LEAVE CHURCH TO LYNCH MAN
Worshipers Rush from Pews and Hang
Negro Who Killed Policeman.

Crisfeld, Md.--The residents OF
this place rushed out of churches the
other morning to aid in the lynching
of James Reed a half-breed negro,
who murdered James II. Daugherty, a
policeman. Daugherty had arrested
a friend of Reed for selling liquor.
Reed followed the officer and shot him

The slayer seized a bicycle and fed
to the bay. where he stole boat and
tried to sail across to the Virginia

When the boat returned here a
great crowd was waiting The boat
steamed about for half an hour wait
ing for the crowd to disperse, and
then 100 deputies having been sworn
in to preserve order, the murderer
was landed. He had hardly reached
the foot of the gang plank when the
mob made a rush for him and dragged
him out of the hands of the officers
He was beaten and kicked almost tC

streets to the scene of his crime and
hanged to a telegraph pole.
A coroner's jury rendered a verdict

Garritys Were Fighting Men.

 Garritys Were Fighting Men.
 Then there were the Garrity broth CTS, John, Hugh and Mike They were an especially tough trio and known as fighting men. They were guilty of nu- merous assaults, some of them of the most serious character. It was John Clarity who bit an ear off of Alderman James Peavey, who was also gamb- Ter. The men had engaged in fight and in the absence of more deadly weapons Garrity used his teeth on the part of the alderman's anatomy that was most convenient. Hugh and Mike Garrity are dead, having fallen into poverty and the same i'll fortune that pursued most of their fellows. On one occasion, also, the Garrity brothers, in the course of gamblers feud with John Bowling, who ran rival estab- lishment proceeded to beat Bowling up in frightful fashion. Bowling was one of the characters of the old Clark street that was at once one of the best and one of the worst He was brutal and often beat men with the butt of the big revolver he carried, for no stronger apparent reason than a de- sire to see them fall. At the same time he was generous to the ~unfor- tunate, and as a result had many of the most bitter enemies and a great many staunch friends. Bowling lost his money after Clark street was closed to the big gamblers and died of paresis five years ago.
 One of the picturesque characters of the street was James Watson, alias Sir James, alias the Big Englishman. His finish came quicker than that of many of his associates, for he was stabbed by George Russell, alias White Pine, bunko man. Russell ac- quired his alias from the fact that he came to Chicago from White Pine. Nev. He was fighting man of the western type, but was acquitted in his trial for the stabbing of Sir James.

LangdOn's place on the evening of March l, 1883, when Dunn entered. From this point in the story there Is a wide divergence in the alleged facts. Dunn, always vain and always boast ful, gave a version to the effect that he was attacked by Elliott and fought him single-handed for half an hour after everyone else had fled in terror. Elliott was more than six feet tall and giant in strength. Dun claimed he shot his enemy only after the latter had forced him to the floor and was holding cooked revolver against his breast. The other side of the story is that Dunn entered the place, found FL liOtt sitting at table and, without warning and without giving Elliott any chance for his life, shot him. Acquitted of the Crime.
 Luther Lafiin Mills was states at torney, and the trial was of unusual interest. But the jury acquitted Dunn on the ground of self-defense After ward Dunn went east, became inter- ested in race horses through the gift of an interest in horse by a friend, and soon became of some prominence on the eastern turf He virtually was driven out of Chicago because the au- thorities, who in those days tolerated almost everything that was bad, de- cided that Jere Dunn was too disrep- utable and dangerous for even Clark street to harbor. In his advancing years he fell back on his power over women and married one much young CT than himself who had money enough to support him.
 Thus has death or poverty oyertak- en most of the old Clark street crowd. In many cases it was both. both. In some instances, as in the case of Mcdonald, health and fortune have been left, but fate has played him tricks even less acceptable than death or destitution.
 In this later day misfortune seems to follow the men who have accumulat- ed vast fortunes of tainted" money. The old Clark street money was pol luted, and the misfortunes of the old crowd seem greater than those of the owners of tainted money

THAT MAGIC WORD
DIFFERENCES FORGOTTEN AT
 THE MENTION OF HOME"
Little Wife Forgot "Po;nt" She Had Meant to Make, and a Happy Party Went on It's Way
 United.

A small, frail-looking woman, fol lowed by two young men of more TO- bust fiber, although closely resem- bling her. hurried up to gatekeeper in the Grand Central station.
 Does the train from Gresham come in here?" she asked, anxiously.
 When the right gate was found there was still 30 minutes to spare.
 Better go inside, Lefty, and rest" suggested one of the brothers.
 But Lefty would not leave the gate. Her two brothers looked significantly at each other, and let her have her way. They took turns in carrying the baby up and down.
 Long before the train came the conversation revealed the situation. They were here to meet Letty's hus- band, who six months ago had gone away because of supposed irrecon- cilable differences between himself and his wife. But the relations on both sides had arranged a peace. He was returning-the broken home was to be restored.
  ming" repeated the little woman, after asking her brother again to look at his watch. She was becoming more and more nervous.
 It was easy to guess at the differ ences that had undermined this home. Excellent qualities were revealed in the young wife's face. Although of a nervous temperament she was no shrew But evidently she had hab- it of imparting pieces of her mind." She was capable of love, but one of those who stickle for point while deeper consequences go unnoticed- Had the sad months past taught her the larger wisdom of life?
 Tt was Jim's fault at first-I stand just as firm as ever,' she repeated, the tears in her eyes contrasting curiously with her words. But for baby's sake I'll try it."
 She must make her brothers under stand that consenting to live again with Jim did not involve yielding her original point!
 '.I shall tell him so-the first thing!"
 The brothers looked into each others eyes doubtfully. Would there be scene?
 To the brothers relief the train finally came. One held the baby, leaving Lefty free-to tell Jim.
 In the long line of passengers nov ing toward the gate big fellow loomed up whose blue eyes searched vaguely. Suddenly he made rush forward.
 The little woman's face lighted up and grew beautiful; then she remem- bered herself and set her face in or der. There was that point to be made first.
 Jim, big and awkward and gentle, kissed the baby first-perhaps he, too. was giving Lefty her opportunity.
 She went close to him; her head just reached his chest The words seemed to stick.
 Jim awkwardly patted her shoulder. waiting.
 Lefty" he said, at last, his voice faltering over the last word, let's go -home.'
 And then they all marched away to- gether-the little woman's face beau tiful now with the light, which stayed. She had let the point" go. Through the awkwardness of Jim, big and blundering and kind, had worked great wisdom-only four words, but the last one that word laden with the magic of the ages!- Youths Companion.

ing the reign of Mcdonald was the Mecca of many crooks, gamblers, con- fidence men, bad" men and other classes of disreputables, but no figure ever appeared in the street who, by force of his all-around wickedness, commanded the attention that Jere Dunn got. Even Dunn's friends did not claim for him any degree of mor- als. Some of them say that he was square" with his partners in crime, but his history disproves even that contention. One of the men who knew him best says that Dunn never knew what physical fear was. If this was true it is, about all the good that can be said of him, even after his death. Dunn died in New Jersey last year of malignant cancer Wherever he went he made criminal history and some of it Is worth re-telling in any narrative of the Clark street crowd.
 This notorious character made his appearance in Clark street in the early sos. The vicious atmosphere of the street was incense in the nostrils of Dunn. In 1883 he got into fight with Jimmy" Hoey, thief and gambler. and shot him in the groin. Hoey re- fused to appear against Dunn when the case came up for trial.
