ribly Mangled-The Miscreant Finally
Catches a Bullet.
CHICAGO, Jan. 14-Crazed from the effects
OF Saturday debauch John McNulty, a
teamster of Portland avenue and Twenty
fifth street, committed a series of the most
fiendishly brutal assaults ever recorded. He
got home in the middle of Sunday afternoon,
and with an accompaniment of horrible
curses proceeded to wreck the scanty fur
niture of his little fiat Mrs. McNulty pro-
tested, and for answer the worst than beast
Knocked her clear through door and tried
to stamp out her unhappy life by jumping

The Attack on Mrs. Miller.
Mrs. Miller, a neighbor, hearing the
woman's agonized shrieks, interfered, and
McNulty left his half-murdered wife to at
tack her. While he was engaged in smash
ing Mrs. Miller's face to pulp the wife es-
capped, and on discovering this he proceeded
to attack the remaining articles of furni-
ture. Meantime the police had been called,
and when Officers Dunn and Barrett de-
manded admittance McNulty threatened to
kill the first man who tried to force the
door,
Wild Beast Enraged.
While Barrett was seeking assistance, Nc
Nulty suddenly opened the door and laid
open Dunn's skull with terrible blow from
a Ratchet. The officer fell and McNulty
dragged HIM into the room and again locked
the door. Then a scene of almost incredible
savagery took place. Sinking his teeth into
the unconscious policeman's lip, the wanton
brute bit out piece of flesh as large as a
half dollar, following this up by tearing his
left eyebrow completely off. The pain re-
stored Dunn to consciousness and he made
feeble effort to defend himself.
Brought Down by n Bullet.
AS the wretch was about TO complete his
desperate work a relay of officers burst in the
door and McNulty fed to the yard and over
fence to Twenty-eigh nth street with the
bloody Ratchet still in his hand Officer
OShea, knowing the man and seeing the
blood, ordered him to stop, but with a curse
McNulty ran on. OShea fired twice, the
second bullet taking effect, and SCATTERING
the fiend's knee-cap. A tremendous crowd
gathered, and it required continuous use of
clubs by the police TO prevent a lynching.
Even after the prisoner had been landed in
the station the crowd surged around the
door uttering threats
May BE Case of Murder.
1t took the police an hour to dispense the
mob, after which McNulty was taken to the
county hospital, where the surgeons said his
leg must eventually be amputated Officer
Dunn is scarcely expected to recover from
the wounds in his head, and in any event
will be horribly disfigured He is an old
officer, married and has family. Nc
Nulty's reputation for repeated and savage
attacks on his wife is notorious, and if he
RECEIVERS the police will do their best to have
him adequately punished.

Killed Himself and Wife.

DENVER, May "a Ouray special to
the Republican says: At 2 o'clock this
afternoon John NJ. Winstead. while
intoxicated, went to the restaurant
kept by his wife and demanded money,
which she refused to give. Winstead
became very angry and pulled a large
revolver and shot his wife through the
heart in the presence of his 12-year-old
son.
The wretch then turned the weapon
upon himself and sent ball crashing
through his right breast, which not
proving fatal he walked out doors, sat
down on the front step and sent another
through his heart. Both will be buried
tomorrow at the expense of the county,
as all their property has been
squandered by the husband, who was
a dissolute fellow.
The dead woman has relatives in
Marshalltown, Ia, and at one time
lived in Hutchinson, Kan. The man
was from Tennessee.
John Winstead was for several years
resident of Great Bend. In 1856 he
had a restaurant where Eppstein's 8 shoe
store now Is.

Not for John.

The Augusta Journal, one of the
staunch republican papers of Kansas,
''speaks out in meeting'' as follows:
In conversation with the editor of
one of our leading county papers Mon
day. John J. ingalls, came up for dis
cusson. We were told that it was all
nonsense to oppose him, that if we did
we would be alone in the fight, that
IDgalls in the last eighteen years had
done all his constituents had asked him
to do, that his constituents were to
blame for not instructing as to what
was wanted. This is the argument of
the ingalls, organs. when the question
is asked, "What has he done?" the
answer is What have you asked him
to do?" The answer, however, is not
as satisfactory as it might be. A
senator who does nothing until he is
told to do it should be retired. For
eighteen years Mr.. ingalls, has been in
a position to learn something Of the
United States and Kansas. He has
been paid salary of nearly 100000
to look after the interests of his con-
stituents. 1t is his place to look into
the future and forsee if possible the
needs of our commonwealth and there
to endeavor by all proper means to
secure it. Such master mind as his
frie nds claim for him could certainly
forsee the rapid accumulation of
wealth, the combination of capital, and
a statesman, a patriotic statesman,
would have bent every energy to pro-
tect those who honored him with the
highest position in their gift. Has
Ingalls, done this? No. Will he be
elected? Yes if money and political
influence can do it.

Ingalls, in a New Role.

