MILLEDGEVLLE, Ca, Aug. IL
Five members of the mob who TOOK
Leo M. Frank from the state prison
farm last night went to the home OF
Warden Smith and made him pris-
oner, while others reached the home
of superintendent Burkes and took
him in their custody. Both of the off
Gals were handcuffed.
The mob methodically cut all tele-
graph and telephone wires leading out
of Milledgeville, except one.
The gates of the prison were forced
open, and with Frank in their posses
sion the mob hastened away.
Some time before the news of the
fight became known the offictrs from
Milledgeville started out on the trai
which the mob had left.
The newspaper reporters caught thG
trail and at Little River Bridge, near
Eatonton, it was learned from farmer
that the mob stopped. The crowi
talked loudly and fred many shots.

MILES To SCENE
(By Associated Press)

nearly a hundred miles from the state
prison farm at Milledgeville to a
point almost within sight of the home
of Mary Phagan, the dead girl whom
Frank is alleged to have murdered
Leo NJ. Frank was hanged to a tree
early this morning, without shot be-
ing fired.
The body was found clothed only ia
the prison trousers, and with no shoes.
The shirt of Frank was found about
$50 this morning about two miles
from the scene of the hanging.
1t is thought that the lynching took
place about daybreak this morning.
while officers were searching the coua-
tryside around Milledgeville.
The officers started out on the road
on which they believed the mob to
have travelled and found the body
about one hundred and fifty yards from
the road.
The news spread rapidly, and soon
throngs by the score and hundreds
were going to the scene of the hang
ing.
No efforts have been made to cut the
body of Frank down.

give my life blood for you," is i
phrase which many an ardent youth
has whispered or written to the LADY

23-year-old sailor boy, now in Atlanta,
to actually give a pint of his blood in
order to get money to go and see his
sweet heart.
An Atlanta business man needed q
blood TRANSMISSION operation, and the
young man, anxious to go to see the
girl, who lives out of town, and NOT
having enough money to make the trip,
offered his blood for the TRANSMISSION.

It shows on a large scale all the mining prop. erty immediately surrounding Valdez bay, and gives an accurate location of all the more important claims, from the Gold King, near Columbia glacier, to the Ramsay-Rutherford near the Valdez glacier. The prop erty on Mineral creek is shown, as is the Midas group. now owned by the Granby company.

VALDEZ MINERS
 10 WORK PLACERS
Take Outfit To Dutch Flat and Will SIuice Ground All of Con-
 ing Season.

Carl Hauser and Dan Wilsey left Valdez Saturday for their placer property on Dutch Flat, near Wort mans roadhouse, with an outfit and will continue sluicing as soon as the frost is out of the ground.
 Considerable development work has been done on this property and the owners are confident that it will be a big producer during the coming season.
 Besides an ample supply of provis. ions, sluice boxes were made up here and taken to the property. The close proximity of the mine to Valdez makes it an economical proposition to work, and as there is an ample sup ply of water and a long season in which to sluice there is no doubt that it will add another mine to the pro- ducers around Valdez.

 Charles R Crawford is certainly a genius in anything connected with building, and he has rigged up a miniature piledriver in the hall and is driving a pile under each leg of every billiard and pool table. When the table is once leveled up it remains so in spite of frost upheavals and earthquakes, which so often play havoc with most carefully leveled ta- bies.
