LYNCHiNG AT GOLDEN.
Alexander McCurdv Meets . Worse Fate
than HIS Victim.

The horrible crime committed by Alexander
McCutdy OF Golden against his step-brother,
Arthur Berry, has been avenged. At an
early hour Saturday morning McCurdy was
taken from the jail by strong band of men,
and after being accorded the same treatment
which he inflicted upon his victim, was
lynched from a bridge across Clear Creek.
1t will be remembered that McCurdy mu-
tilated Berry because the latter had been in
Innate with Mrs. McCurdy. AT least Berry
was charged with the crime by Mrs. McCurdy
The people of Golden were very Indignant at
McCurdy at the time he mutilated Berry and
apparently this feeling was not allayed BY
his recent conviction of mayhem. He was
sentenced TO three years in the penitentiary.
A party Of twenty men lynched McCurdy.
They got into the Jail at o'clock Saturday
morning by pretending to have a prisoner.
McCurdy was seized and despite his resistance
taken from the jail. In the Jail yard he was
treated as he had treated Berry. He was
then dragged to the new bridge OF the Lake
wood road and quickly Iynched.
Sheriff George Kelly was notified OF what
was going on but did not reach the bridge
until too late to save the victim. He did sue
ceed in taking prisoner two men whom they
had posted guards. These men were con-
veyed to the jail, but recently the scene OF 20
horrible an occurrence. They were John
Richweine and John Koch and they were
quickly persuaded to furnish the sheriff with
the names OF all OF their comrades, none Of
whom Jailer Kerr had been able 10 recognize
on account OF their masks
In the morning the coroner convened n
jury to sit upon the death Of McCurdy and
take action in regard TO H. From the testi-
mony there introduced 1t was decided to at
once swear out warrants for the arrest Of all
the men who took part in the lynchlng.

Coal strike AEitators Arrcsted.

As was anticipated there was a little yarIc-
ty added to the monotony Of the strike situa-
ton at Hastings Saturday. Early in the
morning the crowd OF visiting miners arrived
from Acuilar, where they had oamped during
the uight, and as sort Of n feeler detach-
mcnt OF ffiy headed by a band started to
march TO the mines. When they had reached
the limits of the town Sheriff Radford at the
head Of a posse met them, read his njunc-
tion papers, and told them that they would
not be permitted 10 trespass on the company 5
property. They dciicd him, and said that
they would go on in spite of the deputies.
AZ they attempted to proceed Mr.. Radford
ordered his posse to surround and arrest them.
which was done without any delay. The
prisoners were loaded into box cars and taken
to Cheosa under guard. Later S. 7. Cham
bcrs, who was In command of the army and
has been an organizer and general leader, was
placed under arrest, as were also Dominick
VIronda, 10 Borassa and Il. Malta, the two
latter being found with rcvolvers In their
possession. The three were at once brough,
TO Trinidad aud placed In jail. Habeas cor
pus proceedings were at once instituted by
friends OF the strikers to have them released,
but the matter will not be decided for several
days.
sheriff Radford in the afternoon released
the fifty miners who were under arrest and
held at Chicosa hut the four who were placed
in Jail were retained. Itts reported that the
strikers congregated at Hastings are leaving
in squads and It Is not likely that they will be
gotten together again.

THE LOTTERIES.

The Chinese still at Work-The Police
COURT Cases.
For a time it locked as though the
passage of the ordinance meking 1t
misdemeanor for anyone to have lot
terry ticket in his possession would tend
to decrease the lottery evil in this city.
1t cannot be said that the passage OF
this ordinance has stopped the evil in
the least, for besides the sales OF tickets
by Americans, the Chinese lottery
joints are again running in full blast.
There was cessation in the drawings
for time, but they have again bios
somed out in all their pristine glory and
are run openly in defiance of the law.
The Chinese issued a numerical tick
ct, in the hopes OF lodging the officers,
but since several of the celeetisls have
been convicted for having the new style
tickets in their possession, they have
returned to the old Chinese style.
Only last week the lottery agents and
gamblers held meetings and put up
money to secure protection; that is,
to hire Chinese to be on the lookout
during the hours of drawing. 1t is re-
msrkable with what precision these
almond-eved celestials act when an OFF,
Ger puts in an appearance. They stroll
up and down the street at certain hours,
always ON the lookout, until the draw
ings are over. Not even a customer is
allowed to be present if the Chinese
have not the greatest confidence in him.
Under such circumstances it ls indeed
very hard matter to convict them.
The following Chinese are running
lotteries: Wong Chung, Marchessault
and Alameda streets; Quong Lung, 3l5
Marchessault street; Quong Sang Wo
Kee, North Los Angeles street, and sew
eral others. Each of them has from two
to five Chinese employed to watch the
places during hours of drawing.
Max kaufman was the frat to be ar
rested for selling lottery tickets after
the new ordinance went into effect. He
has no less than 10 charges against him,
all of which are now pending in Justice
Auetin's court. The defense made by
kaufman is that the ordinance is un-
constitutional in that the clause sit
shall be unlawful for any person TO have
in his possession. unless it be shown
that such possession be innocent" etc.,
shifts the burden OF proof upon the de-
fendant, contrary TO criminal prece-
dents.
Max Harris was the next to fall into
the clutches of the law Tor selling lottery
tickets. He has FIVE charges against
him, and his clerk, Ernest Comport, has
three, the warrants being sworn ont by
two new policemen, Heidi and Rich
ards. The cases were called in Judge
Austin's court yesterday, and the men
were given until today at 2 O'Clock to

| The news that Judge McKenns, as
presiding judge of the United States
court OF appeals, had refused to interfere
with the decision of Judge Ross in cen
fencing 40 Industrisls to jail. was re-
ceived yesterday by the Commonwealers
with great disappointment.
Nearly all of the 40 men confined in
the Los Angeles county Jail expressed
hope that the decision would yet be
declared void by their release on habeas
corpus at the session of the court of APP
peals on the first Monday in July. They
are perfectly willing, they say, to serve
out the sentence of four months in the
cause which they have pledged them
selves to support. They give J. Marion
Brooks much praise for the persistency
with which he Has handled their case.
Mrs. Anna Smith, who led the army
while it WAS at Oakland. ia daily visit
or at the Jail. She consults with the
imprisoned men on matters pertaining
to the Industrial cause, and still advises
the men, upon release, to push on to

cause for which she has been chosen one
of the leaders. Mrs. Kelly, wife of
General Kelly, who started east with

The children Of Sylvester D. Barber,

begun suit to ASSERT their rights. The
complaint was filed yesterday by John

The children allege that their father
died April 2 1898, leaving property both

not known to them. They do know,
however, that there were certain lots
constituting block seven of the Pioneer
Building Lot association OF Los Angeles

these lots were community property but
that by some means their mother in
duced ner husband to convey the prop
erty to her, and that she holds the title
wropgfully. They also claim that she
concealed the fact that the lots belonged
to the estate and they only found it out
a month ago.
They claim that this and all other
property belonging TO the estate is COM

to two-sixths of it. They have trans
