WAS HANGED IN THE COURT.
SWIFT RETRIBUTION
.follow! the Commission of a Dastardly
Deed at Ottumw, low.
At Otlivrowi, la., Frelerkk Gnslaveson
was banped by an excited mob to the at sir
railing of Justice Truilt't court loom fur
assaulting tbs 4 year-old daughter of Jonas
8az.
On Wednesday (lustaveson was taken
quietly to Justice Truitt's ofllce for arraign
ment. The nes that tlie man was in I lie
court spread with rapidityand inlless than 20
minutes a crowd of ierhaps LOrn) was surg
ing around the stairway lending to the
Court room trying to gel at the prisoner.
I The mother of the little girl succeeded in
petting to the top of the stairs and from tba
platform in front of the court room swung
rope. Then. with her aped father, she
appealed to the crowd below to hang tins
tavesnn. Sheriff Mclntyre and Mayor
Force appealed to tbe crowd for peace and
silence but in vain.
I A number of men, after a great eflort,
succeeded in gaining admission to the court
room, which is on the second floor. No
sooner were they on the inside than they
ettempttd'to open tiie dnors and admit their
friend, Ibis precipitated a light with the
Court officer, which was carried on with
desperate determination for seteral minutes
The superior number of the lynchers final
ly won the battle the doors were opened,
and the mob poured in. The leader of the
mob seized the rope from the hands of Mrs,
Fax and, as the court attache. were power
less to interfere, placed it about Gustave
son's neck in a twinkling.
: With a yell of rage the rope was seized by
a hundred hands und the quaking wretch
was dragged from his chair across the floor
to a window, where he was lifted out and
when the ro e had been made secure to the
stair railing, he was dropped. He hung
appended above the principal street of the
citv lor fully ten minutes, the contortions
ofhisf,bodv being extremely revolting.
Suddenly the rope parted and the body
dropped to the street below and a concerted
rush wus made by the stwetators fur its
possession. The police, Iiowever were first
to reach the prostrate ligure and hastily
throwing it into u farmer's WBgonJnear by,
drove rapidly to the jail, followed by the
mob. Lynchers again demanded the body
of iustaveon, nor would they desist when
told thst the man was dead. A truce was
patched up by the appointment of a com
mittee, which examined the body and pro
nounced life extinct.
The little Sax plrl is in a precarious con
dition with tbe chances of life greatly
against her.

es slowly nnd all branches of business are
waiting for its growth. There has been a
little improvement In stocks, while the
price of products has declined a little on the
whole, but the volume cf businets has
somewhat increased.
Trade wails for the revival of Indus
tries, and tbe week's rtturns re-prctuig in
dustrial progress are ruther conflicting. The
sales of wool have been I lie largest since
Keptember. 1X112. amounting at three chief
markets to b0.5,koo pounds sgaiurt 4,I3,
600 for the same week lust year, and, while
it is stated t hut many purchases are of a
speculative character, there is evidence that
large buying by active mills is prompted
by increased orders.
l'ittsburg iron and steel manufacturers
are playing havoc with Eastern markets,
although the prices made in that region arc
so low that their continuance cannot be
predicted. There is considerable increase in
the number of concerns in operation, but
there does not appear to be ninth gain in
actual consumption of pig iron, and prices
are us low us ever. The markets for pro
ducts have been irregular. Wheat has ad
vanced 1 cent, though the receipts have been
4,30u,ooj bu-liels against 6,.'i,oo0 last vear,
and the exports from Atlantic ports 'only

The corn reieipts are remarkably In me,
amounting to d,un0,U0O, bushels, against

IRON AND STEEL.
A Weekly Review of the Market, By
Way of Cleveland.
The "Iron Trade." Cleveland, O., says:
"An Increasing volume of business In raw
Iron and in many departments of the fin
ished material market, Is still attended by
the lowest price, and there is no longer any
disposition to speculate as to how far down
absolute bottom Is to be found. Wherever
any considerable tonnage Is to be purchased
and in finished Iron 10') tons seems to
count for as much as BOD tons in normal
times sellers have come to expect to make
prices a shads lower than the lust transac
tion called out. In the pig iron it Is noted
that in so-ne markets consumers are asking
quotations on larger lots than lor some lime
past. Sales are con.eiinenily confined to
this yeai's deliveries, iiowever, the expira
tion ot coke con tract a with the year being a
lector in the calculations of some furnace
men. The steel rail reductions continue to
be a fruit t'til topic. esclal)y among ore
rnen and furnaceiuen. Much is expected
from the stimulus to rai buying which is
confidently counted on. Kailroad officials
in several Instances are quoted as to the
larger contractsthey will now place and as
In the replacement of light rails with heav
ier ones, the building of electric railways
will be given an impetus, moreover, and
the practice ol using heavy rails on these
lilies will increase, while the inter-town
lines that have for some time used the T
rails in part are likely to be larger cuto
mers than ever of the rail mills. Later reports
substantiate the lower prices tbat have
been mentioned in connection with recent
sales.
The large pipe contracts In the East here
tofore reported have lncreaed by consider
able tonnsge in the week, Cincinnati re
porting tbe best Week the pipe trade has
seen in months, l'rices were the lowest,
Iiowever, tlic effort evidently beingonlyto
fill up the foundries for tbe "winter. There
is nothing assuring In the pipe trade and
piices are very uncertain. 1 he movement
may be up or down with any week. In
addition to the round sales of southern iron
msile to cover pipe contracts, there have
been some goodly transactions in the val
leys In the l'ittsburg and Wheeling districts
particularly in Bessemer iron and in several
sales, mode under special conditions. In
finished iron and steel the demoralization
continues; prices depend altogether on the
lire of the order ami the competition to get
the business. The resumption of several
Muhoning valley mills on a lower wage
basis, will not relieve the tension any. and
the struggle for business in support ot
steady winter operation promises to
wax keener.

A tineer Dwe'lma;.
Arizona Is literally covered with
the ruins of strnngij hnbltaMons.
Moot of them are constructed ot con
crete or adobe, nnd the mystery about
them Is the Identity of the K'Ojil
who designed them. How theycou.'d
be built Is not a matter ot conjecture,
ns the materials nre cloe nt liuml.
lint there Is one ruin, although still
In a g-d state of preservation, that
Is a mystery, nn matter la what light
It Is coosltleted.
It Is In the Htinchucha mountains,
not far from the military reservation,
In a northcatern direction. Nothing
Is known of its origin, and the won
derful part Is the material of which
It Is constructed.
It Is about two hundred miles from
the ocean, and surrounded on all
sides by bills of sand und rocks cov.
ered with cacti. There Is no wutei
for miles, except the excu-cs for rlv.
ers that run during the rainy season.
Tlieie ts not even a suggestion of
water, and yet the house Is built ot
sea shells laid In a sort ot cement.
Where the shells were obtained Is
a mystery that may never be solved.
It does not seem possible that the
builder of the house would enrry the
material over hundreds of miles cf
desert when there were plenty of
rocks near by that would answer the
purpose Just as well, even though
they were not so unique.
The house Is built In the shape of
the straw huts of the l'apago Indians,
and Is about the same size. There Is
room Inside for flvo or six persons,
but at pretcnt nobody occupies It, ex
cept perhaps, some prospector, who
uses It for temporary shelter In cold
weather.
There are a dozen varieties of shells
to be found In the walls, and one
over the door Is of extraordinary size.
The aae of the building will never
be known, but there Is little doubt
but that It Is as old as the oldest In
the Territory.
If yoit hiite your brother It Is proof
lo God that you hate Christ.
