Il NARROW ESCAPE

Jimmy Mcbride is Waylaid and Severely
Injured by Being Struck With a Beer
Bottle.
[From Sundays Daily.l
The excitement Of last night finally end
ed in a tragedy that proved almost fatal to
one of Burleigh %county's most highly
esteemed, respectable and unoffending citi-
zens. About midnight al excited throng
gathered at the First National bank cor
ner, where the unconscious form of James
Mcbride was found weltering in a pool of
blood. He was picked up and taken into
Frisby's drug store and the wounds
broken n his face badly disfigured. He
soon regained his senses, but was unable
to tell what happened. 1t was all a blank
to him. Friends conveyed him to his room
at the Western house, where at last ac-
counts he was resting comfortably. The
deed, according to witnesses, was done by
Connie OLeary, who is now badly bruised
up and confined in the county jail. Tom
Hines, who was with Mcbride last night,
says: "Connie O'Leary seemed to have
had it in for me all night. He made sew
eral cracks at me, but l did not pay
much attention to him. He had been a
friend of.mine and l helped him out of sew

gether and commenced to follow Mcbride
and |. | knew Connie was after me, but l
was on my guard all the time. l did not
think he had anything against Mcbride.
Tom Cox had been shaking hands with me
a good many times during the day and
night and when we got to the First Ma
tional bank corner the two were very close
behind us and Tom stepped forward, say
ing, Give us your hand, Tom Before l
turned around. Connie O,Leary rushed
up and struck Mcbride over the lead
with a beer bottle. The bottle was
knocked to pieces. Mcbride fell to the
sidewalk as if dead. l sprang at OLeary,
caught him by the threat and uore him to
the ground, and if it wasn't for the crowd
that came up just then and pulled me off
l might have killed him."
OLeary was taken to Jail by Special Of
ticer Hatch. Tom Cox was also arrested
and placed in Jail. O'Leary says he was
jumped on first, which statement is dis
credited.
1t is said that O'Leary reached for a gun
in his hip pocket and stood off the first po-
liceman that attempted to arrest him.
The unfortunate circumstance will fill
the entire community with sorrow. Nc
Bride was a man without ar enemy, even
OLeary, his assailant, not having a thing
against him.

all honest citizensSwould think his action
justffiable. He wanted them to- vote for
men who owned property, paid taxes and
had interests at stake and not for men
whose only interest was political. Mr..
Wallace's remarks were %applauded, and
at the conclusion he introduced
Alexander Hughes. Mr.. Hughes said he
did not come there tor the purpose of max
ing much of a speech; the weather was
cold and the hall not heated, but the good
attendance Notwithstanding the Indictment
alive to the issue before them, which is,
were they to follow false proph.
cts and false gods and turn the cold
shoulder to the men who have labored for
the upbuildlng of Bismarck and North Da-
kOta. This, he said, waS the issue before
the people. He bitterly scored Senator
Pierce in the matter of Pierce's federal
appointments; claimed Pierce was no
friend to the old soldiers, though a war
veteran himself; that among all the sena-
tors appointments out one was an old SOL
once rejected. He brought forth figures to
show how much taxes Pierce paid in this
county and claimed the poll books showed
Pierce never voted in Dakota until a few
months prior to his election as United
States senator. He closed his remarks by
urging the people to use all their efforts to
elect Joe Hare and John Yegen to the leg
islature that the material as we'll as poll
teal interests of Burlelgh county might be
looked after.
Louis Hanitch followed with brief re-
marks and related several anecdotes that
he considered were suitable to the occa-
sion. The mass meeting then adjourned,
and the bands consolidated and paraded
the streets.

Saturday Nights Assault.
From TUESDAYS Daily.1

James Mcbride, the unfortunate victim
of the bloody assault Saturday night, is
resting comfortably in his room at the
Western house. With the attention of DR..
Kendrick and numerous kind friends, he
is progressing nicely and expects to be out
of bed in a few days. For two or three
days yet he will be obliged to submit to
strict confinement in order to avoid fever.
He is now able to see with one eye. Both
are frightfulIy bruised and discolored.
Connie OLeary, his assailant, suffers with
several Wounds about the head and body,
received in brawls previous to his encoun-
ter with Mcbride and Tom Hines.
O'Leary and Tom Cox were arraigned
before Justice Tibbils and their bail fixed
at $1,000 each. in default of which Cox was
sent back to the bastile. John Nichols
and John Ostlund went security for
O'Leary, who enjoyed freedom for a short
time Sunday, but later a question arose as
to the responsibility of one of his bonds
men,, so the prisoner was once more taken
to Jail, where he now languishes. The
hearing is to come off before Justice lib
bills on Thursday providing Mcbride is in
condition to appear. 1t is probable the
case will be carried to the district court.
Mr.. Mcbride was seen yesterday after
noon by a TRIBUNE representative. He
CuDlOI Ltll q ClCdI SLOly VI Clc dSShulU dlu
does not know that Connie O'Leary COM
mitted it, but he is assured that such is a
fact by witnesses. He said: "COnnie and
| had always been friends. We bore no
enmity to each other and l have not spo-
ken q word to him for about six months.
All that l can remember of anything
transpiring before the assault is very little,
and when struck down I don't know
where or how it was done or the man who
did it. During the night I witnessed a
scrap between Lem Dresser and Tom Cox.
Dresser, l think, was standing at the bar
in Quinlan & Halloran's saloon, drinking
with some other men. Tom Cox came up
to Dresser and, without any provocation,
apparently, commenced to pick a quarrel
with him and the two soon got to fighting.
Tom Cox got the worst OF the fight. l re-
member now that afterwards, when talk
ing with several friends about the fight, l
remarked that 1t served Cox pretty near
right, as he had seemingly picked a quar-
rel. This is the only reason I can assign
for my rough treatment if there is any rea-
son at all. Connie probably heard what l
said and took the matter up on behalf of
Tom Cox, though Cox, it appears to me,
ought to be able to hold his own with ordi-
nary men like me. l left my valise In
Quinlan's saloon after going out and went
back for it after awhile, intending to go
home. l came out with it and started
down the street with Tom Hines and that
is all I can remember"

