Go Back to Work.

Rawlins, Wyo., Oct. 2.-Convicts at the
Wyoming state prison lynched to-day
Frank Wigfall, a negro and ex-convict,
who was placed in the institution for safe
keeping late last night. Wigfall was ar
rested at Fort Steele, fifteen miles from
here, on charge Of attacking Mrs.
Esther Higgins. seventy-eight years old,
last Sunday. Mrs. Higgins lived near the
penitentiary and was a favorite with the
prisoners.
A mob made an unsuccessful attempt to
take wigfall from the county jail last
night Fearing that the mob might make
a second assault the officials reported the
matter to Governor Carey at Cheyenne
and were ordered TO transfer the negro
TO the state prison.
Wigfall was placed in a cell on the third
floor. This morning, as the other con-
victs passed the cell on their way to
breakfast, the negro laughed and boosted
about his deed. This incensed the prison.

vengeance.
After breakfast, when $50 convicts were
in the prison yard, about half Of them
started for the dollhouse. They over
powered the keeper, who was transferring
the negro to another cell. and locked him

half hitch was placed around the negro's
neck and he was dropped thirty feet from
the cellaouse balcony. Wigfall's neck was
broken.
The lynching was done in less than five
minutes, and so quietly did the prisoners
work that none but the dollhouse keeper.

Wants Five Other Powers to
Join in Demand for Payment
of Boxer Indemnity.
REBUKE FOR MAKING LOAN
European Governments Be-
lieved to Favor Proposition OF
Forcing China to Pay $780,
000,000-Recent Loan
Under $25,000,000.

Washington, Oct. "A Joint demand
upon China for immediate payment OF ar
rears on the Boxer indemnity, about $780,
600. 600, has been proposed by Russia 70
the other five interested powers 1t is not
denied unofficially that this movement Is
intended as a sharp and forceful rebukc
to the Chinese government for contracting
loans III independent bankers In disrc-
gard OF the warnings of the powers ard
after rejecting the proposed international
loan.
II is said that the European govern
ments are very likely to look with FAVOR
upon the proposition. 1t is by no means
certain, however. that the movement
would proceed to the extent OF fore
closure which would mean the assump-
ton Of the control of Chinese finances by
the powers without regard to the wishes
Of the republic. In fact, one or two OF
the powers already are urging resump-
ton Of the negotiations for the placing
of the great loan Of $3.50. 1000 which were
stopped by the conclusion OF the inde-
pendent loan, and II is believed that, ii
China consented to do this, the powers
would readily agree to grant further ex-
tension of time for final settlement Of the
old claims.
Adyices from the European foreign Of
fees are to the effect that the sum total
of the independent loan recently con-
tracted by China was only about half as
large as was reported-that, in fact, 1t
was less than s25,000,00o, an amount that
will be scarcely more than sufficient 10
meet the demands of the Chinese army
for pay and subsistence and defray the
actual cost Of maintenance of the new
government
Russia has taken the initiative In the
movement to bring pressure to bear upon
China for the reason that the amount
of indemnity due 10 her and unpaid. s25,-
100000, is equal to the total amount of
the indebtedness due to the other five
powers combined. These payments have
been accommodating now for year, and
the powers have RETAINED from demand
ing settlements out OF consideration for
the tremendous travail through which
China has been passing, resulting In the
birth of the new republic.
Now, however. the dealing Of China d.
rectly with Independent bankers has in
spired some Of the six powers with a
fear that the concert is likely TO be dis
solved as the result of the award to some
of them Of special privileges Of exploita-
ton in China
