Two 0utrages by Lawless Gangs
Near Saranao Lake.
One OF the Marauders Receives a
Probably Fatal Wound.

SARANAC LAKE, N. Y, June s.-A
White Cap outrage Is reported from
Belmont, this county. A man named
John Armo. his wife and their blind
baby lived in IA little house near the
Barnard sawmill. For some reason
which does not appear. some twenty
three men and boys came to the conclu-
sion that they would drive them from
the house. Late at night they appeared
in masks with tin pans and drums. This
did not have the desired effect and the
windows were stoned.
Armo grabbed the blind child and
escaped to the woods. but the woman
was captured by the Whitecaps, and,
stripping her of her clothes, they
doused her in the cold water OF the
river near by. Seventeen of the White
caps nave been served with writs for
personal damages. Three were lodged
in jail.
Another outrage and shooting ARRAY
occurred at Owls Head. A scandal was
for some time connected with the life of
Albion Elliot. who lived at a lonely spot.
and the young men of the country there
abouts determined that he should leave.
He was served with a notice, but in
stead of leaving prepared for an ex-
pected attack.
About midnight a large mob came and
attacked the house with stones, clubs
and rifles. Some shots had been fired
when Elliott threw open the door and
fired out into the darkness. Two of the
mob were slightly wounded. and a third,
Wallace Lester, was injured, 1t is
thought, fatally. Lester was missed by
his comrades in the dark, and not found
until morning.
Elliot and others have been landed in
Jail and will have a hearing before JUS
tice Mannix. of Malone.

Quite enough suspicion attaches to the
Park Department to make It desirable
that changes should be mad in the
Commission. The bitter fight made
against the people In the matter Of the
speedway sidewalks. the queer work In
connection with the contracts for the
speedway construction, the secrecy and
apparent crookedness in the use Of the
one million dollar relief fund and other
matters have long seemed to demand
the Mayors attention.
The asphalt business now looks as II
It might lead to more than n municipal
investigation. Are nine hundred and
ninety-nine dollar contracts to be again
revived? Are they an evasion OF the
law? Were or are any OF the Park
Commissioners interested in the asphalt
company? These are questions that may
well be considered in a Grand Jury room.
But that does not remove the obligation
OF the Mayor to keep the municipal de.
partments clean and effective.
