Lockett was brought here on
special train early morning from
Frankfort. The streets were
crowded with onlookers and hun
dreds of farmers from nearby
counties had gathered to witness
the trial Long before the hour
for the trial the court house was
filled, no one being admitted until
searched for weapons.
The cry of 'Let's get him."
from a brawny farmer in the
crowd which was unable to get
into the court house, started the
unsuccessful lynching party. Sew
eral times the cry was heard
among the members of the mob
and with it the crowd started for
ward
Soldiers and police quickly stepped
into closer formation and trained their
guns on the mob. A final warning
shouted by Gen. DeWeese was unheed-
ed by the mob and he fired his revolv-
er into the air.
This was the signal for general fir
ing. The soldiers and police laid hot
barrage into the mob and when the
mob retreated it was found that 10
had fallen, four of whom were dead,
and fifth dying later from the effect
of his wounds.
1t was believed that blank cartridges
also were used, for, with the rapid fir
ing of machine guhs and the hail of
bullets from the police and soldiers
with rifles it seems only plausible that
many more would have been killed OF
wounded.
At o'clock this afternoon, the spir-
i it of the mob seemed to have been
broken temporarily and the city was
more quiet.
Large crowds still swarm the thor
oughfares, but the looting of pawn
shops had ceased. 1t was generally
known among the crowds that United
States regulars were on their way
here from Camp Taylor.
Within 40 minutes after Lockett

 According to the census figures. Ari- zona has been haying a boom during the past ten years. and not only re- cords the greatest growth in it's his- tory, but leads all the rest of the states of the union with its 63.1 percentage of increase.

 Moreover. the great irrigation works | like the Roosevelt dam and the Yuma project are making the desert lands l blossom and making new opportunity in Arizona which bids fair to continue to attract population at a rate con- sistent with her record of increase from a scattered forty thousand foui decades ago.
