ick, the proprietor of a boarding camp
on the drainage canal near Lemont, was
attacked by two colored highwaymen in
a deserted portion of Summit, south
west of this city, last night, robbed and
stoned to death.
The crime resulted in the widest ex-
citement at Lemont and hundreds of
citizens started out to assist the police
in capturing the men. This afternoon
Henry Rocker and John Lattimer, both
negroes, We're arrested on the drainage
canal not far from Summit and lodged
in jail Rocker afterward confessed,
and when this was rumored about
mob collected, and it was with difficulty
that the authorities protected the pris-
onerS from violence.
The excited citizens threatened to force
an entrance into the Jail where the two
men were locked up and lynch them.
The streets in the vicinity of the jail
were becoming crowded with excited
men. The authorities fearing that vio-
lence would be committed separated the
two prisoners. Rocker was hurried out
through rear way and taken to the
Willow Springs Jail and in order to
quiet the mob it was given out that there
was no certainty Of the guilt of the pris-
oners. By 10 o'clock the crowd had dis
persed.
Last evening Maverick, accompanied
by his nephew, was walking along a
towpath in Summit. Rocker and Lat
timer. who, it is claimed, We're concealed
behind some shrubbery, attacked them
and began beating them with stones.
Mavericks nephew fled, but Maverick
received a blow on the head which rem
dered him SenSeleSS. AS soon as the po-
lice We're notified of the assault they
went to where Maverick was when the
attack was made and found his body
lying across the path
His head and body were severely
bruised where he had been pelted with
the stones. Officers and citizens were
sent in every direction, and Rocker and
Lattimer were captured. The nephew
of the dead man identified them, and
when Rocker was confronted with this
he gave up and made full confession.
He charged Lattimer with having killed
Maverick and admitted that they di-
Vided SoO, the proceeds of the robbery.

1t is now thought the suicides name
was Edgar Lytle, supposed to be from
Pittsburg.
Tonight an express receipt was found
which showed that E. l.. Bryan had
shipped by the Adams Express from
Pittsburg, Pa, November 18th, one tele-
scope valise to Chicago. The Adams
Express Office in this city was visited to-
night and the telescope valise belonging
to the dead man was found.

besides quantity of clothing an ex-
cellent photograph of the deceased and
a number Of visiting cards engraved

made by Pittsburg tailors and another
by Burton c. Stout, Wheeling, w. Va.
Both coats bore the name of Edgar
Lytle on a tab under the collar. While
there were no letters or papers of any
kind in the valise the marks on the
clothing and that on the photo and cards
of the dead man make it apparent that
he was Edgar Lytle not r. L. Bryan, as

CONTEMPTIBLE CONDUCT.
Folsom Wheelway Almost Ruined
by Wagons.

The Capital City Wheelmen, aided by
friends, constructed a path or wheel
way from this city to Folsom, alongside
the county wagon road, at an expense
of nearly 81 1000. The Board of Su-
pervisors very properly passed an ordi-
nance making it misdemeanor, pun
ishable by fine, for anyone to willfully
drive upon the pathway with horses,
cattle or vehicles.
To the shame and disgrace of people
who travel the Folsom highway it must
be stated that wherever it was possible
they have deliberately used the path
way for wagon road and have ruined
it for wheeling, and to do SO have fire.
auently driven on private land. This
has been done, too, in places where the
wagon road is a far better driveway
than the path, showing that the act
was prompted by the most contemplate
meanness and spite This was done
since the rains commenced and while
the ground was soft enough to be
trampled into mud and cut into ruts.
Last summer people came from other
counties to enjoy bicycle rides over the
Folsom wheelway, and its excellence
was heralded far and wide. Then the
small-souled creatures who have since
done the mischief did not dare to drive
on the path because they were liable
to encounter wheelmen who would re-
sent such outlawry by taking satisfac-
ton "out Of their hides" besides ar
resting them. But while the path was
too wet for wheeling, and the wheel
men were at home, the miscreants got
in their deadly work.
And for the very men who have done
this dirty work the wheelmen are ex-
erting themselves and putting up their
money to secure macadamiZed roads
The wheelmen would be justified in
dropping their good wagon roads work
and contenting themselves with path
ways, protected if necessary by guards
with shotguns.
