A Determined Mob.

Mike Cuddigan and his wife were
taken from the guard at Ouray, Col.
Friday night and hanged. The sher-
Iff and several men guarded the
prisoners but were overpowered by a
well organized body IT fierce looking
determined men. CuddIgan and his
wife had adopted a sweet little girl
of ~ years, named Mary Rose
Matthews, from St. Vincent's Or
phan House at Denver. They treated
her cruelty and finally murdered and
buried her but were caught just as
they were starting to leave the coun-
try. The doomed man and his wife
when they realized their time had
come, cursed and prayed and beg
ged. They protested their innocence
and made piteous appeals for life but
their pitiful means and cries were
UNDECIDED. and they were hastily car
ried a short distance and hung until
dead. A brother of Mrs. Cuddigan,
named Carroll was put IN a carriage
by the mob, and driven off and
perhaps met the same fate.

LOUISIANA, Mo-, Jan. 19.-Ihe
post-ofice in this city was burglar
lied last night. The thieves entered
by the ear door and drilled a hole
through the safe door opposite the
lock, which they succeeded in turning
and the safe was soon opened for
their inspection. About 600 two-cent
stamps, 5000 one-cent stamps and
100 fve-cent stamps was taken. The
registered letters rifed and
about SIS distracted from them.
There was a gold watch and a pair OF
gold bracelets in one of the registers,
but the burglars were doing business
on a cash basis and they did not
care for jewelry, and 80 they left
them behind. The job was evidently
done by experienced artists in the
business. No clew has yet been dis

HE DIDN'T FLAG THE TRAIN.
Big Bill Dempsey Taught Jim Ransom
Lesson Which He Will Never
Forget.

A few engineers and firemen were sit
ting around a coil of steam pipe in the
round-house telling their yarns. Among
them was a pale young man who had lost
his health in a dry goods store and had
just engaged as an extra fireman.
81 never was so mad," said Big Bill
Dempsey, "as I was when 1 licked Jim
Ransom fur not flaggin' me-"
"When was that?" asked one of the
firemen.
"Le's see," said Bill, thoughtfully,
''that was in '79--the year they put in
the Clarion side-track."
"For what offense did you punish
him?" asked the pale young man.
"HAy?"
what did you whip him for?"
"Waal," said Bill, "the confunded eliot
stopped down in the Kewanee boiler, an
never sent no man back to flag me. 1
was a comm down the hill lickety-split
when 1 seen his way car. l had the old
49, with twenty-four cars, an I hadn't

way an give him the e~ternalest wallopin'
he ever got"
"Why did you not report him to the
superintendent, and have him removed fol
such gross car~elessness?" asked the pale
young man.
"Say, look a-here, young Teller, III
give you a dead straight pointer" re-
piled Bill. eff you're a-coming On this
road with them sort o. ideas, the quicker
you don't come the better fur you. Il
it's good health you want, you jest rent
