arrest Of a Man Charged With Abduction
and Brutal Assault

PHGNIX, Jan, 2l.-The girl, Maggie Dean,
IeI IoIted yesterday as having been abducted
from her home, returned about o'clock this
morning TO her fathers house, and gave
terrible story OF abduction aud abuse. 1t
seems that young Jim Robinson was at the
well when she went to it, and lie put
GOubIe-barreled shotgun into her face. and
tod her 10 make no oUtcry or he would Kill
her and her mother. He then told her 10
walk ahead Of him to the graveyard, a quar-
ter Of a mile distant, and IN the same way
forced her 10 proceed with HIM 10 the hlls,
some fifteen miles distant. The girl had on
only calico dress. She had been washing,
and had no covering for her head. They
stayed in the brush till suudOwn, during
which time the girl was Orutally assaulted.
After dark they started on the road TO Pres
cot. Robinson expecting TO meet friend
with WagCu at an appointed rendezvous
The wagon failed to materialze, and after
going i've miles they halted; he said he
was going TO kill the girl aud himself The
girl begged 50 hard that Robinson relented,
and told her he would take her back home
If she would promise TO say that she left Of
her own accord. He accompanied her to
within mile Of her home, where she ar
rived about midnight. The girl is In hOr-
Tbla mental and physical condition, and
lies in great distress. Her body shows
severe bruises, and IL Is doubtful If she Will
recover.
On her return home and the relation Of
her story here. her father and one or two
others prOcured an Indian trailer and
started 10 hunt Robinson up. The trail
was found about where the girl said he had
left her, and following il up il was found
that he mad followed her TO her home and
then struck out for the river bottom, about
a mile distant, and this forenoon at about
10 o'clock he was found near the Salt River
and lodged in the County Jail.
On being overtaken, Robinson dropped
on his knees and imDlOred the father to
shoot him. The father replied that shoot
ing was too good FIR him, and, binding
him. saw him landed in Jail. He refuses TO
make any statement whatever, and 10 the
absence Of the District Attorney he viii
probably remain where he is for q day or
so without further developments in the
case, unless the girl should die.
Feeling runs very high in the matter,
aud despite a thought that it may be the
young man is insane there is talk of sum-
mary vengeance.
a physician attending the girl states that
she has been horribly treated.
The militia mas been notified TO be in
readiness to prevent an attempt at lynch
ing Tonight.

FALSE STATEMENTS.
Testimony for the Prosecution in The
Qaay-POSt Libel Suit

PITTsBURG, Jan. 21.-In the Quay-Post
libel suit to-day after two or three unlm-
pOrtant witnesses we're examined, the Clerk
of the Philadelphia courts was called ana
presented the original records III the BardS-
ley case. Senator Quay then took the stand
and SAID he was not personally acquainted
with John Bardsley and never had any busl-
ness relations with him, exceptin his public
capacity as State Treasurer. There was not
q word OF truth in the article in the Post.
These answers were made to questions pro-
pounded by the plaintiffs counsel, ana At
tOTney McCOOk objected 10 the witness ne
ing led. Quay was then turned over 10 MIN
for s-eXaminati9n.
In the course Of the examination witness
denied that he received from Bardsley
SSSS7 He never had any dealings with him,
but acknowledged receiving certificate oil
deposit from David Martin. Quay also de-
MED that he was lndUrser for three notes Tor
$4,000, iudOISed by j. Il. Brown and VIII
lam Flynn. and caShed by Bardsley OF the
Keystone Bank
EX-COllectOr David Martin OF Philadelphia
was the next witness. His testimony re-
lated to the Quay and Bardsley certificate,
and did not materially differ from that
given IN the Beaver trial.
Senator Porter, Chairman Andrews OF the
Republican State Committee, and John Il.
Deyne. formerly Probate Note Clerk Of the
Keystone Bank, also repeated their testi-
mony as given in the Star suit.
The prosecution mere rested and Attorney
McCooK addressed the jury for the defense.
He said IN substance: The issue here IS
not whether Senator Quay stole money, but
whether the appearance at the time OF the
publication was not such as TO warrant such
a belief at the time OF that tremendous
defalcatiOn, and if you say it from the ap-
pedTance then and without malice you are
not lIbelOus. We shall show you we dld
not act upon faint TumOrS, that we waited
until we we're informed by officers Of this
commonwealth that tile facts Ne published
were true and could be proved before the
Senate, and We shall show you that we
withheld comment until we were satisfied
by copies OF the certificate obtained To prove
the charge. | believe Quay now when be
comes on the stand and says he did not en-
gage in the Bardsley steal, but you must
consider appearances at that time. Then i
was necessary to protect the public"
Several other witnesses were examined
before the adjournment of court. The case
will 90 to the jury tomorrow, it is thought

