The whole country is going wild over the fight between law and order on the one hand and lawlessness on the other, and recruits for both sides are arriving hourly from the adjoining counties.

Scene of the Buttle.

Twenty-eight miles from any telegraph station and in the heart of the mountains reposes the little town of ttakersville. "Mountain dew" makers have for years plied their vocations there, only now aud then being temporarily disturbed by the revenue officers. They have been brought up to have little or no respect for the law, and murders have been of most frequent occurrence.

Cause of (he Trouble.

Calvin Snipes, Aaron Wiseman and William Sneed last August were partners in an illicit distillery. Isaac Osborne and William Osborne discovered the distillery and reported it to the revenue officers at Harkersville. The owners suspected the Osbornes as the informers and decided on a plot to murder them secretly.

Wiseman and Snipes went to the house of Isaac Osborne on the night of August 27 and called liim out. Osborne came to the door and they opened fire with shotguns, riddling him with buckshot. Wiseman was tried before a justioe of the peace and sufficient evidence could not be obtained against him, whereupon his discharge was ordered. Snipes was tried before a justice of the peace and bound over to the court. After being in jail a few weeks Snipes confessed and told the whole story. When Wiseman heard this he left the country.

Hrother* Determined on Kereng-e. Ever since the murder the brothers of the dead man have been untiring in their efforts to arouse the public for vengeance. William Osborne never ceased circulating petitions until he fell, early Wednesday morning, while leading the party which was storming the jail. To his last petition he secured nearly 500 names, but they were hard to ffet centered at ISakersville. Osborne redoubled liis efforts Tuesday, and by his couriers succeeded in getting a mob of nearly 400 men together near the little city. The sheriff, knowing what was coming, doubled the number of his guards, saw that their arms were in perfect order.and took every precaution to beat off an attack. It was after midnight when the mob was ready to move upon the jail.

The Fight JScgins.

Firing commenced soon after, and a pitched battle followed immediately between the mob, armed with all kinds of weapons, and the deputies of the sheriff. Almost at the first volley William Osborne, who led the attack, was killed, and a few minutes following this John Osborne also fell dead The jail is located to the rear of the courthouse, which is surrounded by a small square. The jailyard is surrounded by an iron fence, but the small force of the sheriff could not beat back the onslaught of the attacking party. The first rush carried the mob to the door of the jail, *nd they did not long stand before the

MORE TROUBLE IN 1'TTOSPECT. JOH^ON CITY, Tenn., Jan. 8.—At least twenty-two men killed, perhaps more many others wounded, and probably a ricli crop of feuds for the futuro is the bloody summing' up of a successful attempt to lynch Calvin Snipes, the murderer of Isaac Osborne, at Hakersville, the county seat of Mitchell county, one of the wild mountain counties of

North Carolina. Eleven of the dead men were members of ths sheriff's posse, the others were with the mob. The fight began at the doors of the county jail and continued through the main streets of the town until the officers of the law ware beaten off, and the unfortunate criminal was at the mercy of the infuriated men who sought his life. They made short work of him and returned to wreak vengeance on the officers of the law for their leader's death.

battering of sledges. Meanwhile the immediate body of attaches were protected by a fusillade from sharpshooters, who were stationed at windows of the courthouse where they could pick off the defenders and prevent greater loss to the mob. When the jail doors gave in the sheriff's men retreated to the rear and the firing ceased for the time. The battle raged until II, nearly half the number of the deputies had fallen dead in their tracks and several of the others had been badly wounded.

Then the mob, with a yell of triumph, entered the jail, battered down the cell door and led the unhappy Snipes away to his doom.

Buttle In tlie Streets.

The noise of the conflict had aroused the townspeople and they came out armed with squirrel rilles and shotguns. As tlie mob started down the main street toward a woods half a mile away the sheriff had rallied his forces and made an attack to rescue the prisoner. The battle in the streets was more bloody than that at the jail, but the loss was principally on the side of the mob.

Snipes Pat to Death.

They retreated with their prisoner while the sheriff's men kept up

LAXSINO,

Mich., Jan. 5.—Both

branches of the legislature convened Wednesday noon aud organized for business. The only other business transacted was the action of Senator Weiss in giving notice of the introduction at some future day of a bill to repeal the Miner electoral law.

