Lou HOUK'S PAROLE.
GOV. Campbell Uniustly Criticised At Outs

cosej0I y.IsgrJ,, IN fbg Regisfey

CoLrNBUs. O., September l9-Govenor
Campell has been severely criticised for the
parole Of Lou Houk, a notorious monte
man, sentenced for murder TO the Ohio
State Prison. Paroles are allowed by the
managers of the prison, however, and the
Governor is not responsible for them. 1t
is said, however, that he has written let
ter TO the Board Of Managers severely rep
rimanding them for this action, which has
made the whole State indignant. Asked
about it ta-day, Governor Campbell would
not say whether he had reprimanded the
Board or not. but he severely criticised the
newspapers Of the State, and particularly
the Cincinnati Enquirer. for unjust criti-
cism Of him. There seems 10 be an es-
arrangement between the Governor and the
leading Democratic paper Of Ohio.

SPOKANE FALLS, WASH, September l9.-
The carpcuters's strike on the Exposition
building here is a stupendous failure.
Professional men and capitalists rallied
at the building yesterday by the score. All
day long squads of non-union men were
brought up from private buildings, and
during the afternoon 100 carpenters were at
work and quite as many citizens were lay
ing shingles and flooring
10 was truly an inspiring sight Hon.

archal beard, clad ia blue ovcralls and ham
mer in hand, was one of the first 10 arrive
at the building Nearly every banker in
town responded TO the call, and when night
came the Superintendent declared that
more work and better results had been
accomplished than upon any previous
day
4 large number of strikers gathered upon
the grounds early i'm the morning, but the
cheering of the w0rkmcn as new recruits
kopt arriving had "a depressing effect upon
them. and they soon faded away. The az
fair is the most exciting incident in the
history Of the city. with the exception Of
the great fire last year.

RECENT CASES.
To rccoup their broken fortune Post
and Ludlum pushed on to Clyde, O..
where on June 3. 1890, with the assist
ance Of O'Brien, they made a successful
raid on the purse Of Philip Rife,
an aged and well.to-do farmer. The
card trick, with the usual revolver ac-
compartment, was worked, and they
left their victim standing at the road
side $500 poorer than when he had
first met the strangers who wanted 10
buy his farm at an advanced price.
Their next stand was at Battle Creek.
Mich, the ''pappy-guy" this time being
Sanford Snedeker, an aged gentleman.
who owns several farms a few miles
from that town. There Tom O'Brien
appeared on July 3, 1890, i'm the role Of
a capitalist seeking to purchase a stock
farm. While inspecting Mr. Sncdeker's
spacious acres they met with Post. who
tried his skill at working the cards.
Mr.. Snedckcr was induced To 20 10 Bat
tie Creek. draw 5000 in cold cash, and
return to the shady tree where the game
had been played Out came the reyol-
yer and away went the money.
The gang then came on this way. and
were next heard Of at New MartnsylIc.
in the Stewart ease.

4 few days ago two strangers, de-
scribed as large men, we'll dressed, drove
TO Mr. Burris' house, and introducing
themselves as being from Pittsburg,
they told the old gentleman they de-
sired to purchase a farm in that yicin-
ity. Mr.. Burris had farm for sale, II
he could get his price for it, and agreed
to show the strangers around.
This done they returned TO the house,
where the two strangers made the old
man an offer for the premises. 1t was
too low, aud he refused to sell. Finally
they offered him 5000 i'm cash. which
he agreed toacccpt. The willy strangers
counted their money out in good green
backs. taken from a strong box with
lock. in their possession The terms Of
the agreement made with Mr.. BurriS
were that he was 10 deposit like
amount i'm the box, 50 as To make the
bargain good, and as a guarantee of
good faith. and In a few days they
would return and sign the papers.
The old gentleman readily consent
sd to this and posted of 10
the bank at Smithiicld to get the cash.
The cashier OF the Smithlield bank, Mr..
Vermillion, was suspicious. and insisted
that Mr.. Burris take certificate of de-
positc. but he insisted on having the
cash, and he got IT,. He went home and
placed il in the box with the other
300. which made SO, 400 in the box.
The strangers had so much confidence
i'm Burris that he was TO keep all the
money tin they returned in few days,
prepared 10 sign the papers and take
possession Of the property. The agree
mcnt was that BurriS was not TO dis
turb the box till they returned. After
all things were arranged satisfactorily,
the two well dressed strangers left
driving to Rush run, whore they left
their rig, both taking the next train,
one buying a ticket for Steubenyille.
The rig is reported to belong TO livery
man at Brilliant.
The next day or possibly the same day,
Mr. Burris talked 70 his neighbors about
his proposed sale and the transaction in
general, when a suspicion that some
thing was wrong induced him to open
the box. when to his amazement he
found nothing in it. He was out Just
200. The friends OF Burrs have been
trying TO keep the matter quiet, but IL
has leaked out. and the above are the
facts in the case.
