MURDER WITHOUT HANGING.
And a Little of Every Sort of
Outrage.
OFFICERS NEED A STRONG HAND.
Hungarians and Slavs lnaugurate a
Reign of Terror in the
Coal Regions.

PORT RICHMOND, Pa. May For a
lengthy period much lawlessness has pre-
vailed in the Wyoming Valley coal fields
and hardly week has passed since jan
uary that crime of heinOus character has
not been committed. Within the last
three months crime has been on the in
crease, and Captain Whalen, chief of the
Detective Department, states that thirty
nine mysterious and brutal assassinatiOns
have been committed, besides the consum-
nation of other dark and atrocious deeds
In every instance the crimes have been
traced to Hungarians and Slavonians. who
have managed to escape.
Entire communities have been terroriZed
by members o. an oath-bound organization
whose influence appears to reach from the
anthracite coal regions of Eastern Penn
sylvania to the biiuminous country of
Central Pennsylvania and west of the
Allegheny Mountains to the coke country.
The criminal records of the sections of the
STATE named show that during the past
year over 200 murders have been perpe-
trated, and but seven of the murderers
were apprehended.
The same body of organized outlaws
committing these crimes have also been
guilty of the wholesale destruction of
property, and the value of the coal
breakers and other mine works destroyed
in the anthracite country amounts to nearly
50. 600, 0O0. So great has been the outlawry
within recent period that the authorities
have determined to adopt more resolute
measures to ferret out and apprehend
the law-breakers. whose operations have
left crimson trail in the black diane ond
country.

gion was almost smokeless to-day. At

were met by half dozen policemen who

STOPS THE MILTON STAGE.
His Third Robbery Within a Few
Weeks.
BLEW OPEN THE MoNEY-sAFE.
Passengers Not Molested, But the
Rascal Sends a Threatening
Note to Victim.

MILTON, May For the second time
within few weeks the stage that runs
from Angels Camp 10 Milton was robbed
by one man yesterday morning.
This "lone hghwayman" apes the dar-
ing ways OF Back Bart, and has already
commenced lelter-writiDg. Next he will
drop a rose-scented handkerchief with his
laundry mark and then there will be moth
thing lacking in his crude imitation OF
the once famous terror of Calaveras.
"HaltP'
This was the startling word that greeted
Driver Fred Wesson yesterday as he
swung around curve in the road at Car
mine Hill during the down trip. Wesson
lost no time in obeying the significant
command. A tall man wearing a black
mask and welding a Winchester stood be-
side the road. AS the robber drew bead
on the driver the horses were brought to
such sudden stop hat the four pasSen-
gers inside the lun berlng old coach were
thrown violently from their seats.
Throw off the box, lively" shouted the
robber, and as Wells, Fargo & Co.'S iron
safe was passed to him he added, "and
I'm the man that stood up the Sonora and
Milton stage last week."
Now then drive right ahead for five
miles and don't look back" ordered the
robber. Then seeming to change his mind
the higbwayman handed the driver pack
age to be shipped to Sonora. stating that 1t
contained articles he took from the Sonora
stage last week. The fellow spoke joy
ously and seemed to think he was per-
petrating an immense joke.
Wesson needed no second invitation to
proceed Before a half-mile had been
traversed the driver and passengers heard
dull report and they knew that the
treasure box had been blown open.
The exact amount of money taken is not
known, but the sum is said to be quite
large.
Upon reaching Milton the robbery was
reported to Detective Thacker, who is
working on the recent stage-robberies.
When Wesson examined the bundle
handed him by the robber he discovered
that note had been tucked under the
strings. The note read as follows:
'.Some advice to you. Mr.. Barr. and all
other good detectives besides, is let me rob
and let your notices slide.
"MR- WHITEINGs,
''Croe Greek, Buzard Lake."
Mr.. Barr was passenger on the Sonora
stage when it was stood up last Wednes-
day, and the bold highwayman evidently
takes exception to the stories he relates
about that affair.
There is little doubt that the three rob
berries committed in this county during the
past month were the work Of the same
man.
Wesson says the fellow is fully feet
high, has light short hair. large forehead
and weighs about 100 pounds. Detectives
in the employ of the express company are
swarming over the county, but so far they
have obtained no clew to the robber
Neither have they picked up a handker-
chief with the robbers laundry mark
Until he drops this important clew to his
identity the robber will not be Black
Bart's equal

Mr.. Bell in a Fog.
BY W. H. T. WAKEFIELD.

b1 W. IL Is WAKEFIELD
If John w. Bell plead his
law cases as he does that of
opposition to the single-tax, he
should have an enormous practice, for
we should think every litigant would
be anxious to have him on the other
side.
His article in your issue of August
20 is curiosity in the line of circular
reasoning, but the only fact estab-
lished by it is that Mr.. Bell either
knows nothing whatever about the
single-tax, or that he Intentionally
misrepresents it, and is not really in
favor of land reform, as he claims to
be. l think the first hypothesis is cor
rect, and that he is simply befogged
by a question he has not studied,
though it has been suggested that the
valuable coal lands belonging to his
wife lin Pennsylvania may have
clouded his perceptions a little.
Nothing could be more impossible
than his plan Of dividing up land by
