popular fury was such that governor
Warfield deemed It prudent to havi

Jail for protection.

kept secret, even from those who w
to accompany the sheriff and culprit
as deputies and witnesses. To carry
out this purpose Sheriff Brown ap
peared in Baltimore Wednesday after
noon late, placed his prisoner aboard
a steamer of the Maryland oyster
navy and immediately sailed dow n the
bay. He. took with him a gallow
which had been borrowed from Balti
more county and also a coffin, and was
prepared to hang Lee on the deck of
the vessel after reaching the waters
of Somerset county should there be
any signs of a mob on shore.
At an early hour Thursday morn-
lag the steamer appeared oft Smith’
Island, the prisoner was speedily tak
en ashore and the scaffold quickly
ereoted by a carpenter who had been
brought from Baltimore for that pur
pose. The culprit, accompanied by
hie spiritual adviser, was led up the
scaffold, the noose was adjusted and
the execution was quickly over.

Landis Also Announced that Suita
ble Provision Would Be Made for I
Dowie on Account of Hit Services |
as Trustee.
Chicago. July 27.—Judge Landis, of I
the district court, gave his decision
Friday in the controversy between the
adherents of John Alexander Dowie [
and Wilbur Voliva over the property
at Zion City.
The court holds that Zton City
and its Industrials do not belong to I
Dowie,. “that Dowie had no right to |
treat the property as his own.”
The court refused to appoint Alex
ander Granger receiver for the rea-1
son that Granger made a vow recog
nizing Dowie as ”a messenger of the I
covenant, the prophet foretold by
Moses and Elijah the restorer” to |
which vow "all family ties and obli
gations and all relations to human gov
ernments shall be held subordinate.” I
The court said he was not obliged to |
repose confidence in a man so con
stituted that, living in this republic I
he would serenely vow his readiness
at all times to abandon his family and |
betray his country.
The court ordered an election on the |
third Tuesday of September of a gen-
ertil' overseer, all members of the I
church residing in Zton Clty| male
and female, to have one vote. He
announced that suitable provision
would be made for Dowie on account |
of his services as trustee.
John C. Hately was appointed re-1
cehj-r at Zion. His bonds were [
placed at 125,000. The adjudication
in the bankruptcy proceedings against |
Dowie was set aside.
