 The eases seemed to be seat tered over the counties without reference to a stream or to a sta ble, and i. is hard to trace the source by which the disease is disease is transmitted"

NEGRO LYNCHED
 IN HOT SPRINGS
After Capture of White Girls As Saulter Make Quick Work of
 Him-NegrOeS Assisted.

Hot Springs, June l9.-Little Gar land Huff, the l4-year-old daugh- ter of Judge and Mrs. C. Floyd Huff, was murdered today, her skull be- ing crushed in five places as she battled off the advances of Will Norman, a 2l-year-old negro ser- want who had been in the employ of the household for about two years.
 After a man hunt, participated in probably by more people than ever secured mountains and valleys any where in search of a fugitive, the negro was captured just before dusk four miles from the city and brought to the city, where he was hung to a pole in the glare of an electric light, his body riddled with bullets as 1t swung above the heads of the crowd, and later cut down and burned half a block from where the negro had been hanged.
 The incidents marked the day of greatest excitement ever known in the history of Hot Springs. The as sault was almost unknown at the noon hour, though committed al most two hours before, but half an hour later, when the story had been told the people by the press in extra editions, crowds began to gather armed in an open manner and the woods were honeycombed with grim Visaged men, determined to find the brute, and silently ac- qulesclng in a general scheme to make short work of him when he was found. Over 1000 people were engaged in the man hunt and lynching.
 Before the negro, who confessed the crime, could be delivered to the officers or placed in jail, a mob composed of hundreds seized him. They dragged him down the main thorouGhfare to one of the princi- pal business corners, a rope was thrown over the cross-arm of a telephone pole and the negro pulled up by many hands. By this time the crowd had swelled to thousands. and as soon as the body swung clear of the heads of the people someone fired a load of buckshot into it, which started it to swaying. This was the signal for a general fusil- ade, and hundreds of bullets soon perforated the body. literally tear ing the clothing from it.
 The body was left hanging for an hour, at which time the night cap tain of police attempted to cut it down and remove it. The mob de- handed the body and took it by force. Repairing a little distance from the scene of the lynching the body was burned.
 No disorder followed the lynch ing. Negroes and whites partici- pated in the man hunt, and in the mob which hung Norman was a large percentage of negroes. An indication of the temper of the crowd was evidenced by the man ner in which, after the lynching. it crowded around the negro convict who handled the bloodhounds dur ing the hunt in an effort to shake
 his hand and commend him for his faithful efforts ,o capture the fu- gitive.
 Within an hour after the lynch
 ing the city was nearly as quiet as usual.

LIFE TERMER INVENTS REVERS'
IBLE STEEL RAIL.

FARGO, N. D., July Friends OF
Peter Olsen, life term prisoner in
the state penitentiary, today laid
plans to secure his pardon. Since be-
ing sent to prison years ago, Olson
has invented a reversible steel rail
which it is claimed will mean an en-
ormous decrease in the number of
accidents caused by broken ails.
Former Warden Hellstrom saw the
value of Olson's idea and promoted a
company which will Immediately be-
gin manufacturing the new rail. Oh
son has been given stock in the COM
pany and the proceeds are being
turned over to his family. 1t is al
legged that the evidence upon which
Olson was convicted was entirely cir
cumstantial.

NO AUTOS IN YELLOWSTONE.
(Pocatello Tribune)

u oSoIOiio
Unless Colonel w. H. Bixby of
Washington, chief engineer for the
United States army. can be induced
to change his mind, there will be no
trial opening of the Yellowstone park
this year for automobiles and other
motor driven vehicles. Colonel Blk
by has placed the stamp of his disa-
prevail on the plan. In a letter TO
Congressman Addison T. Smith of
this state, copy of which has been
transmitted to Mayor Theodore Tur-
ner Of this city, president of tie Ida
no State Automobile association and
chairman of the state highway COM
mission, Colonel Bixby says thu pro-
gress of work in widening and i'm
proving the park roads, as provided
for by $4,000 federal appropria-
tion, has been so slow, and the con-
dition of the roads is such that to
permit autos in the park this year
would be a serious interference
with horse drawn traffic" Colonel
Bixby holds out the alluring program
that with continuing appropriation
for road improvement, it may be
probable to open the park on trial
in 1915.
Colonel Bixby's disapproval of a
trial opening this year comes on top
of favorable action by the secretary
of the interior, by the federal super
intendent of all national parks. by
Colonel Brett, commander of the Vel
lowstone park troops and by all the
members of the Idaho congressional
delegation. s
