The estimated production of soft coal during the week ending with June Cth is placed at 8,385,060 net tons. Following a holiday week with curtailed time thin represents a recovery of over two hundred Ihousund tons. When compared with the recent six days period of May 18lh to 23d, however, total output during the week ended June 6th shows a decrease of sixty-si- x thousand tons or about 1 per cent Total production for the calendar year to date now stands at 206,103,000 net tons. Estimated production of anthracite during the week ended June 6th is 1,674,000 net tons, a decrease of 2.8 per cent when compared with the preceding week and 9.3 with the corresponding week of 1924. The cumulative total for 1925 up to June 6th amounts to 39,933,000 tons or 1.6 per cent less than in the same period of 1924. Production during the week ended May 30th decreased approximately three hundred thousand tons because of Memorial Day holiday. The extent of the curtailment in the several states is shown in the detailed figures below. It was natural that the union districts, in which Memorial Day is generally observed as a holiday, should show a greater decrease than the where it is commonly not observed. Ohio declined 10 per cent, but in Kentucky it actually increased. Because of the uncertainties introduced by the holiday it is not possible to compare the daily rate of production by states for the week of May 30th. To make possible comparisons with the May averages for 1923 and 1924 the average daily rate for the week of May 23d is therefore shown. (See last colnon-unio- n, E FOR WASHINGTON, I).

By Crowd and Swung Up Lynched by a mob! Reader, just what does that convey to yonr mind? Lynch to inflict punishment, especially death, aa when a mob hangs a bus- That is the definition of Webster. But there is that word pected person. mob. Again it is asked just what do you understand by a "mob?" Usually one assocates this word with a crowd of strangers disorderly, violent undesirables, bent on committing acts from which the "decent" folks of the community withdraw and which are disparaged by all "reputable" citizens. Bat had one glanced over the assembly whoae members took by force the o slayer of CasUe Gates city marshal from the arresting officers as they arrived with him at the county jail yesterday (Thursday) you would have seen your neighbors, your friends, the tradespeople with whom you are wont to barter day by day, public employes, folks prominent in church and social circles, and yonr real conception of a "mob" might have undergone a radical turnover. Without any particular show of violence a crowd of some fifty or more people, its members rapidly increasing, surrounded the car in which Henry East peace officer and deputy sheriff from Castle Gate had brought Robert Marshall to Price about 10 oclock yesterday morning for the purpose of placing him in jaiL Already provided with a rope and evidently with a purpose well defined these men surrounded the guards left in the car while East stepped into the sheriffs office, ana taking the auto without letting Marshall out of it drove rapidly east on Main street. The crowd assembled in many cars and started ont of town to the eastward. At least a hundred autos followed within the next twenty minutes. Turning off on a aide road a couple of miles out, the crowd strung Marshall np on a tree on the Critchlow farm and it was only a few moments until his dead body jangled limply from the rope and the crowd begun to scatter. No attempt at concealment was made by any member of the lynching party. In fact, participation in the affair seemed to be a matter of boasting. In the excitement of the moment some of the principals in the event were so carried away that they glorified themselves with, such expressions as "it's a proud day for me that I helped pull the rope." Inexperience added to the "difficulties" of the executioners. When it was seen that Marshall still breathed after being hanged it was suggested that he be shot. "No, let him suffer!" This was the cry of the "mob." At this juncture a car arrived holding three deputy sheriffs, S. E. Garrett, Lee Bryner and Mack Olson. Their own machine had been parked in front of the courthouse, but was taken by the crowd. Garrett at once loosed the rope from the post to which it was tied, letting the half dead negro down. Prices city marshal, Warren 8. Peacock, who was with the deputies, removed the rope from Marshalls neck and the officers started to pnt him in their car, which they had located at the scene. The mob took the negro away from them, rearranged the rope and he was again hoisted. Letting his body hang so that his feet were just off the ground the rope was tied to a poet. Then the slack was taken np and suddenly released, this being repeated several times after which the crowd seemed satisfied that life had fled. At this period the first and earlier arrivals were leaving, bnt the highway was still crowded with cars hurrying to the scene. Automobiles carrying all members of a family were observed, along with "bugs," trucks, business card and all manner of conveyances holding all kinds and classes of people. After the lapse of half an hour the sheriffs men were allowed to take possession of the negro's body, and it was brought in to the Flynn mortuary establishment. Nothing has as yet been arranged for its final disposal. Dr. R. M. Jones in his capacity as county physician examined the body and pronounced Marshall dead. He also said that the negrojs neck is broken. Marshalls capture came about in what might be said to be a most com monplace way.All places which it was thought might offer him a refuge were watched closely by the sheriffs forces and this evidently had its effect, for he was so exhausted and hungry that under cover of darkness during dnesday night he sneaked into the cabin at Castle Gate which he had d with Gray previous to the murder. This was reported by the letter the house was surrounded by six men acting under Deputy Sheriff Henry t. Marshall, having fed, was in bed and was caught by suprise, being in without a battle. He was loaded into a car and brought to Price, shing the courthouse where the jail is located at about 10 oclock yes-la-y (Thursday) forenoon. Here, before he could be taken inside, the vd forced East and his assistants to give the negro over to them.
