A paper received from Leeds, Eng
land, contains a half column account OF

tains an account of one Lyons who at
tempted to lecture at Cheyenne, Wyo.,

to large audience made up mostly Of
Catholics. He appeared on the plat
form with revolver in either hand,
whereupon the crowd closed i'm upon
him and an aifray ensued that resulted

and Castleman horribly pounded. Van
Allen was killed by blow on the back
OF the head with an AK which crushed
his skull. His face and breast were lit
