Police Cut Down Lineman Who Dies
When Rescued.

Wichita, Kan, June "a crowd
was unable to save the life of Lester P.
Atterbury, Kansas and Missouri Tele-
phone Company lineman who was
caught in a net of live wires thirty feet
in the air, and could only stand and
watch his fight for life. Several police
men held a carpet beneath him into
which he might drop if e succeeded
in freeing himself. He was finally cut
down, but died few minutes later
Atterbury was repairing a break in
the line when several wires suddenly
gripped his left side. He struggled to
free himself with his right hand. A
large crowd gathered quickly, but was
unable to help him. Patrolman fin
ally succeeded in cutting him down
and he fell into the improvised net.
He died before he could receive medi-
cal attention. Atterbury was 80 years
old and had been in the employ of the
Kansas and Missouri Telephone Com
pany more than ten years.

Moran, Z an. June 9.-Relatives of

injuries he received. Others fear that,

fruitless, newspaper advertising mas

him. So far this too, has been III
vain.
Elumbaugh lived here prior to going
to Missouri and had a good reputa-
ton.
The afternoon of Saturday, May 81,
the home Of John Hopkins of the Mis-
souri, town was broken into and sew
eral things stolen.
No money was found, but the thief
took jug OF whisky, a quart of wine
and shotgun SHELLS. Bloodhounds were
obtained from Mountain Grove and
placed on the track and struck a trail
to the home of Armon Elumbaugh.
The hounds were followed by mob OF
about $50 men and boys, who took FL
limbaugh in charge and kept him all
night. They demanded a confession.
Elumbaueh denied again and again
that he had any knowledge of the rob-
berry. Having made up its mind that ne

word. Threats were made that unless
Elumbaugh confessed they would kill
him.
Trembling with fear and hoping to es

he commits ed the robbery, whereupon
the mob having heard what it had
made up it's mind to hear, took the
young man to the edge of town and
after beating him severely ordered MIN
to leave and never return. Glad to

Learn He Is Innocent.
A few days later it was learned that
Elumbaugh was absolutely innocent.
He was exonerated, but that could not
undo the treatment he had received
at the hands of the mob.
Ezra Blalock was found with a jug
of whisky which Hopkins testifies was
the jug stolen from his house. Blalock
is here in Jail awaiting trial. When
Elumbaugh confessed to taking the
whisky he also said he drank what he
wanted and threw the jug in the Gas
conada river.
Elunbaugh's relatives intend when
he is found and returns, to prosecute
the men and boys who composed the
mob. The name of each one is known.
