are known TO have borne zach ll-feeling
for the dead lawyer. One Of these men left

ter's assassins, though the Sheriff still de-
nies that any arrests were made. =
The authorities are hard to work on the

| A very uneasy feeling prevails. and the
silence is believed TO portend something Inn

There was rumor to-day that the jail
would be visited by the vigilantes tonight,

| Mike Blum and Lane. two other murderers,
| as well as the men believed 10 have been
arrested on suspicion OF being McWhirter's s
assassins, would be ynched.
| From other sources 1t was learned that 1t
! was merely intended by the vigilantes TO ex-
pei all disreputabie and criminal characters
from the city and not to make an attack on
| the jail.
The inquest was again postponed to-day
| on account Of Mrs. McWhirter's inability TO

Special to THE MORNING GALE.

FRESNO, Aug. S1-The funeral of L. B.
Nc Whirier took place to-day. 1t was
largely attended by the most prominent
citizens of the town.
Aside from the solemnity usual to such
occasions the faces of the men present wore
set and resolute expression that almost
approached grimness.
At the residence and at the grave they
conversed in low tones of the many sinister
aspects the assassination bears.
They talked as if they had an understand
Ing that was not to be expressed in words.
terrible suspicion that seemed to ap-
proach a conviction pervaded the assem-
blage.
The cause Of McWhirter's murder is not
much OF mystery, even If the miscreants
who struck the immediate blow are un-
known. The town is ripe for hanging
bee aud the surrounding country is ready to
pour IN regiment OF determined men TO
assist in puttnga summary end to assasslns

unpunished, and there is feeling abroad
that something must be done to prevent
anarchy.

ing menace at free speech and political
independence. 1t has tremendous signiti-

cited by it and the skill and methodical
care exhibited in its execution, every fresh
discovery gees more clearly to show thai
the motive was deliberate assassination and
nothing else.
Investigation shows that the assassna
had made a minute study of the grounds
and all the approaches TO the house. On
the corner, only half block away, there is
an electric light which iiluminates the
whole neighborhood. That light is put out
at exactly O'clock. The murder took place
