MILLER Danville, III., July 25. A race war broke out here tonight. While a mob of 600 men was on its way to the county jail to lynch James Wilson, a Blooming ton negro, who bad confessed to assault ing Mrs. Thomas Burgess, wife of a farmer, an unknown negro shot and killed Henry Uatterman, white, a mem ber of the mob. The murderous negro, a reiugee from Evansville, Ind., by the name of J. W. Hay field, was later taken from the city jail and lynched by the mob, and three other negroes who at tacked the whites were beaten badly. The mob finally resumed its march to the county jail, determined to lynch Wilson. When the mob reached the jail, it was fired upon by the sheriff. Nine persons were wounded and the crowd scattered . The wounded: Adam Murry, shot through the head, will die ; H. Hinea, shot in neck and Bhoulder, will dii ; Otto Heinke, shot ' arm, will recover; Patrolman Charles Lopp, clubbed on the head while defending Mayfield; Patrolman William Leverenz, badly injured internally by mob's bat tering tain while defending Mayfiild; Fred Lorenz, shot three times in the leg i attack on jail; Mince Mobaker, shot in attack on jail ; M.-. Laid, shot in attack on jail j John Bell, shot in chest in attack on jail . Mayfield met his fate while the mob was on the way to lvuch Wilson. The angry throng was passing down East Main street when the negro became in volved in an altercation with some of its members. They started after him and he drew a revolver, firing into the crowd. OFFICERS TRY TO SAVE NEGRO. Henry Getterman, a young butcher, ell mortally wounded and expired with in a lew minutes. The negro flV, but was caught by officers within a block of the scene, and hurried to the police sta tion with the mob in hot put suit, tem 'porarily diverted from their march to the county jail. The officers, with their prisoner, took refuge in the ci y building, barricading themselves bebind the doors of one of the offices. They could not check the mob, however, for it secured a long pole and b-ttered down a section of th wall and the door, both of which were frail. On account of the overwhelmii g num bers of the mou, it was useless tor the officers to resist. The negro was seized and rushed to the spot where he had shot down Getterman.

Dimic, and few men who had more warm personal friends. Born in Boone county, Illinois, in September 1850, he crossed the plains in an ox team with his parents at the age of 7 years, encounter ing many hardships in the trip, which required six months. la speaking of his early life m a letter recently pu una li ed in the Courier, he had the following to say: "Nothingoccurred in my pio neer life as a boy worth noticing until I was 18 years of age. This being a new country everything was "wide open," so to speak. Whiskey was cheap and sold, or more properly speaking, was given away at every town or trading post ATTORNEY AT LAW O. D.

The Willamette Valley Chautauqua Association closed its tenth annual ses ion laBt Sundav evening. The meeting has been one of the most, if not quite the most successful, in the history of the Association, As was predicted, Satur day night's meeting saw the largest crowd inside the inclosure of the meet ing. The auditorium was more than packed... Hundreds stood up on the out side listening to the words of the eloqu ent Misfeurian, Champ Clark, while hundreds more were unable to even get within the Sound ef his voice. It is estimated that fully five thousand eople heard his speech. Three or four iindred Portland people occupied the rostrum, among them being many for mer Missounans. None of them were disappointed in his speech. All went away convinced that Clark was even a bigger man than they had Deiore oe leived. The firewoiks after the speech furnished an innovation that proved quite attractive. T- .1 11-- . 1 U. 1 - mAn . An. r inanciaiiy, u viiwuuu wno u- cided success.

The campers began to strike their tents Saturday ight. and Monday the 230 tents which dotted the grounds have dinanneared. It is said that the ground will be considerably improved hefore another meeting is held. The Southern Pacific Railroad Com pany handled the large crowd without au accident or incident r riaay uigm,, and Saturday night however, they be. came fearful of train robberc, becae.se of rh manv holduDS in this vicinity and Portland, and placed an armd guard ou their late trains.

After going a short distance, however, the mob changed its mind, faced about, and returning to the scene of the lynch ing, cut Mayfield's body down. They rushed it to the principal square, built a bonfire, and hacking the body to pieces with knives, pitched it in the midBt of the flames. For a while they watched it burn, and then coming to a realizaa tion of their first missioa to lynch Wil son, they once mote resumed their march to the county jail.

BIS POLITICAL CAREER. Before the breaking out of the Civil War, Mr. Dimick was a Free State Democrat, but at its close he alligned himself with the Republican party. In 188b be was elected to the state senate by that party and took bis seat a a republican. Later he became a demo crat and bis reaeona for so doing are better told by himself than by any one else. Heeayf "For years I have wit nessed the leaders of the Republican party steering away fiom ancient land marks, gnoring and trampling under foot the traditions and principals that gave it its standing among the common people, and, finally, when the dear old name was all that was left me to fight for, taw the leaders of the party ear render it to be used as a football by the Shylocks, boodlers, corporation and trusts. With a tear for the past and a determination to do right for the future, I save my voice and my vote for Hon. William Jennings Bryan and the prin ciples "of the National Democratic party. , In 1900 he was the unanimous choice of tne Marion County Democracy for Legislative honors and again in 1902, and while defeated no sling or trace of 'dis honor was left to besmirch hie career.
