RUN OUT 100 men
Trego County Expelling Mob That
Raided Jail.

Wakeeney, Kan, July 1o.-More
than one hundred men were being
driven out of this co MY by a
posse of citizens and deputy sher-
ifs after they had forced the aTrego
county jail here last night and re-
leased several of their companions
who had been incarcerated on
charges of carrying concealed weap-
ons.
Reports here were that two men
had been accidentally shot while the
posse. which was organized by the
county sheriff, was at its work. It is
not known whether the wounded men
were members of the posse.
The Jail was forced at o'clock in
the morning by mob estimated at $50
persons, and Earl Lake, who had been
sentenced to serve ten days in Jail
yesterday for having carried con
weapons, was released. The county
seriff was locked in the Jail by the
mob, but deputy and the county
marshal escaped and spread the
alarm. Shortly afterwards seventy
five citizens came to the Jail and were
sworn in by the sheriff as deputies.
With other officers they Immediately
began to capture the mob members
under orders from the sheriff and to
expel them from the county.
The posse caught up with the mob
about five miles east of here and a
fight was threatened. revolver was
eidentally discharged and two men,
members of the mob, were wounded.
The posse was then augmented by ad-
ditional citizens and all signs of trou-
BILE ceased. Most of the mob members
were placed on an east bound train at
Ogallah, east of here.
Two prisoners who were released
by the mob in the night were recap
tured and a man said to have been
the leader is in Jail here. Members
of the mob threatened, as they were
placed on the train, in return. The
posse is still on guard here.

SISTER SUPPOSED
DEAD FOR AZ YRS.

Rock Island, Ill, July 10.-Forty-
two years ago, when she was years
old, Gusta Nowack went to the home
of a neighboring woman to remain
with her for a few days during the alb
sence of her husband. That was the
last seen or heard of the child, who
had long been given up for dead, until
today, when her brother, John No.
wack. Of this city, received a letter
from her from st. Joseph, Mo, where
she resided. She is now Mrs. George

during the day was recorded at the
weather bureau, where five miles an
hour breeze, blowing from the east,
was discovered. On the street no
sign of a wind could be detected.
While the mercury is slowly climb

the record set July 9, 1901 when the
government thermometer registered
101 degrees. For more than nineteen
consecutive days during July of that
year, the temperature failed to fall

To Carry Back Valuable Papers.
New York, July 1O.-The arrival at
an American port of a German sub
marine and the possibility of estab-
fishing a carrier service between the
United States and the biockaded Teu-
tonic nations has aroused particular
interest here among persons who have
suffered from their inability to send
Germany and Austria Hungary money
and legal documents. 1t was said to-
day that if tho submarine returns
home she will carry an important
consignment of bank drafts and legal
papers of various kinds.
Ordinarily $150.00O.000 a year is
sent from this country to Austria-Hun-
gary but with the war this fell off to
SIS, 100000. OF late it has become in
creasingly difficult to transmit funds
between the United States and central
powers.
The settlement of at least a dozen
estates now in the surrogate's court
here has been held up because it was
impossible to send or receive the nee
essary legal documents to or from the
cities of the central powers. Mort
cages have been foreciosed because it
was impossible to obtain the interest
due from holders in Germany and
Austria Hungary. This effect of the
blockade has been felt in all the cities
e the United States where there is a
large Teutonic population.
William J. Matheson, president of
the Cassellor company, one of the
companies to which the dyes aboard
the Deutchland are consigned, esti-
mated the dyes were worth between
$4,000 and $4,000 ton.

country, and the report that a large
band of Villistas is headed that way,
has caused General Funston to plan
the disposition of most of the ma
tional guardsnen in that region. The
Big Bend country presents great diff
ficulties to the maintenance of an
army, as each town must be reached
by motor trucks from the railroad,
necessitating the use of hundreds of
trucks.
Funston Meets Old Friends.
Captain Abbott reported to Funston
from Boquillas, Tex, that Austin and
Roy Swasey, and N. o. Knight, the
International Mining company en-
ployes who escaped into the brush
when their truck train was attacked
by bandits near Boquillas, Mexico, had
telephoned from the Mexican side
that they were safe and would make
their way back to the mines.
Funston remained at one of the rail-
way stations until late last night to
greet some of the officers of the First
Kansas infantry, who were en- route
to Laredo. They were men who had
served him in the Twentieth Kansas
during the Cuban and Philippine
campaigns. Militia passing here yes
terday included the First battalion of
the New York signal corps, en- route
to Brownsville, and the Second, Third
and Fourth Maryland infantry, bound
for Eagle Pass.
