Awakening shortly before o'clock, he
summoned all the heads of the various de-
partments and gave them full and explicit
instructions regarding matters that should
be attended to on Monday.
The Wounded Man Taken Home.
About @ p. IN. Prick at his own request
was placed in an ambulance and taken
home. Mrs. Frick is in delicate health,
and much care was taken To prevent CIV
Ing her shock. Her sister was informed,
went to the Office, saw Frick and then
went home and prepared the wife for her
husbands arrival. Mrs. Frick was ill
enough TO be in bed and as her husband
was carried by her door, which was open,
he cheerily told her that he was all right,
and asked, SLOWS the babyi" The news
of the event spread rapidly, and as Frick
was carried to the ambulance the street
in front of his Office was packed, and there
was no one there who did not express de-
testaiion of the cowardly attempt at as
sassination.
What the Public Thinks.
When the would-be assassin was led out
of the building with the officers there were
the to-be-ex pected cries of "Lynch him."
ETC., and there was some difficulty in get
ting him to the patrol wagon and to the
station; but the policemen did their duty
and landed him safely in prison. There
were rumors at night that 1000 strikers
from Homestead were coming to lynch
the fiend to demonstrate that they had no
sympathy with the desperate deed. While
the report was not credited precautions
were taken, and Chief Brown said the
prisoner was safe, adding very sensibly:
zone crime has already been committed;
two will not better IT,"
Some Discordant Notes.
The advisory committee at Homestead
made haste to disown all sympathy for the
crime and its perpetrator, and other labor
organizations expressed themselves in the
same manner. But at Homestead among
the workmen such expressions as Served
him right" "What else could he expect"
"That's the stuff" were frequently heard,
and Burgess McLuckie, in a speech to a
mass meeting at Youngstown, o., said: ~
can't say that l am sorry that he was
shot" Hugh O'Donnell, when told of the
event, was greatly shocked, and hoped it
was not true. President Weihe denounced
the deed as cowardly one. One steel
worker at Homestead fell on his knees and
thanked God when he heard of the shoot
ing.

Badly Wounded as He Was He Attends
to business Right Along.
The sang froid exhibited by Prick during
and after his hand-to-hand struggle with
the man who sought his life bordered on
the incredible. While the surgeons were
examining his injuries, although suffering
intense pain, Frick maintained his self
possession, and was in fact rs cool as if
nothing had happened. The surgeons
were anxious that he should be put under
the influence of chloroform, but he sturdily
protested, and while they were probing for
the balls he gave many hints and sugges.
tions as to where they would be likely to
find them. Hundreds of his business and
personal friends called ut the office while
the doctors were at work, and more than
score were admitted by his orders. To one
of them, James Il. Scott, of Johnstown
fame, he said that he did not propose that
his wounds should bother him much; that
he expected TO be at the Office on Monday.
Had His Mail Attended To.
Just after the ball had been dug out of
his shoulder blade he suddenly recollected
that he had left several letters on his desk
that it was important should 20 out in the
night mail, and calling clerk. he in
structed that he should bring them in.
Persuading the doctors to prop him up,
although this accelerated the flow Of
blood, he attached mis- signature TO the
various sheets. Then he was placed on q
couch and soon fell into sound sleep

Tried to Emulate Lingg.

His photograph was taken Saturday
and he was stripped and examined. On
being told to open his mouth he refused
and it was forced open with a spoon. In
side his mouth, under his tongue was
found cartridge similar to that with
which Lingg, the Chicago anarchist, blew
his head off. 1t is of the kind made to ex-
plode with the prick of pin or bite of the
teeth, but owing to some imperfection did
not explode. Had it done so it would not
only have killed Berkmann, but killed or
manned those in the room with him.

IDENTITY OF THE ASSASSIN.

