LYNCIIING
AT STEELE.
MOB LYNCHES MAN WHO DID
SHOOTING AT DAWSON-RAID
WELL PLANNED

At an early hour last Friday morn
ing mob of between fifteen and
twenty men overpowered Sheriff Fill
bin at the courthouse at Steele, N. D.,
and took George w. Baker from the
jail to the stock yards near the city
and hanged him to the cross arm over
the gate of the entrance. Baker is the
man who few days previous had Kill
led his wife and her father.
The plot for the lynching was evil
IDENTIFY well planned as the sheriff re-
ports that it was only three minutes
from the time the first blow was
struck at the Jail until the lynchers
had their victim and were on their
way to the yards. The sheriff made
every effort to stop the work Of the
mob but they were amred and deter
mined and the sheriff was entirely
single handed, as guard who had
been on duty had gone home.
Every members Of the mob was
masked with a white handkerchief.
When Baker had been strung up there
were a number of shots fired, and an
examination Of the body showed that
he had been shot at least ten times.
The condition of his face shows that
he was dragged from the courthouse
to the scene Of the lynching as dirt
and grit was ground into the skin,
making the features unrecognizable.
Baker was in Jail waiting trial for
the murder Of his wife and her father
at Dawson Oct. 80. He had come from
California and comitted the crime
within an hour after reaching town.
and from every indication the crime
was one Of the most cold-blooedd af-
fairs in the history Of the state, Baker
having killed both the man and the
woman and then fired several bullets
into their bodies after they were cold
in death.
All that prevented lynching on the
day of the murder was the fact that
the prisoner was spirited out Of town
early ia the morning before the most
Of the citizens became aware Of the
fact that the crime had been commit
ted. It is stated here that there were
none of the residents Of Steele con-
cerned in the affair but that all were
outsiders and it is stated that some
were from Dawson and some from
jamestown where relatives Of the
murdered woman live.
Janitor Murray, who was in the
building at the time the mob cook
possession stated that there was no
chance to overcome the determination
of the members. He saw Baker when
ne was going down stairs and said a
rope was around his neck. Baker kept
his feet until the bottom of the stairs
was reached and then fell and was
dragged on his face for three blocks
to the stock yards.
AS soon as the mob had left the
building the sheriff called up the tele-
phone operator and told her to notify
as many as possible that Baker had
been taken from the building and for
her to call all the assistance she could
get. The sheriff the coroner and a
foxr, o+har oi+i1opc uyopf fo tho cfock
yards and cut down the body about 2
o'clock in the morning and guard
was established until daylight when
the body was taken to the court house
and an inquest was held.
There have been no arrests made
and the authorities will not give out
and information as to whether or not
there will be,
