DOUBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE.
How the Naughty Herr Gosch Ende

How the Naughty Herr Gosch Ended =
PlebeiRn Connection.
Siegfried Gosch was one of those un-
happy people who him they are or ought
TO be a little more important han the rest
OF mankind. He was a native of Holstein,
IND came to America some years ago to
better his fortunes. Instead of getting
better they grew worse, and when he
reached San Francisco he had very little
cash and no prospect of employment.
There he made the acquaintance of the
Sternitzky family.
The father and sons ran a little tannery
and had no lofty notions. Neither did the
mother and daughter Marie. But they
We're pleased with Herr Gosch's manners,
education aud appearance. They cheerfully
acknowledged his superiority both rs to
blood and attachments. He was ''high and
well BORN" they were OF the people. So.
when Gosch's money gave out and he asked
the hand Of Marie in marriage they felt as
flattered as do those ~millionaires who see
:heir daughters angle successfully for titles
with golden hooks.
After the wedding Mrs. Gosch, who was
four years her husbands senior, gave him
her dOwry and he started in to earn a liv-
ing as a peddler of oil and soap. He made
money, but the business was too dVgrad.

took him into the tsnnery, paid hjp good
wages, never dockcd him Rheu his hot
blood boiled and he went on sprees, saw
that Marie and he two babies resulting
from the uniV' had shelter, food and fuel
and in every way tried to make thing
pleasant for their aristocratic connection.

lows was long and sometimes discourage
ing, but it ended as most Of such chases do,
with the bagging OF the game.
In the prosecution of their work the au-
thorities sometimes employ methods not
strictly recognized by the law. Nearly
every reader will remember the story of
the man in custody whose lawyer said to
him, You amt be arrested on this
charge But, hang it, replied the
client, II am arrested" That is about the
case Of T. Brigham Bishop, once known u.
the King of the Bucket Shops" Some
months ago he was defendant in a lawsuit
brought by a printing firm.
Bishop was beaten, and in subsequent
proceedings had to give bail. Then he left
New York. He was heard of the other day
in New Jersey. Means were taken to lure
him to Jersey City. There Tour officers
laid violent hands upon him, put him
aboard a ferryboat, took him to New York
and lodged him in Ludlow street jail.
Bishops friends stigmatize the affair as a
kidnapping outrage. The people on the
other side of the quarrel say their conduct
was justifable. 1t remains Tor the courts
to settle the dispute.

from their platform to show the pc.
sition Of the Knights of Labor as re-

ideas of the landless from those OF

Guiding all the natural sources of
wealth. is the heritage of all the l'eo-
pie aud should not be subject to
speculative traffic. Occupancy aud
