HELD TO KEEP THE PEACE
Rehberg Placed Under Bonds by Justice
Young
The Old Man Believed to Be the Victim of a
Conspirscy-Some Peculiarities
of the Case

Although it was legal holiday, JUS
tice Young of the township court found
time yesterday to place old George Reh-
berg under bonds to keep the peace.
The public have become familiar with
Mr. Rehberg's troubles within the past
week, and general sympathy has been
extended to him in his efforts to protect
his little home. The decision of the
court has, therefore, provoked consd-
cradle criticism, as the evil
dence adduced tended to show
that conspiracy existed to de-
prive the old man of his home, and that
his threats to shoot Charles Elton were
based only on the condition that he
would shoot if it became necessary to
protect his rights.
That there was a conspiracy to Job"
the old man, seems to have been pretty
generally admitted in the neighborhood
about NeWhall 1t has been remarked
as being rather singular that Elton
should have seized the opportunity to
tear up the water pipe which supplied
him and Rehberg with water on the
very day that Rchbcrg answered q sum
mons to appear in Justice Clayton
court at NeWhall, to serve on a jury.

infant of the fact that trouble was brew
ing for the old man. for he excused
him from jury service with the remarl:
You have business at home that you
would better be looking after, and l,
therefore, cheerfully excuse you from
service on this jury
When the old man returned to his
home in the Arastre canyon, he found
that Elton had torn up the disputed
pipe.
Elton. in his testimony, admitted hav-
ing been given ten acres of land by
Rehberg and confessed to having torn
up the pipe, but claimed that the pipe
was laid by him (Elton) at his own ex-
pense and he therefore had a right to
removeiit.
1t is also considered rather peculiar
that as soon as Elton had Rehberg
arrested for making threats, Lester Rog-
ers, deputy constable understood to
be working in Elton's interest. got in
and jumped the land claimed by Reh-
berg. tore down the old mans cabin and
erected another in its stead
Elton is a much bigger man than
Rehberg and would be able to defend
himself in a hand-to- hand encounter
with the old man, but he processes fear
of being ambushed and shot. The court
took the view that Elton was in danger
and held Rehberg in $3.50 bail to keep
the peace.
The old man was very indignant over
the decision. and evidently had the SYM
pathy of the few spectators. who seemed
to be of the opinion that Rehberg had
been uniuStly dealt with

A CRUSHER OF UNION LABOR
Maiodorous Record of the Man Who Is Man.
aging Nckinley's Cnmpaign

Malodorous Record of the Man Who Is Man.
aging rlckiniey's Campaign
A New York special to the San Fran
cisco Examiner of Monday says:
The labor record of Mark Hanna.
manager of the Mckinley forces, was
condemned by the Central Labor union
yesterday. The record was placed on
file for future reference. II was briefly
compiled in the following letter from
the secretary of Central Labor uaion of
Cleveland. Ohio to the secretary of the
New York body in response to d re-
quest:
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 20, 1896.
Dear Sir and Brother: in reply to
yours of the oath inst, in which you de-
sire to learn the attitude of NJ. II. Han
ma relating to labor unions, l VIII say
that previous to the Republican convea-
ton at st. Louis the G. l.. u. of this city
propounded a number of questions to
the Republican workingmen of this
country to ask Of M. II. Hanna. In that
manifesto it was charged that Hanna
had wrecked the Seamens' union OF the
lower lake regions; that he had smash
ed the union of his street railway en-
ployes and refused to allow them to or
ganize now; that he had assisted in de-
stroying the mineworkers' unions Of
Pennsylvania; that he had attempted 70
break up the carpenters unions of this
city by employing scabs at the new
mansion at a critical time this spring
when the eight-hour day was being put
into effect that he had a strike of la
borers in the shipyard in which he is
Interested this spring and told the COM
mittee of men, who demanded the same
scale of wages paid in the competing
yard, viz: $135 a day, that if they voted
for Mckinley they might receive high
er wages and lodged the issue.
Neither Mr.. Hanna or any of his sat"
elites have dared to meet these ques-
tions and they are unanswered today
Here in Cleveland he is so well known
as a labor crusher that not a solitary
memebr of the labor organizations or,
in fact any other citizen will attempt
to defend the mans malodorous record.
j will add that several weeks ago Mr..
Hanna attempted through a third party
to have the president of the c. l.. U. or
myself wait upon him to have q talk" >"
but his overtures were treated with
the scorn that they deserved. If Hanna
has anything to say he can come before
the c. L. L. and say it. He has been
challenged to do so. Yours fraternally,
NJ. S. HAYES,
Corresponding Secretary c. L. u.

