The news spread like wild-fire, and
a mob numbering Il hundred men. with
ropes for lynching the Chinan;an. col

authorities. fearing such action. had
secured Il team. As the mob entered
the front door the prisoner went out

an assistant who started for Helena,
twenty five miles away. The mob was
furious at being deci"ed, but did not
follow, not knowing WHICH route was
taken. The rig the sheriff was using
broke down a few miles from Marys-
vale. and his assistant, going back for
a new one could not return to the
sheriff that day. as the mob leaders
watched him. Tonight he returned un-
der cover of darkness, and the men
are now en- route to Helena.
During the day the sheriff and his
prisoner We're compelled to hide in the
underbrush to keep from being discov-
cred by a party of lynChers that start

turned for another wagon.
Investigation revealed the fact that
the Chinaman had been in the habit of
entcing little girls into his cabin by
giving them first candy, then small
sums of money. In this manner he had
accomplished the ruin of about a dozen

lie GOT A BAD KNOCK.
Drunken Man Found Wounded and Sem 1
Conscious at Midnight.

Two street car men on their way
home at midnight discovered man
lying on the ground about twenty feet
north of the farther end of Roaring
Brook bridge. semi-Conscious and Gov
cred with blood. Patroman Gescheidle
was summoned and the man was con-
vCyed to the South Sid" station house
and later to the I,ackawanna hospital.
He had an ugly cash on the right side
of his forehead which was probably in
flcted by falling against a sharp point
ed rock.
He gave his name as Charles Mark
quit. of 15lS Crown avenue. but could
not tell how he came by his wound.
He was very drunk even after reaching
the hospital and made no end of trouble
for the doctor and attendants by his
contrarinnss. The hospital authori-
ties expressed the opinion that the
wound WAS rather severe one To re-
suit from a fan and that n had more
the appearance of having been inflicted
by a weapon. There were, however,
no evidences of robbery.

MIR. PENCE'S SCHEME.
tic Demonstrates How the Silver In.
flucncc Can Bc Made Powerful in tho
Coming Presidential Election.


New Rochelle. n. Y, Feb. 2O.-Ex-
Congressman Pence. of Colorado. spoke
here this evening at the town hall be-
fore a large assemblage on The Great
West, It's People, Resources and Fu-
ture."
After speaking to his subject for some
time, MIR. Pence touched upon the sill
Yer question and gave his opinion as to
how it would affect the presidential
election.
"There Is a strong probability" said
he. that the substantial and decisive
power of the west in political matters
will be called to the attention of the
country and the world in an effective
manner this year. II the Republican
party dominates "a gold standard candi-
date upon gold standard platform. as
seems probable, and the Democratic
party nominate an cQuiVoral candidate
upon an equivocal platform. as seems
probable. the free coinage question will
be presented as the paramount issue
by the union of the free coinage forces
Of all parties and Il campaign will fol-
low that will fire the woods" in the
west and south. The chances of it's
success will res. in the possibility of
keeping the Republican candidate from
receiving Il majority i'll the electoral
college. That accomplished the cleo
lion of president will fall to the pres
ent house of representatives, on roll
call of the states, each state casting one
vote.
ON such roll call the congressman
from ten western states can make the
president and tn" free coinage candi-
date may win. The center of popula-
tiui in our country is now west of
Ohio. The center of political power in
1886 may be found west of the Mis-
SiSSppi"
