THIRTY YEARS A FUGITIVE
Exiled in Strange Lands. Perry
Richardson Finally Returns.
A Disappointment in Love, Followed
by Murders and Lynchings, Which
Startled the Whole Country.

Baraboo, Wis. March 14--Perry Richard
son S being tried in the Sauk county cir
cult court for murder committed thirty
years ago. He has been a fugitive since
1867. During these three decades he wan
dered fourteen years in Australia and spent
five years among the islands of the South
Pacific. Eleven years ago he returned to
his native land, settled in Arkansas, mar
ried under an assumed name a a achieved
some local fame i n politics. He was elected
member of the legislature and sheriff OF
his county. With that fatality which is
said to pursue shedders of blood, he re-
turned recently to the scene of his alleged
crime. Hes even furnished the evidence
which caused his arrest,
The crime for which Richardson must
answer is one in series of sensational
murders and iynchings that startled the
State Richardson was friend of Pat
rick Wldrich. They had fought through
the war in the same company, WiidriCh
and s. s. Gates Were rivals in love. Gates
was the successful man, and Wildrich
then turned desperado.
Gates, in June, 1867, was attacked,
robbed of SO 500 and left for dead He
said WildFich was his assailant. After
a long chase Widrich was arrested. On
September 13, Just three days later, Gates
body was found in the roadway.
Perry Richardson and Hugh Smith, who
were friends of Wildrich, disappeared
The theory, therefore, was generally ac-
cepted that they had murdered Gates, who
was the principal witness against Wild
rich.
The friends of Gates censured and
abused Capt w. II. Spain, who had
undertaken the defense of Wildricb He
was beaten and threate tened He armed
himself, and On September Is encountered
Barney Britt, affriend of Gates. There
was an alteration, and Spain shot Britt
dead on the street. lie gave himself up
to the marshal. He was marched toward
the Jail but on the way the crowd that
followed the murderer became so furious
that he was taken into the express office.
Someone procured rope, and rush
was made for the express office, and
in a few moments the bolted doors were
battered down The sheriff and marshal
were brushed way by the crowd. Spain
was dragged from the building, and a
few minutes later was hanged dead on
the limb of a tree.
Later 400 Of Gates friends entered town,
storIned the Jail and seized Wi!drich, who
fought like d demon. He was overpowered
and dragged through the street, as his
lawyer had been dragged few hours be-

Aspersions.
P0PULISTS MET AT DENVER
The Lie Passed Times Without
Number-w. R. Frazier Assaulted
by a Howling Mob, Who Elected
Him From the HaIl-Session
Lasted Three Hours.

Denver, Col, March 1.-THE mi1dle-of-
adjourned after three hours of fighting.
Women were in the thick OF the melee, and
they were in several instances instigators
of the attack
The first assault was provoked by the
remark of a woman that she would not
sit in a convention with the hrelings of
corporations, indicating one of the dele
gates The latter replied that the accuser
was liar, and her husband flew to the
Rescue, while his wife and her women
companions stood by and cheered the
fighters.
Mrs. E. w Reed started another row by
saying that she had seen too much OF poll
tics TO blush any more, as that was per-
functory effort that did the party no good.
Mrs. Alice Faulkner took hand in the
row, and eulogzed Grand Old Man Waite
sighting remark that precipitated further
trouble
The event Of the afternoon was when
Miss Holmes replied to the attack OF the
boiler Inspector, W. K. Frazier, He said
indb ine CORPORATIONS were more poWerIui
than Populist principles.
That's a lie,'" shouted half dozen
men, and men and women were imme-
diately on their feet, making for the
speaker.
IF the shoe fits you, put it on" re-
torted Frazier, bracing himself for the
rush. He was no match for the crowd and
was driven from his position, but fought
desperately to the door.
Mr.. Akers next came in for rough
treatment. On being asked by Mrs. Reed
if it was not time for him to 20 out
and choke himself to DEATH Akers re-
torted that Mrs. Reed had not added
anything to her reputation by going out
as a street singer. Miss Holmes de-
manded why the men stood silent by
and saw the woman insulted. None re-
sponded, and then Mrs. Reed and Mrs
Holmes administered the punishment them
selves, and tore most of Mr.. Akers' beard
out of his face.

An Old Love.

Again unto my soul is borne
a subtle sense of ''some one coming
OF faint far sounds and fragrance sweet
Like howrs abloom and bees album
ming.
A lang'rous feeling holds in thrall.
With warm, bright sunshine DER me
streaming;
Through half-crossed lids l see afar
Low island palm crowned, mid blue
waves cleaning.
1 hear around me rustling wings
And bird notes high above me lifting;
In dreams and reverie | rest,
My soul through cioudland slowly drift
ing.
AS northward rolls the golden wheel,
l hear the kline in pastures lowing;
See sheltered slopes where grass shows
green,
With star-eyed daisies thinly growing.
l hear the loosed streams in their flow
Go singing DER the sandy shadows:
1 see the wild fowls wedge their flight,
Hear twitter of returning swallows.
Springs magic spell OF old | know it,
Through half q centrys tickle wooing;
Her smiles and tears, now warm now
cold,
The old-time witchery renewing.
Unchanged is she, the same coy maid.
Whose wiles with me are never cloying
Unto her spell 1 still must yield,
My boyish love in age enjoying.
