Gated in the attempted hold-up of the

who tagged the train, and says there
were four in the job, including Gay
Harshman, the robber wounded by
Messenger Korner at the time of the
attempt.
James James, another member of
the gang, is believed to be in this vi
cinity, and the Pinkertons are on his
track. Allen Miner, also member of
the gang, who accompanied Hoehn to
Skagit county after the attempted rob-
berry, and whose home is at Whatcom,
this state, where his parents are respect
ed, is also said to be in western Wash
ington.
Morgan, the aged member of the
gang, has not been located. Hersh-
man has made confession to Captain
Nevins, giving all the names of the
gang, which is corroborated by Hoehn,
that he eliminates Morgan,
who is his uncle.
Hoehn has lived at Equality colony
for 10 years. His parents are dead,
and his only criminal record heretofore
known is that he was charged with
petty larceny. He was working in a
shingle mill when arrested by Captain
Nevins. For week a Pinkerton man

STILL EvADE POSSE.
Utah Escapes Go On Their wav lin.
molested

Salt Lake, Oct. 13.-At s O'Clock IN.
night James Lynch and Nick Hawortb
the two men under death sentences for
murder, who succeeded in effect;no
their escape from the state prison here
were still at large. Posses with blood
hounds have secured the hills north
and east of this city without finding
any definite trace of the two men. and
tonight the prospect of their capture is
not SO bright. Both of the escaped
convlcts are well armed, and, as thew
are thoroughly desperate, it is believed
neither will be taken alive.
Dayton, the convict killed by one of
the guards, was buried today in the
prison burial ground. When his cloth
ing was searched, a slungshot weighing
about pound and half was found.
A similar weapon was found in Abe
Majors cell.
Guards Wilcken and Jacobs, who
were wounded during the fight. are now
In the hospital. Jacobs was badly in
jured about the head, having four scalp
wounds and cut on the chin, Wick
en-, who was shot while fighting Majors
on the prison wall, has bullet wound
in the right leg near the hip, which
may necessitate amputation of the
limb The wounded convicts are all
doing well, and will recover.
The prison officials are unable to ex-
plain how the revolvers were smuggled
into the prison, but say the weapons
were undoubtedly taken in by some of
the many callers at the penitehtiary
during the last week.
Governor Wells has offered a reward
OF $500 each for the recapture OF Ha-
worth and Lynch, and the prison au-
thorities have offered an additional
500, making total of 5000 for either
man.

SACKED BY MOB.
Striking French Weavers Wreck Homes
of Enemies.

Armentiers, North France, Oct. 15.
This town was today given up to riot,
pillage and incendiarism, as a conse-
quence of the weavers' strike. Nothing
this morning foretold the serious dis
turbances about to occur, but at noon
the strikers, not receiving answers to
their demands from the employers,
broke out into the Widest excesses. A
mob of 5000 gathered in the great
square and urged the troops stationed
there to throw down their arms, shout
ing: "Down with patriotism"
The rioters then spread through the
principal streets, breaking the windows
of the stores, dragging out the huge
display rolls of linen, which they
stretched across the streets with the
object of impeding the advance of the
cavalry. They wrecked shops, sacked
the houses of persons obnoxious to the
ringleaders, and attacked the banks, in
two of which they succeeded in stealing
a few hundred dollars from the tills.
One gang set fire to large quantity
of linen in the cellars of Messrs. Bee
quarts factory Others broke the win
dows of houses and threw inside burn
ing straw.
kThe troops, hampered by the obstruc-
tions thrown in their way4by theI riot
ers, were for a long time unable to dis
perse the mob. Finally a determined
charge by laneers restored temporary
quiet.
After dark the rioters tore up sewer
gratings and paving stones and stretch
ed wires across the streets. Women
brought piles of empty bottles for use
as missiles, while boys swarmed up the
lamp posts and extinguished the gas
jets. In spite of the efforts of the SOL
diers the rioters then proceeded to sack
the houses, dragging out the furniture,
saturating it with petroleum and set
ting fire to it in the street. Fire was
put to two houses belonging to the
strikers employers and one big factory.
The local brigade, being inadequate to
cope with the confagrations, an urgent
appeal was sent to the neighboring
town of Lille, whence a steam pump
and reinforcements of firemen were
sent.
By midnight, however, the troops
and police had gained the upper hand
and dispersed the mob. The streets are
now deserted except for the armed pa
trolls. The authorities are taking meas
ures to ascertain the names of the ring
leaders in the riots.

Corvallis-Corvallis who went to
Alsea and Fachats region in search of
cascara homesteads are returning home.
They did not generally meet with the
success they anticipated. Cascara tree
locators whom they were to pay $50
for each quarter located failed to place
them on lands that promised to justify
the required outlay. None of those
who returned have as yet filed home
stead papers. Something over six Sec
tions of land have, however, been filed
on under the homestead arrangement
within the immediate past.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not
grippe nor weaken the system. They
cure biliousness, jaundice, cOnstipa-

the secretions, moving the bowels
gently, yet effectually, and giving
such tone and strength to the glands
of the stomach, liver and bowels
that the cause of the trouble is re-
moved entirely These famous little
pills exert a decided tonic effect upon
the organs involved, and If their use
is continued for few days there will
he no trace of the trouble.
