one little child, and wounded a woman.
Mitchell had been in the city all day and
had imbibed more or less in intoXicants,
and when he went to the depot was pre-
sumably in fighting mood. No one
knows exactly how the quarrel started
between the dasperado and the men TO
whom it resulted fatally, together with
the innocent child and woman who had
no part in the quarrel at all. The des-
perodo pulled his revolver and began
shooting with the foregoing result, The
station was crowded, and when the
shooting began there was Il rush for tn,
doors. The crowd was panic str a!icn
with the exception of few brave men,
and many We're badly hurt in the crush
getting out of the station. Mitchell
emrtied his revol. er, and with each shot
some one fcll-fir5t the thr"" men. then
the woman, and last the little child.
The noise of the shooting brought officers
to the scene and Mitchell was arrested.
He may be lynched.

Annrchs on Trial.

Vienna. Feb. 20. = The trial Of the
twelve anarchists arrested in September
last, charged with conspiring the life Of
Emperor Francis Joseph, began to-day.
The defense asked that part of the pro-
ceedings be made public, but the court
ruled that the trial should take place in
secret. The proceedings promise to be
memorable in the history of anarchy, az
the case is one of the most sensational
and romantic on record. The trial Of
these twelve men, in view of the recent
anarchist exploits in Europe, will be fol-
lowed with the keenest interest here, and
doubtless in the United States as well,
for the prisoners are said to be closely
connected with the anarchists of America.