FURTHER PROOF
Colonel HelIison Is Given nore Evidence o
Hannas Wrath

Hanna's Wrath
Evidence that Colonel Hellson Gray
Otis has been thrown overheard by
Mark Hanna because of his senseless
fight upon trade and labor organiza-
tions continues to accumulate. The Ex-
aminer prints the following dispatch:
CLEVELAND, Sept. 5.-Speaking of
the fight in California between Colonel
Otis of the Los Angeles Times and the
Typographical union, Mark Hanna yes
terday said, in answer to the demand of
the union, that Otis received no recogni-
tion by the Republican executive COM
mittee
II have not recognized Colonel Otis in
any way since the st. Louis convention
1 appointed Mr. Lindley to take care of
our interests in Southern California, be-
cause knew he represented the labor
interests Of that section. 1 refused to
make Colonel Otis conspicuous in the
support of Mr. Mckinley because of his
antagonism to labor unions"
This dispatch. or one similar to it in
every particular, was also printed in the
Call. The Examiner. editorially COM
menting on the intelligence conveyed by
the telegram. "Hanna's Fine Humor."
says:
1.-The means which Mr.. Hanna has
taken to quiet the disturbance among
the Republican brethren south of Te-
hachep1, and more particularly in Los
Angeles, do not seem to profit him
much; but after all, that is his affair. IT
is the excuse which he offers for his line
of action which interests, because it
rises to a high plane of humor-uncon-
scious, 1t Is true, but humor none the
less.
'Mr. Hanna in brief says that he has
put the management Of the campaign
in the southern part of the state in the
hands Of Hervey Lindley. because the
relations Of Harrison Gray Otis with the
labor unions are strained. Colonel Otis
does not relish the way he was turned
down, and as a natural consequence

BROOKS is HAPPY
The Colonel Rej,ces Over Mr. Bafiow's Joint
Candidacy


Colonel j. Marion Brooks returned
from the north yesterday brimfull of
enthusiasm over the result of the fusion
conference at San Francisco. He says
Mr. BarloW's election to congress is only
a question of the size of the majority
1t was Colonel Brooks who placed Mr.
Barlow, the Populist, in nomination at
the Democratic congressional conven-
ton after Senator Rose and Major Geo
S. Patton had retired from the contest
Brooks insisted that the only way to
insure the election of a free silver man
to congress was for the Democrats to
fuse with the Populists. He according
ly opposed the nomination of Major IL
w. Patton with great Vigor, and now has
the satisfaction of seeing his man the
candidate of both parties, at last not
TO mention the free silver Republicans
whose name is legion and who have also
endorsed Mr. Barlow's candidacy.
That is why Colonel Brooks rejoices
and it is dollars to doughnuts that his
smile will continue to increase from now
on until after election, when his friend
Barlow will take the seat in congress
now so inadequately filled by the Hon.
Jim McLachlan.

Ex-PREsIDENT HARRISON
He is Being Urged to Again Become a
Candidate.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 24-Close
personal friends of ex-President Har-
rison say that the almost certain tri-
umph of Mckinley in the st. Louis con-
vention has caused prominent Repub-
licans throughout tie country to flood
the ex-President with letters urging
him to reconsider his determination and
consent to be candidate for the Pres
idential nomination. Some of the writ
ers say it is his duty to save the party
from the Mckinley nomination, and the
campaign of bitterness that would sure
ly follow, owing to the fact that he is
regarded as the personification of the
extreme idea in protection.
One of the writer's declares that Nc
Kinley's nomination at st. Louis will
array the East against the West, and
the manufacturer against the producer,
and thus precipitate a campaign of Bit
terness and slander, when a conserva-
tive nomination would enhance the
bright outlook of the Republican
party.
1t is believed here that the letters will
have not the slightest effect

other scenes in the struggle for Texan
independence, and then he related the
| incidents of the massacre by General
Murriel of the fifty-three Americans
arrested on board the Virginius. He
ldescribed the long negotiations to bring
Murriel to justice, and how, after four
or five years, they had finally failed, and
in contrast with that affair he recalled
an incident in Salonica in 1876, when
the German and French Consuls were
stabbed to death in an effort to save a
Greek girl from a mob.
The Turkish Government on that oc-
casion did not, Mills said, wait for an
invitation from the French and German
Governments, but telegraphed to them
that it would punish those who had at
tackled the Consuls. The French and
German Governments however, did not
even answer the telegram, but sent their
| fleets to Salonica, landed their marines,
compelled the Turkish Government to
| bring the wretches before them, shot
to death six of the depredators, and ex-
acted 100000 for the families of each
! Consul
| That, he said, was the way to do busi-
ness. But why was it that of late years
every time an attempt was made to
maintain the honor and dignity of the
/ United States, some tremendous power
began to manifest itself in an opposite
direction?
| Stewart Pop.) of Nevada suggested
an explanation in the fact that Spain
owed 81, 200 900, 900 of bonded debt,
$500 000,000 of which was a lien on the
Cuban revenues.
1t was the duty of the United States,
Mills declared, either to protect the peo-
pie of Cuba, or to say to France, Eng
land and other European Powers: 'If
you want the island, take it, But the
United States should say to Spain: you
shall give that island elf-government,
or we will" And we are able to do it,
too. Mills added. He had received a
letter from New York to-day speaking
of him as another fool who had turned
jingo like Sherman and Lodge, and
| signed "a Disguised Democrat"
! AT the close of Mills speech Morgan
| (Dem.) of Alabama rose, and, after
some complimentary remarks on the
speech to which the Senate had just
| listened, he presented some additional
correspondence bearing on the Cuban
question, and then the joint resolu-
tion was sent to the calendar.

taken up and it's consideration pro-
ceeded with from page 81, which had
been reported yesterday. All the COM

ators. The bill did not reach a final
