a sudden dart to one fide of the road
and threw Mr.. Truitt to the ground

sistance. When he arrived at the scene
Mr.. Truitt was senseless, and for several
minutes showed no signs of life. They
Immediately began bathing his face
with cold water, and using other means
of restoration. After fifteen or twenty
minutes the young man began to revive
and show signs of life; he was badly
bruised about the head Ond face. The
horse was caught near MOrrison's store.

Rugged Kent's Post.

A large crowd gathered last Saturday
around the jail yard at Dover to see Sheriff
Reedy apply the lash to those sentenced by
the court to whipping, for the crime of lar
ceny The fact that James p. Hughes, the
man VINO stole DR.. r. Y. Watson's diamond
stud was - suffer for his crime, drew the
crowd. Where Hughes came from no one
knows, where and how he disposed of DR..
WatsOns pin is another mystery, but every
one is reasonably sure that he will not return
to Delaware after his term in prison has ex-
pired. From window in the Jail building
DR.. Watson watched the whipping.
Hughes had threatened to kill himself
rather than submit to being whipped and
had been placed in a cell by himself About
10 o'clock Warden Ward went to II ughes' cell
and said:
"Hughes, be ready; we are going to whip
Rod Lewis first. Your turn next"
"All right Mr. Ward, l will not keep you
waiting"
Roadway Lewes was then placed at the post
and dashed for breaking into Levys distil-
lery. Some of the crowd objected to the sher
if putting on the lashes so heavily, but Sher-
if Reedy told the directors to mind their
own affairs.
Hughes was the next man brought out
"James p. Hughes twenty lashes," read Dep
uty Sheriff Foraker. Then there was a stil
and the crowd pushed forward to catch &
glimpse of the man. Ropes had been placed
about the whipping-pOst to keep the space
clear, and the crowd pressed against thes,
ropes as much as it dared. Hughes-a tai
man with iirOn-gray hair and a vandyk'
beard-appeared between Warden Ward anC
Policeman Russell. dark overcOat cOvere,
his back, and he wore a black derby hat
When he caught sight of several camera
turned upon him he threw his coat over hi
face to hide it. At the post, however, he ha,
to discard the coat and hat and a fair view 0
him could be obtained by the crowd.
Hughes was quickly fastened to the pos
and pressed his face and body against it. Tn
sheriff piled the lashes as rapidly as he coul
raise his arm, and Deputy Sheriff FOrake
counted. Hughes closed his eyes and shuC
dered at every stroke. The skin on his bac
was not broken, but the blood appeared read
/ to ooze out wherever the lash struck.
Hughes was released from the post and, a
= his coat was thrown over his back again, b
remarked ironically: 81 guess twill look fC
y that $500 diamond now" Some one remarke
that he would not look for it in Delawal
e again, and Hughes was led back to his cell
William Fisher, cOlOred,was whipped wit

x Lewes, who had been whipped, was brougl
u out and placed in the pillory. This codcludC

THOSE CENSUS FRAUDS.
Maryland EnumeratOrs Indicted by
the GRIND jury.

=
the Grand Jury.
Baltimore, May THE United States
grand jury yesterday returned indict-
ments against Stephen Abel, enumer-
ator for the eastern half of the Leon
ardtown district of St. Mary's county;
Daniel J. Bowles, enumerator for the
western half of the same district;
Charles H. Guyther, enumerator for
the Valley Lee and St. Georges Island |
districts of the same county; Philip T.
Graves, enumerator for the Hillville
district, and Joseph H. Ching, law
yer at Leonardtown, a member of the
Republican state central committee.
The indictments are probably the
most voluminous ever returned to the
United States court here. They are
printed and bound in book form, and
there are nine of them. Upon analysis,
however, they resolve themselves into
simple elements. There are four in
dictments-one against each of the
enumerators separately-for making
fictitious returns. The one against
Abel contains S64 counts; against
Bowles, 1893; against Guyther, 1885,
against Graves, SO.
These counts are of themselves di-
vided into three classes, by one of
which the enumerator is charged with
having knowingly returned the names
of particular individuals as having
their place of abode in his enumera-
ton district on the first day of June,
1900, when he knew they had not; by
the second with having returned the
same person twice with an intent to
represent the population of the dis
trict to be larger than it was, and the
third with having returned persons as
= dodgers, servants, ETC., in families with
: which they had no connection.
! -Four more of the indictments are
} precise dplicates of those above men
t toned. except that in each count of the
second class of indictments Joseph H
o Ching is charged with having aideC
D and abetted the enumeratOrs in making
: a fictitious return, and with, therefore
/ having made himself a general princi
s pal in such return.
e The remaining indictment is one 70
conspiracy in which all four of tn
enumerators and Ching are charge
!. with having jointly eonspired, togethe
with other persons to the grand jur
II unknown. This indictment, while mos
voluminous of ALL has only five counts
l. The nine indictments together weig
over As pounds, the conspiracy indict
L ments alone weighing IA pounds. 1t
re estimated that the whole number {
e. words exceeds 100000. The cast
Id against these five men have been 81