The following''o open letter to Senator
Ingalls," we reproduce. from the St.
John Capital:
"Hon. John j. Ingalls,, My Dear Sir:
am in receipt of a copy of the New
| York World, containing twenty seven
photographs of yourself, and let me
say, 1 think they aatter you very much.
But it strikes me, senator, that you
have not struck the right attitude yet.
In place of posing as dude you should
array yourself in sack cloth and ashes,
and bow down on your bended knees,
and ask pardon of the generous people
of Kansas, whom you have so shame
fully deceived. Yes senator, you should
have the twenty-eighth photograph
taken in the above described attitude,
and give it as wide circulation as you
did the other twenty-seven. Not only
that but you should accompany it with
an open acknowledgment of your past
official short comings. AS you have
never been supplicant at the throne
of common justice, let me suggest what
think would be an appropriate con-
confession to make to the people you
have SO shamefully deceived, 1t should
read something like this:
81, John J. ingalls,. have been one of
the worst demagogues that ever betray-
ed the confidence of a trusting people.
Although the interests of the west and
south are indentical have made many
rabid speeches to "alienate them by

the gold bugs of the east might prey
upon them. have helped to enact
''unfriendly legislation that has placed
intolerable burdens on their energies"
I have helped to enact laws, that make
''invidious determinations against
their products" I have supported
unjust tariff that have repressed their
industries"
"When reflect upon the ''burdens
they have borne, the wrongs they have
suffered am heartily ashamed of
the unholy legislation have helped to
enact, which made 1.-THE rich richer and
the poor poorer And notwithstand-
ing the fact that there sis not coin
enough In existence to meet in specie

that has given to "Vanderbilt a
wealth beyond the dreams of avarice,

letter published in The Voice, January
31st, 1889, written by Jas. W. Brown
a thirty years resident of the city ot
Leavenworth. In 1889, when Mayor
Nicely Ia democrat), was up for his
third term, on account of sentiment
favorable to prohibition, he sent a cir
cular to all the lady voters of the city
pledging himself if elected that every
saloon should be closed. He wone by
sixteen votes. Suddenly 228 saloons
were closed. From 5000 to 5000
people left the city, and the cry was
raised that the city would go to the
dogs. In the spring of 1888 the census
was taken showing an increase of ,554
over the population of 1887. In 1882
Leavenworth's population was 18, 766
In March 1883 it was IS ,227, and it is
now claimed to be 10000. Attorney
General Bradford gives these figures
Of commitments to the penitentlary
from Leavenworth county: SIN 1886

saloons) thirteen; in first half of 1885

were closed ,one of our banks has added

BABY IN THE DESK.

Locked Up by Mistake, It sfunbeEs ..
Foaely Untn Eoun6
Real-estate men seldom get ''rattled-"
They are, as every body knows, men OF
Eerve, but when they do occasionally
lose their heads one may be certain
there is good cause for it, says the Chi
cago Times Such an instance occurred
recently in the Office of s. f. Gross .
kr. Gross had sold two lots to a young
mechanic, who had come during the
afternoon with his young wife to sign
the necessary papers, among which were
. score or more Of promissory notes
The young wife had with her q chubby,
pretty, blue-eyed and rosy-cheeked lit
tie baby, possibly six or seven months
old. The little one was asleep when
the couple reached the Office, and when
the time came to sign the notes the
mother laid her sleeping baby on one OF
the adjoining desks-one of the cylin-
der top variety. How it ever happened
nobody knew, but the clerk whose
desk it was. having to go out, carelessly
pulled the top down without noticing
the mite of humanity, looked it and
went away.
1t took possibly ten or fifteen minutes
to sign the notes and papers, and then
the couple made ready to GO. Then the
mother discovered that her f1rst-born
was missing. For the life OF her
Mrs. - couldn't remember what she
had done with the baby. And then
there was a scene. Tables and desks
were showed aside, waste-baskets
emptied and clerks searched high and
low, but no baby could be found. The
young mother was almost frantic. The
police were notified, and patrol wagon
with four stalwart blue-coats soon ap-
peared on the scene. They, too, ran
sacked the Office. but in vain.
In the course of half hour great
crowd had gathered in front OF the Of.
fee. 1t was at this juncture that the
clerk who had caused all the trouble re-
turned.
"What is the matter here2'' he In.
Quired, breathless1y.
ga baby has been kidnapped"
s'WhatI'' and the advertising agent
joined in the search. Finally the de-
mands of business caused him to open
his desk, and 10! there inside neatly
curled up in her white robes lay the
little one fast asleep. During all the
hubbub and confusion the baby had
slumbered undisturbed. The opening
for letters in the desk had furnished all
the air its little lungs needed.
''Of course there was rejoicing then,
and you should have seen that mother
hugging her little one. I think the
boys are going to give her lot for the
scare we gave her." said the clerk who
told the story
