SAVED A PRISONER.
A Criminal Charged With Assault Game
Near Being Mobbed.

Las Vegas would have had lynch
ing bee Saturday morning but for the
prompt action and shrewdness of Dep
uty Sheriff Cleofas Romero, who
thwarted a mobbing party by slipping g
prisoner away from the city Jail where
he was incarcerated and placing him
in the county Jail without the party in
tent upon violence discovering that re
moval was in progress. About o'clock
Saturday morning 200 people assembled
at the city Jail intent upon melting out
punishment to Thomas w. Davis, a
prisoner 20 years old, who is said to
have committed an indecent attempt
upon the 7-year-od daughter Of r. j..
Mcmahon. The MacMahon family live
two miles out of the city. During the
absence of the parents of 5-year-old
boy and 7-year-old girl the accused is
said to have visited the house, sent the
boy away and then committed an as
sault The children afterward pointed
out Davis as the offender.
Such a crime deserves the severest
punishment, but the courts are equal to
enforcing a penalty, and it is we'll that
the officer referred to saved Las Vegas
from a reputation of having a violent
people. The majority of citizens GER
tainly would not have indorsed lynch
ing.

The Plague at Honolulu.

Honolulu, January 1, via San Fran
cisco, January 8.-Seven additional
cases of plague have developed since
the last advlces, making thirteen cases
all told to date. The board of health
has decided to take radical steps to
stamp out the scourge. A portion Of the
infected district was condemned and
burned to the ground yesterday. Three
buildings and a large warehouse were
destroyed. The future policy Of the
health authorities will be to destroy all
infected buildings.
The Star and Advertiser claims that
the members of the health board appear
to be incompetent and incapable OF
handling the present trouble. There Is
still doubt as to the nature Of the dis
ease. The majority of intelligent people
do not consider it the plague. But the
fact remains that the victims are
stricken and die suddenly.

Governor Roosevelt is to be made the can

there existed a well defined belief that the
Vice Presidency would be offered TO the
Governor in such a way that he would dnd
a. exceedingly difficult to refuse.
Senator Platt took care not 10 clear up
the situation by eliminating any pOssibl
candidates for the Vice Presidency. He
qualified his statement in regard to James
S. sherman. Of Utica. by saying that so
far as he knew Mr.. Sherman would not be
a candidate but that he would not say
that Mr.. sherman would not be nominated.
Mr.. Sherman declared that he never
talked for publication. but that he had said
year ago that he would be candidate for
mo elective or appOintive office except that

Mr. Burns and his lieutenants made their
appearance later. and they, too. tried to
