To Prevent Dyke Cuttlitf ? .
Three watchmen armed with shotguns an
keeping guard at the Locust street dyk' '
at the south end of Cut Off lake with tin
purpose and Intention of shooting any per
son or persons they may catch trying ti
cut through Iho dyke In order to perrai
the escape of the flood of water that li
overspreading East Omaha and the island !
to the northward.
These men have been on watch for tw <
nights and will bo continued as long ai
the flood continues. While there Is con
siderable concealment made regarding tin
persons who have employed them. It ha :
become known that they have been hlrei
by the corporations that own property tc
the south of Cut Off inko nnd fear thai
their 'property ' may bo ruined In order tc
relieve the danger to the north. This sys
tem of watchmen employed on the levees
along the lower Mississippi was selected us
the best precaution against this danger.
There is no question that If the Locust
street dyke is cut through the dangerous
condition on the Island will bo relieved
This dyke Is the only obstacle that prevent ,
the waters of Cut Oft lake from cscaplnf
Into the river In the vicinity of Nlcholaf
and Iznrd streets. If this channel were
operating the water would very quickly b (
drained from the whole of Cut Off Island
It Is feared that some of the residents or
Lho Island , whoso homes are now surroundei
by water , might take this means of secur
ing dry land for their yards once morn.
The railroads fear more than damage tc
their property. If the flood should cvei
break through the Locust street dyke , It ;
old channel that which It formerly pur
sued before It cut out around East Omahr
would 'bo ' reopened to It and considerable
difficulty might be experienced In gottlnp
It back Into Its proper -bed. If this should
come to pass , thousands of dollars worth ol
property owned by the railroads would be de-
strayed and much of the Improvements now
put In would bo rendered useless.
Until within the last two days nnothoi
dyke besides that formed by Locust streel
has been holding the waters of Cut Ofl
lake from the river. This other obstruc
tion wan formed by a heavy railroad grade
that ran across the lake some distance norti

