LUCRETIA B. CLARK FOUND.
Had Been Working as a Servant in Fltch
hurg, Mass.
Miss Lucretia Clark, the school teacher
who so mysteriously disappeared from Plain
field, N. J., on Friday morning, August 9,
has been found. She was discovered at the
home of ex-Mayor Charles S. Hayden. Fitch
burg, Mass., by Detective Louis J. Beck, of
New York, who has been at work on the
case.
Since Miss Clark's disappearance from
Plainfield John E. Swaet, her brother-in-law.
who resides in Syracuse. N. Y , had followed
up every clue available. He proceeded to
New York, and Detective Beck was placed in
charge of the case.
The detective made himself well acquaint
ed with the habits of the woman. The first
thing he did was to trace her from Plainfield
to New York.
Detective Beck states that the woman be
came mentally deranged, and knew nothing
of -what occured after leaving a great de
partment store. She had wandered into a
Sixth avenue elevated train, and not until
she reached Cortlandt street did she descend.
Unconscious of her actions, she boarded a
night boat bound for Providence over the
Stonington line. When she reached Boston
Miss Clark went to a small boarding house
on Tremont street.
On the morning of August 10 she appeared
at an employment bureau and asked for a
position as a domestic. She got a place in
the Hayden family of Fitchburg. There she
gave her name as Mary Burke, and from that
time until discovered Miss Clark never left
the house, attending to her duties as a do
mestic in the closest manner.
The general appearance of Miss Clark
since she left Syracuse is greatly changed.
Part of her hair has been cut short and she
was apparently demented.
Miss "Clark, who had been a teacher in the
Baird School in Norwalk, Conn., went to
Plainfield to start a fashionable school for
girls about three weeks ago. She left Plain
field with five fifty dollar M1L3, to negotiate
in New York City the purchase of furniture
;for the school. Since then all trace of her
was lost.
A Reserve of Nearly 8660,000,000.

000,000 is silver. This is not only the largest
reserve in the world, but it has never b,-eu
paralleled in the history of finance.

Four Prisoners!

I
About 1 o'clock a. m. a crowd of 250 men
gathered at Yreka, Cal., to lynch the four
murderers in the county jail. The Sheriff had
no intimation of their coming. Small groups
from all over Siskiyou County began to ar
rive on the outskirts of the town about 9
o'clock. Atl a. m. the crowd secured an old
iron rail at the depot and carried it to the
Court House square, placing it between two
trees. The local police were called away by
a false alarm, and by the time they returned
they realized the Intention of the crowd.
The Chief of Police went to the engine
house to ring the fire alarm bell, but found
that the ropes had been cut. He then went
to the jail, but the mob had already arrived
and in 'such numbers that the police were
powerless. A number of men. all masked,
awakened Under Sheriff Radford at the
Sheriff's office, in the Court House, and
demanded the keys of the jail from
him. He positively; refused to open the
door or give up the keys. Finding that
Radford was immovable the jnob went
across to the jail and got on top of the stone
wall which surrounds it. 'Deputy Sheriff
Brautlacht, who sleeps in the jail, fired two
shots two alarm the city marshal, thinking
some of the prisoners were trying to escape.
Then he opened the doors and was immedi
ately seized by the mob, who entered the
jail. Having no keys to the cells,
they were compelled to smash the
locks with sledge hammers. Law
rence H. Johnson, who stabbed his wife to
death on July 23, was first to receive the
attention of the mob. They broke the lock
from the door of the cell, placed a rope
around his neck, and led him out of the jail
and aeross the street to where the iron rail
was laid between the fork3 of two trees.
Johnson pleaded for mercy, but the silent
gathering gave no heed' to his appeals. He
was quickly strung up, dying from strangu
lation. I
The mob then returned to the jail and
broke into the cell of William Null, who shot
Henry Hayton at Callahan's on April 21.
Null asked to make a statement, but the mob
refused to listen, and he was soon hanging
beside Johnson.
THE LABOR WORLD.
Louis Moreno, who
killed George Sears,
was next taken out and hanged. The last
and youngest of the four was Garland Sem
ler, aged nineteen, who killed Casper Moier
haus at Bailey Hill. j A rope was placed
around his neck, and in a few minutes he
was hanging beside his companions. About
this time Sheriff HoWW arrived on the scene,
but was met by several of the mob, who no
tified him that "the job was finished." By
this time the greater part of the mob had
disappeared, leaving only a few on guard.
Soon these departed also, and the square was
deserted. I
Colored Men Hang a Colored Man.
A mob composed of about a dozen men
all colored, took Harrison Lewis, colored
from the jail at Springfield, Ky.. and hanged
him to a tree in the Court House yard.
About 11 o'clock p. m. they attacked the
jail and , demanded the key3 of Jailer
Smith, who, having j been warned of
their approach, escaped out of the
back door with the keys. . The mob,
nothing daunted, repaired to a neighboring
blacksmith shop, procured a sledge hammer
and other tools, and began battering down
the doora. It took three hours hard work
to reach their victim, but their determina
tion never wavered in the least, and at two
o'clock in the morning he was hanged. The
crime for which Lewis was lynched wa3 a
most cowardly murder.:
