MYSTERIOUS CRIME.
Promin snt Cit zsn Of Buffalo Killed On

BUFFALO. y. Y, April IS -Montgomery
Gibbs, well known young lawyer, WAS
shot on Delaware avenue. near Bryant
street, this evening at 9:45 o'clock. He
died immediately after his arrival at the
to his assailant. The whole affair Is
shrouded in mystery. AS far as known to
the police no one was seen TO
fire the shots, aud those first TO
arrive on the scene saw oaly a man lying
on the sidewalk with blood pouring from
three wounds and nobody hear at baud.
The idea OF suicide is hardly probable
Mr. Gibbs was q popular and well reputed
citizen aud an able member of his pro
fession. He had no deadly enemies that
his friends are aware of. He was un-
married. Formerly he was "A newspaper
man, beginning his career on the Tele-
graph aud completing it as city editor of
the Republic both of which papers are
now defuuct He was aboai 81 years old.
April 29.-At 2 p. M. tue Clubs mystery
still battles the detectives aud no arrests
have been made. Nobody is suspected.
No weapon has been found. The police
have searched in vain for foot prints or
signs of an encounter. Neither Is there
knowledge. or belief of auy grudge or
eBmity toward the dead man. The assaIi
ants purpose evidently was not robbery
as Gibbs watch, money and jeweIry are iu-
tac even his coat was but;oned tight
All tina. IS positively known is that Gibbs
died from a wound Inflicted by a small
caliber revolver held ar short range nnd
that three shots were heard fired ia rapid
succession. The mysterious absence OF
the weapon as well as motive for suicide
or murder make IL the strangesL Case ia
the annals of Buffalo crimes.

Manager Dickinson Statement.

PORTLAND, Or, April 2S-General Man
ager Dickinson and Assistant General
Superintendent Baxter arrived here this
afternoon on special train. Mr.. Baxter
gave the following account of the capture
of their train at Troutdale by the indus
trial army:
AT the Dalles this morning we had an
lntlmation that crowd of men were
awaiting our special train to capture our
engine; we sent the four ladies of our
party ahead on the regular passenger train
so they would not be subjected to any in
convenience should such arise We started
from the Cascade Locks at 8 o'clock and
when we reached Troutdale there were
500 or 600 men awaiting us. They made a
rush for Us. side-tracked our Car and COZ
fscated the engine.
Marshal Grady and several deputies
were present, but it was useless to make
protest, their numbers were too great
for US. Our engine was hurriedly coupled
to the box cars on the track and the
crowd started east on "A wild rush, regard
less of any trains they might encounter.
They put their own engineer on the loco
motive and IL is just possible that lives
may be lost by this wild train running
into other trains coming from tue OPP
posite direction. We at once wired TO
the United States attorney general at
Washington, who informed us in reply
that troops would lbe sent in pursuit of
those men,"
When the stolen train reached Casca le
Locks the leader Of the army kindly in
formed the company By telegraph that
they were handling all way business. The
Union Pacific had side-tracked all its
trains and left the road open for the tramp
train. Governor Pennoyer, who is at Ash
laud today where he opened the campaign
for the Populist party, refused to call upon
the militia or the United States troops TO
arrest the Commouwealers.
