said
that he had hit Jones on the head with
a scantling, after which he had run
away. Something more than Sc was
found in his trousers, but as Jones was
known to have had more money a clos

Boston at first demurred, but final

ed up, and from behind the bars of his
cell declared that he alone had done
the work and that the other negro
had nothing to do with it nor had he
even known of it.
Shortly after daybreak men begar
to gather around police headquarters
and before o'clock hundreds were
discussing the advisability of lynch

WALKER HAS NOT THE BLUES
OVER THE COPPER SITUATION

and few of them have the courage
or the money with which TO make
new purchases to average at this
low level One of the opportunities
Of a lifetime is presented to men
with money, however. Il is as near
a certainty as anything can be that
within one to three years Amalgam-
ated will again sell above 500, and
that other good coppers will advance
in like ratio.
If one is interested in the specu-
lative end only, it does not much
matter now what active copper stock
he buys. Undoubtedly there are a
number of stocks on the list. not at
all conspicuous at present. which will
advance from 200 to 500 per cent in
the coming two or three years.
Viewed from a semi-inyestment
standpoine, Utah Copper, Nevada
Consolidated, Copper Range. Osceola,
Tennessee Copper CRANKY, Utah
Consolidated, Butte Coalition. Anal
gamated, Anaconda, Calumet & Ari-
IONA. Quincy, Wolverine and Ahmeek
should be bought Among the stocks
representing a great deal of demon
strated value and coming dividends
Lake is one of the best purchases. I
would buy also Ray Consolidated,
Miami, Chino. Inspiration. Live Oak,
Giroux East Butte and all Of the low
priced Lake Superior coppers. Only a
dozen or so buyers win get the stock
at the bottom prices of this decline.
There will be profits enough for
those wo get the copper within five
points Of the bottom quotation TO sat
isfy the most avaricious. l am more
bullish on coppers now than / have
been at any previous time since
October, 1907.
Calumet & Arizona is probably
earning at the rate OF per cent on
the current selling price of its stock.
Given a 15-cent copper market for
five years this company would earn
and pay in dividends as much as its
stock is now selling for, without dis
turbing its treasury surplus of over
SO 600 600. Owners of this stock do
well to hold it and buy more on this
decline.
Superior & Pittsburg is de-
clared by leading engineers to be
the future of the Bisbee district"
By this they mean tina. the company
will be a large producer for a gener-
alton after the Copper uQeen and
Calumet&Arizona outputs have begun
to decline Its big captilazation, 1901
900 shares, operates against the stock
as a speculation; but it is safe stock
to buy and hold for a five or 1O-point
rise.

big to permit OF hasty aceion. 1t will
probably require several months Of
investigation before and fair decision
can be attained, and it is altogether
premature TO assume that such action
will be unfavorable to the railroads.
That the Commissioners have made
concessions TO the railroads in the
matter of Communication rates is proof
that they are not animated by any
spirit of unfairness or antagonism:
yet they may not be proof against
political influence which will certain
ly be brought to bear. +,
The general business is not satisfac-
tory. Reactionary tendencies multiply
and the liquidation which hes taken
place on the Stock Exchange is now
extending to the commodity markets.
Economy is becoming the order of the
day, having been rendered imperative
by the extravaganza which has per-
meater all classes OF consumers for
some years past What with automo-
biles and other inordinate indulgences
the buying power of many people has
been, at least temporarily, impaired
A period of rest is needed for recup-
Grafton. A good many failures save
taken place during the past six
months, and more are 20 be antici-
pated. Lower prices for commodities,
however and time for recuperation
will gradually work out a better and
sounder situation. Labor is still gener-
ally well employed and securing good
wages; so that there should be no ser
ious abatement in the consumption
of necessities. Luxuries only should
suffer. Should the crops turn out sat
isfactorily, and should the country
escape any unfavorable political devel
/ opments, We may look for a resump
ton Of trade activity next fall and
winter. Disappointment, however, in
either Of these respects would newt
ably affect trade injuriously; hence
q period OF caution and waiting is
necessary, until the possible outcome
( of these elements can be fairly esti
mated.
The lookout for the stock market
is sin somewhat confused. Securities
during the last six months have under
gone a tremendous shrinkase dis
counting in advance the depression il
trade and industry which is now fore
seen. The Stock Exchange always dis
counts such conditions in advance
and then starts out to anticipate bust
ness improvement while business is
still passing through the midst Of de
preston. One reason for such an an
Omaly is that money at one time re
quired for legitimate business opera
tons subsequently finds more profit
able employment in cheap securities
For investors the present is unQues
tionahly an attractive opportunity
because many sound dividend payer

that conditions have become so I'M

The collapse in Lake and the low

pers this week marks, in my opinion,
the final cleaning up OF speculative
accounts on which the margins had

These stocks declined not on account
Of unfacorible mining developments,

of generally bad market conditions.
