MURDOCH HEARS FROM 1T.
One Correspondent Would Hang the
FL Dorado Editor.

Colonel T. B. Murdoch, the sage of
FL Dorado, some time ago turned loose
a few remarks about trusts and what
he thought might be expected from
a long-suffering public in case they
are not curbed. Colonel Murdoch S
remarks were somewhat lurid and
somewhat like a Populist speech dur
ing the palmy days of SO. They have
been copied far and wide and now
Colonel Murdoch is daily receiving let
tiers called forth by his utterapces.
Part of them are commendatory, but
a considerable number are very rabid
in their denunciation of the Ell Dorado
editor. A day or two ago one came
from a Meadville, Pa, doctor who
heartily Joined in Colonel Murdoch s
sentiments. This was followed by an
other from a man in Kokomo, Ind,
who wanted to enlist under the Muir
dock banner to exterminate the
minions of the trusts.
But today a letter came from Pasa-
dena, Cal, which expressed the op-
posite sentiment. 1t had an Iguess-
willholdyouforawhile air about it
and Colonel Murdoch thinks so too.
In the letter was a clipping from
western paper entitled Republican
Advocates Anarchy The piece"
was surrounded by a border and read
ct B. Murdoch, d prominent editor
of FL Dorado, said tonight: After a
little the people, of this country will
rise up ana ndDR q rev 1lOckeIe1leTS
and other buzzards who rob and
plumber, not forgetting to include in
the general hangings a squad or two
of high court judges. Then all this
robbing and plundering and all these
technical court proceedings will
stop. For my part I am ready for
the hanging to begin tomorrow
Here is the letter that accompanied
the clipping:
Pasadena, Cal, Feb. %, 1905.
ct B. Murdoch:
IF this attached slip quotes you cor
rectly I think that you are the one to
be on the end of the rope and not the
law and order people that you decry. I
for one hope some of these days to pull
on the right end of that rope. that will
elevate you and the other cattle-viz.:
anarchists and socialists-to the posi-
ton in life where you belong.
Il regret that I do not live in your
locality, as I think you would look much
better in tar and feathers than you do
now, and if you lived in our section of
the country where we have patriotic
Americans, you would get what you de-
serve good and plenty and ID quick.
Il advise you to stay where you are
in the only state of the union where
your anarchist offerings are appreciat-
ed, and you do not get your deserts.
WIN. H. FLOTTER."

next Monday
In each Of the. cases the court is
asked to give the complainants 500
attorney fees, for that represents the
cost of bringing the suits.

their operations from the platform,
and to him DR.. Cartwright addressed
himself.
Look here, Mullins, want to know
what you've done with that carriage

we managed to save from being quite
destroyed with the others. The one,
you know, in which we found"
He whispered the rest in his ear.
The station master replied, with
glance of curiosity and sympathy COM
bined at the young man, who was the
doctors companion, that the carriage
or the remains of it had been left at
the side of the line, about one hundred
yards farther down. They soon found
it.
"Ah, yes" said the doctor, this is
the very carriage. You see, it is a
good deal damaged; but | think, for
all that, we may be able to find what
we are looking for. The first COM
partment is the one that concerns us"
One door of this had been smashed
and beaten in by the force of the con-
cussion; the seat had been splintered,
and showed that the fire had caught
1t in places, and the flooring was torn
ID. The other end of the compart-
.Sent though less wrecked, had re-
ceived more damage from the fire, the
cushions had entirely disappeared, the
woodwork was black and charred, and
what remained of the door hung from
single hinge.
"Now," said the doctor, taking off
his coat before clambering in, you
had better stop outside; there isn't
room for two of us in here at once.

end of the carriage which had re-
ceived least damage from the fire

Later in the day hundreds of people
gathered in the churchyard to witness
the interments.
The body Of Silas Burritt had been
taken back to the vestry, where it
would remain until his son fulfilled
the promise he had made and brought
81 home. Earth to earth, ashes to

of the burial service, as one by one
the collins were lowered, and the
first spadeful of earth cast upon them.
Ted Burritt stood bareheaded be-
side his new friend, the doctor. Sud-
denly there was commotion among
the crowd at little distance and he
heard a sharp cry. Then the crowd
opened, as though to make way for
some one, and he saw young man
leading a figure in black, whom he
recognized as the widow, whose hope
less grief he had before been a wit
ness of, but who now was clinging
to the arm of the youth who support
ed her, and seemed as though her sud-
den joy were almost more than she
could bear.