There is but little change in the senatorial situation, both sides continue confident and each believes it has added cause for rejoicing. The election of W. A. (iatcum, of Grand Rapids, as speaker of the house is claimed by the Stockbridge men as a victory which indicates the strength of their candidate for senator.

she is unwilling to in any way divide the populists forces or rondei possible the election of anyone not in full affiliation with tlie party's principles. The person elected should be a "middle-of-the-road populist.'1 This means that she will support Mr. lireidenthal ah against any other populist, and particularly against Judge John Martin, fusion democrat. Indeed, at this time it looks as though the populists would refuse to support any man with the taint of democracy, as Mrs. Lease and her followers have declared the same war upon that party they have upon the republicans.

ST. PAT r„ Minn., Jan. 5—The republicans of the legislature settled the Minnesota senatorial question shortly after 8 o'clock Wednesday evening.

WltHAl) WORK Or GAS.

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.—An explosion of natural gas in Donahue A- ilermcberry's printing establishment Wednesday afternoon maimed a score of firemen and laborers. Home of these may die. Half of them are seriously injured, not the len&t among them beiu£ Kire Marshal Swcnie. himself, who had a narrow escape from the full force of the explosion. The total nmnVier hurt, is thirty-one.

Cmiw or th* IM.Hstcr.

The explosion was in the plate vault of the immense printing and publishing establishment of Donahue & llenneberry. extending from 407 to 4'Ju on the east side of Dearborn street. The vault is located immediately beneath the sidewalk, which is formed of heavyiron frames covered with jrlass and iron. During thu early part of the afternoon three employes of the natural gas company had been at work in this vault, making connections that were to be used in supplying the boiler plant with fuel. As a prect ition the doors of the vault were closed. Shortly after i! o'clock Foreman Robert Granger, who was in charge of the men at work in the press room which adjoins the vault, noticed (lames in the vicinity of the brick wall which extended between the press room and the vault. These llaines had the appearance of igniting gas that had escaped through the faulty partition wall.

The First Kxplo*ion.

Without waiting to open the vault .doors the employe* and foreman ran upstairs and gave, an alarm of tire. They theu returned to the basement, when bouie one, the flames still being noticeable, threw open the vault, door.

Instantly there as a tremendous explosion aud nearly all of the employes who were in the vicinity, about ten .in number, were thrown to the door, all sustaining more or serious injuries. Within a few moments .members of the lire insurance patrol and 'hose engine companies who were on the spot headed by Ch ei' Sw enie rushed to the basement for t.h«' purpose if pos--iidr. of preventing the spread of the llaiues lo Hie air and eleyjtin shafts." 1 cmeu I'.ui iomI. -.They had no vu-ner r«\*tehed "the vicinity of the vault floor than a second and even stronger e.\pioio. followed and the iiremen. as the employes of the firm before them, were hurled with erriih- force to the Jloor. With clothes on tire and the exposed portions of their bodies roasted ami lorn, they were at once rescued by the fresh arrivals and borne to drug stores in Lite vieiuitv. While they were UeingtaUen from tin4 basement, and within' a few seconds of the other explosions, came the third overwhelming combustion of the pent-up gases, mid the already loosened iron work covering, the vault was torn from its fastenings. Chief

Swcnie had not yet left the basement, and while those of the injured about him were caring for those who suffered from a third explosion he gave-orders for the men to retire from the vicinity of the vault. JL. was none too soon, for as they did so came tlie fourth and last thunderous report which tore apart the sides of the vault and hurled the iron plates of .the massive sidewalk into the street.

Caring !'«»r the injured.

The gas was finally shut off and within a few moments what tire there was was placed under control, but the south end of the immense building had been strained and torn and the heavy plate glass in the eight stories was lying in great masses on the street below. Most of the injured men were removed to the drug store of Roper Baxters, at the. corner of Dearborn and Har rison streets, where thousands of people had blockaded the streets, ami to tfiis place all the physicians in the vicinity had been summoned together with the ambulances. After having their injuries attended to the unfortunate men were taken to their homes.

Tlie Monetary l.om.

The 000 employes in the building made their escape without injury, ami although badly frightened made their exit in an orderly manner. Tlie loss to the building will be between $15,000 and S'iO.OOO, fully covered by insurance. This was mostly caused by the breaking of plate glass, all the glass in the first four stories of the building being broken.

BANDIT WYATT ESCAPES.

Member of tlie Oalton Gang Slip* Out of tlie (Juthrle Jail. C.UTHRIK, O. T., Jan. 5.—Ellsworth Wyatt, the member of the Dalton gang who was captured in Indiana after along chase and brought here to answer for various crimes and who is also wanted at Oreensburg, Kan., for murder, escaped from the jail here Tuesday evening.

While the services were in progress, Wyatt slipped past the guards and made good his escape without attracting attention.
