4 MURDERER SURROUNDED.
Fred Mink, Who Killed Newton w. Harris and His Stepmother
 Besieged Near Pittsfeld, Ill.
SURROUNDED IN 4 DESERTED HOUSE.
The Killing of Harris Due to the Lntter's Forbidding MinI<'s Atten- tions to His Daughter-The Cause of the Second Murder Remains Unexplained.

Chicago, June 16.-A dispatch to the Tribune from Pittsfeld, H., says:
 As the result of double killing, committed here, Sunday, Fred Mink, 21 years of age, is besieged in a de- serted house on the edge of town, while mob and sheriff's posse are seeking to effect his capture. The members of tlse mob declare they will lynch him, and the sheriff and his deputies are trying to make hlm prisoner and take him to jail.
 Cause of the First Killing.
 Mink shot and killed Newton W. Harris, a farmer, who lived near town, and then killed his stepmother. Rage over the refusal of Harris to al- low him to pay attentions to his daughter is thought to have inspired one killing, but the death of Mrs. Mink is not explained.
 Mink, who is 21 years os age, re gently returned from the state of Washington. Before leaving home for the west, he paid attentions to Beu- lah, the daughter of MT. Harris, and his suite had been discouraged by the father. Since his return Mink has de- clared that he intended to even up scores. MT. Harris was in his pasture lot Sunday when Mink crept up be- hind him. He was armed with a rife, and from the shelter of fence he fired on the unsuspecting farmer, who fell. Mink then ran to the prostra ,e man and shot him four times in the back and side as he lay on the ground.
 Missed Mrs. Harris.
 Alarmed by the firing, Mrs. 4Aarris ran from the house, short distance away, and started toward her hus- band. Mink drew revolver as she approached and fired one shot, miss ing Der. Then he ran from the field aEd disappeared in the woods near by.
 A reach was instituted for Mink and a number of people went to his home. Forcing an entrance, they dis covered the body of Mrs. Mink lying on the floor She had been shot number of times and was dead when found. The citizens organized strong posse, fully armed, to search for Mink and at length he was found hidiEg in deserted house on the edge of the town. As the crowd ap- preached he showed himself at win dow and told his pursuers that he would kill the first man that ap- preached the house. He showed his rife and revolver and fired shot at one man who tried to run around corner of the house to get at him from behind. The sheriff insists that he will make every effort to prevent a lynching.

BOWS UNDER THE YOKE.

The Gunuisu Tribune man meek
ly bows his head for the W1lcott
halter as follows.
The republican party Of Colorado
settled the question AT the state CON
ventiun as to who should lead ii i'm
the future.
u Is sad commentary un modern
boss rulJ that this Wolcott. a
moral reprobate and social uutcast
whose political record is that Of a
bully. false to every interest Of Colo
RADIO, a man who crushes his party
enemies and domineers his allies.
whose boast Is that he cares nothing
Tor friends or foes. that this man
should be returned and accepted a,
the guiding star of Colorado repub-
hcans. Such things we read of I'm
unwIcldy New York or corrupt Penn
sylvanIa, but it would hardly have
been thought possible in Colorado.
However. there Is not wanting
plenty Of evidence that the better
element Of the party is revolving.
even though the Tribune swallows
the dose without a murmur From
over in Ouray, John 7. Wood Of the
Times, reads Adams an admirable
lesson He winds up by saving.
We know not how you may express
yourself further on these vital aues-
tions. dear republican contemporary.
but for us, we Will not work in VOL
colt harness. At Pueblo. that able
leader. l. y. Stevens, has a daily
editorial in the Chieftain lambastinu
Wolcott. Local republicans are
many Of them ou.spoken in denounc-
ing him. and as for the voters at
large they have spoken sever
al times about that very individual.