Special to THE MORNING CALL

INDIANAPOLIS Qnd), Jan. 22-One Of
the most appalling fires in the history of
indianapolis occurred late last night. The
National Surgical Institute, one of the most
famous of its kind In the country, was
burned to the ground.
The fire started about midnight in the
ofce Of the building. Above the Offices
were the wards for babes and their mothers.
Smoke was discovered few minutes be-
fore midnight issuing from the advertising
room. The fire is believed to have been
caused by spontaneous combustion, and
in fifteen minutes the whole lower floor
was in flames. The attendants barely
had time to awaken all the patients
and in the halls and upper rooms pande
monium reiEned Shrek after shrek for
help went up as the inmates realized their
terrible situation In few minutes white
faces could be seen at each window Of the
large building, and the unfortunate Great
ures yelled beseeching appeals to those be-
low for aid.
Police, fremen and attendants worked
UtIIBSHI9s anu ulAuY pdtI6ulS NcI6 IeItiON Gu
from the burning building in a short time.
Patients who were able to get about at all
assisted nobly in the work Of rescue.
The view in the halls aud on the stair
ways before the fire communicated to the
main building furnished weird sight Pa
tients wrapped in bed-clothiug crawled and
helped themselves along from one floor and
one landing to another. Cots were hur-
riedly constructed from mattresses, and
policemen and firemen carried the rescued
across the street TO the new annex.
Those seriously burned in hands and
limbs ara numerous.
Al 2:30 o'clock in the morning it was
stated that two women who jumped from
windows are dead. It is also reported that
several dead boiies have been found IN the
debris.
The fire is now under control
Ats o'clock This morning Dr. Allen, pro-
pTietuT OF the Institute, stated that there
we're several dead bod.e, IN the maiu build
inE and several more IN the annex. 1t Is
also stated that at least SIX children were
sutfOcated IN one OF the rooms.

Animals Suffering and Business Seriously
Interrupted in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-The city. is suffering
from severe water famine. The trouble
extends over the entire city, including the
suburbs, and is caused by the stopplge of
the inlet pipes in the lake by ice. Private
families, factories and business buildings
are the greatest sufferers. The elevators
are closed down and fires are banked to
prevent explosions of boilers. Business at
the stock-yards in the great Slaughter
houses is at a standstil and there is no
water for the thousands of furnishing ami
mails in the pens. Strenuous efforts are be-
ing made TO remedy the trouble and it will
be but temporary.
The inlet at the water works at Hyde
Park and Lake View was cleared this after
noon, and the pumps are now supplying
water to those districts.
In North Chicago the city railway shops
are closed and the schools have had to shut
up and the breweries are much Straitened
by the scarcity of water.

WAsHNGTON, Jan 21,-Iu the Senate to-

cacy of his bill to issue S1OOOOO,OO0 in na-
tiOnal notes and loan it on farm lands.
Mitchell asked Stanford whether under
the proposed bill any large corporation that
was large owner of lands-tne land grant
railroads, for example-cOuld not borrow
up to one-half Of the assessed value Of their
lands.
Stanford replied in the affirmative.
Morrill, inquired whether there was to be
more than one place in each State where the
money was to be lent by the G JYernment.
Stanford said tho idea was to have an
agency Of the Land Bureau In every large
city and town of a State.
Morrill, suggested that it would entail 4
very large expense. and Stanford replied
that agencies would not be necessary in
every State.
PETER made a long speech in advocacy OF
the bill, which was then laid aside.
