to run. pursued by the young men, who
kept the retreaters on the move by
means of a shower of stones Of all
sizes.
Near the No. school building the
pursued ones made a standard the battle
of words was resumed. Finally the
possessor of a razor, in answer to a
taunt, ran towards the crowd which
was lined up short distance away. He
had the open weapon in his hand and
evidently meant to do n little carving.
A shower of stones repelled his advance
and again himself and companions re-
treated at the top of their speed across
the open field and onto the plane west
of Johnson's lake.
Here the member of the party who
carried the revolver stumbled and fell.
He was more intoxicated than his two
companions and before he could arise
to his feet crowd of over three hundred
persons bore down upon him. He was
searched and the revolver found and
thereupon he became the target
for kicks and blows of all
kinds. Fearing that he would be
killed some of the cooler heads
in the party forced their way to where
the prostrate Italian lay and saved him
from further punishment. In the mean
time his companions had made good
their escape.
The head and chest of the wounded
man were a mass of cuts and bruises
and 1t will be weeks before he will be
fully recovered.

THEY IDENTIFIED
THE THREE FIENDS
Scranton Trainmen Complete the Chain
OF EvidedCe Against Them.
MRS. TOWNSEND THEIR VICTIM
They Entered Her Home at COnklin
Center and Bound and Beat Her
and Pulled Out Her Toe Nails One
by One..Left Her Suffering the Most
Intense AgOny..FOund by Neigh.

The last link in the chain of evidence
necessary to convince the Binghamton
authorities that they have the perpet-
rators of the fiendish outrage at Conklin
was supplied on Saturday by four Scran-
ton railroadmen.
One week ago Saturday night three
tramps broke into the house of Mrs.
Martha Townsend. a widow aged 81
years, who lived alone in an isolated
house near Conklin Center. and in order
to compel her to make known the hiding
place of her supposed wealth they
bound and beat her and finally pulled
out her toe nails one by one. They
then threw a mattress over her. piled a
couch and some chairs on top of that
and left her suffering the intensest ago
ny until the next morning, when she was
discovered and released by neighbors.
WE'RE SEEN AT CONKLIN.
Three tramps We're seen about Conklin
the day before and suspicion at once fell
upon them. A description of them was
sent to Binghamton and kilograms
conveying the description were for
warded in all directions. Tramps We're
arrested by the wholesale during the
week but it remained for the Elmira
police to capture the right ones. Three
pronounced specimens of the tribe an
swering well the description of the two
wanted were sent on to Binghamton
and after weeks work the detectives
have wound chain of circumstantial
evidence about them that will be hard
for them to unravel.
They were easily traced from Bing-
hamton to Elmira and readily Identified
by the several railroadmen on the train
which they took out of Binghamton.
That they came into Binghamton on
Conductor Cases train was also learned
about the yards and when Conductor
Cases crew next came up from Scran-
ton, 1t was discovered as was conjec-
tured that three tramps had boarded
their train at Homes switch near Conk-
lin about 10 o'clock Saturday night
1t was running at the time and they
sought the shelter and heat of the en-
gine. which fact led to their complete
identification.
HEARING ON SATURDAY.
Saturday morning the hearing took
place. After the accused trio had been
recognized by residents of Conklin and
railroaders at Binghamton and Elmira
the Scranton crew were brought to the
scene and at once identified them as the
men who had boarded their train at
Homes switch on the night of the out
rage. Engineer Mike O'Donnell ana
Brakeman Ed. Doud and Frank Smoke
could only identify them as to their
general appearance, but Fireman Ed.
Franz, with whom they talked a good
part of the distance, positively recog-
nized each one of them.
The evidence against them Is so COM
plete that it is expected they will make
confession.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, CAL, July IA
lively report has just reached here from
the Cholame country, sixty miles north
west of this city, which is to the effect that
Durham, the multi-murderer of Camp
bells, has been seen in that section within
the past twenty-four hours; that man
was seen with growth of whiskers on his
face about an inch in thickness, whose
figure and bearing resemble those OF Dun
ham, and especially the features, as we'll
as could be made out from such thick
beard on his face. The man had on gray
pants, which were badly shredded and
showed hard usage, and rode a bicycle
which seemed to be the worse for wear.
There are good grounds for the belief
that this man is Durham, as he was sup
posed TO have been seen at Bradley only
three days ago, and was then heading for
the Cholame section. Officers have been
questioned here in regard to the matter,
but do not say much as yet. There is
every indication that the suspect will be
searched for at once, as Sheriff Ballou of
this county will not neglect the slightest
clew, even at this late day. 1t is safe to
say that if the man is Durham his cap
ture will be effected, as the men who will
be sent to hunt him mp know this section
OF country better than he does.

as all the Republicans in this vicinity are
taking unusual interest in the coming
campaign. Committees were appointed

registered are registered before August s.
Numerous speeches were made highly
