Into Dangling Body of Victim
Throe (More Will Probably Die.
Pensacola, Fla., July 30. Two men
dead and a score wounded Is the
record of an attempt last night of a
mob to storm the county Jail and to
take out a negro named Leander
Shaw, who 'yesterday assaulted Mrs.
Lillian Davis near here.
The mob numbered probably a
thousand persons and gathered early,
but' there was no apparent Indication
until two hours later that the crowd
which completely surrounded the Jail
contemplated making a rush.
The first indication was when a
railroad iron was brought Into play
by about a dozen men on the iron
gate of the Jail yard. At the same
time the entire mob seemed to catch
the spirit and with yells and curses
dashed for the Jail entrance. Some
climbed over the tall Iron fence, while
others hammered upon the gate.
Shots ExcJianged.
The sheriff with a half a dozen dep
uties stood in the windows upstairs
with drawn revolvers and rifles. The
sheriff pleaded with the mob, at the
same time telling them he would de
fend the prisoner at the cost of every
life present '- His words had no effect
and the moment the first blow was
struck on the gate a volley of shots
flashed from the upper windows of
the Jail. This was answered by the
rowd which poured volley after vol
ley Into the Jail windows, wounding
wo deputies. The mob was momen
tarily driven back with many wound
ed and one dead as a result of the
deadly aim of the sheriff and his dep
uties. At midnight the mob. which
in the meantime had been reinforced
by many residents of the surrounding
country, made another attack on tne
Jail.
Officers Overpowered.
The sheriff and officers were over
powered by men who had crept over
the rear wall and covered them with
rifles and revolvers. Others broke
down the cell door and took Shaw
out
The negro was carried to the center
of the plaza and hanged to an electric
light pole, after which fully 500 shots
were fired into his dangling body.
In the last attack on the Jail H. C.
Kellum, a street car conductor, was
killed, while two deputies and four
or five of the mob were wounded.

11 whitman Farm Scene of Third.
Three threshing machine fires have
already occurred in Umatilla county
this harvest season, and In view of the
amount of smutty wheat this year
other conflagrations are expected.
The first machine to burn was that
of Isaac Christopher, who has a ranch
near dams. The machine was dun
ning at the time and suddenly blew
up. It then caught tire and was al
most totaJly destroyed. Nb jnsur
ance was carried on the outfit
Shortly after the Christopher fire,
Frank Brotherton's machine caught
fire and burned while traveling from
one setting to another. The machine
was near Vanscycle. and the origin
of the fire is a mystery. It was prob
ably due to a spark from the engine
or else carelessness on the part of
some one In the threshing crew.
The Brotherton thresher was
steamer, and the loss was appraised
at $600. It was Insured in the Xa
tional Fire Insurance company, and
W. A. Geisey, agent for the company,
was here at the time. He settled
the loss today.

same are lacking.

Local Attorney Evidently Suddenly

derlust Went West on No. 5 and
Caught Spokane Ilyer at Umatilla
Seen by "Dad" Willis Well
Dressed and In Good Spirits Stop,
ped n Iowa to See Daughter.
When W. C. E. Prultt left Pendle
ton a week ago last Tuesday he de
parted with the intention of leaving
the city for good and Is now probably
at his old home In Iowa.
Trace of Prultt was had yesterday
when H. C. Willis, formerly of this
city, reported having seen him on the
Spokane flyer the morning after Pra
ia's disappearance. According t
Willis, he was hailed by Prultt that
morning as he, Prultt, was passing
through the chair car on the way to
the diner for breakfast
At the time Prultt was dressed well,
according to Mr. Willis and seemed ia
good spirits. He asked Mr. Willis
where he was going and In answer
to an Inquiry about himself said he
was bound for Chicago.
No further thought was given the
incident by Mr. Willis until he heard
of Prultt's strange disappearance.
'Left for Good.
Further insight into Prultt's behav
ior is had from a conversation whlck
he had with a friend at the depot Just
before he left. To this friend, whose
name Is withheld at his request, Pru
ltt said he was going to leave ths
town for good and that he would go
to Iowa to see his daughter. He has
a raughter by a former wife and
apparently his longing to see his off
spring caused him to break the ties
that bound him to this city.
Those with whom Pruitt was asso
ciated in business have had no word
whatever from him since he left. As
an attorney he had several cases on
hand and was attorney for several
estates.
All of this business he dropped Just
as it was. How his affairs stand is
not definitely known. R. N. Oliver,
Prultt's law partner, says he has
found nothing wrong whatever and
no complaints against Prultt have
been received from any source.
Of the estates handled by Prultt
the most important was the Payne es
tate and Mrs. Raley, Prultt's mother-
in-law, was upon his bond.

Washington, July 30. Edmund En-
ight of Wisconsin has just landed on
these shores from the Philippines to
oecupy the position of superintendent
of Filipino students in the United
States. His duties will be to see that
the professors in the colleges through
out the country to which the Filipinos
have been assigned drill a proper
amount of learning Into the heads
f the young islanders and that the
boys get enough .foot ball and dont
sow too many wild oats.
Enright went to the Philippines In

from Belolt college. He began work
as a clerk in the civil service board,
but soon became chief examiner. His

NOW
IT
Crazed by the actions of her hus
band In leaving her for anoth'er wo
man, Mrs. Frank S. Turner took a
dose of carbolic acid Monday after
noon at Tacoma, from the effects of
which she died shortly afterward.
Wheat Is now 75 cents In the local
market and there were many sales
yesterday. It was the liveliest day
with the wheat buyers since Satur
day. This was probably due to the
Jump of two cents which occurred in
the quotations, the price up to yes
terday having been 73 cents.
It is estimated that at least 100,000
bushels of wheat were sold yesterday.
It was all in comparatively small lots
and was from all sections of the coun.
ty. Furthermore, nearly all of the lo
cal buyers shared In the buying.
At present there seems a tendency
to sell at the high prices being offer
ed. Though some growers say they
will hold for an advance, the most of
them seem to be willing to let go at
76 cents rather than risk a decline.
According to the buyers the most of
those who refuse to sell their wheat
now do so because they are not yet
far enough along with threshing.
