way that Southwurth Is suspected OF being
the leader, or at least Il m"inber OF gang ui
cicty FOR the purpOSr OF Waging war on
capital and capitalists with powder AID
dynamite.
TIE ALLEGED CRANK SOCIETY.
So far ns the story OF "Capt." Horne goes
Il does not show that thrrt was any one IN
Ills alleged society but suutAwurh himself.
VINO nS apparently bent upon establishing
an organization for the Transportation oI
tramDs across the Continent AT ~ IL head.

known before he came to this city, Indicates
that he was Il harmless sort of lunatlc.
though he was once arrested for making an
inccndiary speech at = pubic meeting IN san
Francisco.
