Richmond, Mo, Noy. 22 —At two o'clock yesterday morning a mob, estimated at from 100 to 300 men, surrounded and quietly entered the Ray county jail, and demanded of Sheriff Holman the keys to the cell room, saying they intended lynching Jesse Winner and Lon Lackey, who are in jail on the charge of murder icg Mrs Winner and her two child- ren October 26. The mob was in the jail before the sheriff knew of their presence. Some of them start ed up the stairway to get the keys from Sheriff Holman, but were met at the top by Mre. Holman, who, with a loaded revolver, warned them not to come further. The mob which was unorganized and had no leader soon rave way before the determined woman, left the house without mak ing any effort to break into the cell room Most of the the men in mob were heavily armed, carrying gune, and all weremasked Winmerand Lackey knew nothing of the mob’s presence until this morning. No new evidence has been found ;to connect Winner and Lackey with the crime, and the fear of shedding innocent men’s blood, perhaps, pre- vented the mob from taking the men from the jail. The members of the mob came from the section in which the murders were committed, and the people in town did not know they were here until this morning. | No further trouble is looked for to-| night. | Banker To Go To Prison, | Chicago, Ill, Nov. 23 —Ex-banker | | Anthony Kozel, who failed last May | jfor $100,0C0, admitted to day tiat| he was guilty of crime in the hand.-! ling of the back’s funds and was | surrendered by his bondsmen.

About 5:30 o'clock yes- terday evening they were arrested for disorder and taken tothe city jail. Some time during the night—sup- pored to have been after midnight— they made a fire on the floor of the jail, which was a wooden structure. Apparently they lit it to warm themselves, and the result this morning is told by their charred bodies. Some persons advance the theory that they made the fire for warmth, while others seem t« think they were attempting to burn their way to lib- erty 23 The bodies were lying in ene cor- ner of the building, locked in each other's arms as though they had me‘ the fearful death with as brave hearts as men situated as they were could.
