block away. When Mr.. Crowley and
party started for the hotel they took
the precaution to take the middle Of
the street instead OF going up the
sidewalk which was lined with thugs
who had armed themselves with
bricks, two large stacks Of which
we're in the street at a convenient
point When Mr.. Crowley appeared
in the street the mob grew furious
and began 10 close in, when they
were demonstrated with cody and

yised them that they had better take

CrOwley's party TO the hotel, but he
was helpless before several hundred
Romish hyenas who we're thirsting
for the blood Of Protestants.
From the writer's interview with
Mr.. Crowley, and from the newspa-
per reports and descriptive letters
received at this Office, it is impossible
to convey an adequate idea Of the
ferocity Of the mob. The setting beg.

even attempt it here. Women were
in the crowd and made the very
welkin ring with their shrieks. such
as Kill him - "Cut out his heart :"
"Send a dagger through him!' ETC.,
etc.
BY judiciously offering counsel,
and at the same time walking direct
ly toward his destination, Mr..
Crowley avoided any serious assault
until within a few feet Of the hotel
door when, realizing that the last
chance for the night was at hand,
the yelling and honting became in
tense, and the mob closed in for final
attack. The melee that followed was
desperate. Mr.. Crowley's hat was
first knocked off, that his head might
be an easy target for the weapons of
the enemy, and being a very large,
tall man the target was easily acces-
sible.
Jim HanlOn, bar tender, former
ly a Protestant but who, il is al
legged, Joined the Catholic church in
order TO get a position in a saloon,
blackened one Of Mr.. Crowley's eyes,
and had it not been that Mr.. Crowley
had taken the precaution to remove
his glasses before leaving the opera
house he would have been a blind
msn today.

Mr.. Crowley was surrounded in
such a manner that II was as diff
cult for him TO move as IL was fot
his friends TO protect him and ward
off the blows, and he was severely
pounded from every direction.
Mr.. George W. Weaver, proprietor
Of the Hotel Mealey, was watching
the mob from the door Of the hotel,
and thinking that there might be q
possibility Of Mr.. Crowley reaching
the door alive, took the precaution TO
have the screen door open in order
that refuge might be as easy as pos
sible, but before Mr.. Crowley could
reach the door he was struck a tre-
mendous blow over the head with
an iron, supposed to be a heavy
clock weight, or something of the
sort, in the hands Of Ed. Murray, one
Of the leaders Of the mob and a clerk
in the jewelry store Of Nutting &
Jones. Severe as the blow was, Mr..
Crowley remained on his feet, how
ever, and with difficulty passed in at
the hotel door with his life, but with
an ugly wound which was bleeding
profusely and the sight Of which
sickened the bystanders.
Mr.. Crowley was ushered up TO
his room, and, realizing that their
prey had escaped, Romo's hoOdlums
became frantic. Pretty soon they
demanded of Mr.. Weaver that he be
turned out Of the hotel. Mr.. Weaver
refused. Then said the leaders Of
the mob: "If.you will not turn him
out yourself, we will drag him outs
To which Mr.. Weaver, patriot that
he is, retorted; IF you DO 10 WiH bs

During the riot a young man By

of the Hotel Mealey building, was
arrested by Officer Stoner. When
Mealey was searched it was found
that he had two large stones and q

The character Of Murray, the man
who dealt the blow that inflicted the
worst injury, is shown by an incident
which happened at the jewelry store

Mr.. Crowley was invited to 0el-
vein by the Guardians Of Liberty,
and as per arrangements arrived
there at 4.45 p. m, Thursday, june
18th, was met by Rev. A. II. Nickel,
pastor Of the Baptist church, Of

Guardians of Liberty, and other pa
triOtic citizens.
Arrangements had been made for
Mr.. Crowley to stop at the Hotel
Mealey, two blocks from the depot,
and the hearty reception he received
and the representative escort TO the
hotel was the first signal for the beast
to show its teeth, and it seems the

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

That the impeachment of Judge
Archibald of the Commerce Court
will undoubtedly have an important
effect on the agitation for the recall
OF the judiciary seems to be the gen.
eral opinion of the press of the coun-
try. The action of the Senate will at
least have the effect of making the
people think and act as a check on
mere party sentiment in favor of the
recall.
Constitutional lawyers agree that
the result of the Archibald trial has
set most important precedent. 1t
asserts the power of the Senate. Here
tofore this has been questioned. The
real issue in the case was the power of
the Senate to remove Judge for mis-
behavior. The decision renders the
tenure of the occupant of a judiciary
office dependent entirely on the con-
struction which the Senate may in the
future place on charge of "misbe-
havior," or misconduct"
1t was the contention of Archbald's
defense that the judge could be i'm
peached only on indictable offenses.
This question has never before been
thrashed out satisfactorily, for in the
two previous impeachment cases in
which the charges were sustained BY
the Senate no defense was made.
The late trial has, however, proven
that the present method is too cum
bersome. There is no reason salts
factory that the entire Senate should
sit as a court-a committee could ar
range necessary procedure and save
much time.

Los Angeles is known as the home
of the enterprising real estate agent
and probably no feat performed else
where in the line of selling lots has
been equaled by the exploit of one of
these Angelenos. He had almost con-
WINGED prospective customer of the
merits of a certain out-of-town lot, but
the prospect demurred at signing a
contract without seeing the property,
says a writer in the Technical World
Magazine.
1t was a little too late in the after
noon to go out, and besides the COM
pany's automobile was in use, but it
would never do to let the customer
get away. as he might change his mind
or see some other agent.
The salesman had big idea. A
captive balloon make frequent ascents
from lot just a few blocks back of
from the Office, rising to the end of
thousand foot cable and carrying pas
sengers at $l.OO trip.
With little urging the customer
was induced to take the aerial journey
and from that, altitude the agent point
ed out the suburban lot, showing its
exact location and the character of
the surrounding property quite as
clearly as if they were actually on the
ground.
Before they descended the prospect
had agreed to buy the lot and the
agent did not even have to threaten
to throw him overheard if he baked
at the contract.
