Van and Billy Graham , who were re

black face comedians , kept the nous

Billy Graham's "Back to the Mour
tains , You Are Wild , " brought encor
after encore and the good nature
comedian was compelled to sing th
chorus over and over again.
A request went up from the and
ence that George Van sins "Waltln

which ho made a hit hero last yeai
but he had not rehearsed the plc
with the orchestra and he substitute
a parody on the church song entitled
"Waiting for My Shirt , "
Billy Graham was better than eve
as a brilliant eccentric dancer and th
audience kept him at it until you woul
have thought his legs would drop off.
A number of the gags delivered b

new and genuinely rich.
Roswell J. Wright's wonderful mal
coprnno voice , which was heard her

RECALLS OLD LYNCHING.
Sioux City Man Tells of Former Mobs
In Nebraska.
The lynching of a few days ago ,
iccordlug to a Sioux City report , re-
nlnd-.i John McDonald of other lynch-
H In Nebraska In days when such
affairs did not cause quite so much
xcHcniciit.
Mr. McDonald recalls with special
clearness the summary execution at
St. Helena , Neb. , of .Tamos Jameson ,
vlto murdered Henry Ivocke In Cedar
county , Nob. , In 1870. Mr. McDonald ,
as sheriff of Woodbury county , had
captured the fellow and turned him
over to Sheriff Penny , of Cedar
county.
In the crowd of men , women and
children who participated In this affair
and who will recall It with ease were
many of the present residents of that
county.
The murder was committed in a for
est , where Locke and Jameson had
; one to chop wood. They quarreled
and Jameson hit Locke over the head
with nn axe. Then he took $7.50 from
.he person of his victim and left the
country. After BOIIIO months Sheriff
McDonald captured him on a farm
nine miles from Omaha on May G ,
1871 , and put him In jail In Omaha.
Returning to Sioux City , he notified
the sheriff of Cedar county of the cap-
: ure , and together they went to Oma
ha. On the way back they lodged the
prisoner in the Woodbury county jail
for a night On May 13 they started
for Cedar county , crossing the Mis
souri river at Yankton at night. Upon
reaching the Nebraska shore Sheriff
McDonald formally surrendered his
prisoner to the sheriff of Cedar county
and returned to Yankton. During that
night at a farm house Jameson took
a heavy dose of strychnine with sui
cidal intent , but failed in his purpose.
When McDonald arrived on the Ne
braska shore the next day to acconv
pany Sheriff Penny and his prisoner
to St. Helena , Neb. , ho learned they
had gone on ahead of him and he
followed them. Upon his arrival at
St. Helena he found the prisoner lying
on the floor of a hotel , still suffering
from the effects of the poison. A
crowd of excited men , women and cbll-
dren stood around him and many were
on the outside. McDonald proceeded
to get the prisoner xipstalrs and oul
of reach of the excited people. Arthui
Linn , editor of the Yankton Dakotan
took a statement from the prisoner
Jameson confessed the murder of r
man at Fort Buford at the time he wai
a soldier in the Thirty-first regiment
He said he was born in Ireland thlrtj
years before and that his real name
was John McBeth , though he had
traveled under four different namef
during his career. By trade he was t
wheelwright.
About half an hour after this Inter
view the crowd took a vote as tc
whether the man should be hung , anc
It was decided he should expiate hlf
crime at the end of a rope. It waf
stipulated that those In favor of lynch
Ing should stand on ono side of a line
in the middle of the road , and those
who opposed It should stand on the
other side. Men , women and childrcr
all gathered on ono side of the line
with the exception of a traveling man
who straddled it.
The crowd made a rush to secure
the prisoner , but the officers stood
between the excited men and the
cringing prisoner , Jnslsting that no one
should mount thestairs. \ . Sheriff Me
Donald informed 'the mob that th (
prisoner desired to see a clergyman
and It was decided that the man's life
should be spared two and a half houn
to permit the summoning of the parlsl
priest , who lived three miles distant
While awaiting the priest's arrival
Jameson , standing In the door of th <
hotel , made a statement In a cool ant
deliberate manner , In spite of the fac
that he was staring death In the face
He admitted to the crowd that he hae
assisted In the murder of a man a
Buford , and that he had killed Locke
as the result of a quarrel. In answei
to the question as to whether he evei
had killed anyone else , ho said he n
one time had killed a friend In Ken
tucky by accident. After a private
session with the priest he proceedee
to make his will and then partook o
a meal of oysters , crackers and wine
At the conclusion of his repast h <
coolly said ;
"I am ready to go now. "
Walking down stairs to the gate , h <
was placed In a lumber wagon , ane
at this point Sheriff McDonald tool
leave of him.
The priest remained at his side ni
the wagon was driven slowly away
Jameson sat on a dry goods box. /
crowd numbering 150 men , women ane
children followed the wagon. In tin
meantime a committee bad taken Sher
Iff Penny Into custody to prevent , an ;
possible interference. The wagon wai
driven fifteen or twenty rods from thi
