Pinned on the Dead Mans Breast.

The murderer OF Captain McKelvey has
paid the penalty of his crime. Captain
Mckelvey was formerly of this city and
was brother Of David McKelvey. At the
time OF his murder he was foreman on
Madame Modjeska's ranch in Santa Anna,
Cal.
The murderer, Frank Torres, worked
for McKelvey and killed him because the
state poll tax was kept out of his wages.
The story was told In full in the TRIBUNE
few weeks ago.
Inc murderer was taken out of Jail by
mob OF 80 men at o'clock Saturday morn
ing and hanged to a telegraph pole. 1t
was done In quiet and orderly manner,
the city knowing nothing of 1t till day.
light. While generally condemned, tho
iynching is tho result OF a belief that his
Mexican friends intended to swear him
free and that the Court would be unable
to punish him.
At the Coyoners inquest on Torres
body, Robert Coggsburn, night watchman
at the Jail, testified that Just before 1
O'Clock men came to the Jail door and de-
manded admitance. He refused and thoy

Masked men entered and took the KEYS to
the cells away from him.
Torres fought like maniac when they
attempted to take him from the cell.
Torres was given no time to pray, but
moose was adjusted and he was strung up
to the nearest telegraph pole. The cor
oner's verdict was "Hung by parties un-
KNOWN" On Torres's breast was pinned

Two WOrkmen Terribly
Cut and Bruised.
DOCTORS SOON AT HAND.
The Platform on Which the Men Were
Was Too Weak.

A bad, and what may probably prove q
fatal, accident took place this afternoon
shortly before 2:30 o'clock at the new
opera house building on Broad street.
A platform on which n derrick was
erected broke and the derrick fell, SER
iously injuring two men.
Doctors Corrigan, Stcarns and True
were Immediately on the scene OF the ac-
cident and rendered all the aid possible.
One Of the men had his thigh broken,
and also received bad wound on the
head, rendering him entirely uncon-
scious.
The ambulance was summoned and he
was taken to the police'station.
Rev. Father Lennon arrived promptly in
answer to telephone summons and ad.
ministed the rites OF the church to the
ono who was the moro seriously injured.
Doctors Stearns and True accompanied
the man to the police station.
The injuries Of the other man were at
tended to by DIR. Corrigan, who remained
on the scene after the ambulance left.
Everybody at first thought it was the
guy rope over Broad street which broke
but an examination showed IT was the
platform which gave way.
The report OF the accident spread
quickly and a large crowd soon assembled
eager to know the result OF the accident.
Many of the sightseers were moro of a
hindrance than otherwise.
Officers Mcconnell, Mowry, McCusker,
Mclaughlin and others arrived quickly,
however, and kept the crowd out of the
way.
The injured men were removed. from
the place where they fell and were laid on
an improvised couch in the yard in the
rear of the Benedict House.
The name of the man more seriously in
jured was Maurice Walsh, who, it is said,
belongs In Worcester.
The other man Is a Swede and his name
could not be ascertained.
