Mazatlan, Mexico. Jan. 2.-There is

hours and the alarm, which had begun
in some measure to abate, has re-
turned with increased strength. The
people are fleeing from the city at the
rate of 300 per day and some 5000
persons have gone already.
1t is a remarkable fact that more
than so per cent Of the persons at
tackled are women.
The report of the recrudescence Of
the plague at this port has reached
the interior towns of the state and is
causing panic. Sanitary cordons of
armed men have been placed around
the towns to prevent the entrance of
anyone from this place.

ARREST CAUSES MURDER.
Boy Taken in Custody by Detective
and Father Kills Officer.

Hinton, w. Va, Jan. 2.-Word has
just been received here of an alleged
murder committed at Dunns, Mercer
county, about 20 miles west of this
city. From information received,
Newton Lydle, of Piney, who claims
to belong to detective agency, was
in the vicinity of Dunns and arrested
a young son of Russell Lilly, claiming
the boy had disturbed an aged man
who resided nearby.
Young Lilly, who secured his re-
lease by promising to testify against
others whom the detective claimed
were equally guilty, Immediately told
his father of the arrest. The father
took his gun and hunted up Lydle.
When they met quarrel ensued and
resulted, it is alleged, in Lilly shoot
ing Lydle through the neck. A large
part of his jaw was torn away by the
shot, and he died soon after
Lilly Immediately gave himself up
to justice of the peace, claiming
that he did the shooting in self de-
Tense. Lydle had no warrants to
make any arrests.

TWO CENTS
ATTEMPTED Hold UP.
Blacksville Mail Carrier has Eek
citing Experience.

Robber stops Him in the Road aud
after Making him Throw up has
Hands Begins Firing ON Him Mail
Carrier shot obber gets away AZ
ter Fierce Bombardmenr.
James Tenant came into Blacks
vile on New Years eve at arather
faster pace than he usually drives his
team. He is the mail carrier from
Burton to Blacksyllle. The people OF
the latter place saw him coming In
about seven times faster than he had
ever arrived before and they ran out
to see what was the matter.
Tenant was out of breath but soon
recovered enough to tell OF hold up
which had occurred a couple OF miles
from town ia which he had been an
unwilling actor for some time.
He was driving along after dark.
Near town he was suddenly surprised
by man who stepped out in front OF
his horses and caught their heads at
the same time dwelling a revolver at
the occupant OF the buggy and de-
handing that his hands go up
They were put up. Hardly had
they reached their utmost extension
when the fellow began firing. He
fred three shots. One of these went
through Tenants hand and another
through his cap. The third one was
wild. So was Tenant.
He thought that the robber did not
know the rules of the game very well
and he refused to play any longer.
Whipping out his own gun he began
to lombard the robber. The fellow
stood fire for a moment and then he
left.
At the second shot he screamed and
almost fell A second robber started
at Tenant from the bushes. The
mail carrier concluded that he was
late enough with the mail as it stood
then aud as he did not want to scrap
any more he whipped up his horses
and came to town.
No good descriptions can be gained
of the robbers. Their boldness shows
that they meant business and Ten
nant is very lucky to have escaped as
well as he did.
No arrests have been made yet but
1t is hoped to catch the men. The
point at which the hold up occurred
is In Pennsylvania.
