Guard Testified That Mob Appeared Silently and Dlxpcrncd in tlie Same Manner. BIEBER, Cal., June 1. The Coroner's Jury today concluded Its Investigation of the lynching of the Ave men at Lookout, Modoc County, .yesterday morning and rendered a verdict that the men were hanged by unknown parties- The testi mony given by the guards of the prison ers was to the effect that the mob came upon them so .silently that they heard nothing until the door of the office opened. Guru were Immediately pointed at the officers, and the prisoners seized, taken to the bridge and hanged. The mob then dispersed as silently and -as quickly as It had appeared. Thtyull hod burlap sacks over their heads. The prisoners were gagged, and their hands tied behind them, but It appears fhat .Fria'nk Hall freed his hands and began to fight for his life. He was overpowered and dragged on the ground to the bridge. The track made by his body ,vwis-cear,,y-ecn In (he mo.cn Ing, ind a piece' of his shirt was found on a 6harp, projecting rock over which he had been dragged. On arriving at the bridge, the ropes were tied to the rail ing and the bodies thrown over. Their legs wero nof bound. That they had made a hard struggle wa? evident by the deep chafing made by the rope on the railing. It is said they were all dead In three minutes after they were thrown over. In the case of old man Hall the rope was, ?o long that his foot struck on a rock, which mashed his big toes. Five new wagon spokes were found near the hotel, which were evidently used as weapons by the mobr Details of the causes leading to the lynching are its follows. It is said that-" for sesk time past these men had been systematically pilfering, stealing and robbing throughout the entire lower end of Hlg Valley, and that hun dreds of articles in their possession had been Identified as stolen property by the persons from whom they had ben taken. Last Tuesday, May 23, three prom'nent citizens of Lcokout went to Alturas to get tho grand, -.Juryto take some action against these men,'"but Hie grand Jury had adjourned three .hours before the dele gation from Lookout arrived here, and hence rujd da nothing. The three Look out citizens then went to District At torney E. C. Bonner, and asked him to go down and attend to the matter. He replied that he was too busy to go. They thep went to Judge G. F. Harris, of this place, and employed him to take charge of the affair. He agreed to do so If he could get the District Attorney to deputize him for that purpose. He was not able to get the appointment, but instead the Dis trict Attorney appointed C. C. Auble, of Adln, to investigate the matter. Thursday Calvin Hull and his three sons and son-in-law were arrested for petty lai ceny under a warrant issued from the Justice's Court of Lookout, and their hearing or preliminary examination wat' set for Friday. No ball was granted,, and the five prisoners were placed in the cus tody of Messrs. Carpenter. Brown and Sidney Brown, -who were officially des ignated for that purpose. t J. R. Myers, the Justice at the Peace, also keeps a hotel at Lookout, and the Ave prisoners with thejr threo guards were in the office of the -hotel when th,e mob came to seek its prey. The five doomed men had not the slightest suspi cion of the nwful fate about to overtake them, and their three guards were also Ignorant of the terrible tragedy which they would soon be compelled to witness. Calvin Hall, who was 72 years old, was well known in this part of the country, as he had been a constant visitor tq the -county seat. For many years he had been prominently connected with the politics of the county.

Report Went Out That Soldier Had pen KDoped" In Saloon. SAN FRANCISCO, June L A mob pf .soidlera. numbering 500 or-600. Indulged In a riot last night, and wrecked Mrs. Pow - crs saloon, -one of -the many drinking places Just outside the Presidio Reserva tion. There are a great many conflicting sto ries as to the origin of the trouble. The. soldiers of the Forty-sixth Volunteer lp. TTantry were mustered out of the service yesterday and the men given their dis charges and pay. Most of the men d several hundred dollars coming to them, and they did considerable drinking In the Presidio resorts. A map by the name of Morgan, of the Forty-sIth. was fQund unconscious Jn the front of Mrs. Powers saloon. Two of Morgan's company mates took Wm to camp for treatment. The doctor pronounced It a case where drugs had been administered. The news spread rapidly about the camp and oon there were a dozen or more men running to Mrs. Powers' saloon. They demanded repara tion for the drugging of their comrade, but any knowledge of the affair was denied. Two or three former soldiers lounging about in the place sided in with the woman and ordered the sqjdlers from the premises. They went back for reln forcements.njdj spread the report that ..iTfto Qt tLcJr,, qpjrfpanlonj? had been Killed ,D. Wis fcaioQn. ., A. mob, made up of members of the Forty-fifth, and Forty-sixth Regiments then rushed pell mell through (he Presidio gatcfl to the saloon. Stones were gathered on the way, and then the place was stormed. Every window in the place was broken, the bar and fixtures smashed, and the interior demolished completely. The gas Jets, wcre snapped off, and the coal oil lamps overturned. The place caught fire and a. policeman broke through the crowd and rang the fire alarm. By that time the infuriated men were yelling to burn the place, and lsnch the one helpless man, Harris, who had been driven from the place. Officers tried to rush Harris through the crowd, but were stopped. In spite of tho efforts of the police to protect Harris, the soldiers beat and cut him terribly. Finally, when the squadron. pj3aviry and. Provost Guard of 0 mep from -the Forty-fifth Regiment, under commamTof Captain Evans- arrived. a. passage was made through the" crowd and Harris taken to a 6afe place. The efforts of the cavalry and guard to dis perse the crowd were futile until the fire hose was turned on. This and the entire guard of the. post helped to restore order. Mrs. Powers estimated the damage at $2000. Not a thing was left Intact in the BalQQUf A careful investigation of the reports that some of the. soldiers had died from drugged liquor proved that such was not the case. Morgan, of tha Forty-sixth Regiment, was the only roan whom it Is thought might have been the victim of a drug. An investigation of the riot will be made today by the police and military officials.

The purpose of the plant will be the handling and mar keting of Clark County products, and the only consideration asked of the peo ple of the county Is the assurance of at least 75 carloads of fruit from the county this season.
