MOB RULE ON CANYON CREEK
BAD CONDITION OF AFFAIRS IN
AN IDAHO CAMP.
Only Few Details Can Be Gathered
of an Outrage Which Occurred
There Last Evening.

Wallace, Ida, Dec. 24.-Mr. Whitney,
foreman of the Helena-F'risco mill, lies
between life and death at Providence
hospital, the latest outrage of the Grim
inal element that has caused so much
trouble OF Canyon creek. AS on all
similar occasions, the truth of the mat
ter is hard to obtain, discreet silence
being generally observed, but the story,
as nearly correct as could be got today,
is that at about o'clock last night, be-
tween 10 and II masked men, heavily
armed, opened the door where Whitney
and Weimar, respectively foreman of
the concentration and assayer of the
Helena Frisco, were rooming, and
promptly ordered Weimar to turn his
face to the wall. He only caught one
glimpse of the party, and his compan-
ion cannot talk, Sc the number is not
known, no one else being known to
have seen them.
They took Whitney out and marched
him through the Gem to near Fahey's
stable, near the lower end of town.
What occurred there is not known, but
ne presumably was ordered to head for
Wallace, that being the customary
practice. The mob then commenced
firing, parties in the vicinity estimat
ing that 70 shots were fired altogether,
Whitney or the people in the neighbor-
but evidently mainly to brighten either
hood, IS only one shot struck him. 1t
passed through the right thigh, from
behind.
He was left where he fell until, later,
a man coming up the track saw him,
and reported in town that either
dead or wounded man was near the
lower end of town. Norman Ebbley
Immediately offered to go after him, his
companions vainly trying to dissuade
him. Ebbley started alone. He met
Peter Bernier who accompanied him.
They took the wounded man up town
from whence he was brought here to
the hospital, arriving shortly after mid
night.
Whitney had only been at the mine a
short time. but was not liked by the
men. Together with Superintendent
Petty, he was supposed to represent
the foreign owners in the mine, and as
too many discharges followed their ar
rival, an attempt was made to run him
out with Petty a few weeks ago. That
time, when the regulators went to his
room, they found him with seven COM
panions and five guns, when they sue
CesSfully stood off the mob.

SPANISH ELECTIONS.
If Liberals Are Defeated, Conserva-
tives Will Not Oppose Autonomy.

New York. Dec. 24-Sanor Arturo Amb-
lard, for many years a leading member of
the reformist party in Cuba and formerly
deputy to the Spanish cortes, said that it
was untrue that autonomy, before becom-
ing law, must be approved by the
cortes.
In the approaching elections in Spain, g"
he said, the liberalts will win without a
doubt. Should they be defeated. however
the conservatives will not dare oppose
autonomy. This is assured by the public
declaration of Senior Silvela. who will
be the future chief of the conservative
party. Any citizen of Cuba is eligible to
ofice-man of the most radical ideas and
even rebels

In Mainland, or the Isle of Man,
which has been rendered so famous
through the writings of Hall Game, a
few practices of ancient origin are still
observed at Christmastide, the ike OIL
which seem not to exist elsewhere.
The first reminder to Manxmen that
Christmas is approaching comes from
'the fiddlers," who commence to 'caIl
every family OF any consequence four
or five weeks before the advent OF the
festive day. A party of two or three
"fddlers" set out about o'clock every
morning-excepting Sundays. playing
all kinds of lively airs, it being the
duty of one of the party to salute the
families so honored by them in loud,
distinct voice, after this fashion,:
Good morning. Mr.. Qu9yle spnd
morning Mrs. Quayle; good morning,
Master John (the eldest SOM; good
morning all the rest of the family:
past 4 o'clock; fine, frosty morning"
And so they continue from house to
house, varying the salutation accord
ing to the members of the family and
the weather, the state of which they
never fail to mention. Boys and girls
lie awake o nights to hear the folders;
and sometimes the former steal noise
lessly out of the house and accom-
pany the musicians on their matutinal
tour.
THE COMPETITION OF THE
CHOIRS.
One of the oldest customs in the Isle
of Man is the meeting on Christmas
eve of all the choirs of each parish in
their respective parish churches for
the singing of carols and Christmas
| anthems. Formerly these were rem
dered in the Manx language; and even
yet this practice prevails in some of
the country places, although in the ma
| jority of cases English is now used.
In addition to the church choir those of
the Methodist and Primitive Methodist
chapels are usually present, these be
ing the only denominations that exist
among the genuine ManX besides the
Established Church. The meeting of
choirs is called the "Oeil Very" (pro-
nounced Eel Very, which has about it
all the elements of rivalry and ex-
element characteristic of a political
convention in the United States From
about 10 o'clock until midnight the
churches are crowded with the parish
! toner's, and during these hours the
| choirs sing their very best, not all TO-
gether, but by turns and in spirit of

When the true and larger Christmas is
made real in human affairs no man will
Cypress his brother for gain, none shall
hunger in the midst of plenty, industrial
peace shall replace the present industrial
warfare. the strong shall bear the bur
dens of the weak, and the natural gifts
of God shall be the free heritage of all his
creatures. Jesus the Christ will then be
the chief cornerstone of a new and per-
feet civilization.
The glad day is surely coming. The

retributively for those who rebel. for

Paris police down upon booksellers and
other trademesn who have carried on a
thriving trade in indecent photographs
1t appears that last year Clara Ward con-
traced with Reutlinger, the famous

the copies found in the shops and also
made strict search among the photo
graphs kept for sale. The result was sur
prising The portraits of Nine. Rigo were
pronounced not indecent, as they were
all taken in tights, but the search
brought to light a quantity of photo
graphs of q scandalous character. Con-
sequently it was decided to prosecute all

The unrulv Mob.

London Echo: A mob is usually crea-
ture of very mysterious existence, par
ticularly in large city. Where it comes
from, or whittier it goes. few men can
tell. Assembling and dispensing with
equal suddenness, it is as difficult to fol-
low to it's various sources as the sea it
self; nor does the parallel stop here. for
the ocean is not more tickle and uncer-
tain: more terrible when reused, more I'M
reasonable or more cruel.
