THE LYNCHERS
One of the Three Negroes is in Hid.
ing and May Tell Who Were
Members Of the
Mob.
AN EXCITING SITUATION
Governor VIII Send Entire State
Militia to Kentucky Town in
Order to Protect
The Man.

SHELBYVILLE. Ky, Jan. 19.-That
the members of the mob who lynched
three negroes here last Saturday
morning are in serious predicament
was known today when it was found
out that James West, one of the three
negroes who was taken from the Jail.
but escaped, is well and in hiding
near the city.
A mob was formed, 1t is said, last
night, to look for the negro, but he
could not be found.
The governor stated today that he
would send the entire state militia
to Shelbyville to protect West If he
can be found. The governor is de-
termined to do what lies in his pow
er to protect the negroes and bring
the mob to justice.
There is feeling of uneasiness
4 here, and if West can be found there
will be a second lynching, as all OF
4 the members realize the seriousness
+ of their predicamens if the negro tells
! his story before jury.
/ West recognized most of the mem.

story told by his mother, who saw

According to his story, Vests

When the rope holding Patterson
broke and his body descended into
/ the creek, causing the members O
4 the mob to start after him, West says
he released his hands and caught
hold of the rope from which he was
suspended from the bridge.
Finally he freed his head from the
moose, and dropped into the creek be
low, after the mob started on the

FRANKLIN'S GHOST
WITH DIR. COOK
Did Not See .Peary But Started the
Doctor Toward the
Pole.

WASHINGTON, Jan 19.-Accord.
ing to the testimony of prominent dis
embodied spirits, neither DIR. Cook nor
Civil Engineer Peary reached the
north pole. but Cook got nearer to the
goal than his rival
This somewhat astonishing state
ment is contained in a letter from W
r. Stead of London 10 Arthur Rollin
son Colburn, a Washington lawyer
and forwarded by Mr. Coluburn to
Representative Roberts of Massachu
setts. member of the house com
mittee on naval affairs. who has been
outspoken in his opposition 10 the
proposition that congress- reward
Peary for his Arctic explorations.
In Mr. Stead's letter TO MI Colburn
he says: With regards TO the pols
controversy, the only message which
we have received on the subject was
one from Sir John Franklin last year.
He did not say anything about Peary.
but said he personally conducted Cook
nearly to the pole, and then left him
to complete he journey himself. See
ing you have received a communica-
ton in the same eanse, thought this
would interest -'ou.7
Mr. Colburn Thinks the strangest
feature abou the communication from
Mr.. Stead is the statement that when
near the pole the spirit Of Sit John
Franklin left Dr. Cook to finish the
journey alone.

Six Miners
WERE KILLED
Explosion in Western Mine Resulted
in Halt Dozen Deaths and
Injuries to Two
Others.
POWDER EXPLOSION
TWO Other Men Are Said to Be
Somewhere In the Mine and
May Have Lost
Their Lives.

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 19.-As
result of an explosion in the Keating
mine at Radersburg, forty miles from
here, six miners are dead, two are
badly injured and there is an uncon-
firmed rumor that two more men are
somewhere in the workings.
Pending an investigation, officials OF
the Heating Gold Mining company
said six men had been killed and two
others had been injured, that no one
below the S00-foot level was hurt, that
all Of the bodies had been recovered,
and that the men working below the
360-foot level were taken out through
other than the main shaft.
The impression around Radershurg
is that the powder magazine in the
mine exploded. This magazine, which
was said to have contained between
500 and 800 pounds of dynamite, was
on the 200-foot level. The men were
killed by the concussion. The force
of the explosion was felt for miles
around
The coroner Of Broadwater county,
in which the Heating mine is located.

DEADLOCK CONTINUES
Voting Continues About the Same
With Senator Young In tho
Lead But Without the
Wanted Majority.

DES MONIES, Jan. 19.---Guy A.
Feely of Waterloo withdrew from
the senatorial race last night and his
seven votes will be distributed today
among the six other republican candi-
dates for the seat of the late Senator
Dolliver.
The vote Wednesday disclosed but
four changes from the vote of Tues
day, with which the senatorial dead
lock was inaugurated. They were in
cidental and not significant.
Friends of A. D. Funk and w. S.
Kenyon are confident that each will
gain to the extent Of hal. of the Fee
ly votes. Judge Kenyon arrived last
night from Washington.
Senator Young's friends have been
discouraged by his failure to poll the
full standpat vote and by the fact
that yesterday he lost one vote in
stead of gaining.
Kenyon, the leading progressive
candidate, and Funk, who follows him
closely, maintained their relative
places. There were no indications
last night that the deadlock would be
fractured today or at an early date.
Supporters of the republican candi.
dates are devoting themselves to Sc.
curing pledges for second choice
votes, if break should occur in the
ranks of any of the other candidates
4 To this end the friends of Funk have
been bnsy in the effort to secure
1 pledges from the standpatters, twent,
or more of whose votes must switch
away from Senator Young to effect
the election of any of the progressive
candidates for ;enator if one of the
latter is able to rally all of the pro
gressive members of the legislature
and extinguish his opponents alto
| gether.
/ The fact that Senator Young was
unable to poll all of the standpat vote
has led to the belief that the standpat
strength which he has may break
away earlier than he or his friends
have expected.
The vote in the joint session yester
day resulted as follows:
