Tho trouble which culminated so tragically Saturday originated years ago in tb refusal of Wright, as president; of the Otter Creek Lumber company, to pay" taxes on his mill property, whi h U located in Aral township. The tawn ha never questioned its right to the taxes, but Wrights steady refusal to pay then and his influence over the rather rough, men in his employ made collection a very diflicult task. Three weeks ago the sheriff seized a number of logs belonging to the Otter Creek trompany, and Cfcrles "Wright made several determined efforts tore gain possession of the stock, but failed, owing to his inability to furnish vhat the authorities deemed a good and sufficient indemnity bond. In consequence of this seizure, the mill has been idle for sometime. Wright put in an appearance at themill with a force of men Saturday s.nd sworr that he would hav possession of the logs. Under Sheriff Marshall and Supervisor Thurber, accompanied by a pottse, wereguarding the property in the interest of tho township, and Marshall trfcd to dissuade Wright from doing anything hasty.; Wright would, not listen to reitson, and ordered his men to release the logs and t shoot tho first man who interfered. Marshall and ihurber drew their revolver and in the na;ne of the State called oiv the mob to disperse and not to mol ?st in any way the property at issue. Wright'a men fell back. Whereupon Wrighte himself, whit3 with rage, made a move toward the logs and the under sheriff dis charged his weapon into tho air. Thd harmless action, was answered by .Wright, who shot to kill, and at the firtit report: Thurb?r fell, shot through tho brain. Marshall called upon his men to anvsfe th murderer and uphold the law. A. moment later he too, fell, mortally woundd. But the mill hands, who had lent Wright some encouragement by their presence, saw the magnitude of the;rime even before its enraged perpetrator, and fell back, leaving him alone. Wright walked away, caressln his 1 irtini ride, and disappeared in the timber back of themill, his friends joining him and planning: at once for his escape. The news of the murdei and the prominence of all parties concerned, spread like wildfire over the country. The sheriff oa

The crowd learned that an Indian knew Wright's hiding place, he was asked to reveal it, but on getting no answer the heavintr line of the propeller Dewar was placed around his neck and he was hung up to a pine tree u.til nearly strangled, and let down to t his stdry.
