had been aroused, sprang to the
door and attempted to shut it,
but was jammed back against
the wall by the impetus with

The lights were turned on and

work was done with accuracy and

On entering the Jail the re-
ceiser TO the telephone was jerk
ed loose and the outside connec-
tion broken by throwing a rope
over the wire and jerking it from
its connection. This made it
necessary that the jailor foot it
to Sheriff Overman' house, sew

vile and made a murderous as
sault upon his wife, beating her
over the head with a revolver
and then kicking her almost to
death, her life being despaired
of for many days. Mrs. Mallick,
who is a highly educated lady,
is well known in Grangeville and
vicinity, and also has hosts of
friends throughout Idaho county,
Lewiston and Walla Walla, who
hold her in the highest esteem
for her many lady like and low
able qualities. The brutal and
unprovoked assault upon such a
lady raised the ire of the citizens
of this section to a white heat,
it would seem, and the very fear
that the one who made the muir
derous attempt upon her life
would not have justice meted out
to him by due process of law, in
view of the number of criminals
who have been allowed to slip
through the tolls, in very easy
manner, brought about the un-

evitable results of Lax law en-
forcement, and should be les

At 2 o'clock Friday morning,
September LIST, a mob of some
twenty masked men surrounded
the condemned Jail at Grange
vile, in which prisoners for the
term of district court now in ses-
sion are being held, and cover
ing the guards, Charles Waldum
and j. f. Mclean with guns, Sc
cured the key to the cell in which
Pete Mallick, the wife beaten, was
confined, and proceeded to shoot
him to death.
The Jail, which has been con-
demned as unsafe, was double
guarded by Tailor Mclean and
assistant, Charles Waldum, owing
to the fact that all the prisoners
for this term of court were held
there.
At 2 o'clock Friday morning
Waldum, who was on guard while
Mclean was sleeping in his room,
hearing a noise, stepped outside
the jal, when he was covered
with guns in the hands of two or
three determined looking men
with masked faces, and ordered
to hold up his hands, while a

Is that II condemnation Of the playgocr or Of the play?
There are good reasons for believing that the fundamental SYM
pathies of the human heart are essentially the same in all lands and
among all races; that they remain unchanged from age to age,
despite all variations and differences of manners, of customs and even
Of morals.
But there are wide differences in methods Of playing upon those
%sympathies. Hamlet Knocked at The presumptuous friends who, al
though they could not play upon so simple an instrument as a flute,
thought to play upon him. Many of our dramatists and actors are
like those same fine gentlemen. They take the human heart for
a flute and try to play upon it, but make us laugh whore we should
weep, and weep where we should laugh.
