Kansas CiyiIiyation-AIso ON Montana-
Big -Four Train Robbers Penned IN u

FAIR CHANCE, Pa, June l2. - Samuel
Humbert, an old resident OF Fair Chance,
was assaulted by masked men at his residence
at midnight Saturday and subjected to great
tortures to make him disclose where his
money was secreted, At that hour Humbert,
who lives alone, was aroused by a knock at
his door, In response TO his inquiries as to
who was there the men outside asked for q
drink of water When the old man opened
the door he was seized and gagged. Two
ruiilans then searched the house, but failed
to find anything of value, whereupon they
commanded their captive To surrender his
money and valuables lie insisted that he
had no money The two fiends then built
fire in the CRATE and, drawing the old man
up to it, roasted his feet until they were
shockingly burned
Still the old man protested that he had nc
money, and implored them to release him.
They threatened to set the house on fire if ha
did not confess. After turning everything
IN the house upside down and ripping up the
carpet in their search for money they bound
the old man hand and foot and departed
Humbert, after a desperate struggle, freed

One OF the PhenIx Park Plotters Gets Bach
After FruitIess Trip.
NEw YORK, June IA passenger down
on the list as an Walters" was one Of the
first to leave the French steamship La Nor
mandie when she came up 10 her wharf
foot OF Morton street yesterday morning at
o'clock. Pretty much every one on board
knew that his name was not Walters, but
John Walsh, participant in the plot that
resulted in the murder of Cavendish and
Burke in Phoenix park in May, 1882. The
English consul at Havre and the head de-
tective for the English government at Paris
both followed him on board the steamship
and denounced him one Of the Phoenix
park murderers. With Walsh was John
Patrick Sarsfield McKenna Walsh came
over in the second cabin. He and Nc
Kenna had separate state-rooms. Walsh,
after leaving the ship, walked leisurely up
the pier, gripsack in hand. man. who the
steamboat people think was a detective,
logged his steps up the wharf and out on
West street, McKenna followed shortly
afterward, also with gripsack. No Irish
Nationalist was around to meet them. Nc
Kenna is unknown TO the Irish Nationalist
here. He is said to belong to camp of Clan
na-Gael in Chicago. IL is affirmed by Irish
Nationalist here that Walsh went abroad to
and that the plot was disclosed by some ono
in the confidence of the officials of the Clan
na-Gael In this city when Walsh had got only
half way across the ocean. He was out of
sorts yesterday. He will have to make some
sort Of explanation to the committee of the
Gamma Gael that sent him from here and
his previous record will not stand for much
His friends say he never before failed In any
mission upon which he was sent Friends of
Walsh said yesterday: Walsh feels awful bad
about the way the thing has been given away.
English detectives followed him from Havre
to Paris, and put up at the same hotel he did
His every step was logged. As it was he
dared not step on English soil, for he would
have been arrested for completely in the
Phoenix park murder. He believes there is
a leak somewhere among the high Gamma
Gael officials on this side, and that it would
be suicidal for an Irish Nationalist to tempt
fate by ever going on mission to England
as things now stand. Everything he had
done for months and the persons he had met
in Omaha and in this city were known to the
English consul at Havre.
