was standing near by. He and Officer
Simonson, each holding tho man with
firm grasp, started toward the nearest
patrol wagon.
"He will never get out OF this"
shouted one man, as he made an effort
to strike siegler with his fist. Threats
of violence were heard on every hand
and the police saw number OF revol-
vers drawn by citizens, whose actions
indicated that they were anxious to
punish the murderer before he could be
placed in the hands OF the law. Re-
peatedly Siegler was struck by men
whose interference could not be pre-
vented by the crowd OF officers that sur
rounded him.
PROBABLY INSANE.
siegler was at last placed in the wagon
in safety and the horses were whipped
into gallop. He was driven to the
West Chicago avenue police station and
at once taken into Captain Kipley's
private office. There he made his
statement. 1t was brief, incoherent
and Indicative OF insanity. He dictated
it rs follows:
"About S this morning went to my
brothers house. William Sieger, at 1913
North Herine avenue, ior to get Il gun.
As was told by our Lord up above to
20 and get gun did it. | was born
to realize this country. The Lord said
to me, To-day is the day Of Judgment
and you've got to be there.
II brought the gun home and put it
in the clothes closet and after awhile
took it out. Then my mother-in-law
came down stairs. She Is witch. She
said to me You've got 70 die, aud |
said 4 will not go where you want to
send me- shot her in the hail. The
old man came down stairs and | was
confused. fred at the old man and
shot him. then went out on the
steps, and the patrol wagons came up.
Then was confused altogether. have
been sick and have trouble"
Sieglcr's wound did not seem to pain
him, but it bled profusely, and it was
thought best to send him to the county
hospital, where the doctors, after u
brief examination, announced that the
wound would not prove fatal.
Late tonight Siegler talked oil the
shooting. II only did what the spirits
told me, and when get out OF here
there is going to be another great big
fight"

OMAHA, NEE, Nov. 20.-A special to
the Bee from Newport, Neb,, says: One
of the worst prairie fires this county
ever witnessed started to-day while tho
wind was blowing a hurricane. The
fire is supposed to have started from a
spark from farm house one mile east
of Bassett, spreading three or four miles,
sweeping everything before it. The
damage at this writing will be hard to
estimate but will be probably from
$4,000 to $4,000. Farmers, with the
help Of about 200 people from Newport
and Bassett, by hard fighting saved
thousands OF dollars worth of property
which otherwise would have been do
stroyed. 1t seemed to be fight for
life as we'll as property Several fami-
lies we're compelled to sock corniields
and wells to save their lives. The fire
is still burning, going IN southeast
direction. 1t will be impossible to state
the damage outside Of Rock county.

A RELIGIOUS FREAK.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Sept. s6-MrS Anna
Haliock of Wayne, Schuyler county, has
probably spent moro time in bed than any
other woman living. Mrs. Hallock owns
one of the finest farms in the county and
is considered wealthy by her neighbors.
She is spiritualist. About ten years ago
she claims to have received message from
the spirit world directing her TO go TO bed
and stay there tor ten years In the mean
while she was not to allow any water to
touch her body. Mrs. Hailock went to her
bed and no persuasion or argument could
make her yet up. She would not allow peo-
pie TO wash her under any circumstances.
although she accepted clean clothing.
she WAS apparently a strong, healthy
woman had splendid color, ate hearty
meal, and never complained OF being i'll.
When clergyInen called to urge her 70 get
up she was deaf to their eatreaties, and
said the spirit ordered her To stay In bed
for the publication Of her soul. She con-
tiuued the management Of her farm, kept
herself posted Oh the market prices OF
farm products and did a great deal OF
writing, but nothing could persuade her
to arise. Recently the ten year limit eX-
pired and she got up and dressed herself.
She was 81 gfitly bent ia stature from be-
Ing in bed so long, but was seemingly in
good health and spirits.
Last week she received another message
from the same spirit She declares She
was ordered to 60 back TO her bed and
remain there until the day OF her death.
She immediately complied. All sorts OF
arguments are being used TO make her get
up. but she is steadfast in her refusa. and
says she will stay in her bed Until she
dies. She will not allow herself TO be
washed, either.

The CAHENSLY GANG.

NEWARK, n. j., Sept. 26.-The sixth
annual convention of the German Catho-
lies of the United States was begun in this
city at noon today. The convention will
in point of influence. as well as of mem
bers, far exceed any previous meeting.
With the members of the many German
Catholic societies, and with the masses of
Catholic laymen generally, the total num-
Der OF participants may safely be placed at
from 1000 to 5000 persons. Every terri
tory within the United States is repre-
sented
The Times says: Archbishop Corrigan
and the German part OF the Roman hier-
archy in this country are united in opposi-
tion against the Americanizing ideas OF
Archbishop Ireland aud Cardinal Gibbons.
The German Catholic congress is 10 pro-
claim the fact of this opposition. in order
to influence the coming archiepiscopal
conference in New York. The German
Catholic convention is really an aggressive
association of the forces of Cahensiyism.
1t is a grand rally of the so-called con-
servative wing within the Roman church
in this country"
The convention began its work today
with meeting Of the German Catholic
young mems societies, which was followed
by a secret conference of The speakers of
the convention. In the evening there was
a torch light procession.

if necessary to protect himself. There
were about 800 people in the hall, great
many being ladies. Lyons was frequently
interrupted, a at last he called npon the
policemen and ushers present To clear the
hall. Amid a scene of wild confusion this
was partially accomplished. When nearly

SPECULATlNG IN BLOOD

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 26.-The Picayune
prints story this morning, upon the au-
thority of an American capitalist, in re-
garl to the recent attempted revolution in
Mexico. The story is of the most sensa-
tioDal nature. Some time since, so the
story goes, the Mexican government
foated sS2 600, 900 in bonds ia Germany.
A big syndicate, among the members
being two Americans. saw a chance to
make fortune, aud so they set about to
depreciate the bonds. This they did by
starting the revolution. Cara was sup
piled with money and set to work Troops
were massed on both sides of the Rio
Grande and great flourish of trumpets
was made, but not a single engagement
took place. All the newspapers were filled
with accounts of the revolution. The par
ties who held the bonds became alarmed
and flooded the market with them, and
Diaz and his syndicate made several mill
ions.

entertained the idea Of erecting a bethel
for the sailors who frequent this port.
Yesterday morning he made the matter a
subject of earnest appeal to the members
OF his congregation. He dwelt at length
upon the great need OF such an institution
in Chicago, and said: "We must do some
thing to save these men. They now have
no place TO 60 but To the dives and sa-

SO iisreputable."
