UNEXPECTED DIFFICULTIES ARE

The Dominion Giving Itself up to Pc.
 Itical Excitement.

Toronto. Aug. 24.-With the election that will decide the fate of the re- ciprOcity agreement more than three weeks off. the fight in this industrial and agricultural province of Canada has reached a point where practically everything else is neglected for poli- tics
 R. L. Borden, leader of the opposi- tiOn, completed his Ontario tour hay ing made more than thirty speeches and will devote the rest of the time to Quebec and the maritime provinces where his own seat of Halifax is thought to be in danger. Premier Laurie will return to Ontario next week and make several speeches It is conceded that it will be the farm CTS vote that will decide the fate of reciprocity.
 An unusual feature of the campaign is the fact that Clifford Sifton, former minister of the interior and a life long liberal has come out against recipro- city. In some of the farming com munities the failure of the farmers bank which cost the farmers of sev- eral countries thousands of dollars is being seized upon by the op- position and may lose the government many votes. The alleged laxity of the finance minister is being used as an argument against the government

OFFICERS OVERP0WERED
The Conflagration Was on a Main Street and Was Re- garded by Men and Wom- en in Automobiles as 9 Pleasing Spectacle.

Purcell, Okla, Aug. 24.-Pete Carter. negro identified as the person who attacked Mrs. Minnie Spraggins, and set fire to her home near here last night was burned to death by a mob in the main street of Purcell late today. Three thousand people wit messed the negro's death.
 Under sheriff Paris, and deputy Hayes made desperate efforts to pre- vent the burning of the negro, but the mob locked them in the courthouse. While men and women women were Hooking on. few men soaked a brush pile with kerosene and then poured oil on the negro, who was then thrown on the pile of brush. A torch was touched to the faggots and the flames shot up, hiding the screaming black from view. His body was burned to a crisp.
 The negro was caught by three other blacks today near the Oklahoma Central railroad station as he was preparing to leave town. He was found hiding under a box car. The three men hauled and jerked Carter along the main street of the town where le Was lullitu pNtl Np q crowd which quickly gathered when the report spread that the negro was captured
 Farris and Hayes were among the first to reach the spot where the mob was gathered and made strong efforts to prevent the lynching, assuring the mob that there would be no. chance of the negrO's escape. The mob would not listen to them, and when they be- came more insistent, the two officers were taken bodily to the court house and locked in.
 As soon as the officers were safe ly locked up, the negro was led out and after he was saturated with oil. he was tied to a telephone pole on top of a high pile of brush. As the torch was applied the negro screamed and begged for mercy. Flames leaped high in the aid, and the crowd cheered as the fiery flames licked the black form. Many men and women in automobiles watched the dying agony of the doomed wretch.
 Mrs Spraggins was able to discuss the crime for the first time today. She said Carter entered her home at o'clock last night and struck her on the head with a piece of gas pipe knocking her down. He beat her till she was almost senseless and then attacked her, He tore up q mattress, scattered it over her body and set fire to it, fleeing from the house.
 Just as she began to crawl from the blazing mattress the negro re- turned. Again he beat her with the gas pipe, breaking her jaw. After he left she managed to crawl out of the house under bench. Her husband returning home found his wife, and rushed to the doctors. The homie was destroyed. The negro was soon ar rested at his home in bed. Shortly after he escaped from constable and when the word that he had es- capped became public hundreds of men started in the search, which ended with his capture today. Mrs. Sprag- gin is expected Sto die.

COMPILATION 0F DATA
Engineer Plans to Invade Field of Literature But Only in an Official Way. Work Valuable to Two Nations.

Though Supervising Engineer L. c.
 Hill of the reclamation service has never posed as an author he has in mind the preparation of a volume at an early day. for which there will undoubtedly be a great demand, at least in official quarters. and among all who are interested in keeping apace with the industrial develop ment of the country. MT. Hills pro ject is not in pursuance of literary fame for his book will probably be an official document with the United States as his publishing agent. The subject of it will be the irrigation and power possibilities of the Colo rado river. though that may not be the wording of it's title. The size of the volume cannot now be stated but naturally it will be no mere leaflet for the subject is too big to deal with in a brief paper.
 The preparation of such a volume has never until recently been possi- ble, on lines as comprehensive as he desires to write. but he thinks now that there is now available an ample number of maps, rainfall and runOff reports from the Colorado watershed. reports from gazing stations, surveys and other data, to deal with the subject quite thoroughly and he will begin the assembling of data at once. expecting to undertake the work as soon as he returns from his present trip around the circle. visiting the projects under his direction and con- ferring with the supervising engineers and the secretary of the interior.
 Speaking approximately and with out data MT. Hill says the Colorado river. properly utilized. will furnish water for about 100000 acres of land, below the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. to say nothing of smaller tracts that may be watered in the mountain regions above the canyon Of this about a half million acres lie in Mexico. but from an industrial viewpoint this country is but slightly less interested in the watering of that area than the areas available in Ihfs country, for the reason that the Mex ican lands are tributary to American towns and commercial centers. They are situated south of Yuma and the Imperial country and while the de- velopment will be on Mexican soil. the outlet will in large measure be through American towns and over American highways.
 Before the river can be utilized fully it will require a treaty with Mexico under which the two govern ments can operate to define tho rights of both and to insure the pay ment by Mexico, of her portion of the expense of reclamation. Such volume as MT. Hill proposes to write will be authoritative. covering the official studies of the river to date and will of course be carefully stud jed by the two governments in con nection with matters that are sure to arise in the future, whether imme- diately or a little later.

FIRST DAY WAS DAMAGING

Chesterfield Courthouse. Va, Aug. 24.-On the first anniversary of his marriage to the woman he is accused of murdering. Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., sat in a stuffy court room today and heard seven witnesses give testimony one which the state expects 70 send him to the electric chair. A few feet away on the court house lawn, stood the bloody automobile in which his young wife met death. Beattie calmy inspected the automobile when it ar rived and not once did he show any sign of blanching.
 Twice during the cross examination of two detectives Beattie eXpre ssed amusement and it was with visible effort that he withheld laughter.
 Of the seven witnesses two were doctors who examined Mrs. Beattie's body. The others were two detectives and Thomas owen, an uncle of Mrs. Beattie, May Stuart, an aged woman and Coroner Loving.
 Mrs. Stuart told of Beattie's asso- citation with Beulah Binford. None of the witnesses except owen recalled that Beattie expressed any grief over the affair The others said he did not shed tear.
 Not until May Stuart took the stand did the prosecution begin it's at tempt to reveal the real motive for the crime. She is the proprietress of resort at Richmond She testified that Beattie came to the resort four times with Beulah Binford about two months before the crime, the last time on the night before the crime was continued. There was introduced letter written by Beattie to the Bin ford girl on his fathers business sta tiOnery. It read:
 Dear Kid: Pay this on the furni- ture and make him give you an itemiz- ed account of what you must pay each week. Be good With oceans of love, brimming with kisses, yours, Hon."
 pr. Mercer. in describing the wounds, said Mrs. Beattie undoubtedly died instantly He said that Beattie's first request of him was for a drink of whiskey. He had none but gave him some brandy. It was not long until the doctor noticed Beattie stag gering.
 The detectives testified that they believed that Beattie shot his wife while out of the automobile and then lifted her in, and drove to town. The jury was directed to examine the bot tom of the automobile to determine if the blood could run through. This will be by the way of explaining, if possible, how a large pool of blood came to be in the road near the scene of the crime The father of the accused sat by his sons side throughout the day.
