MOB LYNCHED A WHITE MAN
DOWN IN ARKANSAS.
Walpass, Who Had a Negro Wife,
Aided His Muatto Sons in
Slaughter of Officers.
lTennessean-American J

Dumas, Ark, Sept. Forcing
their way into the Desha County
jail here, between fifty and one hun
dred men, members of a mob formed
so quietly that the authorities had
rot the slightest warning, overpow-
cred the deputies in charge and took
Chas Malpass, Sr., white, to water
tank and hanged him early today
The mob then dispersed without
demonstration None of it's members
is known to the authorities, accord
ing to their statement
The lynching followed a pitched
battle late yesterday at the home of
Malpass, in which Sheriff w. D. Pres
ton, of this county, Deputy Sheriff
Barney Stiel and two mulatto sons
of Malpass were killed, and Malpass
wounded Malpass' injuries were at
first believed to be mortal, but when
he was brought here and placed in
Jail his wounds were found not to
he serious. The wife of Malpass, a
Negress, and Malpass' younger son,
mulatto, escaped from the house
during the fighting The authorities
say they do not think the Negress
and the boy engaged in the battle
yesterday and for this reason it is
V0t thought they will be sought fur
ther in connection with the affair.
The sheriffs posse had gone to the
Malpass house to arrest the two mu-
latto sons of Malpass. The authori-
ties say the community lived in a
state of almost constant terror be-
cause of the Malpass family against
which prevailed intense feeling owing
to the head of the family being a
white man. No further trouble is ex-
pected.

Colorado Farmers Lose.

Denver.-In the Federal Court,
Judge Riner overruled the demurrer.
filed by Colorado farmers using
waters OF the Arkansas river, to the
Injunction suit Instituted against them
by Kansas users of the same waters
and known as the case of the United
States Irrigating Company and others
against the Graham Ditch Company
and others. The demurrer is over
ruled in respect 10 all the contentious
raised by Colorado with the exception
of the one holding that the state en-
gineer of Colorado and state water
commissioner should not have been
named as defendants in the action.
The court rules that the complainant
has no cause of action in regard to
the two state officials.
Clerk C. F. Bishop of the United
States Circuit court was notified Of
Judge Riner's ruling. No opinion ac-
companied the decision and the at
torneys for the plaintiffs and defend
ants differ as to the weight OF the de-
cision.
The suit which is the outcome OF
another conflict between Kansas and
Colorado irrigationists over the use of
the waters of the Arkansas is regard
ed by many as being the most import
ant in the way of irrigation litigation
that has come up in the West since
the Kansas-Colorado case.

Greeley Wins Bic Victory.

ST. Louis.-In the United Stats Cir
cult Court of Appeals the city of
Greeley won an important victory,
when an opinion was handed down af-
firming the decision Of the lower court
in its suit against the Union Pacific
Railroad Company.
The opinion was written by Judge
W. H. Munger and was concurred in
by Judges Henry T. Reed and W. H.
Sanborn with slight exceptions.
The suit was TO clear the title TO
the roads alleged right Of way from
Denver to Cheyenne and to procure in
functions prohibiting interference
with the right of way, which, by an
act of Congress, the railroad claimed
to be 900 feet.
Judge Munger concluded that the
property in question was for public
and not for private use. and that the
part of it that Greeley wishes to use
Is not required for an alleged right
of way and is not necessary for the
road to discharge its duties to the
public.
He considers the road is fully barred
from claiming It is entitled 10 posses
sion of the entire 800 feet OF the right
of way and that the decree Of the low
er court was right
Judge Reed said the city has a right
TO lay streets across the right of way.
The decision means the saving of
100000 10 Greeley. as there are many
public Improvements and business
houses on the extra 800 feet claimed.
1t is believed that had the Union
Pacific Obtained a 4o0-foot right of
way through Greeley, it would have
fought for the same between Denver
and Cheyenne, depriving farmers of
hundreds of acres OF cultivated fields.
