JOSEPH JONES ASSAULTED.
Oregon Short Line Detective Draws
Gun and Wild Riot Follows.

An assault on Special Agent Joseph
Jones was one of the most exciting
incidents of strenuous yesterday. He
was standing to the north OF a car
which had been stopped Jones' upon
being "rotten-egged,' started backing
out Of the crowd, which was yelling
like demons Lynch hinl lynch

Ills pocket, and ordered the mob back,
and those nearest tried to halt. hut

Forced them along, Jones put the
gun in his pocket, or at least had his
hands lowered for that purpose when
man jumped at him from behind and
seized his arms, In less than five sec
ords jones was fiat on the pavement,
with at least a score Of men upon him.
ID. r. Gray. district freight and
passenger agent OF the o, s. l.. was
near by, and he fairly forced Police
officer Lyons through the crowd to
Jones rescue. Lyons undoubtedly
saved the life of Jones. for the crowd
seemed bent on killing him Lyons had
TO use his club freely on some OF the
mob. Others in the rear were hur-
rahing the officer. thinking that he
was arresting Jones. This led the
latter to believe that the officer was
against him, ana de denlurred against
being taken 70 the station. On the
way over. however, the two men came
to an understanding, and Jones v'iil-
ingly accompanied Lyons into police
headquarters.
Jones was taken into the private
office OF Chief Sheets. where he re-
manned for a while. and WAS then
taken home In "a carriage, His clothes
were despatched with eggs OF the
very stale kind and he was dust from

HAD BRASS kNUCKLES.
Conductor Arrested But Assslllant Per-
mttcd to go Free

There was a deal of conlrnotion on
Main street, just In front OF the White
House, at 9;45 this morning, when Il
mob made furious attack upon B.
Spotten, non-unfon man. The lat
ter attempted to run a car TO Murray
but the car was stopped in front OF the
White House where a gang OF tOughs
had collected. A stranger attempted
to board the car, and II is charged that
Spo1ten struck him In a second there
was a rough and tumble fight. and
Spotten threatened to use brass ltnuc-
kles. AT this iuncture Officer George
Phillips took hand In the affair and
placed Spotten under arrest. He was
booked at police headquarters on the
charge OF carrying concealed weapons.
It is a significant fact that the man
who assaulted Spotten WAS not arrested
and no attempt was made TO keep the
unruly gang from breaking the WIN
dows Of the car.
