A Chicago Millionaire and His Attorney
Lashed in Court.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1s.-Today in a crowded
courtroom Mrs. Edward Mcmahon horse
whipped millionaire and his lawyer and
then tainted in her husbands arms. The
millionaire was Peter Smith, contractor,
and the lawyer was z. McHugh. The
cause of the assault was the reading of a
deposition by a Canadian detective, i'm
pugning Mrs. McMahon's chastity.
The horsewhipping is the climax of q
series of sensations growing out of long
standing family quarrel. McMahon's mar
riage some months ago TO his second wife,
who created the sensation today, was very
displeasing TO his mother and sister, the
latter being the wife of Millionaire Smith
McMahon's son had fortune of 10000.
II was asserted that the step
mothers chief object in marrying
Mcmahon was to obtain possession of this
sum. Mcmahon and wife on the one side
and his mother, sister and Smith on the
other had charged each other with at
tempting little Milton's (the son's) death
by poison to prevent the opposing parties
securing his custody. The Canadian depo-
sition read was in furtherance of legal
fight by the Smith faction.
Shortly after entering Judge Kohlsaat's
courtroom today Mrs. Mcmahon walked
quickly TO where Smith and McHugh were
sitting, and with blacksnake whip, be-
fore the astonished spectators or bailiff
could interfere, slashed Smith and Nc
Hugh repeatedly across the face and neck.
Judge kohlsaat took no action in the mat
ter, and decision was not given TO either
of the parties.

Chief of Detectives John O'Connor had
for some time past had his eagle eye rivet-
ed upon the performances in rooms is, IL

and Cedar streets. The tenants were as
advertised III. z. Clark e. Co., agents of the
Washington Colonization and Investment
Company, of Seattle, who operated with a
capital of $4,000.
The route into the presence of these ten
ants was as circuitous and mysterious as
that into the cavern of "She Who Must Be
Obeyed," and Mr.. O'Connor learned the
mysteries by sending members of his de-
tective force through the series of ante
rooms under the magic guidance of NOR
tai whose makeup was an enchanting
study.
Mysterious and consequently enticing as
was the place, there were men on the out
side who were supplied with cards reading

A Heavy Earthquake in California,

A dispatch from Nappa, Californ-
ia, dated October 18th, says that
the heaviest earthquake ever felt
there was experienced at 1910 on
the evening of the 18th inst. People
rushed into the streets in great ex-
element, chimneys toppled over,
several buildings were shattered
and badly shaken up. Drug store
fixtures suffered greatly, bottles be-
ing thrown from the shelves to the
floor, and other damage being done.
The Masonic Temple, fine build
ing, was shattered. At the State
Insane Asylum great excitement
prevailed, the patients being almost
uncomfortable. 1t is reported that
the building was cracked and that
other damage was done.

And the Republican Cabinet al

And then he tells you-you men

men who know what it is to com
pcso with foreign labor--he tells
you this: He goes on about Amer
lean ships, and supposes that ship
leaves here and goes to-Belgium,
where there are expert toilers in
iron, glass and pottery. He made a
very unfortunate reference when he
spoke of Belgium. If any man
came here from Belgium, seeking
honestly for labor, willing, to bear
his proper burdens of citizenship,
willing to shoulder musket, if
need he, in defense of American in
stitutions and liberties, he would be
welcome. But this sounds differ
emily.
The Treasury Department is in
vestigating complaint that large
number of Belgium glass "blowers'
-as the slang of the day goes, will
you get on to that-"have recently
arrived In this country in violation
of the contract labor law"
Well, if we get our ship into Bel
GUM, as Gen. Golf suggests, his
friends, the protected manufactur-
ers, would want to fill it on the re-
turn trip with contract labor in vio-
lation of law, to come over here and
take the places of the citizens of
Bellaire. If had been General
Goff, I'd have selected some other
country-the North Pole, or South
Africa, or some other one than the
one being Investigated at that NOM
ent because of violations of the law
designed to afford some little pro-
lection to American labor.

Having Tackled Lion, She Was Not
Afraid OF Thieves.

When p. IT. Barnum's winter
quarters were burned two years ago,
one of the lions escaped and entered
the barn of Mrs. Gilligan, a widow,
living on Pequonnock street. Mrs.
Gilligan bravely entered the barn,
grabbed the king of beasts by the
tail, and belabored it with a pitch
fork handle to drive it out. Her
pluck and courage were noted in
the newspapers at the time, and she
received many offers of marriage
from men in the far west who need
ed brave wives.
Mrs. Gilligan has again distin-
guished herself. She is a great poul-
try fancier, and her hennery is a
standing temptation to the lawless
tramps and toughs who make that
neighborhood their headquarters.
Recently she heard her chickens
making an unusual noise, and,
hastily dressing, she got to the coop
just in time to sec two men carry
ing off 13 of her fowls. She follow
ed them to their camp in the woods
and jumping into the midst of the
gang she grabbed the chickens from
the hands of the thieves and gave
them a piece of her mind. Then
she sent for the police and made
complaint against the men.
