Ewing took the mare to Twin
Falls and sold it to Smith.
After the sale the wagon COM
pany ordered its mortgage fore
closed and the sheriff to sell the
animal. Smith filed action in
court and secured an injunction
restraining the plaintiffs from
disposing Of or interfering with
the property. An appeal from
the decision was taken. The
supreme court finds that as there
was no proof that the property
was in Utah when mortgaged the
doctrine of comfy between
states does not hold.

st. Louis. July 3.-In the jail at
East St Louis. 500 ringleaders Of the
mobs that battled. lynched and shot
armed negroes yesterday and last
night are prisoners and the edge is
taken from the mob spirit. Soldiers
are being rushed here and with bay
onets are clearing the streets. The
fires that brought millions of dollars
in losses are believed under control.
Through the smoking ruins the Khaki
clad boys are prodding here. there and
everywhere. finding bodies Of the
blacks. charred and burned in the
flames OF their own homes. Perhaps
the total dead will never be known.
but 1t may reach $50 and might even
go higher.
The hospitals are crowded with shot
and burned negroes. Negro women
with babes are there. Medical assist
ance asked for has arrived. 1t is
thought by tonight all signs Of the riot
will be over and quiet restored
The mobs in East st. Louis were
swelled by hundreds of people who
early III lue evening CEObocu liNoh
from st. Louis. Mo. This added such
a menace to the situation that at $50
o'clock the bridges were closed to all
vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Five negro sections Of the city were
fired by mobs, terrorized negroes fled
from the burning homes only to meet
bullets from the guns OF the rioters;
four other negroes were shot by snip
ers and two were lynched.
One white man was killed by a me-
gro sniper and before the burning be-
gan four negroes and one white man
were killed. This includes the detec-
tive sergeant whose death at the
hands OF a negro mob was the direct
cause OF the outbreak.
Estimates of the number Of dead
run up to $50 and higher. but these
estimates are purely conjectural. The
exact number slaughtered probably
will never be known. as 1t is thought
that many bodies were consumed in
the flames.
Adjt. Gen. Frank s. Dickson arrived
and took charge Of the situation. He
said troops would be distributed in
small groups throughout the city and
that they would be instructed to dis
Perse every gathering OF persons for
any purpose whatever.

What Did He Mean2

Until three o'clock this afternoon
Warden Hanley of the TOmbs prison
was perfectly contented warden, says
u New York correspondent. He had
been told twice during the morning
that man with II frock coat and n
silk hat had called to see him, and rs
the man was to return ut three o'clock,
Mr.. Hanley cut short his tour of the
prison and returned to his office. He
found that the caller had called, fumed
and finally left this note: "Thirty
years ago my father, who was of me-
dium height and undoubtedly punctual,
was employed as n heat denunciator In
a metal mill in Pittsburgh. For years.
or ut least for considerable time, he
told no one. However, 1t was common
rumor. Now, after all these years,
does 1t seem that man would delib
erately take any such action? What
would be his motive? / ask you as
a humanitarian to discuss this with no
one. Merely use it for your own infor
nation and proceed likewise. l leave
for Pittsburgh at four o'clock. but trust
you implicitly.-A Friend" At n late
hour Warden Hanley, having read the
note through % times, was reading 1t
through for the ninety-third time.
