pOpULIST ORATOR
Spoke Last Evening at the Court
House to a Small AudlenCe-has
a High Opinion of FL paso.

Col. Fl. L. Bentley of Abilene, WI O
10 u p)pulist and was the populist can
dldste for congress in this district at
the last election. spoke at the court
house last night to a small but ap-
preciative audience.
Col. Bentley is now the nominee for
state lard commissioner and the OBJ
ject OF his visit to this section was to
look after his political interests and en-
deavor 10 awaken enthusiasm In this
end of the state among the adherents
of his parry. About thi-teen people
were within sound of bis voice.
Populism has been on the wane for
some time in this neck OF the woods
and although the colouel is an orator
of no mean alb Il ty he hsd difficulty in
getting together an audience of large
dimensions.
The speaker reviewed the political
situstioD and advocated the election OF
the populist candidates. His remarks
were csived with many manifesto
tions OF enthusiasm by the slim au-
dience.
WHAT he THINKS OF Ell PASo.
A HERALD reporter met Col Bent

and among other things asked him
what he thoupht of Ell Psso. The col
onel said: 1.-TWO years have elapsed

been wonderful and the growth of the
city astonishing. Ell Paso is bound to
become great city.

the dam project If carried out
would be the best thing that could
happen to this city and vicinity. 1
have always thought this and advocat-
ed it when a candidate for congress.
Among other things which have
made a favorable impression upon me
during my sojourp in Ell Paso, 1 might
mention the county court house and
the manner In which il is cared for. 1t
is undoubtedly the best KEEP. public
bui ding l have ever seen aud Ell Psso
has reason to be proud of It,"

A BRUTAL CRIME
Mystifies New Orleans Police.

A ST. Louis Republic special from
New Orleans says: 1t TRANSFERRED to-
night that Fla, her r V. Noise, rector
& st :Francis d'Assisi Catholic G. urch,
had been the victim last Wednesday
night of one of the most sensational
burelaries and brutal assaults in the
crimi aal a n Is of this city.
the crime presents some unique
features. The burg ars, three in num-
Der, chlOroformed the priest, and lest
he should surprise them at their work
of opening the safe in the corner of
his room. spread broken glass about
his bed. He came out of the in
iuence of the chloroform while they
were working at the safe and jumped
from his bed. severing an artery in
his foot. The burglars threw them
selves upon him, beat him about til e
body, and when. between the beating
and the loss of blood he was near faint
ing, forced him, at the point of a re-
volver, to omen the safe. They rifled
it of about 5000 and then departed.
Meantime Father Noise, who had
managed to tie up his foot sufficiently
to stop the free flow of blood, had
tainted from exhaustion and pain, and
the burglars left him lying on the
floor unconscious. They wrote note,
sarcastically thanking the priest for
his hospitality and generosity.
This note was found in Father
Noises room by the cook when alarm
ed at his nopappearance at his usual
hour in the morning, she went to his
room, and finding the door open, look
ed in and saw the rector lying with his
feet in a pool of blood and his face dis
colore from the brutal beating he had
received.
Father Noise was 10th to make pub
lie the burglary and assault, but Judge
Noise, of course. had to be told of the
serious condition of his brother, and
the facts were made known to the
rolIce by the judge, despite the priests
pleading that his assailants be allowed
to go free With their illgotten booty.
There is abso lutely no clew to the
Identity of the perpetrators of the
crime beyond Father Noises statement
that two of the men were white and
the third q negro.