I'ALMKTTO , Oa. . April 24. The body of
Llgo Strickland , the negro preacher who
was Implicated In the Cranford murder by
Sam Hose , was found swinging to the limb
of a persimmon tree within u mile and a
ijuartcr of this town today. IJoforo death
was allowed to end the sufferings of the
negro his body was mutilated. On the chest
of the negro was n scrap of bloodstained
note paper attached with an ordinary pin.
On one side of this paper was written :
"Now York Journal.Vo must protect our
ladles. 23-99. " The other side of the paper
contained a warning to the negroes of the
neighborhood. It read as follows :
"Dewnre , all darkles. You will be treated
the same way. "
Hcforo being lynched Strickland was given
a chance to confess to the misdeeds of which
the mob supposed him to be guilty , but he
protested his Innocence to the end.
Three times the nooeo was placed around
his neck and the negro was drawn up off
the ground ; three times ho was let. down
with warnings that death was In store for
him should ho fall to confess his complicity
In the Cranford murder. Three times Strick
land proclaimed his Innocence until , wcury
of useless torturing , the mob pulled on the
rope and tied the etui around the Blunder
trunk of the persimmon trco. Not n hot
was llred by the mob. Strickland waa
straneled to death.
Ijnitlo-rr Dofcniln Strlcklitml.
The lynching was not accomplished with
out a desperate effort on the part of Strick
land's employer to save hla life. The man
who pleaded for the negro Is Major W. Vf.
Thomas , an cx-stnto senator and one of the
most distinguished citizens of Coweta
county. He did all In his power to prevent
the lynching nnd did not discontinue hla
efforts until ho had been assured by the
leaders of the mob that the negro would be
taken to Jail at Kalrburn. One mile from
where this promise was made , Llge Strick
land was hanged. The negro was a tenant
on the plantation of Major Thomas.
When Sam 'Hose ' , the murderer of Alfred
Cranford and the assailant of his wife ,
made his confession Immediately prior to
his burning , ho Implicated Llgo Strickland ,
Hose contending that ho had been offered
money by Strickland to kill Cranford. It
was known positively , however , that Hose
had made false statements In his last con
fession nnd many rf those who aided in hie
burning were disposed to disregard hla
statements In regard to Strickland.
Late Sunday night about fifteen men
went to the plantation of .Major Thomas anil
took Llge Strickland from the little cabin
In the woods that he called home , leaving
his wife and five children. Their cries
aroused Major Thomas nnd that sturdy old
gentleman followed the lynchers In his
buggy , accompanied by his son , W. M ,
Thomas , determined to save. If possible , the
llfo of his plantation darky. lie overtook
the lynchers with their victim at Palmetto
and then ensued , with only the moonlight
to brighten the faces of these grim men ,
the most weird nnd dramatic scene thle
section has over known.
\rurro Pleads Xnt Guilty.
Llge Strickland was halted directly oppo
site the telegraph office. The nooae was
adjusted around his neck and the end of the
rope was thrown over a limb. Strickland
was told he ba'il'a chance before dying to
confess his complicity In the crime. He re
plied : "I have told you all I know gentle-
mon. You can kill me If you wish , but I
know nothing more to tell. "
The negro's llfo might have been ended
then but for the arrival of Major Thomas ,
who leaped from his buggy and asked for
a hearing. Ho ashed the crowd to give the
negro u chance for his life hero on the
streets of Palmetto , and said :
"Gentlemen , this negro Is Innocent. Hose
said Llgo had promised to give him ? 20 to
kill Alfred Cranford and I .believe . Llge has
not had $20 since ho has .been . on my place.
Ho has never done any of you any harm
and now I want you to 'promise ' mo that
you will turn him over to the bailiff of this
town In order that ho may bo given a hear
ing. I do not ask that you liberate him.
Hold him and if the courts adjudge him
guilty , hang him. "
To this the mob replied that Strickland
had Inllamed the negroes In the neighbor
hood nnd had a bad reputation , -having been
run away from Kaet Point several yeara
ago.
ago.Major
Major Thomas reminded the mob that the
negro had voluntarily told of seeing Hose
on the night of the murder. A member
of the mob replied that Strickland had
done this In the cunnlngneBs of his guilt
to establish his own Innocence. There were
some , however , who agreed with Major
Thomas , and after n discussion a vote waa
taken which was supposed to mean life or
death to Llgo Strickland. The vote to let
him live * was unanimous.
Crowd Ilrrnkx Itn Promlxi- .
Major Thomas then retired some distance
nnd the mob was preparing to send Strick
land In a wagon to Newnan , when a member
of the mob cried out : "Wo have got him
hero ; let's keep him. " This again roused
the mob and a messenger was sent to Major
Thomas to leave Palmetto for his own good ,
but the old gentleman was not frightened.
Ho drew himself up and said emphatically :
"I have never before been ordered to leave
a town and I am not going to leave this
one. "
And then the major , uplifting his hand to
glvo his words force , snld to the messenger :
"Tell them that the muscles In my legs
arc not trained to running ; tell them that
I huvo stood the flro and heard the whlstln
of the in limit's from a thousand Yankee
rllles and I am not frightened by this
crowd. "
Major Thomas was not molested.
Then , with the understanding that Llgo
Strickland was to bo delivered to the jail
or at Falrburn , Major Thomas saw tha mob
moving away with the negro. The mob took
the negro near to the homo of Marshal
Glvens of this place , and again the nooao
was adjusted around his neck. Ho was
hauled off the ground , but was let down
to allow him to confess. Ho refused to dose
so , and the lynchers were about to haul
him up again when the son of Marshal
Glvens came upon the scene and requested
that the lynching should not occur BO near
his father's homo. The negro was then
taken to the yard In the rear of Dr. W. S.
Zellar'H homo and tied up to a persimmon
tree and left hanging.
A coroner's jury this afternoon held an
Inquest at Palmetto and returned the fol
lowing verdict : "Death at the hands of
parties unknown. "

