COMPRESSED.

Tucker Eastman, now confined in Jail ut
Kansas City for being implicated in the eee-
brated Glendale train robbery. has always
been very reticent In the presence Of report
ers. But few days since he divulged some
very interesting secrets, and probably the
only true story ever published: He stated
that he was drawn into the robbery by Jesse
James, Ed. Miller and three others. whose
names he refused to give. They came to his
house at night and pictured to him the heaps
Of gold he would receive, but this did not
influence him to so so much as the fear that
Jesse James would put bullet through his
head il he refused. The party. he said, met
ut Tom Seayers' school house three miles
south of Glendale and rode from there TO
Glendale. where they captured the telegraph
Office and piled stone upon the track. As
soon the tram came up they fired about
thirty shots, but none with the intention Of
hurting anybody Jesse James and Ed. Mil
Ter entered the express car and attended TO
Grimes the messenger, and the rest Of the
party stood outside aud fired their pistols
After the money was secured they went TO
vacant house on the Green-Jehnson farm and
divided the spols, Eastman receiving $4,000 |
for his share. After this they all separated, |
Jesse James telling those who lived in the !
vicinity TO go home and go to work. and no |
one would suspect them. Every thing moved |
smoothly until Bashman'- half brother, Smith, /
become angry at him. and gave the whole
hing away.--OTtexa Rspaliteaa.

preparing to go to prss. late on Thursday
night, of last week, lamp was overturned.
through carelessncss of one of the boys, and
the oil running out caught fire. The devil
caught up the lamp and started for the door,
but the flames burned his hands he pitched
the lamp down stairs, breaking it and >trew-

flames spread over the woodwork with light

DENVER, October 3l.-A great riot is rag.
ing in Denver this afternoon. About one
O'Clock a couple Of Irishmen met Chinaman
on the street and commenced to abuse him.
The Chinaman drew knife aud seriously
wounded one Of the crowd. The police at
this moment arrived and saved the China
mans life from the Infatuated mob. A large
crowd had now gathered and rushed to that
part Of WaZee street known as Chinatown,
where. in spite Of the efforts Of the police.
they broke into laundries and opium dens
and dragged the inmates into the street.
Ropes were brought and placed around the
poor wretches necks: they were about TO be
strung up at the nearest lamp post when po-
lice re-enfOrcements arrived and rescued
them from the rioters. Mayor SOpris, who
was acting Chief of Police. appointed Gen.
ID. J. Cook, Of the Rocky Mountain Detect
i've Association, Us chief, who swore in an
extra force Of 100 men to put down the mob.
During the afternoon, by order of the Mayor,
all saloons were closed, with orders to re-
main so until after election. At o'clock in
the evening the riot was at its height. The
streets for blocks around Wazce street were
fillei with men, AMI shouts, yclls and pistol
shots filled the air. The Mayor addressed
the crowd, rsking them to disperse. He was
greeted with cries and shous of s.That's
what you said in California" ''The Chinese
must CO." etc. Brick PomerOy, editor of the
Great West, spoke. and was listened to with
more respect, but could not succeed in dis
pcrsing the crowd. The Chinese houses wero
completely Quilted. Several attempts were
made to fire the ruins. Nearly all the China
men have been locked up in the county Jail
for protection. Many are badly injured. and
one had his ears cut off. Two ringleaders of
the mob, Mckinney Cowber and James Kcr-
rigan. have been arrested.
At Top. IN. the crowd found laundry that
had hitherto escaped, and hanged one of the
inmates. This is the only one known to be
killed, so far. The riot is still raging, and
the militia are under orders in the armory,
but will not be called ont except in the last
extremity.-Giobe-D Democrat.
