Judge Lynch and Arrest of Citizens.

WAHoo, Neb., April 25.-Intense ex-
citement:exists here over an attempted
elopement, resulting in an effort to COM
NIT murder, followed by an active ses-
sion of Judge Lynch, and concluding
with the arrest of prominent citizens for
mob violence. Mrs. Frank Burgess,
wife of stockman, had, it is asserted,
become infatuated with G. E. Freeman,
an implement man, and, securing a
large sum of her husbands money, is
alleged to have started for the depot
to meet Freeman and leave the city.
The couple were overtaken, and the wife
returned home. In the evening Free
man is said to have secretly entered the
stockman's house, and when supper was
served Burgess was taken violently i'll
from the effects of poison. Supposing him
to be dying, and that Freeman admin
istered the drug, a mob gathered and Sc
cured the implement man at the muz-
zles of revolvers. Preparations were
made to hang Freeman, but Burgess re-
covered and begged that the man be not

mob were subsequently arrested for at

JACK THE RIPPER.

The Police Know Who He Is, and, Will
I'll Soon Have Him Bagged.
New YoRK, April 25.-The deputy cor
oner this afternoon concluded the au-
topsy on the remains of the woman
murdered by Jack the Ripper.
The only fact of import
ance was the disclosure that
the mutilations were evidently made
while the woman was still alive, and it
was apparent that the struggle of the
poor wretch prevented the butcher from
fully completing what he originally in
tended, the removal of certain organs.
Inspector Byrnes tonight made state
ment to the reporters to the effect that
while the police have not yet arrested
the murderer, they know who he is,
and hope to have him in custody
before long. The murderer is a
cousin Of ''Frenchy," or Francois
Algra, an Algerian, who was arrested
last night. 1t is known that "Frenchy"
spent Wednesday night with the muir
dered woman, and staid at the hotel
the night his cousin perpetrated the
horrible crime.

AN ALL-AROUND DISGRACE.
The Lynching at WaIla Walla-Furth'
Plots by the Soldiers.

flOCs by the bOlu1ers.
WALLA WALLA, April 25.-Great ex-
citement still prevails in this city over
the lynching of Hunt last night, by
soldiers. Superior Judge Upton has
called on Colonel Compton, commanding
Fort Walla Walla, for aid in ferreting
out the guilty parties and bringing them
to justice. Colonel Compton said he
would lend all the aid in his power, and
that only a misconception of the gravity
of the situation on his part, prevented
his taking more active steps to prevent
the trouble. Colonel Compton stigma
tized the action of the mob as disgrace
for himself, his officers, the troops and
the entire army. The grand jury has
been summoned to sit Wednesday next,
and inquire into the tragedy. The
prosecuting attorney today telegraphed
to the secretary of war the details OF the
tragedy, with the statement that the
authorities were unable to protect
themselves against the lawless soldiers,
and asking that immediate action
be taken. This evening the sher-
iff and prosecuting attorney received
what they regard as authentic
information that plot has been laid by
the soldiers to kill Policemen Ames and
Morse, Gamblers I. j. Holbrook and
Benjamin Taylor, and to demolish two
gambling houses. When the facts were
communicated to Colonel Compton, he
issued an order that no enlisted men be
allowed out of the post until further
orders, and that check roll-call be
called every hour throughout the night
until danger of further mob violence has
passed. Over one hundred special
guards are on duty tonight, ready to re-
pei any attack made by the soldiers.
