ELDOIU , I A. , Juno 0. For several your a a
Rang of criminals known as tlio Ramsbargors ,
composed of Nate , Frank , BUI , Fin and Man
scr Raintbargor , and n largo number of rola-
tivea and other followers , numbering perhaps
twonty-fivo , have terrorized and defied the
good people of Hardin and Grundy counties
In the vicinities of Eldorn , Steamboat Rock
and Ackley , committing outrageous daprodn-
tloaa and defying the law. These outrages
culminated last year in the murder of Enos
Johnson , father-in-law of Nato Raiusbargor ,
for which Nate and Frank were arrested ,
and are no\y still confined in the jail
at Marahaltown. Amoug the promlnant
witnesBca agalnit thorn wera Doctors Under
wood , Rsteuour , and other * , all of whom have
since been anonymously threatened and ad
vised to lo vu the country. Night before last
Drs. Underwood and Retonour while returnIng -
Ing home from the country and passing
through a strip of timber were ) fired upon by
four men covered by darkness and atubush ,
Dr. Retcnour rctnrnlng the iiro. Their bug
gy was romswhat riddled but only Retonour
was slightly hurt , and ho wounded ono of his
assailants. Yesterday 13111 Fin and Manson
Rainsbargers were arrested ai the alleged at-
sallants. Bill was released on ball , but Fin
and Mnuson were put in jail ,
At about 1 o'clock this morning , a mob ,
auppoicd to number ono hundred of Ilardin
ounty's best citizens , urined , masked and
well commanded'reached the suburb ) of 1-
dora , on horse and otherwise , from the uotth.
Fifteen men advancing hold up the city mar
shal and plausd packets on each of the avenues
eading to the jail , The remainder following
attacked the jail , working quickly and quietly.
No attention was attracted until they com
menced pulling down the doors. Marshal
Barnes , who had charge of the prisoners ,
lives over the jail and was
awakened by the first blows of the
battering ram. ilo immediately knew what
It meant , and coming down toutsido stairs bo
called for help. Ilo was confronted by re
volvers and told to go Inside. Ho then
aroused Deputy Sheriff Baylan , Sheriff Wilcox -
cox being out of town.
The mob soon battered down tbo outside
door and proceeded to Rainslarger'a cell. Here
they encountered conftiderab o resistance and
considerable time in hammering down the
doors with a aledgo. The , Ralnsbargers both
backed up against the cell doer when iho at
tack commenced , and hold the mob
outside until members of the mob
shot from the outalde through the barred
window. Then they commenced to realize
the peril cf their situation and at once became
convinced that they must glvo up their lives
to pay the penalty of their crimes. They
cried , ' 'Help , help , murder , murder , Barnes ,
Wilcox , people of Kldora , for Heaven's sake
eave us ! " Tneir cries cauld bo heard for con-
alderable distance. They called to George
Barber , confined in another cell for liqujr
Belling to tell their families and the boys that
they "died like dogs and no one to help
them. " Ben , after the door had been
broken in , made a desperate dash
and struggled through the mob for liberty ,
and finally reached the outside door , where he
vras literally riddled with bullets. Manse was
dragged from the cell and shot to death , not
less than seventeen shots taking effect In his
body.
The mob imaiediatelyand quietly dispersed.
Not many citizens of hldora realized that the
tragedy was being enacted in their midst until
the curtain had fallen and the actors except
two had retired.
The exceptional two presented a ghastly
sight to those who first arrived on the scene.
Lying on his face about fifteen feet from the
jail was the lifeless corpse of Manser Rains-
barger , and lying near the sidewalk , near him ,
was the body of his brother , the light of a
neighboring street lamp making a horrible ,
sickening sight. Both were dressed in pants
and shirts only , and were covered with , blood.
Lying near by was the hickory sapling which
had boon used aa a battering ram. la about
half an hour Coroner Underwood arrived and
Marshal Barnes had the bodies removed to
the mayor's ollico.
Bill Rainsbarger came into town this fore
noon , and was told if bo would brace up and
bo a maa they would let him stay there , but
the first b.id break he made would Insure him
his brothers' fate.

