struck him repeatedly over the head
with a heavy cane until he fell uncon-
scious. Friends Of Mr.. Brooks from
the South accompanied him, and, with
drawn reviewers, prevented the othor
senators from protecting Mr.. Sumner
from the brutal assault. Afterwards,
during a debate in the lower house of
Congress, hot words passed between
Brooks and Arson Burlingame of
Massachusetts,, as a result Of which the
latter was challenged to fight a duel.
He accepted, and Canada was chosen
as the place of meeting, with rifles as
weapons. Brooks failed to appear at
the appointed time, and was branded
as a coward by newspapers and public
sentiment throughout the North. AS a
result he resigned his seat, but was
unanimously reelected and received
many testimonials from various parts
of the South.

Look Ont for Notorious Italian.
Washington, Oct. s1.-commissioner
Powderly of the immigration bureau
has sent notices to all immigration of
ficers to be on the lookout for a man
known as Jaffei; an anarchist, other
wise known as "Jaffei the Red" who
is supposed to be on his way to the
United States. If he is found on any
of the incoming steamers he will be
detained, and If precedent established
about four years ago in the case of
well-known anarchist who ATTEMPTED
to enter this country, is observed, Jaf-
fei will be returned to the country
whence he came. At that time Com
missioner Powderly held in effect that
any one who breaches anarchy as a.
natural result of his teaching will land
IN prison. and thus become a public
charge. AS the law prohibits the land
ing of a person who may be likely to
become a public charge. the officials
feel that they will have a right to de-
bar Jaffet from entering the United
States. Jaffei is said to be an Italian
under rs years and notorious for his
anarchistic doctrines. He is said to
have been in prison at Milan, Italy, and
was suspected of being implicated in
the assassinatio of King Humbert.

He managed to slip the moose from his
neck and made a break for liberty. The
mob made for the negro, bowling and
firing at him, with guns and pistols,
and he fell when about 100 yards from
the Jail house, riddled with bullets.
The moose was again placed about
the Negroes neck and he was dragged
to the court house and swung to the
