‘ AN IOWA LYNCHING. | Tne Boody Deed of John Frazier} Pomptly Avenged by a Mob ot Miners. Otumwa, Io., March 22.—One of the nost cold-blooded murders that! everoccurred in this section was} comitted this morning at Hiteman, | resting in the death of Mrs Harry Sm of Hiteman, and the probable | fate wounding of her baby and her} sist, the wife of the dastardly wrch who committed the awful je. The terrible tragedy was committed at Hiteman. a mining town of 250 population. Hiteman is situated in Monroe county and is five miles southwest of Albia and about 30 miles from this city. Lewis Frazier, the murderer, lived in Carbondale, another mining town situated in Mahaska county, five miles from Hiteman. It seems that Mrs. Frazier had left her husband because of his ill treatment of her, and had gone to live with her sister, Mrs. Smith at Hiteman, where her husband is employed in the mines at that place. This morning about 10 o'clock while Mr. Smith was at work in the mine Frazier came to Hiteman and went to Smith’s house. He called for his wife and tried to get her to go home with him, which she refused todo. A scene ensued. Frazier drew aknife and stabbed his wife, Mrs. Smith and also a little baby, which she was holding in her arms. Mrs. Smith died within a few hours and Mrs. Frazier and the baby are both dangerously wounded. Immediately after committing the terrible crime Frazier left the house going south through the timber for a mile or so, and then turned west. The news of the terrible tragedy spread rapidly, and in a very few minutes large numbers of infuriated eitizens gathered and started in pur- suit of the murderer. The greatest excitement prevailed. The people fairly went wild. In a short time a party was formed and the mad dened mob started on its mission. Frazier was found at Cummings’ Crossing near the Cedar mines, about two miles west of Albia on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail road. Deputy Sheriff Joe Lewis of Albia, who was also in pursuit of the mur- derer, took charge of him and took him in his buggy for the purpose of taking him to Albia. With the as sistance of a few of the cooler men the officer endeavored to get the prisoner away toa place of safety. The excited mob only grew more furious and, seizing the frightened and cowering murderer, they took him away trom the officer and took him back to Hiteman to the house where the terrible crime was com- mitted A rope was secured and placed around his neck, and he was hanged to a tree near where one of the vic- tims of his murderous knife was ly- ing dead and the other two in a dying condition. The body was left hanging to the tree. A terrible crime had been terriblyavenged and the infuriated mob became calm, dis- persing one after aucther to their homes. Deputy Sheriff Lewis took charge of the remains and the coroner was sent for. It was one of the most monstrous and cold blooded mur-} ders ever committed in Iowa and the anger of the people of Hiteman knew no bounds. Business was sus- pended and work was stopped for the day. Mary Belle Freeley says that the emblem of the World’s Fair woman's building should be an apple and she adds: But for Eve the men would be to this day, I suppose, idle naked, sun burned loafers, like Adam, no better than the beasts, serpents and the insects. But she courageously took the apple, rescued the world something. ed, ‘‘don’t take on that way. Then the Sun Shone. Detroit Free Press.

They Must Earn Their Pay. It has become plain to the em- ployes of the government that it is the intention of members of the ad- ministration to give the various de- partments a thorough cleaning and to set the stump-pullers and scythes to work as speedily as possible. Yes terday’s conversation between a chief and his subordinate is an in stance in point. “Who is this Mrs. Soand So? I see by the rolls that she has been drawing an annual salary of $1,800 for five years.” “She is not here much of the time ~ “What does she do?” “She dresses nicely.” “Why is she not discharged?” “We would have a row on hand.