Crime.
ATLANTA , On. , April St. The scries of
crimes which began with the burning of
Palmetto by Incendiaries , the lynching : i
month later of four negroes by the whites
of that little town In retaliation , to be fol
lowed ten days ago by the murder of Alfred
Cranford and the criminal assault of his
wife , for which the negrn Sam Hose was
burned at the stake yesterday , has stlrrcJ
the people of Georgia and the south Into
n frenzied dlncusslon of the social problem.
The question of protection for the white
women in the sparsely settled farming dis
tricts Is the topic of the day , The Atlanta
Constitution today devotes u page to a col
lection of opinions on how proper protec
tion can bo afforded to the women of the
country. Of the matter Governor Candler
has this to cay :
"Tho question of protection for women nnd
homes In the country Is ono of drop Inter
est nnd which weighs upon my heart. I
think the wisest plan for protection will
bo for the legislature to take up the matter
and provide n uufflcicnt state mllltla nnd
funds to bo expended for a patrol In the
country districts. "
Former Governor William j. Xorthcn ex
pressed himself as follov/s : "My first sug
gestion is that nil homes bo made miniature
arsenals , at least to the extent of one good
rlflo and ono good pistol ; that women bo
allowed to carry weapons nnd taught the
use of handling firearms , so that they may
become their own protectors In the absence
of the husband or master of the house.
An occasional negro lying dead In the back
yard , shot by a bravo woman In defense of
her honor , will do more to stop this awful
crime than all the lynching that may occur
In n year. I would have every county sup
plied with nt least half n dozen well trained
bloodhounds. I would have an organization
of nt least twenty men in each county who
should have supervision of all lawlessucsn
and disorders In the country. "
Woman' * Iti-im-ily.
Mrs. Louie M. Gordon , n prominent figure
In society , not only In Atlanta , but through
out the southern cities , favors the equipment
of a company of mllltla by each county.
She says : "Tho .Mexican government has a
kind of rural soldiery having the power to
hold n drumhead court-martial nnd to shoot
the criminal caught If bo Is found guilty.
The per cent of crime Is lower In Mexico
than In this country nnd train robberies nro
scarce , nnd yet trains are loaded with silver
and bullion. It seems It would be a wise
Investment for our farmers to add a fund
to what should bo contributed by the legis
lature to provide an up-to-date , well
equipped , sufficient military force for the
counties as well as cities nnd towns , which
with the good moral effect It would surely
bring would produce n sense of safety which
would drive fear away from shrinking
hearts. "
Mrs. H. Felton , who produced a sensation
by her assertion at an agricultural conven
tion two years ago that a thousand negroes
should bo lynched every week until the
outrages stop , says she has no reason to
change her opinion.
Attorney General Terrell favors a better
enforcement of the laws. He says : "Tho
means of enforcing our criminal laws would
be very materially Improved If a system of
county police were established In every
county In the state. "
Hon. S. M. Inman , ono of the wealthiest
citizens of Atlanta , thinks trouble could bo
averted If employers In the country would
Investigate the character and antecedents of
the people they employ.
Inspector General Obear : "The sheriff of
each county should organize a regular posse
of competent and determined men who could
bo ready nt n moment's notice to respond
to bis call , nnd In addition thereto should
maintain a pack of trained dogs to follow
the troll when a crime Is committed In his
county. No expense or effort should bo
spared to discover the criminal and bring
him to justice.
"Women may assist In their own protec
tion by becoming familiar with the use of
firearms and having them at hand when the
occasion demands. It Is not the duty of the
military to hunt criminals , but to assist the
civil authorities In protecting them when
called upon. "

ATLANTA , Ga. , April 24. The Fifth regi
ment of Georgia militia , which was ordered
under arms last night by Governor Gaudier ,
spent the night In the armory hero. It waa
stated t-y the governor that the mllltla was
wanted to guard the county Jail ns a pro
tection to G. W. Kcrlln , who killed Pearl
Knott near Woolsey , Ga. , last week , but It
Is generally believed the soldiers were
wanted to prevent trouble nt Palmetto. No
further orders have been received from the
governor and the men are etlll under arms.
The people of this city have never been so
wrought up ns they are over the Newnan
affair. Extra trains have carried 3,000 or
4,000 people to the scene of the crime. Some
of thorn remained over night and returned
to Atlanta this morning. Nearly every man
brought a souvenir nnd one showed n piece
of Hose's heart , saying he was going to
present It to Governor Cnndler.
Shortly before noon Governor Candlet
ordered the dismissal of the Fifth Infantry.
Members of the organization went to. ( licit-
places of business.
The governor has notified the Jones boys ,
who arrested Hose , that he has suspended
payment of the reward for three days. The
arrest and delivery of Hose to the crowd nt
Newnan will be throughly Investigated.

