the way for the pigtail, which marks

of coal oil to free him from the tar, but
he will suffer no serious harm. When

feathers had been applied, his face was
turned toward Palmer Lake and be
was told never to show his face in Grip
pie Creek or Colorado Springs again.
He walked fourteen miles before he
applied for aid at ranch house. Help
was promptly given him. After the tar
was removed man who had been one
of the Cripple Creek deputies took him
to Palmer Lake in his buggy, and
thence he came by rail to Denver.
A mass meeting of about fifty thous-
and people was held in Lincoln Park
this afternoon to condemn the outrage
perpetrated upon Adjt Gen Tarsney
Saturday morning in Colorado Springs.
Governor Waite was received with
tumultnous applause and when he hot
ly spoke his views of the outrage tie
crowd cheered wildly and cries OF "Giye
it to them!" were frequently heard.
Resolutions were adopted with a
shout determining the punishment Of
the perpetrators and declaring that II
the peace officers of Colorado Springs
did not act some means would be made
to bring the miscreants to justice.
Governor Wait will issue a proclama-
ton tomorrow. Gen Tarsney was very
weak to-day and still suffers keenly
from his injuries. a story is current
that five deputies went out Of Denver
on the night of the assault on Tarsney,
and returned the following day from
the south. A paper was picked up at
Palmer Lake containing description
of the assault and that Governor Waite
would come next.
