A NORTHERN MOB
LYNCRES A PRISONER
JAIL DOORS ARE BATTERED
DOWN AFTER THE SHERIFF
is OVERPOWERED.

OLATHE, Kan.-Bert Dudley, un-
der conviction for the murder of
Henry Muller, an aged German, and
his wife, was taken from the johnson
county Jail here early Thursday by a
masked mob and hanged to tele-
phone pole. The mob came to
Olathe in motor cars, supposedly
from near Stillwell, where Muller had
lived. Sheriff Lon Carroll refused to
give up Dudley and the mob over
powered him. They then battered
down three Jail doors. Several shots
were fired, but none was injured.
The murder of which Dudley was
convicted last Tuesday was commit
southeast of here, August 20. Dud-
ley, who was an ex-convict, was en-
ployed as farm hand and killed
Muller because of an alteration over
a team of mules which he wished to
borrow to do some road work. Mrs.
Muller was killed when she asked
Dudley what had become of her hus-
band. The crime was not discovered
for several days. Dudley, after hav-
ing hid the bodies in an abandoned
cellar, lived at the Muller home with
boy whom he had hired to aid in
the farm work. When he endeav-
ored to sell load of wheat from the
farm an investigation was started
that led to the discovery of the muir
der.
The jury which convicted him was
out only fifteen minutes.
The mob was we'll organized and
apparently led by one man. 1t came
into Olathe quietly, the lights of the
dozen motor cars dimmed by coats
thrown over them and the license tags
removed. One man went to the jail
first and called Sheriff Carroll out of
bed with the story that man had
been hurt in a motor car accident.
As he came downstairs he was seized
from behind. He fired two or three
times with his revolver, but was over
powered and his hands were tied.
Mrs Carroll, the sheriff's wife, ran
out of the back door of the jail with
the keys and threw them into the
grass. Members of the mob, unable
to find the keys, broke into garage
opposite the Jail and began battering
down the doors. three of which sep
arated them from Dudley. Carroll
was taken into the jail by the mob
and was a silent witness of the work.

FIRE SCREEN OF
CONFEDERATE BILLS
PLACED IN STATE CAPITOL. IN
CLUDES $50, 900, FORTUNE OF
UNCLE JEP STEVENS. i

ATLANTA.-There is a deep,
touch of pathos surrounding a little
exhibit prepared by Ernest Adamson
to be placed in the rotunda of the
state capital The object is an old
fashioned fire screen made of Con-
federate money. 1t represents a bit
of patriotism than which there was
none greater in those days when the
confederate government was prepar-
ing for war, all of one mans accumu-
lations, the limitlessness of his love
for the Southland-and behind that
is the story of his poverty in the ex-
IRENE winter of his life.
Supposed Value of $4,000.
The money in the screen was once
supposed to have a value of $50, OO0-
1t has no value to-day beyond a senti-
ment and whatever it is worth as
curiosity. But it is a silent tribute
to "Uncle Jep" Stevens patriotism.
Back in fifty-nine and sixty
"Uncle Jep" Stevens, an Octogen
arian democrat of Heard county, was
accounted a rich man. In those days
an accumulation of $4,000 was lots
of money. He had accumulated that
much and was living a life of ease
and comfort, though rich man. He
loved his country; was a Southerner
of the old school. When the Confed-
crate states We're confronted with the
hloVsa avH
making to equip an army; when the
men of the land were called upon to
give of their earthly goods, "Uncle
Jep" turned over to the government
as his contribution, all of his fortune.
1t was real money, the kind needed
at the moment. Soon he was given
to stand in its place $4,000 worth Of
Confederate notes, and he stored
them away.
uncle Jep' Volunteers.
When the call to arms was sounded
"Uncle Jep" volunteered. He got
into the fighting among the first and
served through the war. When ne
returned to his home at the end of
those four years his Southland was
| shattered, his government gone and
the country he loved so well was a
waste.
"Uncle Jep" wept over those Con-
federate bills he had, but he loved
them. They had made of the former
rich man a man of no means at all
but still, in his then poverty, loved
his Southland and his Lost Cause.
The worthless paper he possessed rep
resenting all of his former fortune
'Uncle Jep" finally decided to put in
form in which he could set upon tbs
hearthstone of the family, and with
them he made a fire screen" He
kept it as a family heritage and still
owns it

HUNG "MURDEROUS MARY"
HAD KILLED EIGHT MEN
Big Elephant Heading Heard of
Sparks Circus Condemned and
Put to Death.

Condemned as having forfeited her
right to live, "Murderous Mary" the
big female elephant heading the herd
with Sparks circus, was recently put
to death at Erwin, Tenn, by order of
the state authorities.
Having none of the quick poisons
at hand the showmen chose to hang
the beast. A derrick railroad car
was used as a scaffold. Heavy chains
were Topped about the elephants
neck and the steam-operated crane
lifted the massive form in the air.
Mary struggled for some time, but
death finally resulted from strangula-
ton.
The showmen admitted that the an
imal had just slain her eighth man,
the last victim being Walter Eldridge,
Virginian, who was gored to death
at Kingsport, Tenn. The circus man
agement valued Mary at $4,000.

editorial writer, a clergyman, or a
public speaker, who doesn't travel and

becomes stale, his line of work falls
into rut, and his horizon is soon
limited to his own narrow circle. Gen
orally country editors cannot afford to
travel extensively and too many of
them are inclined to hive themselves
up with a few books and petty inter
ests. 1t ought to be rule of the game
that they should spend fair share of
their time away from home. The
freshness, yigor and variety of their
writings would be enough greater to
warrant the effort.
