SHOT BY a euNco MANS olps.
A Railway Policeman Wounded hy a wlId
West YIrginIan.


RAILWAY. n. j., Jan 22-James Vance
Of Jersey City, leader of the famous bunco
gang that has been victimizing peoplSju
New Jersey, and one of the men that bun
coed citizen of Elizabeth out Of &. 900
two weeks ago, was arrested here yesterday
by two detectives. At the time man who
gave his name as j. w Maynor, OF West
Virginia, was with him but escaped. Nav
nor is a man about 6 feet tall, with heavy
black mustache. He wore a slouch felt
hat, and Judging from his appearance and
makeup was what he claimed to be,
southerner.
He at once went to the Railway house.
When Maynor broke away, Chief Tucker
dispatched Special Policeman Ward to ar
rest him. Ward entered the reading room
Of the hotel and, walking up TO Maynor.
said: II have been sent here to put YOU
under arrest, SO come along.n
Quick as flash Maynor jumped to his
feet and whipped out 44-caliber six
shooter revolver, which was a self cocker.
leveled it at Wards breast and fired. Ward
jumped to one side and received the bullet
in his arm.
Those in the room nearly all took 70
their heels, Maynor saying that he would
shoot the first one that came near him.
Maynor then raised the revolver and said
that IL they intended to arrest him he
would blow out his brains.
He raised the revolver, and, pointing it
at his head, was about to pull the trigger,
when Proprietor Swain knocked il from
his hand He stopped and picked up the
revolver, and, pointing to those in the
room, said he would shoot the first one
that followed him, and backed to the door.
When he gained the street he turned and
ied like deer down the railroad track to
Houghtonyille, two miles below this place.
There he took a train for New Brunswick,
where he was arrested upon a telegraph
order from Chief Tucker, and Vance was
locked up on a charge of bunco swindling
and Maynor for attempting TO kill Police
man Ward. Wards injuries are serious,
but not dangerous. It's believed that May.
nor is the bunco steerers dupe.

cross purposes being played in the senate
Is IN such state that a prediction as to
the final outcome would amount 70 moth
ing more than mere conjecture. The
democrats have entered upon policy Of

Mr.. Morton Cannot Use the Key.
Messrs. Morgan, Gray aud Kenna have
oeen selected as the next speakers, and as
they are men Of wonderful physical endur-
ance, there is apparently but a small
chance for the Republicans TO successfully
carry out their plan. A thorough discus.
sion Of the situation has taken place
among'the Republicans leaders, resulting
IN the general agreement thar Mr.. Morton
holds the key to the situation. But the
main difficulty is for Mr.. Morton TO find
an opportunity to make use OF the key.
This he cannot do. II is said, without max

be seen whether he win exercise his power
as the presiding officer Of the senate to
bring about a change in the present condi-
ton Of affairs.

munity. 1t will be remembered that the
wires put peculiarly sad phase on the
death. but this has been rectiied by the
Herald which gives the facts as follows:
Robert Walker was remarkably bright
young man, kindly and affectionate in his
nature, big-hearted and generous char
liable in word aud deed, and Always con-
siderate for the feelings of others. In fact,
he possessed so many noble and lovable
traits of character that he was peculiarly
endeared to the members of his family and
friends. He was a skilled engineer and
draughtsman and stood foremost among
his profession in Montana. Only three
weeks ago he started west to take trip
to Puget Sound and stopped at Tacoma.
He was suddenly taken i'll and asked to be
taken to the hospital where he said he
could procure better attention and care;
he was anxious not to alarm his family,
and thought he would be well in a few days.
The ply ician who was called in found
him suffering intense pain, and admins
tered hypodermic injection of morphine,
followed by a dose of chloral: he had never
been accustomed to strong medicine, and
became delirious from its effects. He be-
came delirious at intervals during the eve
ming, ard after one of these spells while he
seemed to be resting the nurse left the
room q few moments. In that little time
he had jumped out of bed aud in his efforts
TO get out of the room, fell from the win
dow, evidently thinking he was walking
out of the door. He was cared for most
teEderly and everything done to save his
life; but the injuries sustained in the fall
were fatal and the next morning he
breathed his last. His desire to have a
priest with him was Immediately gratitied,
the father remaining with him to the last
The shock to his family and friends was
terribleD

SPORTING SPLINTERS.

The January tug of-war people will have
another meeting Tuesday evening at their
parlors over 81 Commercial street. at
The people interested in this tug-of-war
are all local men and will guarantee every
thing as strictly honest and reliable.
In few days more Salt Lake will be in
the throes of a tug-ofwar tournament,
and II will be a contest of giants. These
exhibitions are being given just now in
all of the big cities of the country, and
nothing of sporting pature has hit the
public as hard since the palmy days of long
distance pedestrianism, when governors
and mayors acted as starters and judges.
Our tug-of-w will undoubtedly be as in
teresting and exciting as any that have
taken place elsewhere. Major Levy was
placing the seats in Walkers pavilion yes
terday and all the arrangements have been
completed. The tournament commences
on Christmas eve and will continue six
nights.
Competent judges say that the sparring
contest between William LANCE, which
came off at Ogden Friday night, was a
magnificent display of science. Although
II was announced in advance that the con-
test would be for points only, there were
some who were not pleased because no one
was knocked cut and gore was not scat
tered all over the ring. The young gladia-
tors are both dissatisfied with the referees
decision announcing the contest draw,
and will come together again in this city in
a short time under Colonel Kelley's man.
agement.
In the billiard tournament at the Morgan
last evening Gauthier defeated Arthur by
a score of IS to 80. There will be no game
on Monday night but on Tuesday Cutler
and EDgler will play. The games this
week will be very interesting. Cutter has
now won three games and lost none. Eng
Ter has played four and lost one. Gauthier
has won four and lost one.