Mrs. Abbott, the Little Georgia Won
Wonder, Mystities a Bis
marck Audience.
A Woman of Mystery.
FRO n TUESDAYS Daily,1

A little woman weighing less than 100
pounds on the stage of the Bismarck A tn
eneum held an audience completely mysti-
fed for nearly two hours last evening. She
tossed about such men as Archie Currie
E. L.. Faunce and others like so many
p%laythings, without any effort or exertiOn
whatever. 1t was Mrs. r. N. Abbott of
Milledgeville, Ga, the wonder of the age,
who gave interesting and remarkable ex-
hibitions of her strange powers. Mrs. Alb
bolt is accompanied in her travels by her
husband and three children and is a pleas
ant, cultured little lady to converse with.
Before the performances began. Mr.. Alb
bolt related to the audience a brief history
of his wife and said that her powers were
first discovered when a child seven years
of age. She has been before the public
but a few years. Her marvellous feats
have attracted wide attention and drawn
immense audiences. Newspapers all over
the country have devoted columns in tell
ing about the seemingly improbable things
accomplished by the Georgia wonder, as
she is called. Scientists have racked their
brains in attempts to solve this human enig-
ma. DR.. Hammond, the eminent scien-
tist, once declared that Mrs. Abbott was a
ny pIoIloI, VIC pCIoOl Ou WHO'LL she expert
nented was ~hypnOtiZed for the time being
and loses all use Of his muscles, but this
theory was exploded by tests in which
articles were broken by main force in at
attempts to wrest them from her hands.
Mr.. Abbott thinks the most feasible theory
yet advanced is that electricity is the chief
factor in working the magic power.
A committee Of seven gentlemen, Drs.
DePuy, Kendrlck and Messrs. Currie,
Faunce, Foster, Little and Gregg, were
selected from the audience and took seats
on the stage. Then the fun commenced.
Some Of the committee were skeptic. BY
turns each member sat in an ordinary
chair and Mrs. Abbott. by simply placing
raised both 1t and its occupant from the
floor. No one in the party was strong
enough to wrench a billiard cue resting
lightly in the palms of her hands, and they
all admit they tried their utmost. The
strongest man could not lift her from her
feet. A half dozen failed to do it. The
most interesting test was with a small boy
whom she charged. While she held his
hands in hers the little fellow Stood as
solid and immOvable as a mountain and
those who tried to lift him and failed could
hardly believe their senses. Then a silk
handkerchief was brought into service,
the ends of which were lightly held by the
boy and the wizard. This connected him
same as before, the boy was no more NOV
able than the sphynx. The combined
strength of the seven men could not force
her to the wall. The seven men were
heaped into two chairs and Mrs. Abbott
lifted the heavy load by touching the
chairs with both hands. It was a series of
wonderful performances.

Painted Woods Pointers.

Senator Pierce and several other distin-
guished strangers were visitors in this Sec
ton of the county this week. But few of
our people ever saw a United States sena-
tor before and his condescension in com
ing so far to visit our humble homes and
ask for our votes is properly appreciated.
Surveyor-Genersl Williams of Bismarck
was here this week on a political mission.
Williams may not be a practical surveyor
but he is a working politician.
The crops in this section have turned
out fairly and the threshing crews are dis
banded.
The stage Of water in the Missouri river
is at an unusually low ebb and sandbars
are numerous. Catfish are also plentiful,
but suckers are scarce.
Our farmers are taking much interest in
the approaching election and will vote in
accordance with the interests Of the far
mer and the laboring man. This is the
farmers year in North Dakota.

A Washington Opinion.

Olympia Capital: Senator Gilbert A.
Pierce, of North Dakota, was earnestly re-
quested during the last days of congress
to come home and look after his fences.
He sharply answered that the tariff bill
and his influence and vote at all stages'of
the measur were of far more importance
to his constituents thar his reelection.
His reply told, and now his record as it
goes the rounds of the state press is his
best helper in the pending canvass. BY
the way, this man was for Gresham, and
fought Harrison at Chicago hard but hon
orably. Yet his superb tact and ability to
10Y along the lines of reciprocity, be-
tween men as we'll as nations, have made
him a White House favorlte, and given
him an influence in the senate that the old
est member OF that body might well be
proud OF. None OF the new states, we be-
lieve, got as much from congress and the
president as North Dako a. The general
reason, brainy tact OF the short term sena-
tor.

OratOrY on the HouaatonA.

Until Saturday, Lem Dresser, the ar
tistic cook, bottle washer and chimney
sweep, had remained silent on the local
political situation for reasons
perhaps best known to himself,
though it took s%uperhuman eff
forts to conceal the vast amount Of enthu-
siasm and sOllcitude he entertained for the
welfare of his favorite candidates for Of
fee. Lem had an assignment of chimney
sweeping to take care of Saturday after
noon on Main street and a most excellent
opportunity presented itself for him to dis
play his OratOrical powers. He offered to
do the job of chimney sweeping for moth.
ing provided the owner accorded him the
privilege Of occupying his roof for a few
minutes that he might enlighten the vast
multitude assembled below. Whether or
no the privilege was granted, the fact re-
mains that Lem Dresser screamed eagle
like from the housetop until his voice was
hoarse, in language that wa forcible If
not elegant.
