PREPARING FOR FIGHT.
To Down the Lottery by Bloodshed II
Necessary.

CHICAGO, Feb. ia special to The
Herald from New Orleans says: There
is to be a conference tomorrow between
committees from the lottery and anti
lottery wings of the Democratic party.
The idea is TO arrange a compromise on
terms by which the great gambling en-
terprise may exist a year or so longer,
withdraw the two Democratic tickets
not i'll the field and name a new one,
which both factions may support. 1t is
not considered likely that the differ
encos will be adjusted. There is an in
tepsity of feeling on this lottery ques-
ton that can scarcely be quieted by COM
mittee action. 1t is considered much
more probable that the points involved
will be debated with the convincing ar
gument Of rifles and argued through
smoke than that they will be decided
over council table.
In the last three months thirty Demo-
cratic clubs have been organized-one
in each ward of the city. The member
ship of the individual Clubs ranges from
80 to $50 men, and the aggregate enroll
ment is 5000, possibly more.
As the clubs were formed and the
membership grew there was singular
commercial movement. The price of
Winchesters advanced, and shotguns be-
came nearly as valuable as and scrcer
than jewelry. Soon neither rifles nor
fowling pieces were to be had, and man
ufacturers had difficulty in filling orders.
Then it was learned that the new ward
clubs were causing the unprecedented
demand for weapons. Their weekly
meetings We're secret, and were devoted
to instructing the members in the man
ual of arms.
When it appears to them that the
lottery has such firm grip on the in
stitutions of the state that the ordinary
political and legislative methods cannot
loosen its hold, they will begin the trans
action of the business for which they
were organized This will be the taking
control of the state government by force.
The anti-lettery faction is not alone in
preparing for bloodshed. The friends of
the vast gambling corporation will also
have an army at its call, but these
forces will not have the discipline nor
the stamina which may be looked ful
among the antis

In 1912 he was appointed to the Shan

His Admiration for Americans.
Lieutenant Wallis, for his services in
this fight, was made commander. The
old admiral always spoke of his AIneri-
can opponents with admiration, and at
tributed the victory of his side largely
to luck. He had years of experience
afterward, and rose by slow degrees to
the rank Of admiral in 1858.
When he loft the active service in 1877
he was made an admiral of the fleet.
He never saw doctor willingly but
once in his life.
For nearly thirty years, that is since
he was something over 10, he had been

POOR SARAH ALTHEA.
san Franoisco's Famous Litigant Ply
.sioal and Mental Wreck.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 15.-Sarah AL
thea Terry, who gained such notoriety
by her divorce suit against ex-senator
Sharon and her subsequent marriage
with Judge Terry, has become insane
over spiritualism. She has been very
eccentric ever since Terry was shot
down by Policeman Neagle at the La
throp eating station the moment after
he slapped Justice Fields face. The fact
that the court held Neagle blameless
drove her nearly insane, and this feeling
was aggravated by troubles which she
had with her attorney in Fresno.
She sits for hours in one place with
her pocket hand tlIerchief rolled up and
placed TO her ear like the holder of
telephone. She says she gets all kinds
Of messages through the handkerchief
from her friends in spirit land, and she
handed the handkerchief to reporter
who saw her and asked him if he didn't
hear whispers coming through it.
She looks very old and haggard, and
her face is flushed with fever. Her
pulse runs high, but she seems insensi-
bic to heat or cold. At night she be-
comes very violent and calls loudly for
Judge Terry and for Porter Ashe,
whom she says she loves dearly.
The poor woman is physical and
mental wreck, although she is not over
40 years old. She has only remnant
of property left, Judge Terrys estate
having been heavily mortgaged and
badly managed. When the Sharon di-
vorce suit began in March, 1891, she
was a remarkably handsome woman,
and since then she has been almost con-
stantly before the public. She never
got cent from the Sharon estate, and
about six months ago the last Of her APP
peals was denied by the federal court.

Train Robbers Checkmated.

DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 15.-Early in the
morning Officers Jordan, Steele Miller,
Mape and Rollins surrounded Warden's
gun store and captured Bill Burns, of
Honey Grove; Ed Miller, of Kansas
City; Charlie Smith and Bill Barnum,
of Austin. They shot down Bill Burns
before he would surrender. One of the
quartet confessed that they had entered
the store for the purpose of getting at
least one Winchester and pistol piece,
and that their plan was to rob the Texas
and Pacific east bound express. They
seem to have had pointer that the
train would have heavy amount Of
gold on board from California.
