LYNCHING
THREATENED
IN PENNA.
Especial to The sentlneI.1

Easton, Pa, Aug. 27.-There was
much excitement about the county
jail at three o'clock this morning,
due to a rumor from South Bethle-
hem that a party of determined iron
warkers had left that place in an auto
mobile, coming to the county jail to
take A. T. Handy, a South Carolina
negro miner, from the officers and
lynch him. He is charged with the
murder of a policeman last night.
The sheriff armed all of the depu
ties and TRUSTEES and had the entire
police force stationed about the jail.
The prisoner was hidden in re-
mote corner of the prison and ofiic-
ials awaited the arrival of the lynch
ers. Handy shot and killed a police
man who was attempting to arrest
him on a charge of assauluing white
woman. When the negro was first
taken into custody, he was surround
ed by a mob and badly beaten. To-
day the negro pretends to be ignor-
ant of the happenings OF last night.
The daily sentinel., 1907-08-27

The news of the capture was con-
tanned in a letter Sheriff SChrader re
Ceived last night from E. c. Fur
ness, chief of Police of Florence.
1t will be remembered from the
dispatches that a few days ago two
mon, one n young man and the other
an older. heavy set man, both strang-
ers, visited Florence and that night
started out to hold up the Red light
district of the town. They were un-
successful. While they had the pro-
prietress of an i'll famed house and
a man lined up against a fence rob
biug them the night police and an
other officer came upon the scene.
The two hold-ups instead of sur
rendering peacefully opened fire on
the officers, the hold ups and the Off
GERS emptied their revolvers but no
one was hurt and the men escaped
for the time being. This was at mid
night.
The chief of police organized a
posse of fifteen men and dividing
them into squads began a search for
the two hold-ups and at five o'clock
caught them.
Chiei Furuess states that on search
ing the men he found on the younger
man a 80 calGbre. w. c. f. double ac-
tion Colts revolver. No 273,317. On
the older man was found one single
action Colts on 4 3 frame, No. 2S6,-
5O2 and one three-bladed stag handl-
ed knife.
Chief Furness remembered having
received a letter from Sheriff Sch
raider regarding the robbery of the
two stores in Grand Junction in
which was given the numbers of
three revolvers. description of the
knives and razors stolen from the
hardware store and the description
of the goods stolen from the cloth
ing house. He found that the two
revolvers taken from the hold-ups
answered precisely the descriptions
and were of the same number as
those stolen here.
One of the men had on a black
sateen shirt and other articles of
clothing answering description of
garments stolen from the Red Trunk.
Also the suspenders one man had on
answered descriptions of one of the
pairs stolen from the Red Trunk.
OF course the men denied robbing
the Grand Junction staores but there
Is no doubt regarding their guilt.
Chief Furuess and Sheriff Schrader
are convinced that they are the men.
Chief Furness writes that he has
evidence showing that the men were
in this section of the country at the
time of the two robberies. The young
man had a Wells Fargo money order
for S12 90 bought at Helper and pay
The daily sentinel., 1907-08-27

able to himself at any office, also
Globe Express money order. bought
at Salida, payable at any office to
himself. The two men had reEula-
tion hold-up outfits on when they
attacked the Florence Red light dis
trict. Each wore goggles.
1t is believed that the men either
sold the bulk of the goods stolen here
or have it in hiding. Sherif Schrader
got hold of a clue the other day that
may lead to the recovery of the rest
of the stolen goods and further prove
that these men are the burglars.
However, IL is hardly probable that
the two criminals will stand trial on
the robbery charges for n good while
to come. Charges of highway rob
berry have been preferred against
them at Florence for their work there
they have waived preliminary hear
ing and have been bound over to the
district court. There are five wit
nesses to the hold ups they perfect
ed in the Red light district. They Sc
cured about $25 from one of their
victims there.
CHIEF Furness did not mention the
names the two men gave him.
1t is an important capture and both
men Will probably get long prison
sentences.

With Joe CantIIon.

Spokane, Wash, July 7.-Walter
Johnson, Il native of California. born
at Anaheim 10 years ago, whose record
as Il pitcher is without parallel in
baseball history. has been signed by
the Washington team, where he will
report July 80.
johnson opened the season with the
Weiser team Of the Idaho State League
at Weiser, south of Spokane, and up
to June 80 pitched IS innings without n
hit being scored against him. He struck
out 166 men in 80 innings. and pitched
seven consecutive shutout games
johnson is credited with striking out
IL men in each of several games. In
one game he retired the first eight
men to face him, while IL others did
MT reach first base.
While in California, playing with the
Oinda team, he pitched 40 innings
without a hit being scored by the op-
posing team.
While his performances have never
been approached by the foremost big
leagues. young Johnson is modest. He
goes about his work on he diamond i'm
4 buSineSslike way. and is good-natur-
cd throughout. never questioning the
decisions of the man with the iudica-
tor, no matter how rank He has the
cEal acteriStic California faith in him
st If. and in this. coupled with his head
work, he has made more than good in
a state league composed of fast and
heady players brought to this part of
the Northwest from the baseball CEN
ters in the Middle West, East and Pa
ciic coast.
Fans who have watched him play
since the opening Of the season declare
that IT." coming year will see the
young Californian at the head of the
pitching ranks in the major laopues