He Is Simply an Anarchist, Having No
Connection with the Strikers.
The man who did the foul deed Berk-
mann, is an anarchist who has worked in
New York on Most's paper, The Freiheit,
but been discharged for incompetence. He
had no connection whatever with the
Homestead strikers nor with any labor
union in New York or elsewhere so far as
can be learned. When asked why he shot
Prick he said that was nice question to
ask. No one in the world was any better
off for Fiick being alive, while he had
made thousands miserable. He killed the
Homestead men on July 6 and did not
deserve to live. He was dog and should
die, and so on.

Came Here to Kill Frick.

Berkmann came to Pittsburg to kill
Frick, so he said. He had studied the
matter over and acted with generalization.
He was sorry he had not killed his victim.
He did not care if he was hanged if he had
only accomplished his object, but didn't
like the idea of punishment when he had
failed. Still as it was all ain the great
cause" he didn't mind. He believed that
every man was king, and that every
tyrant should die. The people were the
state; Prick was against the people-there-
fore against the state. He CFrick) was
against the law. He added that he left
New York Thursday morning. He was
pleased when told that he would be
allowed to defend himself and could speak
for whole day if he chose.

Tho Limo Of Lakes.

The above name has been applied to the Wi
consin Central Lines on account of the large
number of lakes and summer resorts tributary
to its lines. Among some of the well known
summer resorts are Fox Lake, ILL.,, Lake Villa,
Ill, Waukesha, Mukwonago, Cedar Lake,
Neenah, Waupaca, Fiheld, Butternut and Ash
land. Wis. These lakes abound in numerous
species of fish, such as black bass, rock bass,
pickerel pike, perch, musllalonge, while sports
men will find an abundance of game, such as
ducks, geese, quail snipe, etc. In the grandeur
OF her scenery, the charming beauty of her
rustic landscapes and the rare perfection of her
summer climate, the state of Wisconsin Is ac-
knowIedged to be without peer in the union.
Her fame as q refreshing retreat for the over
heated careworn inhabitants of the great cities
during the midsummer months, has extended
southwark as far as the Gulf of Mexico and east
ward to the Atlantic.

Help Arrives just in Time.

Vice Chairman j. G. A. Leishman,
Tricks right-hand man, was in a neigh
boring room and heard the reports and at
once rushed into the office and seized
Berkmann just as he was about to fire the
third time. Grasping the murderer by the
right arm, he turned the pistol upward
and the bullet went into the ceiling. The
assassin at once turned his attention to
Leishman and attempted to stab him with
knife made of file. Frick having re-
covered from the temporary panic he had
felt at the sudden attack upon him, and
despite two wounds in the neck which
were bleeding profusely, sprang to the
assistance of his friend.

Twice stabbed by the Fiend.

Berkmann stru twice at Frick as the
latter seized him, infiicting two wounds as
described above. Frick did not let go,
but bore his assailant to the floor. A
fierce struggle ensued during which Berk-
mann tore himself loose. Just at this mo-
ment others came rushing in. one placing
a pistol to the head of Berkmann was
about to fire. when Frick saw the act and
exclaimed in his peremptory manner:
"Let that man alone!" adding that the
law would deal with him. This undoubt-
eddy saved the assassn's life, while
Tricks prompt action when Leishman
was struggling with Berkmann probably
saved Leishman's life.

A Frivolous Objection.

The parties who are determined to
saddle a debt of $4,000 and up
wards on the taxpayers of this
county, are circulating the report
that if Curtis plans are adopted, the
sunlight will shine in the teachers
face.
Now it should be bone IN mind
that during the school hours, between
9 o'clock and 1, the sun is high, and
if it did hit the teachers face for
half am hour, two-bit curtain would
obviate the difficulty.
The Curtis plans have received the
endorsement of nearly every tair
minded person who had examined
them.
In these plans there is no estimate
made for heating or sewerage, nor
was it the intention. The idea IS to
present the plans of the building to
the meeting tonight, and also furnish
an estimate for sewerage and other
incidentals to- the taxpayers if the
plan is approved.
It is not understood, however, thai
the meeting this evening is for the
sole purpose of exhibiting the Curtis
plan. If anyone else has plan HI
is requested to bring it and let tn
taxpayers give all plans fair an'
impartial consideration on a frlendl!
basis, for the good of the citizens
the citizens and the taxpayers, ant
not in the interests of any comblna

