HorseWhinned I,

Quite an exciting scene occurred at
Fishers, bazaar Thursday afternoon.
1t appears that Mrs. Turner and Mrs.
Harper of Bay Cily, have been board
ing at Mrs. Hopkins restaurant for
some three weeks, during which time
they claim to have been much annoyed
by Fisher passing up and down on the
side of the street opposite their window
trying to peer into their room, and that
at last Fisher has made some offensive
demonstrations, that although Mrs.
Hopkins has demonstrated with him,
he still persisted in his meanness by
throwing kisses at them, and using
other insulting gestures, until they de-
cided to give him what they think he
richly deserved, good flogging.
They went to H. \. Delavan's and
bought buggy whip, and being thus
armed they proceeded to Fishers where
but for the timely aid of Bert Wood
ward and John Hicks, Fisher would
have been thoroughly whipped; as il
was he received big scare and some
slight cuts about the face. The end is
not yet, as Fisher is seeking to have
them arrested.

DURANGO, Mexico, May "a The de.
tails of remarkable massacre in rs
taDciela reached here to-day William
Muller, Mrs. Muller, q school teacher,
and an infant child OF the Mullers occu
pied hacienda near San Miguel dc
Mequctal, aud while at supper on Mon
day were attacked by robbers. Muller
was shot TO death and the school teacher
knocked senseless. The robbers finished
the supper, but while the bandits were at
the table the school teacher escaped.
Mrs. Muller was forced to show where
all the vsluables were kept and was
treated brutalIy besides.
just as the robbers were departing ,
party of soldiers arrived on the ground.
Alter hot pursuit seven of the bandits
were captured. As ordinary trials are
long, cost money, and are not always
either profitable or satisfactory, these
seven prisoners were given the short way
to justice by the 'ley de ftego," that ie,
they were allowed 10 try TO escape, and
In this Effort for freedom were all sho.
dead. In Mexico, when any prisoner
tries to escape, an officer has the right to
XIII him on the spot. The officers and
soldiers were in full pursuit of the others
engaged In this robbery and murder, and
it IS expected that they viii be captured
and killed.
The authorities here seem to be d. ter
mined that Durango shall be free of this
class OF people, II It takes one-third OF
the inhabitants. These timbered noun
tains in the west Of Durango have been
larbor for the worst mass oil men In
Mexico, juss as IL is In the Rio Grande,
and nothing but what Ia being done now
can clean the country OF such ruffiaus.
1t is quite certain that some OF the per-
sons who had spite against Muller in
vited these robbers TO come and help
them in .he robbing. As Muller was one
OF the bet ehots In the country, they
feared for few to make the attack, and
the first shot must hare disabled him, or
he would have killed some of them. No
two would have attacked him, giving
him any chance to protect himself.
