JOHN BURNS. NJ. p.

BOSTON, Jan. "A reception in honor
of John Burns. NJ. r., was held in
Fanueil hall tonight. followed by mass
meeting at which Mr.. Burns, Frank F.
Foster, Miss Frances E. Willard and
Lady Henry Somerset were among the
speakers. Every available inch OF room
in the hall was occupied half an hour
before the meeting and hundreds were
turn ed away.
Mr.. Blu ms began by referring to the
pleasure at being able to appear in the
ancient and historic city Of Boston. He
then said the cause of the trades unions
is as great as that OF the abolitionists OF
former years. "Ours is not a battle oil
race, color or creed" be said, "but We
are asking, are demanding better con-
dillon OF things, not for the 10000, 600
in America. but for every man and
woman in the entire world.
THE trades unions were created the
day after the factory system was born.
Putting labor leaders into prison will not
stop strikes, it may lesson their free
quency, but they will be more severe.
Speculation and monopoly is going on
more in America than anywhere else,
and can see premonitory symptoms
which, if not guided into the proper
channels by the trades unions will de-
velop storm in this land before which
the French revolution is but q night

At the close OF the meeting resolu-
tons were adopted expressing sympathy
with E. V. Debs and his co.laborers in
their present trouble, and pledging sup
port to enable them to take their case ia

Outlaws, Run Down and Shot
After a Fight,

GUTHRIE, o. T., Jan. 1.-Two star
dssperadoes who have infested Okla
homs territory for long time, have at
last been run to the ground and nsade to
bite tho dust. They fought their pur-
suers and seriously wounded two of
them. The outlaws are Bob Moore and
George East, both of whom are sus.
pected of having been implicated in the
Canadian, Texas, express robbery. and
the killing of Sheriff MCGEE.
News of the affair was received at
United States Marshal Nix's Office here
today. Deputy Marshal Bill Williams
and strong detachment of deputies
had been chasing the outlaws for several
days. They had traced them from place
to place but had not got within fighting
distance. Although the sides were un-
equal. half dozen or more deputies to
two outlaws, the latter were well armed
and their natural deapersteness,
strengthened by the box in which the
deputies had put them, had made them
not easy to take.
They we're rounded up in a desolate
valley in the southwestern part of
Washington county about noon, and
when commanded to surrender took
stand and began using their
Wholesalers. Their aim was good, for
in the first vollsy one oithe
posse fell. seriously wounded by a
bali in the side. The next instant, how
ever. both outlaws were stretched on
the ground dead with bullets from the
dsputies' guns in their hearts. The
outlaws were vsritable walking arsenals
and had they not been killed so soon
would doubtless have laid some OF the
deputies to rest.
They are both old offenders. with en-.
viable regulations among their class,
and their radiance is joyous news to the

there are just three things to do to set

First-Let the government fund it's
floating debt and refund its bonded debt
in per cent 50syesr bonds and retire
from the currency business altogether.
Second-Allow the national banks to
use these bonds at par as basis for
their circulation. exempting them from
all federal taxation, except iust enough
to pay for printing the notes.
Third-Repeal the sub.treasury act
and let the revenues of the nation be
deposited in the national banks where
collected. Congress- may discuss these
questions for the next six years. but will
finally adopt the above propositions, be-
cause they are the only ones that will

FORESTRY PROTECTION.

The Pending Bill VIII Meet with stron &
Opposition.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Considerable
interes. has been manifested in the
west over the prospect of the passage OF
the bill for the protection of forest res
ervstions, and it has become evident
since the bill passed the house that it
ton in the senate. The bill. when it
first went to the senate was referred to
the committee on public lands, but the
reference was changed later and it then
went to the committee on forest reser-
vations, of which Senator Allen Of Ne
braska ischairman.
The necessity OF proper care OF the
forests for tho preservation OF timber
and the conservation OF the water sup
PLY in all arid mountain states and ter
ritories is generally admitted even by
those who oppose the pending bill, bat
they contend that the selections of land
for such reservations as have been
made were made hastily and without
adequate understanding of the condi-
tons provided. They assert that msny
of the reservations are far more exten~
sive than they need to be, and that they
operate to prevent the settlement Of
large areas OF country which might
otherwise become productive.
1t is asserted by them that timber
only holds the snow in the mountainous
regions, and that many OF the reservs-
tons, especially in Colorado, Califor-
mia and Wyoming. extend to regions
were the snow does not lie at all.
There lie also objection TO the
principle of using the national
army IS guard for the reserva.
tons. It is probable the objection to
placing the privilege of cutting timber
within the discretion of the secretary OF
the interior, which was made in the
house, will also be revived in the senate.

also two children and two grown people
overcome by the smoke, all of whom re-

At l O'Clock this afternoon Mrs.

the place was on fire, and an alarm was

dense that when he got TO the second
floor the fireman fell, overcome, into
the arms of Fireman Russell. The
latter, with the aid of Engineer Tur-
man, carried him to the street.

Chicago, Jan. "A special from

that Barrett Scott has been murdered
and his body thrown into the Niobrara
river. Sheriff Hamilton and men
tracked the wagon in which Scott and
Schmidt were taken to within lew
miles OF the river, when all trace was
lost. The quicksands in that section OF
the river would quickly swallow any
body thrown in.
THE AVENGERS.
Residents of the county in which the
crime was committed. say for the last
three or four days a large number OF
men have been riding through that por>
tion of the country, all being heavily
armed. Members of the posse returned
to the city this evening with Nose Elliott
as prisoner, He was turned over to
the deputy sheriff OF this county and is
confined in the county Jail. He was ar
rested at his home, about 20 miles north
of this city. The warrant was sworn
out by Schmidt, who charged Elliott
with being one of the mob who attacked
them, shooting. Miss MoWharter and
probably murdered Scott and spirited
his body away.
THE MAN UNDER ARREST.
Elliott is q farmer living in Scott
township, which was named after the
missing man, and hiss been an avowed en-.
envy of Scott for the lsst two years, a fact
which the prisoner admits. When ar
rested he aGid he was expecting it, and
while he was always able to prove or
explain his whereabouts every day. he
could prove where he was the day and
at the hour when the attack was made
on Scott. He denied being implicated
in the CAGE and any knowledge OF it.
Schmit inaists that Elliott is one OF the
men who shot at them.
Sheriff Hamilton and dozen men are
still in the country, and it is rumored
that four or five persons will be arrested
tomorrow. They have four men who
were in the mob spotted.

He aroused Sheriff Darrah. but the

no reason to think they were the ones
wanted. Arriving at the depot McCune

we're the ones wanted. Scott and Nc

Sheriff Darrah followed them back on
the walk. Scott and McOune halted
the men and what next occurred is still
q mystery.
One of the robters seized MoCune
suddenly and disarmed him. Scott was
ordered to throw down his gun. Scott
could not FIRE without hitting McCune
and obeyed orders. The second robber
then picked up Scott's shotgun and
halted Sheriff Darrah. who came up at
that time. Scott and MoCune being dis
armed were powerless to do anything.
With one robbsr pointing his gun
and the other with his revol-
YER in his face they searched
Darrah, but so hastily that they failed
to find his pistol. The three officers
were told to move on and be quick about
it. The robbers leisurely walked back
toward the railroad and were not heard
from afterwards.
