MASKED HIGHWAYMEN
Hold Up Street Car and the Con-
ductOr Robbed.

nolu Up d oGreeI Sar anu inc COu-
ductor Robbed.
About IL 80 O'clock last night,
when car no 50 on the Cemetery
line reached the top of the hill on
East Commerce street, a man with
a red handkerchief, and carrying a
club in his hand, boarded the front
part Of the car. A moment later
two masked men stepped on the
rear platform, covered the conduc-
tor, q. A. Brooks, with their revolt
vers, jerked the trolley from the
wire and demanded all the money
Brooks had. The frightened con-
ductor turned over 1915 of the COM
pany's money and $40 belonging to
himself.
In the meantime Karl Weilbach-
err, the motOman, was struggling
with the man in front and sue
ceeded in getting his club. He
ran to the nearest telephone and
summoned the mounted police.
By the time he had returned to the
car, however, the trio of robbers
had fled. Soon Officers Peterson
and Cadena were on the scene, but
the night being dark long search
proved of no avail and the officers
returned to the station.
Fortunately, Weilhacher was not
robbed, as he proved to be a better
man, physically, than the robber,
whom he claims was a Mexican,
for in the combat the motorman
pulled the handkerchief off his
face.
The hold-up was evidently pre-
meditated for some time and the
work was done by men well ac-
quainted with the situation. Yes
terday was pay day at the Office of
the street car company, and this
fact being known by the highway
men, no doubt, led to the dastardly
work.
Officers are now in search Of the
men and have hopes Of capturing
the Mexican, at least, as the motor
man claims he can identify him.

ORIGIN OF LYNCH LAW.
1t Began in Virginia and Was Not
Violent or Moblike.

IL OSSdh III virginia ana was MOI
Violent or Moblike.
New York Herald.
Lynch law had its origin in Vir-
ginia, according to the conclusions
OF a gentleman who has been in
vestigating the early history OF
that state. 1t was not mob law, as
1t is now understood. 1t was order
ly, methodical and fair in its pro-
cesses, and was strongly opposed
to violence or mob rule. Its dis
tinctive feature was simply that
its DEGREES and findings were exc
cuted sternly and swiftly upon the
spot of their delivery.
Charles Lynch, whose name is
associated with the summary pro-
ceedings now known as acts OF
"lynch law" was a revolutionary
soldier, and after the war ended
took up his residence in Pittsyl-
vania county. The region in
which he lived became, at one
period of the Revolution, in
tested by bands of tories and out
laws, whose depre dations upon
the defenceless people extended
from the 10 wer parts of North Car
DINA and Virginia to the Blue
Ridge and the head warters of the
James and other mountain
streams. Deserte RS from both arm
les added strength and semblance
of organization to their opera tions.
Wherever they appeared the
terror stricken inhabitants were
plundered, harassed and merciless-
ly subjected to every variety .of
insult and outrage. A remedy was
needed for this insufferable state
of things, remedy that should at
once strike terror to these miscre-
ants as would relieve communi-
ty already suffering from the ef-
fects of hostile invasion. Colonel
Lynch is the man to take the lead
in such an emergency. He succeed
ed in organizing a body of patriot
ic citizens, men of known charac-
ter and standing.
Having laid plans before them.
and securing their approval, he at
once proceeded to put them into
execution. AT the head Of his fol-
lowers he promptly got upon the
track Of the unsuspecting enemy,
captured many and caused the
others to flee from the country.
When any of these outlaws fell in
to his hands they were not taken
at once to a tree and hanged or
tied to stake and shot, as is now
done under the perverted system
of the present day. This was not
according to the code of Colonel
Lynch and his followers.
So far from such a lawless pro-
cedure a jury was selected from
Lynch'S men, over which he pre-
sided as judge; the captives were
tied separately, the accused allow
ed to make his own defence, and to
show cause if he could, why he
should not be punished. If found
guilty the punishment was in
| iiicted on the spot. The general
impression has been that in all
cases Of Lynch law the penalty
was death. This is mistake. A
writer who knew Colonel Lynch
well was assured by him that he
| never willingly condemned GRIM
inal to capital punishment; that
prisoners were frequently let of
with a severe flogging and then
liberated on condition that they
would leave the country.

