Bloody Work Done in Revenge for the
killing of a Sheriff
WALsENBEIG, Colo, March 13.-Two or
three days ago Deputy Sheriff Hixon was
brutally murdered at this place by sew
eral Italian coal miners. After pounding
the deputy's head into a pulp the body
was hidden and was not found until Mon
day morning when a general alarm was
given and b!oodhounds put upon the muir
derer's trail In a short time the we'll
trained dogs succeeded in running down
four men who acknowledged having COM
mitted the crime. An inquest was held,
at which the guilt of the four Italians
was plainly proven.
At the close of the coroner's inquest, as
the prisoners were being driven to Jail in
o wagon, 3 mob made a rush for them,
and before the sheriff and his deputies
could raise hand to protect them the
bodies Of the four Italians and the driver
were riddlcd with bullets. At this juno
or more Italians, seeing their countrymen
lying around dead, became frenzied,
swearing they would have vengeance.
Both factions began arming themselves
and at last accounts Were expected to
come together at any moment. The tele-
graph operator ar Walscnburg has aban-
doned his post, leaving no way to secure
further information, except rs it is
brought into surrounding towns by peo-
pie who are fleeing from the scene of
trouble, or deputy sheriffs seeking assist.

ceded amount to l6S. 600 acres and are ac-
counted among the best in the state, be-

IsKe sucn steps as are necessary 10 protect
foreigners and Americans alike
Ii is said that the complaint Of the Eng
! shman, Bane, injured in the riot would
first be submitted to the British consul at
New Orleans, who would communicate
with the foreign Office ut London or di-
rect to the embassy here, according to the
emergency. II the ofense was shown to
be against Balm because he was an Eng
lish,nan, ii is said, Sir Julian Pauncefote
would demand an explanation. If, how.
ever, Bain's nationality had no part in
the affray and ne was hit because he was
in the mob, then no attention would be
given TO the incident-fOr the reason given
above.
The actor, of the italian government at
the time of the New Orleans lynching is
cited rs showing the diplomatic aspect Of
the trouble. The lynchings were against
Italians, as such, and not against q mis-
cellaneous mob, including Italians. For
that reason Italy protested and then sum-
marily broke of diplomatic relations with
the United States by having Baron Fava
demand his passports. The United States
ultimately paid an indemnity to the
families of those lynched-but only as an
evidence of good feeling and generosity.
As for federal help. the United States
will not sent troops to New Orleans until
it has been fully demonstrated that the
city and state officers are no longer able to
maintain the peace and protect the inter-
state traffic This determination was
reached late yesterday afternoon, and tele-
graphed to United States Attorney Ear
hart, at New Orleans. Earlier in
the day Attorney General Olney
received telegram from Ear
hart, stating that the city was in the
hands of a mob and suggesting that Unit
ed States troops be sent forward at once.
The attorney general replied as follows:
''Do not understand why state authorities
are not called upon to preserve peace and
repress lawless violence. If that were
done national commerce would resume its
operations. Applications to state authori-
ties ought to be made and be denied or be
proved unsuccessful before the United
States interpOses." Olney, in speaking of
the situation at New Orleans, said that so
far as he has been able to learn neither
the city Eor tine state authorities had
called out the local militia or taken any
rigorous means to suppress the existing

MILWAUKEE, March 13-A special from

CURED in this place. During its progress
six persons were injurcd-one fatally.
The pecuniary loss aggregates $4,000.
The fire started at a. H., in the rear OF
the building occupied as a notion store
by Mrs. Mcintyre. 1t was n large brick
structure and was two stories high. The
flames soon got beyond the control Of the
local fire brigade and message was sent
to Oshkosh asking for assistance. The
flames spread to the east and soon envel-
oped the Butterfield building. which is
| occupied as drug store by f. b. Patton.
Next came the Robinson block which
was occupied by Deming d Wakefield,
shoe dealers. From there the fire took u
westward course and attacked a large
frame building occupied as a clothing
and dry goods store by Mrs. Sarah
Michel.
Buried Under Falling Walls.
Many other buildings in the immediate
vicinity are badly damaged, but the loss
in nearly every instance is covered by in

there was a general panic when terrific

Sing Sing, n. Y. July 1.-The Buchanan
autopsy disclosed the usual changes in the
brain and arterial system but in "A less
marked degree than I'm other cases of
death by electricity. The arteries were
nearly empty while the brain contained
free blood in considerable quantities. All
the organs of the body were in a normal
condition excepting the left lung which wa
badly affected. The brain weighed but
3lA ounces or less than thre- fourths the
average. All the doctors agreed after the
post mortem examination that the execu-
ton had been as successful as any which
has preceded it in point of painlessness.
The condition of the brain indicates the
impossibility Of consciousness after the
application of the current. Mr.. Irvine,

THE failure of the first shock to effect

the expulsion of air after the first APP

LITTLE SHORT OF A MIRACLE.
Henry harden Fell 23 Feel aud struck OH
on His HEADLINES to Tell the Tale.

Jericho, June 2S-Hcnry Barden, who
was stating a barn for Homer Rawson,
fell from the staging this morning, n dis
lance of q feet, and struck on his head.
1t would be natural to conclude that he
was instantly killed, but, through a for
tutous combination Of circumstances, not
only was that calamity averted but the
man was up and walked about later in
the day.
Bardcn was in the employ of L. j. Smit 4
of Burlington, who had the contract for
stating the large barn. He came here
yesterday and this morning he inspected
the staging which they had built and de-
cdcd that 1t was unsafe. Accordingly he
went to work and nailed up the braces,
with the exception of one which was at
the extreme end of the barn. Through an
oversight this one was neglected. He
took an armful OF slate and started out
to the end where the weak brace was
located. AS he neared the spot it occurred
to him that ii had not been nailed and he
stopped with the intention of going back.
1t was too late, however, as the brace
weakened and the staging gave way, pre-
cpitating the man headlong to the ground.
He struck in pile of clay, his head leav-
ing deep imprint in the dried earth.
Mr.. Rawson, the owner of the barn. was
within four feet of the spot at the time.
The man lay limp and apparently dead
Mr.. Rawson Strengthened him up and with
the assistance of the other men started
to carry him to a porch a short distance
away Before they reached it Bardon re-
gained consciousness and asked them to
let him walk. doctor was summoned
and telegram sent to Mr. Smith at
Burlington who came out later in the day.
The flesh was scraped off from the sCull
but there was no fracture. The skin was
also started on his breast where his chin
had hit when he struck the ground. Nine
teen stitches were taken i'm his head.
The accident occurred at about a quar-
ter past eight in the morning and at
o'clock in the afternoon he partook of
nouiishment and walked about the place.
Barden's home is in Brooklyn and he has
been in Mr. Smiths employ about year
and a half He will remain here until he
is fully recovered.
