Sunday proved an unusually aVe'y "a
around the Court House, and during III
forenoon no less than nine prisoners wer
added TO the already large number con
lined in the County Jail. Sheriff Sullivan
now has probably the hardest gan Q
boarders which have ever graced the tank
OF the prison, and he and his deputies ar
kent continually on the alert to Offset the'
MANY schemes to regain their liberty. vi
Saturday all OF the cells were given t
thorough search for the purpose OF ascer
tanning il there were any toolsstored away
b,t none were found. The following vii
give some idea OF the crimes WHICH causeo
the Large addition to bis boarders yester
day:
A BRUTAL OUTRAGE.
Early yesterday morning the Elm C''
saloon. which is located on the Meader'
Vile road, near the Parrot smelter' wal
the scene OF one of the most brutal oatraget
over perpetrated In this section. Inc mousse
which was still open, was entered by our
men. who were each to a greater Or less ex-
tent intoxicated. and they immediatel!
souobt q quarrel with the proprietor,
Cha rles Ebert. In addition to being asma''
man. Ebert is q cripple, having but one leg
He was pulled from behind the oar by tht
burly brutes, knocked down and kicked
and stamped. and they beat and cut with
BOTTLES and glasses until he was so horr1n'y
mutilated as to be almost unrecognl1aD'e
Then the men proceeded to rob the money

goods AS they desired, the men departed.
laa wing their victim in an unconscious con-
dition on the floor. He wal soon a1ter
found and medical assistance rendered. but
h;s wounds we're of so severe q character
that up to a late hour he remained speech
less and in a semi.unconsious condition.
About 10 o'clock last night some OF the
friends OF Ebert applied for and obtained
from Justice Lippincott a warrant Tor the
arrest OF the perpetrators OF the crime, whose
names are Samuel Martin, Hugh Mcmillan
lanes McGedwig and William O'Neil. The
warrant was placed in the hands OF Con-
stables Gilbert Engel and Thomas Judge.
and they at once proceeded to the CABIN
occupied by the men which is located near
the Parrot smelter. All four were there
when the officers arrived, and one OF the m
with d club made hn attempt TO
stand them off, but a pair OF pistols
soon convinced him that the men
were not there to be triied with, and he
dropped his club and ran. The other
three were then arrested after a short par
Low snd taken to the County Jail, where
they will be held to await the result OF the
injuries. Later in the afternoon the fourth
man was arrested and placed in conflne-
ment. The cabin was searched Tor the
stolen gods, but none were found, the sup
position being that they had concealed
them elsewhere. The affair created consid-
cradle excitement when it became known.
for the victim had a large circle OF acqualnt-
ances and was well liked. Last night he
removed to the Sisters Hospital, where ne
will have care and attention that his crltl-
cal condition demands.
STRUCK IT RICH.
John Helling, a young man recently from
England, on Saturday night, became over
loaded with whisky and went to the house
Of his uncle, Thomas Thomas, where he
pulled off his coat and rolled up his sleeves
above his elbows, and armed with a stove
leg. threatened to annihilate everybody
within reach. Chief Mikeljohn and Officer
Mcdonald were summoned to quiet him.
When they reached the house, he again
showed fight, and Mcdonald forced the
door in and ''lit" upon the fighter like a
thousand Of brick. The offender was
quickly thr,wn cut of the house, when he
fell into the hands OF the Chief. He still
maintained his desire for d fight, but after
measuring the full length Of his back upon
the cold ground, and being considerably
shaken up, he was safely LANDED in the
county Jail.
A STAN UP.
Saturday night Manuel Hauswirth, a
brother OF Simon, was going along Main
street about 10 o'clock, when he was or
dered to throw up his hands, which he re-
used to do, and by showing considerable
pluck managed to stand the would-be rob-
Der of, forcing him to leave. Subsequently
the two men met in the Axiom, and the
would-he holder-up made overtures to MIR.
to settle the affair up, but the
police were called in, and he was lodged in
in the county Jail, where he gave the
OF John Brown, which is probably an
alias.
BORROWING WOOD.
Early Yesterday morning Marshal Stoner
vas proving around in the vicinity OF
he Electric Light Works. and he saw a
ouple OF men fooling around a pile ofwood
II the gulch. To them he concluded to pay
