THE RUSH IS OVER.

Comedy Which Was Interrupted by o
Constable.
The Mott Market restaurant was doing
rushing business yesterday noon. The
proprietor, John Bielopero, was not in,
because he expected an addition to his
family, way over in Boyle Heights.
Pretty soon the dishwasher dropped a
pile of dishes on the floor. The cook
expressed his dissatisfaction in terse
Slavonic words, which must have hurt
the dishwasher's feelings. because he
dumped some more plates under the
counter, put on his coat and walked out.
An old lottery ticket peddler, who was
eating Calls head, Spanish style, started
up an inceeHant chatter about revolu-
ton or dissolution, or something that
sounded that way. This ratified the
waiter, and he too let some crockery
down on the floor with a bang. The
cook was hot and jswed around like a
house afire.
Just then in walked the constable,
who edged his way in behind the coun.
ter and made a concerted dash with
both hands for the money till. He was
disappointed. 1t could be seen in his
face. Only few dollars rewarded his
industry, and the attachment he had in
his pocket called for over 5000. Then
he gathered in the quarters of the few
whom the racket in the restaurant had
not vet scared away from their dinner.
The cook then took off his apron and
put ON his cutaway. the waiter donned
his panama, the constable locked the
door, and peace supreme, compared to
which innocuous desuetude is but pale
expression, reigned in the Mott Market
restaurant.

meeting OF 800 citizens demand the re-
lease of Vinette and his followers" He

A new warrant was issued yesterday
and Deputy Sheriff Pourad of San Ber-
nardino came here to serve it, but he
found Pinther absent.
A HERALD reporter called at Pinther'a
residence, at D23 South Main, at 10
O'Clock last night. and found him gone.
His young son stated that his father
had not been home since Wednesday
night, and that he did not know whore

The continued absence OF Pinther
from his home leads to the 1urmiss that

MURDERED BY HIRED MEN.
Young Farmer Has His Head Crushed

A Young Farmer Has His Head Crushed
and His Throat Cut.
WHEATON, I'LL, Dec. 12.-Edward OFT,
son of Louis OFT, well-todo farmer
residing / mile from this place,
was brutally murdered by two
hired hands at o'clock Tues
day evening. The murderers had
been stopping at the farm only
about week, having tramped their
way to the place, where they applied
for work. They were quiet men
and appeared to be wholly inof-
fensive. All went we'll until last
evening, when the two men, accompa-
MED by young OFT, who was
"a years old, went out to the
stable to do the chores, such as feeding
horses, cattle. etc. The elder OFT had
gone to neighboring farm, leaving
his wife and son alone with the two
men. Soon after the men left the
house Mrs. OFT heard some one
started to investigate. At the
door OF her house she was met by the
two hired men. one of whom seized
her by the throat and threatened to
shoot her if she attempted to make an
cutlery. Meanwhile the other man
searched the house, finding a gold
watch and $55, which they took and
hurried away from the neigh borhood.
Finds Her Murdered BOY.
Mrs. OFT then weat TO the barn and
there she found the lifeless body of
her son. The BODY was bathed in
blood and the floor was covered with
blood. The young mans throat
had been cut and his head
crushed in. 1t is thought the
young man was first struck
with club and, grooming, attracted
his mothers attention. Then, fearing
immediate detection, the murderers
used knife, with which they severed
his throat. 1t was quite evident from the
appearance of the barns interior that
a fierce struggle took place between
young OFT and his slayers before he
was dealt the quieting blow. One of the
murderers is an Englishman of about
As years while the other is German
of 80 or 81 years. Their true names
are not known, as the former was sim
ply known as Samuel and the latter as
