ANOTHER REVENGE CIRCULAR.
Probability of Further Arrest of Chi
cago AnaI chists.


inspector Bonfeld, Of Chicago, has now in
his possession copies of what purpor,s to be n
credit newspaper, but which is in reilty a
secret circular, differing but little from the
famous Revenge" circular with which Aug
ust Spies called the fatal Haymsrket meeting
together two years ago Last May. The main
difference is that the paper, which is
termed "The Revenge" calls for active steps
on the part Of old time Anarchists to revenge
the execution of Spies, Ling, Engel and Fls-
cher. 1t was learned that this paper is teing
distributed secretly among tho Anarchist
groups, and that although it purports to he
printed in a foreign land, II Is really issued in
Chicago 1t is said to be not improbable that
the discovery Of this sheet will lead to the
arrest of prominent Anarchists, not only in
Chicago, but all over the country, and that
the police are only waiting until their chain
Of evidence shall have teen completed.
Chief Hubb,rd says that sooner or later in
searching the houses Of suspected Reis for
dynamite he or some of his men will run
against snag. BY this he means that some
cunning and revengeful Anarchist will fix up
an old trunk or box so that it will so Off
whom opened and blow the Who'll, searching
party into eternity. II this happens it is
sure that the contriver Of the internal ma
chine will be killed at the same tim., for
here after, it is intimated, that the police will
insist that the suspected man shall do the
searching himself und r the direction and
supervision Of the police. No more force will
be ussi than is necessary to accomplish this
result, but its use will b. considered 10 ,iti-
mate in such cases.

would pay the bill. The Indian prom

danger, neglected to go. The Indian
again came, and asked him why he did
not come, and kindly rcproved him for

hour for meeting. The white man went,
and found his Indian friend, who had u
musket, n knapsack and provisions
ready. Pointing TO them, he told tho
whito man TO take them and follow him
After several days travel tho white
