Zen Who Oeno0 the WIND
Norwalk. Conn, Special
News was received here this afternoon
from Wilton, small town on the Housa-
tonic railroad, seven miles north Of this
city, that White Caps have visited the
place, and that several Of its most promin-
ent citizens are counted among their vic
Tins. Richard 81. Fitch, the village
postmaster, is, however, the only
person who has actually come in
contact with the unwelcome visitors, and
this happened late last night. Mr.. Fitch
il perhaps Is years. of age, il Of slight
build and medium height. He has classic
features, 20 his friends say, and can boast
of considerable genuine looks, but .
stranger is prevented from learning these
facts from general observation, as the
gifted Adonis keeps his face OBJ
secured from the public gaze by 2
long and flowing beard Of scarlet red
nursed for several years. About :
week ago the young man received by mail
. huge envelope, which, upon being
opened, was found to contain . formid-
a6le-Iooking document, which caused the
receivers heart to sink to his shoes. The
letter, which wa. postmarked Bridge
port. was embellished with skulls, cross
center was the print of . bloody
hand, with the word "Death"
printed across the palm in deep
blue letters. The missive purported to
have been issued by the right honorable
executive board Of Council No. 8, Of the
National Order of White Caps, and
was in the form of warning, and
said that unless the wearer Of the capil-
larry appendages could give satisiac-
tory reasons why he should be allowed
to continue their growth he must
shave them of. After regaining control
of his nerves, Mr.. Fitch was inclined to
accept the whole affair as joke, but this
morning visitors at the Office were forced
to believe that it was no laughing matter
after all. His flowing whiskers were
sembling . two weeks growth, and
they were ragged in such q man
ner as to need the attention of bar
Der. Mr.. Fitch refuses any explanation,
and will not see interviewers, but advices
received from Wilton this evening say he
was attacked by masked figures while pass
ing through patch Of woods to his home
late last night, and his cherished " hiskers
were shorn of with q dexterously welded
pair of shears.

The little group Of spectators laughed
heartily. They began to respect the

they began to suspect him, for they all
agreed that he had more practical sense
than he had been credited with. The
Kansas legislature is composed, in the
main, of Alliance members, practical
farmers, horny-handed sons of toll. They

He is an object Of universal interest to the
galleries. He is moro inquired after and
talked about than any member on the
door of the house.
