yesterday developed the following
facts: Pinkerton had been stopping
at his uncle's for some time. A few
days ago he made indecent proposals
to his uncle's wife. Saturday morning
he repeated the proposal, when she
told him that she intended to inform
her husband, who was at that time out
feeding. Pinkerton told her that he
would settle the matter with his uncle,
and that as for her. she need not
bother herself about it. After Penn
brake had come to the house Pinker-
ton came to the door and told him he
had something to tell him if he would
not thump him too hard for it. When
assured by his uncle that he
would not hurt him for any
thing he might tell him, Pink
ertOn told his uncle to come out te
the barn and he would tell him. Both
went to the barn and talked for some
time, but neither one seemed to be
angry. Pembrake's wife went to the

the statement of the receiver was IN
true. He was very nervous and ex-
cited. Late Wednesday night he gave
out fiat denial contrary to his course
heretofore. He attempted no explana-
ton other than that if tie books
showed that he ever owned airy stock
in the Keystone bank, they We're
wrong. He said that he did not know
how bank books were kept but there

Capt Collendar. He induced the girl
to leave home one night and they were
married by a Catholic priest. after
which Ryan took his bride to his
home, three or four squares from the
Collendar homestead. The young
woman is represented as having been
an invalid for many years and hardly
able 10 get out at all. Her father
strongly objected TO the marriage and
took legal steps to show that the girl
had been taken away against her will
and secured possession of her person
and kept her at his own home, where
she has been sick in bed most of the
time. Thursday the bride was in her
bedroom at the home OF her father
lying sick. No one but her
mother was in the house. A
well dressed tramp entered the house
and asked for something to
eat. While Mrs. Collendar was con-
versing with the stranger, Patrick
RYAN appeared on the scene and at
tempted to enter the house The
strange man caught Mrs. Collendar by
the throat with one hand and placed
the other over her mouth to prevent
her from calling for help. While thus
held, Ryan rushed into the house and,
Selling his wife in his arms, rushed
out and carried her to his home. A
messenger was dispatched for Capt.
Collender who was soon in hot pursuit.
Ryan had carried the women into the
house and shut the door. At the gate
Capt Collendar was met by Mike Ryan,
brother of Patrick, who with a re-
volver in hand forbade his entrance.
Mr. Collendar then got a writ Of
habeas corpus, armed with which
Sheriff Mcdowell drove out to Ryan's
house and took the much disputed
wife and daughter to his own residence,
where she will be detained and cared
for until the habeas corpus case can be
heard before Judge Shaw.

For six rounds they fought like

How littIe do our people know about

daily press just about what that CON-
pany chooses to have US know. 1t is

get a hearing along its wires. It is
loath TO send out the date and place of
meeting Of n national association Of
any one of these workers. ! am told
that Alonzo B. Cornell, republican ex-
governor and politician OF New York
state. is the business manager. There
can be no question but the Western
Union has its blacklist of persons and
societies. 1t will on no account re-
port the vote of the prohibition party.
II likewise withholds the news OF the
Knights Of Labor and other industrial
organizations. There is something be-
wildering about this domination Of o
monopoly over the very sources Of in
formation of great people, but
1t is. perhaps, most OF all astounding
that the people will put up
with it from year TO year In Ger
many the telcgraphs and telephones
belong to the government There
would be a civil war if the attempt
were made to put them into the hands
OF private individuals. The plan
works admirably. and would IN any
and every country. Happily, nearly
all the later political movements place
planls IN their platforms TO the effect
that all means OF general public loco
motion and communication shall DO
operated by the government. Let the
prohibition party give no uncertain
sound on this great reform. Free
speech is impossible in a country
where Jay Gould and his minions de-
eide what shall go to the press and
what shall not. Even the news they
do send they can water as they do
their stock. But every evil TENDS to
its own cure. The fact that jay
GOuld controls all the uanscOntinental
railroads is the most hopeful fact in
connection With the ownership Of these
roads by the government and the
more he suppresses the news along
the telegraph wires OF the Western
Union, the more he is preparing to
have those wires turned into thunder
bolts of modern Jove. whose name Is
public opinion. May they soon, met
aphOrically speaking, concentrate in
