New YORK, June S.-The Journal this

First-Dr. Ruiz arrested a false

Second-He was placed under improper

portunity to prove his innocence.
Third-He was kept ''incommunicado'' in
solitary cell for 351 hours in violation of his
treaty rights, which limit such confinement to

Fourth-He died from congestion of the
brain, produced by a blow the top of the

F'ifth-There are two theories connected

ROUTED BRUIN WITH BRANDY.
Novel Expedient Adopted by n Hard
Pressed Hunter.


Pressed Hunter.
a tourist who has been travelling in
the western country for several months
tells of an exciting experience with a
bear during his trip.
He had scrambled to the top of large
bowlder and the bear, wounded in one
of its legs, began scratching in the
ground at the foot of the bowlder.
''Suddenly,'' he says, 81 felt the bowl
der on which 1 stood shake and give a
sudden downward lurch. 1t then
dawned upon me that the bear was I'M
derlnining my stronghold, and within
few minutes it would topple over and
/ be deliv cred to his tender mercy. In
this emergency 1 bethought myself of
bottle of brandy which 1 carried in
my pocket Thinking that by pouring
its contents over the ground the bear
would desist from his undermining
operations, 1 emptied half of it, but he
seemed to be all the more refreshed by
the smell and worked away more Wig
orously than ever.
There was but half of the brandy
left and things were beginning to look
serious. when I tried. as a last chance,
the extreme remedy of emptying the
remainder of the flask onto the back of
the bear and throwing a lighted match
to the brandy. The flames immediate
ly enveloped the animal, and, with
shrieks and yells of pain, he skedad-
died, to my great relief.
Il was presently rejoined by my
companions, and with loaded gun we
followed up the bear, whom we soon
discovered licking his burnt sides. on
which very little fur remained. He was
so weak after his adventure at the
bowlder that we had no difficulty in dis
patching him. Chicago Chronicle

AN INAUGURATION MYTH.
The ExtravaEant Story Told About
Thomas Jefferson.

=
Thomas Jefferson.
No Inauguration myth has been more
tenacious of life than that which
pictures jefferson, attired as a plain
citizen riding on horseback to the cap
itol, hitching his horse to the palings
and walking unattended into the senate
chamber to take the oath as president.
To have done this would have been
in accordance with his previous utter
ances, for he had strongly condemned
as savoring of monarchy any public cere-
mony at the swearing in of president.
When the time for his own Inauguration
arrived, however, the case seems to have
looked different to MIN. Whether it was
because he was to be the first president
inaugurated at the new capitol, or be-
cause of an unwillingness to disappoint
the large number of his friends and
partisans who had assembled to honor
him, is not clear; but the fact is that
he did permit a considerable display
at the ceremonies. He was met at the
door of his boarding house, which was
only stones throw from the capitol,
by militia artillery company and a
procession of citizens, and, escorted by
these, he went on foot to the capitol.
The horseback story, or fake as it
would be dominated in modern journal
ism, was the invention of an English
man named John Davis, who put it in
a book of American travels. In order
to give it the air of truthfulness, Davis
declared that he was present at the in
auguration, which was not true. A We
racious account of the ceremonies was
sent to England by Edward Thornton,
who was then in Charge of the British
legation at Washington; and in this
Jefferson was described as having
walked to the capitol. These facts. to-
gether with great mass of interesting
matter about Jefferson's Inauguration,
are set forth in detail by Henry Adams,
in his History of the United States"
and leave no doubt that the Davis YER
sion was a pure ia brication.-Joseph B.

Plan to Ship Cargoes of Wheat to India Has
Been Modified
WASHINGTON, June S.-LewiS K1opSch,
publisher of the Christian Herald, of
New York, which had undertaken to
procure cargoes of grain to be sent to
the famine sufferers in India, has no
titled the navy department that the
grain on hand will be sold and the
money forwarded to India instead. as
the best and speediest means of relief.
Mr.. Klopsch writes that the delay in
securing a ship was one of the rea-
sons for the change in plan. Then, too,
the Indian roads at this time, the wet
season, are very difficult of passage,
while the natives, having been made
to believe by unscrupulous native grain
dealers that the Americans have poi
soned the wheat that was to be sent to
them, refuse to eat any of it under any
circumstances.

MOB FIRED UPON.
Ohio Militiannen Send Volley After Vol
ley into an Angry Crowd.
Frenzied a Sentence Given a Negro Rap
list the Mob Assaults the Jail and Is
Driven Back with Two Killed
and Many Wounded.

URBANA, o., June 1.-Two citizens
have been killed and seven wounded,
some fatally, in an attempt to lynch
"Clicl1" Mitchell, the negro convicted
yesterday of criminal assault on Mrs.
Eliza Gaumer and sentenced to 20
years in state prison. For two hours
the militia fought off an angry mob,
which insists that Mitchelfs sentence
is ridiculously light in view of his
crime. Finally the mob grew so
strong and SO bold that the troops
were ordered to fire. The sheriff wired
Gov. Bushnell for assistance.
After Mitchell had been sentenced
by the court and the sheriff ordered to
take him to Columbus, there was
trouble. 1t was thought the officers
might get Mitchell through the crowd
disguised as soldier, but his color
prevented this plan and a carriage was
driven up to the Jail. Then the mob
broke in and demanded the prisoner.
The Jail was strongly guarded by
the militia, and the sheriff felt secure
SO long as he did not venture
out. The governor refused to
send more troops to Urbana last
night, and the sheriff prepared to
stand siege Troops were stationed
about the Jail and none save officers
were allowed to pass. The men were
ordered to load with ball cartridge aud
the mob was warned that no license
would be tolerated. Capt. George w.
Leonard, in command of the militia,
addressed the crowd and gave them
three minutes to disperse. Fully half
an hour had elapsed from the time the
order was given, when the roaring of
the musketry was heard
Vol1ey after volley was fired, until
as MANY as 20 shots had been fred into
the crowd. There was general panic
for awhile, and the dead and wounded
were carried in every direction in
search of doctors offices. The streets
We're crowded and the most intense
excitement prevailed. Now that the
people have seen their neigh bors shot
down the feeling is getting intense.
The people are wonderfully worked
up and there may be more trouble.
