STRAINED CONDITION OF AF-
FAIRS IN PITTsBURG.
PITTSBURG WROUGHT UP
Mob Assembled in Front Of a Jail,
Hoping to Lay Hands on Black Man
Who Had InsuIted Woman on the
Streets.

PlTTSBURG, Pa, Feb. S.-Many
persons gathered in the vicinity of the
east end police station this morning,
believing that James Dickson, a negro
arrested Saturday night for insulting
a white woman, and who narrowly es-
capped being lynched by an infuriated
crowd, would be given hearing. Ow-
ing to the inability of the young wo-
man to appear against the negro until
tomorrow, the case was postponed.
When an attempt was made Satur-
day night by plainclothes officer to
arrest Dickson, the negro knocked the
officer down and fought so desperately
that the policeman's clothes were al
most torn Off The fight attracted a
large crowd, which became threaten
ing when it was learned that Dickson
had insulted white woman.
Throwing the negro to the ground,
the officer drew his revolver and held
the crowd off until squad of police
came to the rescue.
Magistrate Brady, who has sentenc,
ed a number OF negroes to long terms
in the workhouse during the past
week, today received an anonymous
letter advising him to be more lenient
in dealing with negroes or he would
meet with violence.
Notwithstanding the stringent meas
ures taken by the authorities, major
ity of the negro population is defiant
and there is apparently no abatement
of assaults against white women.

MAN SHANGHAlED IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA TOO WEAK TO TALK.

TACOMA, Wash, Feb. $50 weak
was the condition of #. A. Cox, gen
eral manager of the Arizona and Pitts
burg Mine and Smelling company of
Ariz., today that visitors and
reporters were denied admittance to
his rooms at St. Joseph hospital. 1t
was said he will receive visitors in a
few days.
While there is an air of mystery
about his experience he is said to
speak like man who is holding back
a story of a great wrong done him.
Asked if he would give the name of
the ship on which he had been so long,
he replied that he did not know the
ships name.
The ship will land at San Francisco
again, was all he would say.
'If my friends have been able to
wait several weeks to learn the details
of my disappearance, they can now
wait another day." he said.
He complained of having sprained
back and legs, and declared he had
lost 20 pounds in weight since falling
into the hands of his abductors.
Cox is the man who was shan ghaied
after being robbed, in Southern Cali
fornia.

New High Price Creates More Activity
in the Wheat Pit Than Has Been

The establishing of new high

all day In addition to heavy purchases
of the May delivery there was active
