APrREHENDED on SUSPICION.

Two men we're apprehended on
Tuesday at Winchester on suspicion OF
being the two men wanted for the
robbery Of Miss Waltz, near Cave
town, Md. They were strangers. and
in some respects Tailed with the des-
cription of the men wanted. They
prevailed upon the officers for chance
to redeem themselves, and were taken
to the Baltimore and Ohio depot and
were identified by Baggagemaster
Smith and Brakeman Harmer as two
B. & D brakemen, Cline and Gross,
from Brunswick. The men were
released
There is reward of $1,000 offered
for the arrest and conviction Of the
robbers and it looks as If good many
persons are after it.
1t was FIRST believed that there were
81, 500 stolen from Miss Waltz but the
authorities now believe that 81, 900
was taken and some place it as high
as $1,000.
The Hagerstown officers who were
here say our officers would not give
any information, as they wanted to
earn the reward themselves. This
sounds little crooked, as our police
say they gave the Hagerstown officers
all the assistance and information
they asked for.

SAYS He IS BOYCOTTED
Mr.. Haupt Asks the Court to Pro-

HE MAKES ALLEGATIONS
He Says the Job and Express Union,
Backed by Trades and Labor Assem-
bly,, Has Threatened to De-
stroy His Property.

Henry L. Haupt, proprietor of an ex-
press and messenger company called
THE World" has had some trouble
with a labor union known as the Job
and Express union, and he believes he
has been boycotted by that organiza-
ton, backed by the Silver Bow Trades
and Labor organization. Yesterday he
commenced an action in the district
court against The Trades assembly,
corporation; Job and Express union,
voluntary association, and the men,
bers thereof Dan Mcdonald Charles
Maynard, William n. Holden, George
Dorset, John Doe and Richard Roe"
for the purpose of enjOining them from
boycotting The World and from in
terfering with it's business. Haupt filed
an undertaking on injunction ana
Judge Lindsay granted a temporary re-
straining order. In its complaint, The
World" says it is a corporation and in
its business is compelled to use electric
wires and electric call boxes, which
are placed in various houses and places
of business in Butte, and also employs
men and teams for the purpose of car
rying express matter. 1t is alleged that
the defendants have threatened to de-
stroy the messenger boxes and wires
and have threatened to boycott the
plaintiff and to compel its employees to
cease working for the company and to
compel patrons to cease patronizing 1t.
1t is claimed they have entered into a
conspiracy to ruin the Plaintiffs bust
ness and to destroy its appliances, and
to compel merchants and other patrons
to withdraw their patronage. Unless
restrained by the court, it is claimed.
the defendants will destroy the call
boxes, wires and other property of the
plaintiff and force its servants to quit
working for the company. The defend
ants. it is alleged, are all insolvent and
unable to respond in damages, and if
their threats are carried out the plant
ifs business will be ruined and will
sustain great and irreparable damage,
wherefore the court is asked to enjoin
the defendants from in any way in
juring or interfering with the plaintiffs
property, employees, patrons and bust
ness.

bow a Brave American Got Rid
of a Murderous Korean Crowd.
HELD UP HIS RIGHT HAND
In the Name of the United States of
America He Commanded Them to
Vamoose and They Vamoosei,
Though Bent on Murder.

Colorado Springs, July 24-In referr-
ing to the recent attack upon the cleo
trio line by fanatical natives in Seoul,
Korea, f. E. Rittenhouse of this city,
who was connected with the construc-
ton of this road, said to-day: have
received several letters and many pho
tographs from Seoul lately, and the
most interesting incident to Americans
in connection with this uprising has
not been told, although the press gen.
orally is giving much space to this sing
ular outbreak. This is doubtless due
to the modesty of the two men inter-
eSted, through whom much of the news
has reached America. / refer to H.
r. Bostwick of San Francisco, mana
ger of the Seoul Electric company, and
J. Redmond Crumm Of Columbus, Ohio,
chief of the imperial engineering de-
partment, who alone and unarmed, by
their GOODNESS and good American
nerve, dispersed a bowling mob of
1900 to 1900 Orientals and saved their
own lives and the power house and
electric plant.
at the time the child was run over,
the streets were literally packed with
excited natives discussing the decis-
ion of the astrologers and 'Mutanss,'
that the electric railway and power
house were the real causes of the
drought and the suffering among the
poor. With the death of the child,
the noisy excitement gave way to wild,
unrestrained fury, and the bowling
mass Of Whitehead humanity fell upon
the cars, destroyed and burned some
of them and drove off the japanese
employees with broken heads. A large
section of the mob, estimated by Mr..
Bostwck at between 5000 and 1000,
appeared before the power house, fill
ing the street and swarming like sheep
over the city wall and the great east
gate, which adjoins the power house.
1t was at this point that the two
Americans appeared on the scene. I
have read in a New York paper that
the two Americans had to run for
their lives. l am sure no such idea en-
tered their heads. To run would be
to invite pursuit and their remains
would have soon been dragged through
the streets. At any rate, they did not
run, but started across the open to-
ward the mob. The effect was instan-
| taneOus. The sight of those two calm,
| fearless white men walking briskly
| into the very jaws of death, utterly
| ignoring the rage and wrath of thou
| sands, paralyzed them with astonish-
ment and awed them into silence.
Suddenly BOstwiCk held up his hand
| and commanded them to 'chorigah'
| (disperse) by order Of the United States
| of America. He had hoped to i'm
| press them with a show of authority
| and parley until their ardor cooled
| down a little. but he was hardly pre-
| pared for the stampede that followed
| the uplifting of his hand. Clubs and
! stones that were intended for these
two brave Americans were dropped and
| the rioters simply climbed over each
| other to get away"

Aug. 7, there is greater activity in the
preparations for that event. Tele-

have been ordered to return to their
posts by Aug. 4. The gendarmes have
been given a new Countersign and the
minister of war has issued instructions
with regard to possible demonstrations.
Barriers will soon be erected in the
vicinity of the building in which the
court martial will hold its sittings,

HE SAW HER DO IT.
A 15-Year-o.d Boy Saw Mrs. George
shoot Sayton.


Chicago, July 24.-Evidence which
might have had an important effect
on the trial of Mrs. Anna George at
Canton, Ohio. for the murder of George
D. SaXton, brother-in-law of President
Mckinley. last October, came to light
to-day in the juvenile court. Russell
Hogan, Is years old. who was brought
before the court as Richard Mcknight,
declared that he witnessed the shooting
and had left home that night through
fear of being called as a witness at the
trial.
Il was standing right across Lincoln
avenue and saw Mr.. SaNton on the
porch and saw Mrs. George shoot him.
/ thought they might do something TO
me if l told what l saw, so l have
left home and have travelled all over
the country since then" said the boy.
When assured by Judge Tuthill that
nothing would happen to him if he
told the truth, young Hogan said his
father was r. NJ. Hogan, superintend-
ent of the Altman Manufacturing COM
pany and we'll known in Canton. Judge
Tuthill directed that the case be con-
tinued till July 26, and instructed Pro-
baton officer Kelsey to communicate
with Mr.. Hogan at Canton regarding
the boy, who claims to be his son.
The boy is bright looking and told his
story in an unassuming manner. He was
brought before the court on a charge OF
disorderly conduct.
