For the purpose of organizing the
alumni of the University of oregon
into a working body to assist in up
holding the much needed appropri-
alton voted to that institution and
held up by referendum petitions
teeming with fraud, Arthur NJ. Geary,
graduate manager of student activi-
ties at the university, was in the city
yesterday. In speaking of the situ-
alton and the circumstances leading
Up to it, Mr.. Geary had the following
to say:
There is strong probability that
the people of the state for third
time will be required to vote upon a
University of Oregon appropriation
granted by the legislature and held UP
by the application of the referen-
dunn. Both times before the people
OF Umatilla county in particular and
of the state at large approved the bills
for the support of higher education
by substantial majorities. This time
the referendum petitions holding ur
educational progress in this growing
state already backward in this respect
have been shown to be corrupt and
not to have been signed by bona fide
voters of Oregon, but mainly by few
crooks who forged names wholesale
for the net return of ten cents man

The Union Pacific is laying 127
miles of double track east of Granger,
WyO., where it connects with the
Oregon Short Line. This is in two
strips of 100 miles and % miles, re-
spectively. The longer portion is in
the state of Nebraska, and when this
is completed the Union Pacific will
have a double track completely across

Mob of Infuriated Tyler Citizens Take Prisoner
From Sheriff and Mete Out Punishment
CONFESSES HIS CRIME AND SCREAMS FOR MERCY
Officials Pleadngs With Jail SOrmers to Allow Law to
Take its Course, Fall On Deaf Ears Of Determined
Hordes.

Tyler, Texas, May 25.-In the pres
ence of more than two thousand in
furiated people, including men, wo-
men and children OF all ages, Dan
Davis, a twenty-one year old negro
was this morning burned at the stake
here for having committed a most
brutal assault on Miss Carrie Johnson,
highly respected white girl one
week ago. The torch was applied
to the fiend only after he had con-
fessed in detail the assault, which
occurred in a lonely spot where the
black had lain in wait for his victim.
The negro was dragged from the
county Jail after the sheriff had been
forced by the mob of determined citi-
Zens to surrender the keys, under
threat of demolishment of the pris-
on and death to those attempting to
defend the prisoner
An air of bravado was assumed by
the negro as he was being prepared
for the terrible vengeance, until the
flames began to leap up about his
body, when he screamed for mercy.
His pleadings were lost on the hordes,
who were worked up to a state of
fury by his crime that bordered on
maniacal.
After being dragged from his cell,
the negro was taken to the outskirts
of the city where stake had been
prepared for the event. He was tied
securely and the crowd methodically
piled several wagon loads of wood
about the stoical upright figure, satur-
ated it with an ample supply of oil,
touched match to the kindling and
stepped back to watch the flames
reduce the human flesh to bits of
cinder.
The assault, which left Miss john
son in a pitiful physical condition,
caused intense excitement at the time
and preparations were at once made
by the indignant citizens to avenge
her mistreatment and mete out the
most severe punishment to the Grim
inal. A search was at once instituted,
but a capture was not effected for a
few days.
The sheriffs department finally
effected a capture and knowing the
sentiment of the citizens and the alb
solute certainty of a demonstration
against the culprit, the authorities
spirited the prisoner out of the city,
taking him first to Corsicana and lat
er too Athens, where he was held for
safe keeping until it was thought that
the bitter feeling bad subsidized.
He was brought back to the county
Jail in this city last night, in order
to appear for a preliminary hearing
His presence in the Jail became known
early this morning and the news
spread like wild fire. A mob soon
congregated about the prison and

FLAMES DESTROY
SMALL STABLE

Presumably caused by hoboes
sleeping in the building. fire last
night almost completely destroyed
the barn belonging to Mrs. Elizabeth
Smith and located on the south bank
of the Umatilla river about two blocks
from the Main street bridge. The
damage is estimated to amount to
$500 fully covered by insurance.
The alarm was sounded about 10:30
last night and considerable alarm
was felt through the residence sec
tions OF the city when the glare
showed the blaze to be apparently in
the business district. The response of
the fire companies was prompt and
by their hard work they saved the
Pearl Bowman barn which adjoined
the burned structure. Two horses
belonging to Guy O'Connoly, the mail
carrier, were saved but about a ton
OF hay was burned.
While Aubrey Graham, one Of the
firemen, was working on the roof OF
the burning barn, his weight caused
section OF 1t to give way and he was
precipitated below but fortunately
escaped any injury.

fountains being a great expense-re-
ducing factor. Here in glass tanks

Cranston OF the fish and game COM
mission, and 1. W. Wilson, state fish

Gibbon where they will mark a num-
Der Of the steelhead trout placed there
last September and release them. The
principal purpose OF marking these
fish Is to convince sportsmen that the
steelhead trout is merely a seagoing
rainbow. This has been a mooted
question for some time. the state
game authorities contending that q
steelhead and rainbow are one and
the same species. the supposed differ.
entiation coming from the fact thai
those journeying TO the ocean make
a larger growth.

GRAFT INDICTMENTS NIL
Judge LawlOr Dismisses Counts
Against Former Frisco Mayor.

San Francisco, Calf, May 25.-Su-
perior Judge Lawlor today dismissed
twenty-seyen indictments standing
against Former Mayor Eugene E.
Schmitz. These are the last of hun
dreds OF indictments arising from the
graft cases against dozens of former
San Francisco officials and corpor-
alton magnates. The dismissal was
entered on the ground that the cases
had not come to trial within the sixty
days limit, prescribed by law and or
dered by the appellate court in the
cases OF Abe Ruef. Patrick Calhoun
and others indicted by the grand jury
six years ago.
