AND FEATHERED HIM
Colorado Springs Mob Ma!treats
General Tarsney.
Masked Men Take the Militia Commander
From His Hotel at Midnight
Clubbcd Into Submission with
the Butt OF q Revolver,

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, June ca,
Probably the most glaring outrage
connected with the celebrated Cripple
Creek trouble was committed shortly
after midnight.
Adjutant General Tarsney of the
Colorado State National guard, who
was stopping ut the Alamo hotel, was
called from his room shortly after IL
o'clock and informed that some person
ut Cripple Creek wished to speak to
him over the telephone. When
General Tarsney appeared at the
clerks desk to answer the alleged call
he was suddenly confronted by 0
masked man armed with two revolvers.
who requested him to accompany him.
The hotel clerk in the meantime had
been placed under guard by one of the
kidnapers. Tarsney Immediately
called for help, and was as quickly
dubbed into submission with n re.
volver and almost instantly several
more of the ~kidnapers appeared and
"a, ried him to the sidewalk, where two
closed carriages under guard were In
waiting.
The cmbarkation was the work OF
only u moment, and then ensued n wild
ride east on Cucbarras and north On
Weber streets, then east TO Austin
Bluffs at the city limits. On each
drivers box sat q man with q drawn
revolver who saw that the hack drivers
promptly obeyed orders. Arriving on
the open Prairie at Austin
Bluffs, General Tarsney was removed
from the carriage and stripped naked
and a cont of tar and feathers was I'D.
miuistered. Tho ringleaders OF the
kidnapers had previously given orders
that Tarsney was not TO be abused.
This order seem 20 have been obeyed
after the general was subdued by club
bling at the hotel. After the tar and
feathering of General Tarsney the mob
warned him against returning to the
Springs.
While the mob was at the hotel Po-
lice officer Agard heard the call for as
sistance, and while on tho way 10 rem
der aid was stopped by another mem1
Der of the tarring party and compelled
at tho point Of a revolver to halt until
the balance of the mob had secured
Tarsney. In less than ten minutes
after the hacks had departed, three
mounted police started in hot pursuit
Of the abductors. One Of these officers
Who struck the right trail and came up
with the mob was overpowered and
was an involuntary witness Of the das-
tardly rap 70.

New YORK, June 23.-John Evans,
ex-governor of Colorado, In behalf Of
himself and other shareholders Of the
Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf Rail-
way company, has begun an action in
The supreme court here against the
Union Pacific Railway company. It's re-
ceivcrs, the Central Trust company, the
American Loan and Trust company,
and the Mercantile Irast company,
and others, for 500. 900, 900. Mr.. Evans
complains hat the Union Pacific COM
pany in order to secure the position
and control of the roads operated by
the Denver, Texas and Fort Worth
company, in 1882, and to combine all
the roads owned and controlled by both
companies, entered into an agreement
VI consolidation through Charles Fran
els Adams, then president of the Union
Pacific Railway company, and Gran
Vile NJ. Dodge, a Union Pacific di-
rector and also president Of the Dem
yer, Texas and Fort Worth railway
company, without tho consent Of the
stockholders OF the different roads men
toned. The agreement was entered
into April /, 1890, the terms being made
for the transportation Of all the bust
ness in hat section of the country and
in equal division Of the earnings.
Evans alleges the intention was to OBJ
tain control Of the property Of the con-
solidated company, to suppress compe-
tition, 10 control the boards Of directors
Of both companies, and gain all the
offices. Evans alleges that the prop
erty of the Gulf company may be- sold
for the nonpayment Of the interest on
its bonds, and he therefore asks for nm
injunction TO restrain oil the parties
mentioned from In any way interfering
with the disposition Of the bonds or
selling them, and that the Union Pa
cifc company may be compelled to
render an accounting Of its dealings
with the stock mentioned and Its con.
troll of the property Of the consolidated

Jackson's Place.
New YORK, June 2l.-Admirers OF
Bob Fitzsimmons are as delighted over
the Choynski-F itzsimmons fight at
Boston as II Bob had knocked out his
man. They argue that Fitzsimmons Ia
now in the front rank and hat n chal.
lenge from him must meet the atten.
ton and consideration of Jim Corbett.
Such u challenge will probably be
issued formally before the end Of this
week. In fact, Arthur Il. Lumloy said
that Fitzsimmons was ready to take
Jaclfson's place in the fight In Florida.
"Of course" said Lumley, sit il i'm
possible for rse TO say now Just what
Fitzsimmons may intend to do In tho
matter of challenging Corbctt, but
know that he would be entirely willing
to take Jackson's place il Corbett in
slsts upon holding the contest at n
place where race prejudice will prevent
Jackson meeting him. Corbett fought
twenty-seven rounds with Choynski,
while Fitzsimmons had HIM practically
put in five. OF course. 1t is to be
granted that Corbett Is n better man
than he was then, but IL must DO con.
coded that Choynski Is also vastly inn.
