CROWDS RAID A JOINT.
DespoiI it of Liquors and Try to Burn
the Fixtures.

Shelbyville, Ind, Dec. 16.-Albert Sny-
der. who has been running a quart
shop at Fountaintown, near here, filed
affdavits today against Marshall Kill
bourn, George Rafferty,, TiIlman and
Robert Carr, William Shank, Edward
Harvey and Horace Fault, charging them
with riot, malicious trespass, larceny, at
tempted arson and assault and battery.
Last night a crowd of eight men went
to the place and drove out Harry Miller.
the bartender, after having divested him
of all his clothing. Miller was rescued
from a fodder shock by John Snyder and
taken to his home and thawed out, he be-
ing badly chilled by the exposure.
Disposing of Miller, the crowd broke all
the mirrors, decanters and glassware with
bullets and clubs. Then they turned the
bar, chairs and other furniture into the
street and preparations were being made
to burn the pile when John Snyder, a
brother of Albert, put in appearance
and with a revolver prevented its destruc-
ton.
The men who had carried the whisky,
beer and other liquors from the place
loaded the stuff into wagon, hauled it
away and dumped it into river.

MANY ELK LEFT.
Notwithstanding That 10000 Died at
Jackson's Hole Last Year.

Denver, Dec. 16.-Gustav Schmitger
of Laramie, WyO., the state game war
den, was a visitor in the city last
week. and called upon State Fish and
Game Commissioner Swan relative to
some game violations on the state line.
Last year we had some Indian depre~
dations," he said, but this year not a
single case has yet been reported to me
This is no doubt due to the fact that
we dealt severely with the Indians last
year, and they were afraid to violate
the laws this year. The Jackson Hole
country, situated Immediately south
of the Yellowstone National park, is
one of our greatest hunting precincts
in the state. There are more elk in the
Hole today than ever before, in spite
of the fact that TO- 600 of them died last
year of starvation, owing to the ex-
ceedingly heavy fall of snow in the
northern part Of the state"

ring to make his living as best he could.
1t was no fault of Won Sydow's family
that he died in poverty and might have
been buried at the public charge. He
had sturdily independent spirit, which
repealed all offers of assistance.
Richard Won Sydow was born in Dan
zig, Germany, in 1885. His father was
colonel of the Fourth Grenadiers. and
the boy was educated in the cadet school
at Berlin. Leaving school he was as
signed to the Fifth Hussars, better
known as the Bluecher regime Mt and for
several years was stationed at Stolp, in
Pommerania. He resigned his commits
sion in 1862 and came to the United
States. The war of the rebellion was in
progress, and Ven Sydow plunged into
it, He Joined the Twelfth Illinois in
fantry, serving with that body until the
close of the war, when he enlisted at
New Orleans with the artillery branch
Of the regular army He served seven
years and was mustered out sergeant.
Won Sydow then returned to Germany,
but, not finding his surroundings there
congenial, came back to America and
sought fortune in California. He lost
all his money speculating in mining
stocks and then came to Chicago.
Won SyGow's two brothers, retired
army officers live in Stolp. His mother,
whose maiden name was Puttkammer,
was a sister to Princess Bismarck Won
Sydow himself attended the wedding of
his aunt
Ten years ago Admiral Won Blanc of
the German navy, and a cousin of Won

This statement has filled the bicycle
dealers with alarm, as now family can
purchase an auto-car and utilize 1t for

by one person or half dozen, as may be
desired. 1t is not difficult to keep In re-

MARRIED BY A PROTESTANT
The End Of ST. Louis Young Woman's Battle
With the Rona1 Church

with the woman Cnurcn
Miss Fannie ]. Homes and Max r.
Orthwein were married Wednesday at
the home of the brides parents in St.
Louis. and for a time, at least, a quietus
has been put on the spirited battle with
Archbishop Kain regarding the right
of Roman Catholic communicate to be
married in the way that best suits her.
The officiating minister was DR.. John
Snyder of the Unitarian church. noted
pulpit orator. His services were only
requested when 1t seemed hopeless to
obtain the consent of the archbishop
to permit Father Shea to perform the
ceremony. Col. and Mrs. William f.
Homes reside at 3635 Shaw avenue. and.
with the Orthweins, move in the highest
social circles. Mr. Homes and her
daughter are devout Catholics, but Mr..
Homes is not, nor are the Orthweirs.
Just as the plans for the wedding were
completed, Archbishop Kain made his
now famous edict that any Catholic who
married Protestant outside the parish
church, together with such Catholics as
attended, should be forthwith excom-
mungcated. The edict was announced
when Miss Josephine Rowley went to
the archbishop and asked permission to
be married TO Dr. w l.. Whipple. Q
Protestant, at her home. The arch
bishop stood against all the supplica-
tions of the bride-to-be and her infiuen-
tial friends. She defied the archbishop
ard was communicated.
Miss Homes made an appeal to the
archbishop and brought all the infiu-
ence she could muster to her aid, but
without result Col. Homes resented the
archbishop's course and his family fell
into his way of thinking. 1t was deter
mined to have home wedding and that
10 priest should perform the cere-
mony.
Mrs. Orthwein has a younger sister
just in her teens, Mis.y Elizabeth Homes,
who could rot bear the idea of her sis
ter's benig married by non-believer.
and, all unawares to the other members
of the family, she determined to make
an appeal to the highest authority aside
from the pope and she wrote letter to
Mgr. Martinelli, the apostolic delegate
The letter had the desired effect. few
days later Archbishop Kain conveyed
to Col. Homes the information that he
had finally consented to permit Father
Shea to perform the ceremony. But the
pressure upon the archbishop and that
dignitary's final surrender came too late.
The members of the Homes family were
not in a forgiving mood. And so DR..