CLEVELAND , 0. , April 24. The Metho
dist Ministers' association today discussed
the Georgia lynching and appointed a com
mittee to draft resolutions condemning the
outrage as well as the crime committed by
the vk'm ' of the mob. Rev. John Mitchell ,
vice presiding elder , In a speech recounted
the crimeof Sam Hose. Some of the min
isters present objected. "That Is the trouble
with eomo of you , " said Dr. Mitchell , "you
do not want to hear of the crime. I really
bellovo that If mich a crime was committed
In this city the people would take the law
Into thtlr own hands nnd would hang the
purpotrator In the face of the law and order.
Wo should not only condemn the burning of
the poor wrtch , but also the terrible crime
ho committed , "

hardly bo safe for Bishop Turner to come
to this section of the state , for feeling runH
high against him , On the night the Cran-
fords were murdered Turner spoke at

of the crime. It Is said his utterances were
bitter In reference to the action of the
Palmetto citizens In killing four negroes.
Ho advised the negroes to stand together.
The next day the negroes assisted Hose In

NE\V YORK , April 24. The Mazet Invest ! ,
gating committee resumed Its sessions todaj
In the rooms of the IJonrd of Trade nnd
Transportation. The early Indication ;
pointed to nn Interesting session. Mr
Croker and his partner , Peter F. Meyer
were on I ho list of witnesses subpoenaed
nnd that list also Included Thomas J. Brady
commissioner of buildings , nnd Police Chlel
Dovery. After today's sessions the commit'
tco expects to adjourn to May 9.
The Ilrst witness was Police Captain
Eason. who has done duty In Brooklyn for n
good many years. The \\ltness said the Now
York City Onicers' Endowment association
was formed In March or April , this year. All
the police captains , Inspectors , deputy chiefs
nnd chiefs belonged to It. The witness salil
all the police force took an interest In the
bill providing for n single-headed police
force while It was pending at Albany.
The endowment association. Captain Enson
said , was a mutual benefit organization , by
which members would receive $1,000 upon
retiring or dismissal from the police force.
Captain Eason denied that In March last
ho addressed his olfleors nnd told them thai
he had been agelsml by this now cndowmcnl
association , and that ns there were no sa
loons or pool rooms to bo taxed In his pre
cinct , which consists almost entirely of the
Brooklyn bridge , they must chip In nnd heir
him out. Captain Kason alleged that he
had not yet been assessed. Chief Dovery
Captain Eason snld , was the president of the
endowment association.
Captain Kason stated that upon the rcccnl
death of Police Captain Worth the endow
ment association had charged all Its mem
hers $13.70 , which went to make up the
$1,000 to Captain Worth's heirs. That was
the only money , except a small amount paid
for stationery , that ho had paid to the ahso
elation. Captain Enson said ho had paid ne
large assessment , such ns $500 , as lutlmntci !
by Mr. Clarke. The witness denied that the
endowment association was a secret ordet
or that It had any deslro for political In
fluence.
Crolier I-\eiiNed 1'ntN . ' .nuiiMl.
Police Inspector Knno was the next wit
ness. He admitted that ho sent n telephone
call for n conference of the captains of his
precinct on the night of February 20 , foi
what purpose he could not remember , but
whatever was the cause of the call was as
signed on the omclal books. Ho had not the
books there. Inspector Kane snld ho took
not the slightest Interest In the pending po-
llco legislation nt Albany. Mr. Clarke's
efforts to get the witness to acknowledge
that the conference of the captains was to
discuss the endowment association or mat
ters political were not successful.
While Inspector Kuno was being examined
Mr. Croker arrived. Mr. Moss told him thai
ho would not bo needed today. Mr. Croker
said he was anxious to go to Europe , us he
had Important business there that would
suffer from his absence , lie said he had
hoped that the committee would finish with
him at once. Mr. Moss had a conversation
with Mr. Mazet , and they gave Mr. Croker
permission to go to Europe , If he would
promise to return before the end of August.
Mr. Croker said ho was willing to accept the
conditions nnd Mr. Moss served him with a
subpoena to appear before the committee on
August 2D.
Inspector Kane was questioned regarding
several alleged pool rooms running In his
precinct. Ho denied knowledge of their ex
istence. The location of these resorts were
given to the witness by Mr. Moss , and the
Inspector said he would look them up.
Police Captain Haughey was then called.
Ho said that at the conference called by Inspector
specter Kane on February 20 the captains ,
Including himself , were given instructions ,
"something about excise , something about
Sunday law. "
The witness denied that the endowment
association was for the purpose of Influenc
ing legislation In favor of the police de
partment.
Police Captain Shechan followed. Ho
knew of no pool rooms nnd was hampered
by no one in the enforcement of the law.
Police Sergeant O'Brien was subjected tea
a lengthy examination , but failed In any way
to connect the endowment association with
political motives. Sergeant Tims followed ,
but his testimony was uninteresting.
Sergeant Tims had an assortment of pa
pers In his pocket which he handed to Mr.
Fallows. Most nf them dealt with the Po
lice Sergeants' 'Endowment ' Benevolent so
ciety.
The value of the evidence , If there was
any , secured from the wltncfB did not trans
pire. Sergeant Tims denied that ft letter
from a Brooklyn assemblyman advising pa
trolmen , sergeants nnd roundsmen Unit no
bills at Albany jeopardized their Interests
was read nt a meeting of the Sergeant * ' Be
nevolent association. Afterward witness
qualified this by saying ho did not remem
ber such n letter being read.
O'llrlen MaltfN MKIIM.
Witness denied that Police Sorgcant
D'Brlon was present at the meeting of the
Sergeants' Benevolent association referred
to. Mr. Mnzet awked If he was In the room.
That olllcer stood up nnd Mr. Fallows asked :
"Won't you go out of the room , Sergeant
O'Brien ? "
"No , elr , " said the policeman promtly.
"Then will you stop making signs to the
witness ? " asked Mr. Fallows.
"I ain't making any signs , " rejoined the
policeman ,
Tims denied that O'Brien had made any
-ilgn to him and Insisted that he , the wit
ness , was a plain , unvarnished Individual.
This was u rejoinder to the remark of Mr.
Moss that Sergeant Tims was "very , very
smooth , "
Tims denied that ho had ever heard any
body eay that It was better to pay the OB-
BetHincnt to the Sergeants' Benevolent as
sociation than to be transferred. The most
anyone paid , witness said , was (1.
'Sergeant John Floyd waa called. Mr.
Jlarko asked him If ho had not been talk
ing to the witnesses as they rumo off the
stand. Floyd said ho had spoken to only
DUO witness and that was Sergeant O'Brien.
Ml O'Drlen had said to him was that ho