The International silver confer
ence dodge will not work IN Nevada
this fall-APPEAL.
The so-cal!ed silver party papers
don't want an international agree
ment, the coinage of American silver
or ANYTHING else to work that will
raise our silver to a living price and
take from them their excuse for ask
ing for Office. Enterprise.
Does the Enterprise seriously think
that the 5000 voters in this State
who have cut loose from the party to
fight for free coinage, have done SO
to secure Officer
The real fact of the matter IS that
the men who are secretly-they dare
not working against silver
are prompted in their action solely
because they want to retain office al
he expense of the general welfare
The only parties in Nevada who arr
not for silver before party, are thu
men who are now enjoying fat offices
and who would rather hold State ano
Federal positions with silver at u
cents than be out Of Office.
These men are all on record, ant
should they flop now it would d.
them no good, as their work in oppo
sition to the silver movement is to-
well known to be hidden or evel
forgotten by the voters of Nevada.
The free silver press Of the Stat
has the record and will see that it
preserved for future reference.

DO WE WANT caNADAe

Though interest in Canadian anneXa-
ton to the United States lags or in
creases as the minds of enthusiasts are
occupied with various subjects, it is,
nevertheless, a question always open for
discussion. After the gossip concerning
Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet has died away
and the democratic party is we'll started
on it's era of reform, we may expect
a revived interest in the Canadian
issue, if it may be called an issue.
Tt is still an open question whether
the annexation Of Canada would be Of
States. and whether reciprocal trade re-
lations would not furnish all needed op-
%portunities SO far as this country ia con-
cerned. Certainly the United States
does not want Canada solely as an adj
dition to her territory. Already we have
land for coming millions, vast regions
capable of development aud yet under
imperfect government. 1t is a matter
of inquiry, therefore, it it would not
prove the wiser and better policy to
bring to perfection what we already
have before adding an enormous terri
tory, which would bring many natural
resources, it is true, but with these
would come many new and perhaps dis
turbing influences. The race feeling in
Canada between the French and Eng
lish of the lower provinces has grown SO
steadily during the past few years as to
suggest a serious problem for near So
luton. One race problem in the United
States at q time seems quite sufficient
to worry the heads of our social scien-
lists. Canada also has q heavy debt
which burdens the people to the degree
of forming an excellent excuse for emil
grating from the country. Indeed this
emigration has SO increased during the
past few years as to cause serious inves-
tigation by the Canadian government
with a view of prevention.
There are many reasons why Cana
dams should leave their country for the
United States. Here there are no ham
pering connections with a foreign gov
eminent, more opportunities Cor invest
ment of brains and money, and more and
better returns for labor.
If reciprocal trade relations are estab-
lished a good beginning would be made
in the way of an experiment and this
will probably be the first step.

They Take a Ranchman's Horses. But Are
Compelled to Surrender Them.
r. j. Boiler returned yesterday from a
hunting trip in the Dearborn country. He
reports that a few days ago it looked as
though the settlers in that vicinity might
have some trouble with the Crees. The
latter lost two horses and they concluded
some of the white settlers had stolen them.
To get even they went to the stable OF a
ran Gilman named McLane, on the Middle
Fork of the Dearborn, and took two horses.
McLane was AVA and his wife told some
of the neighbors what had happened.
Whom McLane returned he went to the Cree
camp and demanded the return of the
horses. This was refused and the Indians,
in their war paint, told McLane if he
wanted the animals he must take them.
Then the settlers. some twenty all told, got
together and determined to take the horses.
Before they started. however, they learned
that the Indians had sent q runner to the
Jocko for reinforcements. Two young
men, one named Hartwell, formerly CON
nected with the Helena postoffice, volun-
teered to stop the courier. They got on his
trail and stopped him in the woods, dis
arming him and taking him back to the
Cree camp. The Indians, when they saw
they could not reach the Flatheads, gave in
and surrendered the McLane horses, soon
breaking camp. For a while serious
trouble was threatened.