PORTLAND. Oct l2-TSpeciai. Frank
Michaeis. a iaboring man residing at
Tenth and Glisan streets, while walking
on the Northern Pacific railroad
track this evening just north of
the North Pacific lumber mills,
was held up by two men
and upon his refusal to disgorge the few
dollars he possessed was shot by one of his
assailanis and painfully but not seriously
wounded. That is the story Michaels told
Chief of Police Hunt when he presented
himself, covered with blood, at the police
station shortly after o'clock. He re-
moved his hat and showed the chief an
ugly looking wound just above the right
temple. The ball had not penetrated the
skull. but had glanced upward and was
found imbedded in the flesh between
the skull and scalp. Michaels
cannot give the slightest clue to his assas-
sins, except that their faces were black
and they wore black clothing. He
could not say whether the men were
negroes or had their faces blackened or
wore masks. Michaels was unconscious
for nearly two hous, and when he recov-
cred his money was gone and he was lying
between the rails. where the footpads had
left him. Fortunately no trains had
passed during that time

Can.s BE Militiamen.

san FRAycrsco. Oct. 1.-THE Sailors
Union OF the Pacific is reported to be in ;
very bad way. The recent dynamite out
rage on Main street. by which Curtains
non-union boarding house was blown up
and four men killed. is generally attributed
to the Sailors Union. Since the outrage
several big shipping firms have gone over
to the Ship Owners Association and re-
fused to do business with the union. Now
union sailors cannot get employment, and
union boarding masters viii not keep
them any longer. This morning many wers
swarming around seeking q chance TO get
berth on the British ship Spoke. Some
paid SIS in order to secure the privilege of
working for $50 month.
Last night over $50 members slept on the
floor and in the corridors of the union
headquarters. At 8 p. m. coffee and dry
crackers were served out, and then the
sailors picked out the softest planks on
which to sleep. Men who came struggling
in after o o'clock had TO sleep in the hall
way, and when that was filled had to sit
on the stairs. There are now five sailors
fonevery vacancy. and when the whaling
feet gets in and dumps its hundreds of
mea on the beach times are sure TO be very
hard. Secretary Andrew Furuseth will
not admit that the sailors union has
fallen upon evil days, still he does not
deny that 100 to $50 of the members sleep
on the floor of the unions headquarters
every night.
Posr TOWNSEND. Oct. 12-[Special. +
The authorities in San Francisco and Port
Townsend believe that Fred Johnson, alias
Wilson, Swede sailor whom they suspect
as being implicated in placing dynamite
bomb in John Curtains boarding house,
San Francisco, q few weeks ago. has visited
Puget sound. A few days ago Chief Crow
ley wired up from San Francisco to Chief
OF Police Z. E. Hickman that he believed
Johnson was heading for this point and
asked for his arrest. The telegram gave a
minute description of the suspected man,
and added that Secretary Furseythe,
OF the Coast Scamen's Union in San Fran
cisco, had sent 500 to the local agent here.
Chief Hickman received the telegram
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the day
that the 800 was received, and a couple of
hours after the Kingston had left for Vic
toria. On investigation Hickman ascer-
tanned that Swede sailor completely tai
lying with Chief Crowley's description
had been here that day and was seen in
conversation with union sailors. 1t was
on that day that the local agent received
telegraphic exchange from San Francisco
for $500. The suspect shipped aboard the
Kingston and left for Victoria. Chief
Hickman wired the authorities in Victoria
to intercept the man. but the telegram was
not delivered until four hours after the ar
rival of the steamer in Victoria. Since
that time nothing has been heard Of the
man. and the theory prevails that he is
making his way TO the Atlantic coast or
Australia.