WHEAT CLlJlIW HIGHER.
Special Telegram to The BKK.
CHICAGO , III , , Juno 5. The day on 'change
waa again marked by strong excitement and
another advance in prices. Wheat conditions
wore very similar to those witnessed during
the two preceding dnys. The outlook for the
crop In the winter wheat growing statcsfjwaa
considered as dubious as the dwarf talk con
cerning the visible supply. The official state
ment from Kansas limiting the probable yield
in that state to 12,000,000 had a strengthen
ing effect , and tlio statement was made that
Missouri , Illinois , Indiana , and Ohio would
report little if any moro promising conditions.
Other wheat markets responded to the rlso
hero , St. Louis loading the local market and
scoring n larger advance oven than Chicago ,
It was stated that the Minneapolis millers
had advanced the prlc-j lor wheat two cents ,
and that a peed interior milling demand had
grown "up. The receipts hero were largo , and
the shipments continue limited. Foreign ad
vices were quoted dull and easy. The mat-
kot , under this influence , after a firm opening ,
declined Jc , talUed } c again , Bold elf a trifle ,
then sold tip under a strong demand lie , and
oloecd on the regular board Ic over yesterday.
There was further appreciation of go on the
afternoon board , the market closing at nearly
the outside figures , *
CORN.
There was creed tradirg In corn , but the
prlcoi averaged lower , owing to increased re
ceipts and a loss urgent snipping demand ,
The market opened n shade firmer , sold offjc ,
fluctuated , and finally closed 33 lower than
yesterday.
OATS.
There was a weaker feeling In oats , the mar
ket declining i@c , but recovered a portion
and finally closed on the afternoon board well
up to yesterday's latest figures.
PROVISIONS.
There was very little fining in provisions ,
and prices ruled lower. Mesa pork closed 10
@ 15c under yesterday.
3 3i CATTLE.
Trade was alow and values in a general way
lower. There wore at least 100 cars of south
western cattle among the fresh receipts , which
Included a largo per cent of grass Texana and
a fair per cent of oorn-fed Texans and Indian
territory corn-fed Texans. This supply cime
into direct competition with fair to good na
tives of 1,100 to 1,200 , and tha latter had to
be closed out at considerable reduction in
tome cases 10@15c. Corn-fed Texans may
be quoted at $ i.40'34.S5 , and to average U01) )
to 1,000 pounds. Grass Texans of 750 to 900
pounds may be quoted at S3.80@4.25. This
time lat year corn-fed Texana were sell
ing at S5.10@0,25 , and grassers of 800 pounds
and upwards at 34.50(2025. ( The best
fat natives are making S5.00 5,70. Weights
are not a factor of any importance , as often
times nice , plump little steers of 1,200 pounds
and thereabouts will sell for as high a price
as those weighing 1,300 pounds and upwards.
The great bulk of fat steers range between
S5.00@5.50 , and low grades are down to S4.70
@ 4 00. Cows and mixed stock , although not
in heavy supply , ruled ossler on account of
the large number of Texans on sale. Then ,
again , canners were not operating as active as
usual. The atocker and feeder trade contin
uea to rule dull. The receipts are limited and
so is the demand. There were barely suffi
cient transactions to-day to establish a mar
ket. The soles were ; Shipping , 1,350 to
1,500 pounds , $5.SO@5.G5 ; 1,200 to 1.35C
pounds , S5.CO@5.35 ; 9tO to 1,2.0 poundr ,

a week ago and tba receipts are 0.000 less ;

that Col. J. n. Ilavcrly , the prlnco-of

The colonel arrived In Omaha yostor-
loy-at'noon , remained until 8 o'clock last
wunlng , then journeyed en to Denver.
Ho hud with him ! . ' H. Harrington , an
jxptrb stamp mill man from Chicago ,
rchD-ho-is taking aloe ; , ' , with rvviow of souring -
: uring the contract to add an addition to
Dal. Hivtrly's mill at his San Magnll
; old mine , to double its picsout capacity.
Fho colonel declared that his mine is now
beginning to pay him a not proGt
} f aboub § 0,000 per mouth ,
therefore the demandfor ;
inoro machinery makoa It imperative
upon him to enlarge , ' 'To-morrow I
meet Charley Reed , tint calobntcd Cal
ifornia comedian , at Denver. Have en
gaged him for my minstrel company at a
salary of $800 per wookbnt ho is cer
tainly the finest comodlan living. Tried

onel aayi that ho hao- dropped -
pod all his other combination enter
prises , nnd forgiving his entire attention
to "flavorloy's United American Euro

the great manager warmly declared , that
ho has In his attraction ono feature , sur
passing anything ever before soon on the
American stags the Oragg'.familyr gym
nastic artists , Imported from Europe ex
pressly for the big minatrola. "Lot mo
toll yon , that I am also building a > thea
tre , opposite MttVicar'B- . Chicago , to
bo used entirety for mlnsirolay. It will
hold 1,300 people , and bo a very cosy ,
comfortable place. "
The colonel , rather hoaitallnglyat first ,
admitted that ho ia aho negotiating for
the erection of ntheatro-in Chicago , something -
thing after the -stylo of the London Alhambra -
hambra , that will ba the grandest struct
ure of Its kind , wKcn 'Completed , on thla
continent. Its seating , capacity is to be
not less than f > ,000 people , , aud in con
nection with the theatre a magnificent
European cafe , a summer garden , winter
garden , and everything , elao conducive to
the happiness and comfort of those In
search of employment
The money to back thistchemo ia now
in bank at Now Yfcrk , and the colonel
said that ho was satisfied arrangements
wonld be completed for work to com
mence about the first of July. It la his
intention to hnvo.the theater ready for
business by the first'of September , 1889.
The one ho is pntting up now will be
completed and ready , to open by the mid
dle of next Auguoti
The colonel thinks that next season
will witness a healthy and bcneuclal
change In the amusement business. In
the first place thcro w'll not , ho sayu , bo
more than half' as many combinations
start out on the road as started out at
the opening of last season. That won-
detfnl flood of theatrical troupes organ
ized ono year sg _ ? was duo wholly to the
idiotic ideas of a lot of young fellows in
and around Now 'Sork who had money
and Imagined that they possi issed the ca
pabilities of becoming immensely wealthy
as theatrical managers. In moat cases ,
however , very few crooks were
required to convince thf .m differently.
Another good aign is thf , disappearance
of what are called "snip" / companies ,
made upi of poor player B and worthless
plays. This circuit but Inoss which has
recently ep.runc ; into exii.touco the colonel
is bitterly down on. To that ho con
tributes moro than lrr icat a 07 other ono
thing tho. support of t heso snide ahowa.
For instance , an op eta housu manager
at sonid prnrnlrusat town ia tbo coun
try Butorrt into MI agroemant with
ownerj of holla u id little theatres in
email towns wltbin a radius of say ICO
miles , whereby h b i to f uraish them with
what nttirxMoua th' ' oy want and roouivo a
certain per cent , gr jnorall abont Aye pur
cent , of' the iec Iptu , thus pntting him-
eolf In the poM'.ton of' ' a middleman.
The result 10 , fin' ' , class attractions lefuso
to play under circuit rules , therofcro
the country la filled with inferior com
panies , that in order to keep on the road
and make a living ploy , under any con-
dltlona.
