SLAYER OF THREE
LYNcHED BY MOB
Frank Culbertson Strung Up
at WilliSton, n. D.
UNDER LIFE SENTENCE
Victim of Popular Vengeance Was Re-
Gently Convicted of Triple Murder
and Special Guards Had Been Placed
About the Jail for His Protection.

Williston, N. d., Dec. 17.-Frank
Culbertson, recently convicted of the
murder of three members of the Dill
Ion family on farm north of here,
was lynched by mob who broke into
the Jail.
Sheriff Erickson of Williams coun-
ty wakened by the shouts of the mob
when they began battering the front
door of the Jail with a water main,
locked himself in the cell with the
prisoner, denying admission to the
crowd.
When the sheriff attempted to de-
fend his prisoner by pulling his re-
volver he was instantly covered by a
dozen revolyers and rifles and the
mob completed its task of breaking
into the cell to the prisoner.
Culbertson cried for mercy, but was
dragged out into the open. A rope
was placed about his neck. Several
men, holding the other end, leaped
into an automobile and for a mile and
half Culbertson, pleading every step
of the way for his life, was partly
dragged and partly walked to the
bridge from which he was swung.
Culbertson, who was the former
husband of Mrs. Dillon, went to the
farm and applied for work. When
Dillon went to the barn to do the
chores Culbertson shot his former
wife and his fourteen.year-old daugh
ter. He then started for the barn and
meeting Dillon half way shot him.
Dillon was found dying the next day
by farmer. He lived only a short
time. Culbertson was captured in q
small town a short distance from here
Feeling against Culbertson ran higt
and when he was convicted of first de
gree murder special guards were
placed around the jail to prevent 6
possible lynching.

PECULIAR PRAYER TO COURT
Error ot Stenographer Responsible for a Few Mere Gray Hairs in
 Head of Lawyer.

"They say that lawyer has been saved by his stenographer," said an attorney, at a recent lecture. That is true, undoubtedly, because a law yer's atenographer, Whc is observing, gets many points of law out of her work.
 But there is another side to it that must not be overlooked, and that is the mistakes that lawyers stenog- rapher makes. The law terms are so technical that it is not within reason to expect the stenographer to get ev eryth!ng exactly right.
 "One of the most amusing errors that I have ever heard of in connec lion with stenographic errors, if I may call it that, occurred in a certain law office the other day. The case was divorce action, in which the plaintiff alleged cruel and inhumap treatment
 Plaintiff, being woman with all the common law disabilities. prayed the court for temporary alin1ony and suit money. The prayer was dictated 10 the stenographer, and she wrote 1t out and mailed it to the court.
 Shortly afterward, the lawyer chanccd tc read a copy and found to his horror that the stenogra rher had made the prayer one for alimony and soup mOney.'

BLIND MAYS SIGHT RESTORED

The French Academy of Sciences an- nounces the success of an operation on blind man, performed seven months ago and watched carefully ever since a
 A workman had an eye burned by quicklime, so that the cornea had be- come opaque. It mas long been the dream of scientists to transplant the cornea from animals to man, but so far this has been tried without success.
 This transparent cornea is one of the most delicate parts of the human organism. Very soon after death, or after the removal of the eye from living person, for that matter, it be- comes opaque and begins to break up
 But M. Magitot has found a way to preserve it's transparency In the case in question it had been &ept a week before a piece of it was fitted into the depression made by removing quar- ter-inch square section of the cornea of the blind mans eye.
 Now. after seven months observa- ton by the surgeon, the eye is pro- nounced well, and he can see with it -dim.y, it is true, but still he sees.

 Don't you know?" answered Mr. Bobbs, enthusiastically. Why, that is a handy match receiver, made by Mrs, Bobhs. I scratch a match and use it. It must not be thrown on the foor--there is the receiver. Holding the burnt match carefully in my flfi- gers, move the piano away from the wall to the center of the room. Then go down in the basement and get the stepladder. I place the stepladder against the wall, mount it, deposit the match in the receiver, climb down again. then return the stepladder &fStK Kel basement, come back and move Mo piano into it's former position There's nothing like having these handy things about the house.

HOW ROMAN WENT coURT|NG
Prospective Wife Had Nothing to Do E, With the Match, Though Ao- s,:i corded High Position.

%ssWhen a, boy had completed his studies aud had reached; the. age of perhaps ,tWellty-tfiyle or thirty, it was his duty toa marry: After deciding upon a lady whom he thought suitable to be his wife he arranged the be- throthal with her father, as the maid en was usually too young to be con- Roman women were always under guardianship. The marriage cere- monies began with the feast and sac rifices in the house of the brides ia ther.
 In the evening a procession of youths, torch-bearers, musicians and guests escorted the bride to her fu ture home, where the groom carefully lifted her over the threshold, as it was an i'll omen for her to touch the sill with her foot. In case the we'd ding was of the ancient sacred form termed confarreatio, the newly mar ried pair, after entering the house, ate together a sacred cake in the pres. ence of ten witnesses and of the chief pontiff anl priest of Jupiter. The ceremonien of the evening ended with a bridal song by the guests, and on the following day the husband gave a marriage feast to his friends.
 Though early custom placed the wife in the power of her husband, she went freely into society, attended the theaters and public games, taught her children, and sometimes aided her husband in his political career. Her position as mistress of the household commanded respect from government and society.-Exchange.

Cooley, of Chicago, special investigator of vo- cational education. These schools, says MT. Cooley, must not be regard ed as substitutes for the present schools, which are doing satisfactor-

TRACE ALPHABET FAR BACK
Belief That 1t Had It's Origin With the Phoenicians Proved to Be --5
 Wrong One. .,. :. !i.i

In lecture at the Royal institute Prof. Flinders Pietrie attacked the long accepted theory that the origin of the alphabet is to be found ill Phoeni cia, whence it came from Egyptian hieroglyphics. :s.... ,...}ta
 According to Professor Petrie, the researches of the last twenty years have shown that signs were earlier than pictures and that it was the sign that survived to become the alpha and beta of one civilization and the A B c of another
 Just as the philologist had discov- cred one entire system of languages. In the diversity of alphabets an orig inal prototype of ali. In Professor Petries words, "The Phoenicians are people of yesterday compared with those who wrote the signs that are the origin of all alphabets."
 It was. to pottery, said the profess sor, that Psychologists and others were indebted for these signs, and their development was worked out on these lines. Flatnose made pot and put mark on it to show that it was his. In time. because it was his mark. the sign stood for Flatnose himself. and then the sign became attached to sound irrespective of the thing it. self. Gradually the wearing down went on until the sign stood, not for a sound, but syllable, and then for a letter.
 The signs, of course, were not an alphabet; tlrt did not arrive until perhaps 1000 B. C., whereas signs were found in early prehistoric Egypt, probably 1000 B. c. Proofs of this common origin were plentiful, for the signs spread by trade far north and south, and appeared similarly in Runic, Iberian and Karian, and yet were unknown in Phoenician.