hotel , where a gallows had been erect
ed for the execution. The wagon halt
ed beneath the gallows , and Jamosoi
was permitted again to address thi
crowd. Ho repeated his former state
ment and warned all to profit by hii
example. Ho asked for a glass o
wine , which was given him. Ho thoi
asked Dr. Van Velsor of Yankton t
lot him have a whiff or two of liln pipe ,
and the doctor compiled with his re
quest The prisoner them knelt down
with the prloHt , who prayed for him.
Jameson then mounted the box. Ho
refused to put on the cap that had
been prepared for him iiml them an-
Hinted In adjusting thu rope around his
neck. At a word the horses started
and Jame'Hon gave a slight Jump. The
rope broke and ho full to the ground ,
As thu mob picked htm up , the bleedIng -
Ing neck showed the effect of a savage
cut by the hump. He' urged his cap
tors "In God's namu" to cud It all as
eon as possible. The ) wagon was
Irlven around again and Jameson oncu
nero was helped upon the box. Then
i stronger rope was placed lu position ,
and In ono brief moment the murderer
was launched Into eternity. In twenty
nlnutes Drs. Van Volsor and I owls
) renounced him dead. The body was
cut down and given Into the charge ) of
i committee , which watt Instructed to
> ury him.
Mr. McDonald recalls also the lynch-
ng of Kid Wade at Basse-It , Neb. , In
880. McDonald captured Wade nt
limning Water , S. D. , after ho had
stolen some horses In this vicinity.
fudge Lewis sentenced him te > throe1
voars In Anamosa , and as ho loft the
court room ho vowed ho would return
o Sioux City and kill the Judgu. Upon
ils release from the penitentiary ho
resumed horse stealing , and the lynch-
ng was the result.
Another Nebraska lynching which
was recalled by Mr. McDonald oc
curred In 1879. "Ulack Bill" Clark
and "Slim Jim" Church stole sovun
lorses at a camp meeting at Oto , and
were captured and taken to Dakota
City , where they were kept In the
Dakota county Jail , awaiting requisi
tion papers. Nick Maher was sheriff
of Dakota county at the time. The
men were sent to Anamosa for a term
of three years. Upon being released ,
they took up the old business. They
were captured again and ono of them
met death at the hands of a mob.
NORTHWEST WILL BEGIN TO CALL
ON NORFOLK BANKS.
PROSPEROUS YEAR IS AHEAD
While Crops Have Not Been So Large
as a Year Ago , Prices Due to Supply
and Demand Are Higher Interest
Rates Also Go Up.
[ Prom Monday's Datly.1
Within the next few weeks banking
Institutions in north Nebraska will be
gin to rnn''o the annual call on the
banks of Norfolk for fall funds. And
the Norfolk banks , entirely Indcpen
dent of eastern money conditions , arc
fully prepared to meet these fall de
mands for currency.
Norfolk occupies a position of in
creasing Importance in the banking
business of north Nebraska. Norfolk
banks have a total of nearly 100 cor
respondents among north Nebraskn
banks. The strength of Norfolk banks
whose total deposits reach practically
a million and a half dollars , reflects
the prosperity of north Nebraska as
well as Norfolk.
Cash Called Into Play.
A good many of those thousands o :
dollars now on deposit in Norfolk
banks are going to bo called Into play
during the next few weeks by the an
nual fall demand for money. There
is a vast movement of money that cor
responds roughly to the fall grain
movement. Grain men call for funde
for the grain purchases , the larger
grain flrms from the big city banks but
many of the small dealers from local
banks. Then the funds of the farmer
soon to bo swelled by the harvest , be
gin to dwindle. Ho may even want
short time loans. Money , actual mon
ey , which accumulates In the banking
centers in the course of business , Is Ir
these early fall months called Into ac
tlvo and widely dispersed circulation
by the multitude of small transaction *
involving the. products of millions o
western farms.
But in forty or sixty days after thlf
annual call sets In deposits in Norfoll
banks will begin to go up again. The
great business period of the year foi
the agricultural west will have passee
and the funds and profits of that shor
period will be In part placed In the
banks , part of It to roll Into Norfolk.
Prosperity Ahead.
There is no frantic call on the eas
for money. With Norfolk as with oth
er western banks It has become the
practice to buy high grade commercla
paper during the spring and early sum
mer months so that crop calls can be
met on payments made on this com
merclal paper. Norfolk banks have
been preparing for fall calls as funds
come In from maturing paper and are
placed aside.
Looking at the matter through the
eyes of the farmers , local bankers be
Hove that the northwest will have an
other year of prosperity. Where cropi
have been lighter than last year stlE
prices will help fill the farmers' pock
ets.
Money Goes Up.
It is to bo noted that in the genera
swing towards high prices that th <
price of money , or the rent of money
Is also shooting upward. Norfoll
banks last week were offered gooi
commercial paper , at advanced dls
count , the best of the big city flrmi
borrowing for six and a half per con
discount. Norfolk banks can placi
funds under these conditions at terroi
which equal an eight percent Interes
rate.
