He has the new pair of shoes described as being worn by Jefferson The man gives . his name ns Young and says that f he came from Council Illufts last night , where lie has lived for n week.

Il.ilf to Clminhrrlnln , H. 1) UUTTU , Neb , , April 13. ( Special ) Ac cording to report , Fred Chamberlain and Jean Powell have been lynched In South Da kota by vigilantes from Keya Paha county The story Is told by James Rhodes of Naper , his county. Ho says the lynching took dace near the mouth of the White river , not 'ar from the Sioux reservation , about fifty ir sixty miles from Chamberlain , and about he same distance from the Nebraska line. Chamberlain ami Powell were alleged to be cattle rustlers. Mr. Rhodes got the story from a Keya 'aha ranchman , who told him that the Keya 'aha vigilantes had lately extended their organization to cover the territory Included n the Great Sioux reservation , as far north as Chamberlain , end were determined to' put a stop to the- cattle thieving. Mr t nodes had twelve head of cattle and four norses stolen from his Keya Paha ranch hln the past six months , and he has not been able to get any trace of them until ately , when a United States marshal was lent up to the White river country and ound evidrnco that the stock , together with hose of several other Nebraiki parties , were n that vicinity. On being discovered It Is ; ald that a party , aided by about 100 In- Jlans and -half-breeds " " - , "rounded up" the marshal and compelled him to leave I ho neighborhood. A man named Spaldlng , hu said , was the leader of the mob. One of ho Powell boys Is now serving a sentence , liavlng been convicted recently of stealing cattle. The vigilantes , Incensed nt their ac- lon , accused Powell and Chamberlain of ncltlng the violence , and without further ado hanged them. The truth or falsity of the report can only be hazaided , but it Is believed here that the nen have been made away with. If such Is .he case th ? vigilantes have undoubtedly aken the precaution to remove the evidence hat would be likely to Implicate them , and he disappearance of the men will only add another . chapter to the dark story of crime " "n that part of the country.