Ollhooly snld he had prevlnu ly asked Chief
Hevery what he thought of the Idea of having

effect and the ehlrf hal told him n-it to
It Just now n the mayor would not nppiovo ' S
of It. Chief Devcry had told the commlttco
that It wn.t n bad time to try to get such
an Increase.
.No tiet y on ItiiiinilMiten.
Ollhooly denied that llpvery hid : told th
roundsmen to raise fin nplrcr to defeat the
slimle-hoaded police bill pending nt Albany
nnd he also denied that the chief haJ prom
ised to make their positions ( imminent
should they subscribe that sum. ( Hlhooly
knew of no money having been collected
from the pollco force for political purposes.
All he knew of Btich n matter was that the I
Houmlstnon'A association had what wns
known as a counsel fund to which nil mem
bers had paid $5 dtico the organization of
the society last year. This fund. lu > said ,
was to be used In cases where roundsmen
were reduced to patrolmen on the ground
that the roundsmen did have permanent
rank.
Ollhooly had never heard that roundsmen
were expected to pay $16 , sergeants $23 nnd
captains $500 toward a political fund. Ho
had not hcnrd that the patrolmen hail
"kicked" and snld they would not pay $10
"because the bills did not affect them. "
Mr. Moss then ndtlroHfod the cnmmlttco
paying that an Inspector had been sent from
pollco headquarters to protest against "tho
confinement" of pollco olllccrs who had been
subpoenaed. Mr. Moss stated that tlu pollco
witnesses had been put In n separate room
for their own comfort and that there had
been no Idea of contlnlng them.
Chairman Mazet then announced that th
commission was adjourned until May 8.
