WHISKY INCENDIARISM.
Great Excitement In Colorado City,
Colorado,

A dispatch Of March 2lst says: AT
midnight last night there was no APP.
parent signs OF quoting the excitement.
Everybody was upon the streets, most
OF them heavily armed. The whisky
men say that they intend burning at
least dozen or more houses owned by
prohibitionists before morning. But
everybody is on the alert and will de-
fend their property. The better class
OF citizens are very indignant and will
string up to telegraph pole the first
man caught setting fire to another
house.
There were no new developments to-
day. but excitement is running high.
Late last night and after the burning
OF Mayor Stockbridge's residence and
the American hotel, the residence Of
r. j. Reese, the Grand Avenue hotel
and the Crystal Palace variety theater
were burned. Two susl icious cbarac-
tiers have been arrested charged with
being the iucendiaries. The city is
patrolled tonight by one hundred
special policemen, and any person
caught attempting to repeat last nights
outragcS will be summary dealt with.

THE RAWSON CASE,
A Decision Which Releases a Rank.
er's eS Wife From Serving in Jail.

The motel case OF Mrs, Meckie l..
Rawson was brought to public notice
again in Chicago in an opinion render
ed by the appellate court. The opin-
ion was as TO the irregulariiy..of Judge
Jamieson's commitment OF Mrs. Raw
son TO sixty days in Jail for contempt
OF court in shooting Henry c. Whitney,
her husbands lawyer, in the court
room Whitney became insane and is
still in an asylum. Mrs. Rawson sub
sequently got divorce from Banker
Rawson, he making no defense. and is
now in Italy, where she is said to he
engaged 20 be married for u fourth
time. The sentence of Judge jamie
son has been hanging over her head
ever since it was imposed. She spent
half q day in Jail, but her lawyers took
out a writ of error in the appellate
court which now reverses the decision
OF Judge Jameson on the ground that
Mrs. Rawson's commitment was wrong
ly entitled, and also because Mrs. Raw
son was not present in court when
oShtchSO was iulpuSSu' lurJncT
error made by Judge Jameson, the
appellate court holds, was in not
stating in the order OF commitment OF
what the contempt consisted. The
order OF commitment being the whole
record when the contempt is com
mitted in the presence of the court, it
is essential that it should contain u
statement of the fact. Mrs. Rawson
gets out CT serving any more time in
Jail by the decision.

THE WOLF AT THE DOOR
Starving Miners in the wyOmin.
Valley.

Never since the time OF the bread
strike in the early seventies has such
widespread and hopeless poverty ex-
listed in Wyoming Valley. Men have
been making barely enough to keep
them going and instead OF getting bet
ter times have been growing worse.
Mines in Wyoming valley have not, as
a whole, been worked more than one
quarter OF the time since September.
Almost hall OF them have closed down
entirely and many of them have been
worked only four or five days month.
Hundreds of families in the city are
reduced to the last eXtremities. The
hack yards OF provision stores and
green groceries are haunted all day
long by women and children seeking
something eatable in the refuse thrown
cut The vicinity OF slaug hter houses
is also visited for similar purposes.
The situation in most OF the surround
ing towns is aS bad If not worse, and
in almost every one OF them public e.
fo"ts uge being made to provide for the
.leriu ion OF this widespread destitu-
t.oa.

MURDERERS ARRESTED
A Page County Mystery Cleared Up
After Three Year.

Bedford was wrought up TO the high
est pitch of excitement on the 18th by
the arrest for murder of Henry Lig-
gett, Familiarity known as French
Hank, and also his wife and daughter,
aged twelve years, for completely. The
murder for which the arrest was made
was committed in Page county, near
Shambaugh, in 1886. The victim was
the father of Liggett's wife, who lived
with his daughter. He was known as
dutch Charley" and was highly es-
teemed by all his neighbors. The crime
was committed for the old mans effects,
which consisted OF a gold watch, sixty
dollars in money and span Of mules.
The body was discovered about u week
after the murder by fisherman. The
body had been firmly tied TO stake
and the stake driven into the ground
at the bottom of the Nodaway river.
As soon as the Lig,et family were
put under arrest the officer in charge
telegraphed to the sheriff OF Page
county, who Immediately arrested one
Hugh Taylor for completely in the
crime. The detective who made the
arrest has been working on the case
for over a year. BY working around
the county for farmers, he gathered
up evidence link by link until the chain
was complete, and he now confronts
the murderers with a mass of evidence
that Is incontcstible. II is expected
that Liggetts l2.year-old daughter,
who is now under arrest, will make q
full confession of the crime. When
the arrest was made sale was in
progress at Liggett's place, as he was
anticipating removing to Nebraska
soon. When the warrant was read.
LiggetL's old-time friends forsook him,
and he almost sank TO the ground. He
was properly shackled and the officers
started for Clarinda with him, at
which place he will be tried. II is
the prevailing opinion that the end is
not yet, but that more arrests will fol-
low.

POKER AND RELIGION.
An Elk. Clergyman and Other Promi.
nent Men in Trouble.

Cambridge, Massachusetts. citizens
received shock in the exposure of
two gambling houses located on the
main street OF the city and including
among their frequenters some leading
men. The discovery was brought about
by the complaint OF a lady to Mayor
Gilmore. Her husband had been los
ing heavily at gambling, it seems
aud she sought the Mayors assist
ance TO learn where the gambling was
done. and TO have those involved pun
lshed. Search resulted in the exposure
of two poker rooms. One of them, it
seems, is run by clergyman, who for
some time was pa stor of Cambridge
church. He resigned his parish, how
ever, some five years ago on account
of certain gossip, and went else where.
There he continued his preaching and
only u short time ago returned to Cam
bridge. He stands high in Masonic
circles. The second room is run by
layman. Both are frequented by
prominent business men OF the city
and the revelations have created q
great stir in the religious circles OF
classic Cambridge.

About II o'clock on the night of the
18th, at Hurley, Wisconsin. a fire was
discovered in the Germania mine.
The alarm was quickly given TO the
men at work in the mine, put in spite
OF their efforts to escape five OF the men
were cut off and persisted. The fire
burned ficrcely and soon found its way
to the surface and destroyed the shaft
house. The entire timbering Of No. 2
shaft and the rooms in that part OF the
mine will doubtless be destroyed as the
fire was still raging. The names of the
dead are James Thomas, his son, Jo-
seph; Hugh Waller, Jimmy Sullivan
and William Banks. The loss so far
will reach 100000. Waller escaped
from the mine with about 400 men
when the fire broke out, but returned
to rescue the others still in the mine.
and was himself burned TO death.
