First to Find Gold In America.

North America has counted as a

the late 40's. But It might we'll have
done 30 for nearly 200 years. Accord.

voyage round the world which began
In 171s the privateer Capt. shelyocke,
found In certain California valleys "a
rich black mold which, as you turn II
fresh up to the sun, appears az n in

we were little pretudiced," he adds,
against the thought that II could be
possible that this metal should be 40
promiscuously and universally mingled
with common earth, yet we endeavored
to cleanse and wash the earth from
some OF 1t. and the more we did the
more It appeared like gold. In order

That George Springmeyer would

general, Twas the statement made
this morning by Theo. Tobish, who
managed springmeyer's campaign
in the recent election. Tobish

train, and was en- route from
Goldfield to Carson City, where he
will start the contest proceedings.
The final count, as announced
on Monday by the secretary of
state, shows Springmeyer to be 65
votes behind Baker d The contest
will probably call for a recount of
the votes. !, cast in. Washoe.
Esmeralda, Nye and Clark counties,
although the entire: ballot from
every county may be counted. The
expense of the recount will have
to be met by Springmeyer, and the
work will be done by the Secretary
Of state. 1t is now thought that
j. w. Legate, who was defeated by
Josephs for the office of clerk of
the supreme court by1 IL votes, will
also demand q recount, now that
Springmeyer has taken the

was the Marshslsea prison for debt

man with "a mild voice, curling hair
and irresolute hands" as the years

OF the Msrshalsea," title II which he
grew to be ridtculously vain. And this
character (much Of the color of which
D1ckens Is said to have taken from
that OF his own father) is one OF the
most pathetic in any Of his novels

says 1t has long had a wicked repu-

a degraded and unhealthy spot to re-

OF highwaymen and debtors OF the

OF Birh. IN eleven Oh Tue temaln-
ing number the charge was At.
tempted criminal assault. In the
five cases of white men. four were
for murder end the other for
aiding and abetting in a Jail
delivery. Several Of the cases in
which negroes were tlynched were
based upon murder, or alleged
murder, of white women in which
the question of assault is implied.
AS in previous years, nearly all
the lynchings were in southern
states. Florida and Georgia having
ten each, Alabama and Arkansas
eight each, and Texas six. The
only lynching in the north occurred
in Ohio, the victim being Carl
Etherington, an agent of the Ohio
Anti-Saloon league, who met his
death at the hands of a mob in
Newark following his Imprisonment
in Jail on a charge of having
murdered saloon keeper while
making AFRAID on an alleged blind
tiger.
Following is the record for 1910
by states: Alabama, eight
negroes; Arkansas, eight; Florida,
eight negroes and two whites;
Georgia, ten negroes; Louisiana,
one white man; Mississippi, five
Missouri, three negroes;
North Carolina, one negro; South
Carolina, one negro; Tennessee,
two negroes; Texas, four negroes
and two whites Of the five whites
lynched, two were Italians, who
were lynched in Florida. They
were charged with murder and
with melting the riots during the
strike of cigar makers in Tampa.
Another of the white victims was
Mexican. who was shot and
burned at the stake near the Texas
border. following a confession that
he had murdered a white woman.
Of the fifty-two negro victims.
two were women.
The record of the crimes assault.
murder, seventeen; criminal
assault, ten; attempted criminal
assault eleven; robbery, four; at
temped murder, seven; aiding and
abetting Jail delivery, three; assault
with intent to do bodily injury.
one; insulting women, two;
threatening to commit murder,
two. -.-....
In many of the cases the
lynchings followed the arrest or
conviction of the victims on the
charges made against them. In
other cases the victims met death
while endeavoring to escape from
pursuing posses. In two cases the
negro victims were lynched by
mobs composed of members of their
own race. In almost every case
the victim was summarily hanged
or shot without burning at the
stake, such as accompanied these
acts of summary vengence informer
years.
In the foregoing record the
word "lynching"has been held to
apply only to the summary punish
ment inflicted by a mob or by any
number of citizens ON a person
alleged to have committed crime
for which that person should have
been tried according to law. This
Limitation excludes a number of
cases reported during the year,
such as the race war which oc-
Cured near Slocum, Texas, last
August, in which eight or ten
negroes were killed.
