ALIvELY DISTURBANCE
IN THE EIGHTH WARD.
A b. & O. Detective Attempted to
Arrest Two Men ON Suspicion.
Both Resisted, Their Friends Inter-
Tered, and They Succeeded in Get
ting Away-An Investigation of At
tempts at Theft ON the Road.

AB. & @. detectives attempt to cap
ture several parties whom he suspected
were guilty of attempting to loot rail-
road ears in the Eighth ward last eve
ming, created considerable excitement
in that portion of the city and gave
rise to the circulation of sensational
rumors. One of these was to the eff
feet that a riot had occurred, resulting
in injuries to two or three people, and
the other that one man had been killed
and others wounded in serious ARRAY
in South Wheeling.
Upon Investigation it was learned
that crowd of men or boys early in
the evening, either boarded B. & 0.
freight train that stopped at Thirty
ninth street or climbed upon several
cars that were side-tracked in that
vicinity, and threw off a lot of corn
on the ears" that had been prepared
for shipment. Special Officer Metz, of
the road, who happened to be in that
vicinity of the city at the time, at once
proceeded to carefully investigate the
case and later arrested a young man
on suspicion The fellow claimed that
he was innocent of any charge that the
detective might enter against him, and
at this juncture two or, three of the
young mans friends interfered and de-
nlanded the officer to prove his author
ity for making an arrest. 1t is said
that mix-up ensued and that the de-
tectiye pluckily stood his ground
against the assaulting parties. He
struck at one fellow with his fist, and
missing him, landed on another man
who was standing near. The detective
escorted his prisoner to Jacob and
Thirty-eighth streets for the purpose
of communicating with the police, and
the crowd which had gathered on the
railroad followed and was gradually
augmented by people from all parts OF
the Eighth ward as the reports of
trouble spread, until it soon numbered
three or four hundred. The police were
summoned and Officer Meyers, who ar
rived first on the scene, stated that he
questioned the detective and that he
was reluctant to give out any informa-
ton concerning the case. Soon after
Thirty-eighth and Jacob streets was
reached the prisoner succeeded in get
ting away and then the detective took
another young man into custody for
interfering He also resisted arrest
and after breaking away from the de-
tectiye beat a hasty retreat. 1t is
learned that the police refused to as
sist in the arrest because the detective
would not inform them of the diff
culties. Two or three in the crowd
shouted for the arrest of the detective.
An effort was made to learn Officer
Metz's opinion of the case, but he
could not be found.

LEAVENWORTH, Kans., November
1S.-The escaped convicts, Cravens and
Estelle, were to-day surrounded in the
hills mile from Brighton, having es-
capped from the barn burned by the
posse. The place is rough and well
adapted to screen the eonvicts, and as
they are well armed, the posse will
probably starve them out and not try

a MASS MEETING
Resolution which Set Forth That No
Crime Can Justify Such n Fnte-An
Address by Governor c. s. Thomas.

DENVER, Col, November 1S.--At
mass meeting held here to-day, strong
protests were made against the actions
of the Limon mob that burned John
Porter, the negro rapist and murderer
at the stake. The nesting was pre-
sided over by C. NJ. Hobbs. president OF
the 7. NJ. c. A., and speeches were
made by Governor C. S. Thomas. Mayor
II. V. JoAnson. of Denver; President
Slocum, of Colorado College; Rabbi
Friedman. Rev. Coyle, Mrs. Sarah
Platte Decker, prominent in national
women's club circles, and others. They
all spoke in strong terms. condemning
what was termed the "Limon atrocity."
and also denounced the sensational dis
play Of newspaper stories concerning 1t.
The audience was stirred at times al
most TO rlotous demonstrations of APP
prevail.
Resolutions adopted admit the diffi-
Guilty of adequately characterizing the
crime for which Porter was punished.
but declare that however much the
negro by his crime merited death, no
crime can Justify recourse to such bar
barrie methods, and that while the ac7Ss
ton of the people of Lincoln county isS
attributed to excitement and passion,
it is none the less condemned and dis
countenaneed. Hope is expressed that
law viii be speedily enacted in Col
orado providing effective punishment
for such crimes and providing punish
ment for any one taking part in a
lynchingg
Governor Thomas in the course OF his
remarks said:
Il do not believe the people of this
State are worse than the people of any
other State. This is as civilized COM
munity as any State in the Union, and
in all of them we hear Of occurrences
like this when the people have been
suddenly aroused to some such terrible
act when some such awful horrible
crime as this <negros cries. to heaven
for vengeance For the agonized pa
rents and for whatever they have done
l have no words of blame or censure.
Put ourselves in their places and we
can understand their wild desire for
vengeance.
MY remarks to-day are addressed
not so much to the fact that death
has been inflicted, as to the manner In
which it has been done, l do not by
this mean to Justify lynch law. No
well regulated citizen can ever justify
a departure from the law. But every
State has these affairs and We are no
exception.
The Governor disclaimed any re-
sponsibility for the affair, saying that
he understood that Sheriff Freeman
had agreed to leave Porter In Jail for
eight days and had gone out OF town
so believing, only to return to learn
that the sheriff and his prisoner were
on the way to Limon.
This awful offense has been COM
mitted by an entire country" he con-
tinued. "All we can do is to declare
that we, as citizens OF the same State,
deplore and condemn this act OF bar
barity."

we honor in our national capacity the
statue of La Fayette erected by the
French people and convey my hope that
the presentation OF u similar memorial
OF that knightly soldier whom both re-
publlcs are proud to claim, may serve
as 4 new link of friendship between the
two countries and q new incentive to
generous rivalry in striving for. the
good Of mankind. 4
Very sincerely yours.
