DELAWARE CITIZENS
AROUSED BY A MURDER
Negro Without Provocaton Shoots Respected Citizen
and Threats of a Lynching Aroused the Police
That the Prisoner is Spirited Away
to Columbus.

Columbus, o., Sept. 29.-In order
to escape the vengeance of an angry
mob of Delaware citizens, Chief
Matthews, of that city, Sunday af-
ternoon quietly spirited Henry Dalton
the negro murderer of Chris Horn,
a Big Four engineer, to the Columbus
city prison, where he will be held
until the passions of the slain mans
friends have cooled.
The tragedy was unprovoked and
was one of the most cold-blooded and
sensational in the history of Della
ware. Dalton, who was employed
by James Knowlton, stone quarter
of Sunbury, was driving down the
main street of Delaware with his en-
ployer at 10 o'clock Saturday night,
and when opposite the Donavin hotel,
in the heart of the city, he narrowly
missed running down Horn, who was
walking. Horn turned around and
said:
"It's wonder you wouldn't look
where you are driving"
Dalton turned the buggy around
and drove back to the scene. Knowl-
ton got out of the buggy. and he and
Horn had some words, which result
ed in a fight. Horn seemed to be
having the best of the fight, and when
Dalton saw this. he got out of the
buggy and shot him.
He then ran up the street, but had
run but a short distance when he
fell into the hands of Patrolman Will
liams, who took him to prison
Horn died at II o'clock yesterday
morning.
| The tragedy happened late at night,
and for this reason there we're few
people In the streets. But yesterday
when the word was passed around
that the popular engineer was dead,
indignation surged in the breasts of
his friends. They gathered in little
knots, which amalgamated until
there was a group of hundred de-
iitermined men discussing the tragedy
Threats were uttered, and 1t began to
look bad for the negro, who shivered
on the cell floor of the Delaware pris-
ION.
In order to avoid any possible
trouble, Chief Matthews determined
10 take his prisoner to Columbus
where he would have ample protec-
tion, rather than risk a riot with
the limited resources of the Delaware
lofficials.
Quietly driving buggy around Ia
the rear of the city prison he hustled

the trembling Dalton into IL, then
drove rapidly out of the city. He took
a road infrequently travelled and
the few people whom he met did not
recognize the prisoner. Matthews
drove to Stratford, little town near
Delaware and at this point boarded a
Columbus, Delaware and Marion car
for Columbus.
Dalton was pinioned with a hand
cuff the other link of which was fas-
tened to the chiefs wrist, but this
was scarcely necessary for the muir
derer was so frightened that he could
scarcely have been induced to leave
the side of the police official. They
sat in the smoker, at the front end
of the car, and throughout the trip
Dalton, furtively looked back toward
suing mob to appear. Continually his
thick lips moved as his terror-strick-
en- eyes rolled in agony. When taken
to the city prison here, he breathed
sigh of relief as he heard the heavy
iron door click between him and pos
sible danger.
To Chief Matthews. Dalton admit
ted the murder and also that 1t was
unprovoked. He said he was in no
fear of Horn. Dalton claimed he had
been drinking. Chief Matthews has
filed an affidavit charging second
degree murder. Dalton is 35 years
old and very black. He has the
heavy, sullen face which betokens the
Ignorant negro.
Chris Horn, the murdered man,
was 45 years old and left widow and
two small children. He ran on the
Big Four and as he ran into Colum-
bus frequently, had many friends
here.
He was known as quiet, orderly
imam and a good citizen. Among
irailroaders and also among citizens
Generally he was immensely popular
and his ruthless murder excited
lmuch anger. Dalton probably will
be kept in Columbus for few days

DARING
ESCAPE
Prisoners Turn the Table
on Their Guards and
Make Their Get
away.

Chicago, Sept. %. After having
locked a Jail guard and "trusty"
in a cell, two prisoners climbed
through a window en- the fourth
floor of the county Jail here Sun
day afternoon and made their es-
cape in plain view OF "a number of
persons who were passing in the
street. "A third prisouer, after hay-
ing started TO descend from the
window, climbed back in and re-
turned to his cell when the alarm
was given.
Within few minutes the police
were on the trail of the jail-break-
ers.
The escape was accomplished by
a clever 17Ise. Choosing moment
when all of the prisoners in that
tier of cells were in the exercise
noon, one of the prisoners asked
the guard Michael Bioomberg, to
unlock his cell that he might get
a pack of playing cards. John
Scott, the "trusty" was about Ia
hand Bloomberg a note when both
he and the guard were seized, the
keys secured md the two were
forced into the cell and locked in. /.
Producing saws which are sup
posed TO have been smuggled to
them by some accomplice, the pris-
cners sawed two iron bars from
the windows and descended from
tho window by clinging to the bars
on the windows below and dropping
into the street.
The men who escaped were Will
lam Rogers, % years old, charged
with larceny and Stanley Weslek
26 years old, held for burglary.

FORAKER NEITHER
DEAD NOR SLEEPING

If any of the ardent admirers Of
President Roosevelt and his pet
presidential possibility Secretary
Taft, have been laboring under the
impression that Senator Foraker
had surrendered the ship in Ohio
and was re9dy to be retired to
private life by the Roosevelt
Taft-Longw h-Burton-Mouser route
they have only to look at the con-
vention Of Saturday to see the hand
writing on the wall and learn their
mistake. The fact of the matter is
that the Forakeries took the bit
an their teeth and made clean
sweep, and that too, on the initial
ballot. The Foraker men did moi
even take the time to adopt sci
of resolution, and the Tatfs crOwd
was kept so busy ducking the full
mnf swings made by the other fel
lows that no time was left fol
resolving a single resolve. The
convention was not in the resolution

is so much that is absolutely cer-
ta;nl
II is known and universally con-
cc.lcd that Hoke w. Donithen, the
nominee of the convention is q
Foraker man. ~
1t is also known that so far
as the election this fall is concern
ed, neither faction cared greatly
who won out, but the rub came
when it was remembered that the
man who makes the race this fall
will, if elected, be entitled to cleo
tion in 1908. The man who is elect
ed in 1908 will have a vote for a
United States Senator to succeed
Senator Foraker and it was there
that the rub came.
Foraker is making the fight of
his life to succeed himself and he
recognized the condition which
exists in Marion county. The word
Iwas sent out to the lieutenants that
Marion must be brought into the
fold, this fall and the start has
been made.
The republicans of Marion county
must decide at the polls in Novem-
ber whether the wish Foraker re-
turned to the senate. If Donithen
is elected it means his recollection
in 1908 and his reelection in 1908
means vote for Joseph Benson
Foraker for United States senator.
No Foraker is neither dead poll
tically nor is he sleeping on his
arms.
