Tragic Death of Fannie PiersOn. of
Denver---lIer Downfall and sad

Tragic Death of Fannie Pierson. o
Denyer--Her Downfall and Sa,
Ending.
News was yesterday received in Rocl
Island which caused a shock to grea
many who had known Fannie Pierson in
her lifetime. 1t was that she had com
mitted suicide at Denver by means o
Rough on Rats" 1t was two years agt
that Fannie, then pretty girl of four
teen, bid farewell to her widowed mother
in this city and went TO Denver. She
was accompanied by an older sister ant
the girls were warmly received by DR.
Cable Birdsall and wife, and in due time
were legally adopted by that couple. #
was In the house of her benefactors thai
Fannie took that fatal dose last Saturday
morning, and for fourteen hours there,
after she writhed in the tortures of he,
own inflicted death. The foster mother
is almost distracted with grief over the
horrible affair.
A special dispatch says that just few
minutes before the girl died and when she
realized that her life was fast ebbinp
away, the little unfortunate whispered to
her foster mother the sad story of her be
trayal. She said that James McDaniels.
a comedian, had for months logged her
footsteps and strived to lead her astray
n this he had at last succeeded To sc.
complish his evil design he is all eyed to
have secured the assistance of Mrs. Ma
son, who figured in famous Colorado
murder trial some years ago.
Mechanics was arrested Sunday after
noon at the instigation of the district
attorney. He denied all knowledge of
the little girl. BY little Fannie's diving
statement, which is corroborated by Mrs
Mason and Miss Barker, it appears that
on the night of August McDaniels es
corted Fannie and an older woman to
The olympic theatre where they occupied
a box. He bought wine and they ner-
suaded the girl to drink it freely. She
remained away from home all night, nor
did she return there until 5 O'Clock Sat,
uriay morning, when she Immediately re-
tired to her room and ended her unhappy
existence. Arrangements had been made
Al the Birdssll residence for burial Sun
day afternoon, but the coroner refused to
grant the permit until a post mortem ex>
animation and inquest were held At a
late hour the woman Emma Baker was
also placed under arrest. The special
also says the occurrence has created 4
iurore OF indignation in Denver and the
alleged participants il the crime are con.
temned in the most severe terms.
The mother of the suicide lived for a
"hS Time IN the upper story Of the post.
'itlce building. Then her daughters were
WITH her, but she was afterward obliged
o give them up because she was unable to
import them. Since their departure she
las been acting as nurse and housekeeper
md more recently she has been living a
eclnded life in cottage near Chippian
lock cemetery. Her daughters fate has
naturally shocked and grieved her terribly, |
'lthough two weeks ago she received a
etter from the girl in which she intima,
ed that she WAS in trouble and that I'M
ess she obtained a remedy would do
omething desperate. But the mother
lever dreamed of the awful thought that
vas in her daughters mind.

HEWITT AND FLAGS.

Tho Mayor OF Now York Lectures the Board
the Irish Flag Inciient.
New YORK, April 1l.-Mayor Hewitt yes
terday transmitted to the Common Council
. stirring message disappearing the resolu--
ton taking from the mayor the power d.
recting what flags should be displayed up
on public buildings. In it he showed that
while the Irlshborn population amounted
to l6 45 per cent, "a per cent. Of the Board
OF Aldermen were Irish, or more than,
one and one-half tines the normal
ratio of representation, and that the same
ratio Of representation prevailed in all the
departments, except the police, where %. 10
were irish born-nearly double the normal
percentage. This, he declared, was at the
expense Of the German element. He gave a
tabulated account of national representa-
tons in offices and in charitable institu-
tiOns, and then stated that he did not
publish the tables to invoke comment. but
declared that under this free government
and boundlesS resources, the Irish malcon-
tents should exhibit modest restraint in
claiming new privileges not now known to
the law and not desired by the more con-
sentative portion Of the nationality in
whose favor the exception was demanded.
He advised the Board Of Aldermen to adopt
some measure whereby the vexed question
might be mad, squarely an issue before
the people.

prisoners in the county Jail sawed bar
from the cell window, which let them into
the hall, and escaped through the wall by
drawing u stone which had been loosened
in q previous attempt to break Jail and
had been fastened by iron clamps, The bolts
Of which were sawed apart The escaped
prisoners were John Jones, held for MUIR
der; John BOwles, forgery, and Howard,
burglary. Several other prisoners wero
in the same cell, but said tsey preferred
to stay and stand their trials to risking re-
capture and trial. Hatchens, one Of the
prisoners who remained In the cells, said
yesterday that the men were in the hall
Monday nigh, but returned to their cells
and replaced the bar so it was not per-
ceIved during the day. He was afraid to
notify Sheriff Hill, as Jones was u des-
perate character.
Jones, something over year ago, per-
suaded young friend named Rhue, who
had been working with him in The Indian
Territory, to make q visit with him to this
county. and when in about mile from his
fathers house killed Rhue, and the same
night took a train back to the Indian Ter
ritory. Sheriff Hill pursued him and
brought him back and his case has been
continued by two courts.
