Daring Attempt to Hold Up
Citizen in the Wholesale Dis
trict Thursday Night.
The Premature Discharge of o
Revolver Saves the Victim
From Injury.

A tough-looking citizen who gave his
name as Philip Cameron was arrested
last night by Detectives McGuiggan
and Meyerding on charge of vagrancy.
When searched at the station Cameron
was found to be walking arsenal. five
revolvers being found on his person.
The detectives are of the opinion that
the fellow is one of gang of highway
men who Thursday night "stuck up'' a
pedestrian at Rosabel and Fourth
streets.
The name of the victim could not be
learned, as the police claim nothing of
the kind occurred. Their statement to
the contrary Notwithstanding, an en-
ploye of the Northern Pacific road was
grabbed by three thugs about II o'clock
Thursday night, and while one of the
highWaymen showed pistol in his face
the other two grasped him by the arms.
Not at all scared by the gang, the
victim started in to make fight.
Luckily for him. the revolver held close
to his face was discharged, and, as the
noise of the shot brought several mem
bers of neighboring fire company to
the scene. the robbers ran away.
Yesterday the man who was held up
had to engage the services Of doctor to
take out the powder which was blown
into his face when the weapon was dis
charged. Cameron claims to live in
Chicago, and says he bought the re-
yolvers from man on the street. In
addition to the revolvers he had AZ
cents in cash in his pockets.

LONG, VULGAR LETTERS.
ReueI Williams Is Again Placed
ON Trial for Writing and
Mailing Them.
His Wife, to Whom They Were
Sent, Is Determined to Pun
ish the Old Man.

Reuel Williams was arrested on
bench warrant yesterday, and went be-
fore United STATES Commissioner Will
lam A. Spencer and gave $500 bail to
appear before the United States district
court and stand trial upon an indict-
ment charging him with sending vulgar
letters through the mails. He is said to
have sent the letters to his wife, from
whom he is separated. He had hear
ing before Commissioner Spencer some
months ago. and was discharged Oh the
theory that he believed he did not vi0
late the law in sending the letters to his
wife. He was afterwards indicted.
The case Is peculiar one and.will
create considerable interest on the trial.
The letters sent his wife were said to
have been afterwards mailed by her
brother to Aid. Hickman at Merriam
Park. 1t Is said by some of the people
about the postoffice that the brother is
as much liable under the law as Will
Jams if 1t can be shown that he sent the
letters through the mail.
The wife and. her friends are said to
be vindictive and want to punish Will
Jams, who is an old man and rather &C.
centric. The letters are very lengthy
and are exceedingly vulgar. The old
gentleman does not deny writing them.
The writing was done with pencil,
and must have occupied days in the
preparation. Much of the matter is
written in rhyme. with words frequently
underScored several times.
