They are under the ban of the vigilance committee now, however, and will probably soon in- cur its penalty. One of the men lynched was a no- torious criminal, for whom, it is said numereus rewards have been offered by Kansas people and authorities. He went under the name of Dandy Hook, but had a score of aliases.

After waiting about half an hour longer Mike was again low- ered to the bottom, but again said he could not stand the atmosphere of the well and gave the signal to be raised. When in about ten feet of the top he called to McClimens to hurry that he was suffocating and immediately thereafter fell from the rope back to the bottom of the well. Mr. Caton and Matt Gray who were near by were called to the well, and, after a few moments study it was de- cided to let Mc. down into the well after Mason. Mc. however objected to being tied, but being lowered tied the rope around Mason’s feet and getting hold of the rope him- self Gray and Caton proceeded to draw them out. On nearing the top of the well McClimens became un- conscious and fell to the bottom, but Mason was drawn safely out, and by the application of water was brought to himself. In the mean- time Mr. Gray threw some water down on McClimens which also re- vived him and acting under the ad- vice of Caton and Gray he reluctant- ly placed the rope around his body and was pulled to the top. The fall however, injured him considerably, breaking some bones and otherwise bruising him. Both gentlemen have been in bed ever since but are im- proving rapidly, Mason having near- ly recovered.—Foster News.

S. J. Beattie, wholesale and retail dealer in gro- ceries and liquors suffered a heavy loss and only saved about one-third of the groeery stock and succeeded in securing his books and valuable papers. The house adjoining him, occupied by John Eagy, harness and saddler, was saved and his loss was small. The six horses left in Dehn- am’s barn, after the first fire, could not be taken out and perished. One of them, owned by A. Martin, was a fine blooded horse, valued at $1,700. Postweiler’s furniture house with all its goods was completely destroy- ed, as was also a warehouse north of | 2s it, filled with second hand furniture | ° belonging to F. X. Runnenburger. The following are the losses: T. ings $7,000, insurance $2,500; D. K. Hall on second hand store building about $400, insurance not known; F. X. Runnenburger, furniture about 2350; S. J.
