This claim is justified, and we have
the goods to prove 1t. Our state

the garment, and very much below

ably than to disappoint," and our aim
is to establish a fair standard of val
uation as guide for the public, who
are beset on all sides by reductions
elsewhere, many of which are, 70
say the least, somewhat exaggerated.

Chicago, June 16.-Altho he had
walked SGT miles from his home in
Tonganoxie, Kan, to acquire as his
wife one of the girls Judge Samuel
Harrison, of Evanston, IN, was said
to have on his list, Kirby Merrill, the
unkissed," merely smiled when told
Judge Harrison was out of the city
and started on his stroll back to To-
peka with the remark that he would
drop in some other day"
Yes, SIR he said, 81 just naturally
haven't been kissed since I was a
baby, and what's more I've never
kissed a girl and I'm A years old"
Kirby said he finally got to think
ing that he was IAN old fool and
should have been hitched up long
ago." One day, he said, he read in a
Chicago paper that Judge Harrison had
a half dozen pretty young women fair
ly weeping for husbands. and decided
to call on the judge and see if one of
the fair damsels wouldn't like to stroll
back to Kansas as Mrs. Kirby merrill.
But, unfortunately. the judge is on his
vacation and will not return for
week.
ooh, I can't wait that long" said
Kirby, as he turned and strolled away.
'I'u drop in some other day"

Green. They were circus roustabouts.
All were about % years old. They
were hanged at intervals of eight
minutes.
McGhie was the first victim. A
moose was placed around his neck at
1880 last night He declared he was
innocent and pleaded for mercy. Two
Catholic priests begged the crowd to
let the law take its course.
Priest Pleaded With Mob.
Father F. ]. Howard climbed fifteen
feet up a telegraph pole and under
the dim glare of an arc light prayed
for the crowd to release the negroes.
He was hooted.
three times. The rope broke on the
first two attempts. He begged for
mercy until an imprisoned speech
was cut short by his third ascent.
jackson was the next victim, fol-
lowed by Green. Both declared their
innocence.
Attacking the police station, the
mob hurled bricks and sticks. City
authorities were unable to cope with
the rioters. Eight patrolmen received
minor injuries in defending the six
negro prisoners. The mob first at
tackled the rear entrance of the Jail.
While part of the >lynchers fought
police in the rear, detachment
stormed the front entrance. Both
sides used streams of water in the
battle. Mob members managed to cut
the water supply of the defenders and
the1- secured possession of the jail
Ce;; doors were battered down.
The trial. was held on the second
floor of the police station. Those
found guilty were taken two blocks
from the station to the scene of their
death while the others were returned
to police officers.
Guardsmen on the Job.
When two companies of Minnesota
national guardsmen reached here sat
an early hour after a special train trip
from st. Paul. they found only dam
aged police station and Uttered streets
as visual evidence of the mob's activ-
ity.
Under personal command of State
Adjutant General w. F. Rhinow the
1874 men and six officers went into
temporary camp. preparing to patrol
the streets if necessary to guard
against any eventualities that might
arise as an aftermath of the mob's
mad run. The men are equipped for
riot duty, Capt. w. P. Townsend COM
mands Company H of Fairbault and
Capt. w. A. Miller heads Company I,
of Long Prairie. Available records

ing in Minnesota.
Injuries suffered by eight police
men and a newspaper man in. the
brick bat and fire hose attack on the
police station were said to be trivial
today.
An investigation of the action of
