Several Arrests Made of Persons Ac-
Quainted With Bergman.

night by Secretary Loyejoy Of the Carnegie
Company, charging felonous assault on
Frick and Leshman. and entering the build

sault II Bergman gets the limit of the law
on these informations he will get 80 years in
prison. Rumors are in circulation that
some anarchists have come here from Chi
ezgo and an attempt will be made to pass
dynamite into the prisoner. The authorities,
however, take little stock In the story, but
Will take due precaution.
This afternoon detectives arrested Casper
Knold, a workman at Taylor & Deans wire
mill, on the charge CT being an accomplice
of Bergman. Knold saws Bergman came to
MIN July Il with letter of Introduction
from Herr Most. He stayed with Kuold
until last Thursday. Friday knold met
him uptown and pointed out the Carnegie
Office to him. Knold claims TO have de-
stroyed Herr Mosts letter. Pan Eckert
was also arrested, but was soon afterward
released.
The fact that Bergman presented letter
from Most subStaDtiates the latter's ella i'm
that be is acquainted with the prisoner, and
reflects upon the veracity Of Bergman, who
asserted last night that he nevar met Most.
Other arrests are looked for soon.
a man whose name the police refuse 10
give was arrested this afternoon as aD &C
complice of Bergman, the would-be assassin
of Frick.
The police authorities are convinced to-
night that the attempted assassination of
Frick was an anarchistic plot that NAV be
as great in scope as that for which Spies
and his companions were hanged They
have the names Of a number of persons in
New York, Long Branch, Hoboken and
other places whom they think are impIi-
Gated, and kilograms have been sent to have
them arrested. A number of arrests will
probably be made here tomorrow.
Later in the evening the police searched
Knold's house and discovered a large
amount of anarcbistic literature; some of
the most ineendiary description. Among
the stuff captured we're letters from anarch-
lists in Chicago. New York, Hoboken and
other places Knold admitted that he had
received letters from Herr Most concerning g
Bergman. Most told him Bergman was q
bad man.
Robert Sturlula. who was arrested at
Soho for expressing an intention of killing
Carnegie, has been turned over to the
Charities Bureau as harmless lunatic.

SACRAMENTO. July 25.-Another fight
which De Young has been mixing himself
up in is down In the Sixth District. where
he has combined with Harrison Gray Otis
to do up Harvey Lindley. Otis took off his
coat and sailed in. but Harry Osborne of the
Los Angeles Express smashed him into
corner. and Otis was counted out
The result is that Lindley will be nom-
mated at Santa Cruz on Friday and another
hole will loom up in the De Young slate.
The Kearny-street publisher in fact, seems
to be getting it on all sides. and while he
looks cheerful lie must be q little sad at

Down in the Third District his hand is
again apparent, and he is likely to get
another smash there. The Senatorial boom
has got mixed up in Hiborn's fight for the
nomination for Congress. but Hilborn is
not sure winner by any manner Of means.

outsider the situation is about ike this:

Passenger Train Crashes Into a Crowded
Platform at Chicago

CHICAGO. July 25.-A large crowd Of COL
ored people assembled at Grand Central
depot this morning, bound for picnic at
Columbia Park. The platforms of the
depot were jammed, when switch engine
pulled in on the west track, having in tow
Baltimore and Ohio passenger train. The
people on the platform say the engine was
running II miles an hour. As the train ap-
preached the end Of the track, which ter
minated in front OF the platform, Engineer
Williams applied the airbrakes TO stop, but
for some reason they had no effect. He re-
verseG the engine and tried to stop, but the
momentum of the heavy train behind hin
carried him ahead. The train crashed
through the bumper and into the platform,
striking down number Of people. Great
confusion ensued, and some Of the colored
men wanted to lynch Engineer Williams,
but the police rescued him. Nearly 20 peo-
pie were more or less seriously hurt, and
two of them-Mrs. Dinah Carr and Henry
Young-will probably die. Engineer Will
liams asserts that he was only running six
miles an hour and says some one must have
tampered with the aiTvalves.

RANCHERs GETTING EXCITED.

Hurrying in Hot Haste to Make Their
Homes Secure.
TRES PINos. July 25.-The throwing open
of the big railroad grant has caused much
agitation among the San Benito County
ranchers, who contracted with tbs Southern
Pacific for the lands on which they now live.
The ranchers arc rushing into HollIster to
file applications for homesteads and the
lawyers are raking in good many small
fees. The farmers are saved a trip to San
Francisco by this means, but many of the
more anxious ones are going there anyway
to see that their deeds are not lost in the
shuttle.
Those who bought land from the railroad
company and have seen its forfeiture to the
Government are not worried where they
understand the situation. The trepidation
is among those who do not understand.
In every case where person has bought
land from the railroad and it has been for
feited TO the Government that person has
the prior right TO file on the land. and IL he
Is at all bright he Will not lose it.
County Recorder Shaw is a busy man just
now. The applications are coming in upon
him thick and fast.
81 will not try to discourage homeseek-
eTs, he said to me this afternoon, "but
there is very little good land that seems
available for them under the homestead
law in this county. Still 1t may be worth
while for them to look about. Itd0es not cost
much and some Of them may strike it. 1t
Is likely that some tracts are fenced In which
are really open to the homesteader, did he
but know where to hunt for them. The
trouble is that most persons coming here
from the outside could not possibly find
ranch land if they had ever so much time to
hunt for it. If such land Is to be had, it
will be secured by the shrewd. enterprisin &
men who are used to hunting for land and
know all about the trick of it.
Two young men went over into Browns
Valley and found small tract of good land
on which they will file, and l have heard OF
other cases. 1t is certainly worth while for
those who understand it to make search,
but they must be prepared for disappoint-
ments. While there may be good land to be
had for the mere locating. what is left after
the Mexican grants and the possessions of
prior claimants are taken out, is, fear, for
the most part nothing but hills, on which a
man would hardly be able to make living
if he tUok up whole section"

Cleveland on the Tariff.

New YORK, July 25.-The Commercial

on the question to the party and the public
in n special letter. 1t Is said this will be
entirely separate from his formal letter Of

PITTsBURG, July 25.-Alexander Berg
man, who attempted to assassnate Frck
Saturday, worked in New Haven, Conn,
three years ago as a compostor. He was
known as radical anarchist and lived with
woman of the same stripe, who afterward
left him.
The feeling is growing here that Bergman
was not alone in his work; that the attempt
TO asssssinate Mr.. Frick was the result of
plot, and that Bergman was chosen and sent
here to do the work An investigation has
been started on this particular line.
Bergman, when told this morning that
Frick would recover, said: We'll, Pm
GOrry for that" Bergman says he was born
al st. Petersburg, Russia, and educated at
one of the leading colleges there. When
told that the people considered his act most
eowardly and that he had no sympathizers.

IL. / am willing 10 suffer the consequences"
Bergman declared he lad no cOnfederates.
He asked for newspapers and said he wanted
