THE LAST FEATURE.


After the adjournment of the Court
Stokes entered a carriage with Colonel
John II. Fellows and Hon, John Nc Keon
the prosecuting attorneys in the case.
On his way down he asked whether 1t
was possible that there was no way left
for him to get the better of Fisk. He
drove to Delmonico's, and there the
party separated. Meanwhile the Dis
triot Attorney had brought the attempt
to blsck-mail Colonel Fisk to the atten-
ton of the Grand Jury. On Saturday,
il is said, the Grand Jury brought in an
indictment against both Stokes and Mrs.
Mansfield. II was reported during the
afternoon that bench warrant was out
for the arrest Of Stokes and Mrs. Mans
field, and sent to the Sherff''s office for
service. ..,s..,,lp
After leaving Delmonicos, Stokes
appears to have gone to Mrs. Mansfield s
house, though Mrs, NJ denied that.
They are believed to have conversed
together over an hour Then a ring
was heard at the door, one Of Stokes
friends entered, and announced that the
Grand Jury had found an Indictment,
that warrant was in the hands of
Deputy Sheriff Judson, Jarvis and that
Jarvis was on his way to serve it. A
warrant may have been in existence,
but it was certainly not in Jarvis
hands. .13tl heu.
We are informed that on hearing this
news Stokes los. all control over HIM
self, and declared that Fisk had signed
his death-warrant, or used words OF
similar import. he was in raving
passion, and left the house determined
to murder Fisk at the first opportunity.

200 The Bummer's Paradise. Z lt
A San Francisco newspaper thus ex-
plains-so some of the mysteries uf the free
lunch system: There is a variety Of
the human. race in this city, known to
almost everybody by the expressive title
of hummer, whose highest ambition in
life is to live without exertng either
physical or mental powers to any great
extent! One Of this class will hang
around any of the many drug stores
that line Montgomery street and its out
lets, begging for. a drink, oftentimes
moreF for the purpose of getting at the
lunch than for the drink itself, although
whisky viii please him well if the lunch
Is not handy The individual slips down
the social grade so low that no one
win ask him to imbibe, and has to re-
sort to the most ingenious devices to
procure square meal. One Of this
class has been known to make his living
by entering restaurant and, after, eat
ing his fill, stepping up to the counter and
uttsring the mystic words, I'm ready.
The cashiers natural question would be;

breakfast free of charge. After clearing
away about four bits worth Of mys-
terylI steak, coffee, etc, he was seen to
spread himself all over the floor, and

not the style of man she liked, but she
would get all the money she could from
him, and then let him go. Fisk law
yers further endeayored to show that in

Of the Injunction gTBI
THE THIRD MOVE
was an attempt to show that Stokes and
Mrs. Mansfield were endeavoriDg to
blaek.mail him. Colonel Fisk used an
affidavit of Richard e. King, a colored
boy in Mrs. Mansield's service. This
affidavit purported to detail a converse
tion overheard between Stokes and Mrs.
NJ, relative to Fisk's letters, which Mrs.
Mansfield had placed in Stokes posses
sion. The conversation, if true, proved
that there. was deliberate attempt to
blaek-mail the Colonel out of all the
money possible. Stokes next move was
to prefer charge against Fisk, in po-
lice court, for subornation Of perjury in
inducing King TO swear to his affidavit.
This is the case which has been dragging
along its weary length in Justice Bixby
court during the past few weeks.
THE IMMEDIATE CAUSE OF THE AssAssIYA-
TIoN.
On Friday Judge Brady rendered his
decision continuing his injunction
against the publication Of the letters
This was a bitter blow to Stokes On
the following day Mrs. Mansfelds
charge of suborRstion of perjury was
continued in the Yorkville Police Court.
Mrs. Mansfield and Stokes were both
present. Mrs. Mansfield was placed on
the stand. Her cross-examination was
very severe, Mr.. Fisks lawyers en-
deayored to draw out of her an acknowl-
edgment that the Colonel had picked
her up when she had but one dress in
the world, and not enough money to pay
her rent. They asked her whether she
did not engage thenotorious Miss Woods
to procure for her an introduction to
Colonel Fisk. They endeavored to show
that she was deliberately bleeding Col.
Fisk, and that she afterward said to Miss
Woods that Mr.. Fisk had taken great
fancy to her MRS. Mansfeld) and that
in proof OF her assertion she showed
Miss Woods some costly diamonds and
silk dresses, which she said Fisk gaYe. to
her. They endeavored, to prove that
Miss Woods told Mrs. Mansfield that she
had been with Fisk long enough to have
got more than that if she was smart,
and that Mrs. Mansfield replied that she
did not mean to beat him too fast They
endeayored to make Mrs, Mansfield sd-
NIT that she told Miss Woods that

Of dyspeptcs and other invallds are now languish-

more inlmical than the roughs and rowdes, against
whose possible attacks the timid arm themselves
are the morbid elements that pervade the atmos-

is undenied and undeniable fact that Hostetters

against these of disease, than any weapon of
tence can afford against awless violence, the reck-
less and inconsderae continue to brave the danger
with positive safeguard within their reach
Every day, however, the number Of these martyrs
