WICHITA, Kan, Feb. "a mob took
forcible possession Of the Idpocdte print
ing establishment at Coldwater some
time during last night and tore the Office
10 pieces, after which they carried the
type away and scattered IL over the
prairie adjoining the city. The press
they also pulled To pieces aud threw IL
into the river. The gang then visited
the Echo Office and tried to fire the
building, but some shots from a watch
man frightened them away. The two
newspapers had bitterly opposed the al
lance and brought serious charges
against some OF the county officials
elected by the organization, aud had
been frequently threatened. A clew has
been found to the marauders, and sensa-
tional developments are expected.
