AN OUTLAWS WORK.

Another Bold Deed by Chris Evans, the Escaped Bandit.’ o

He Il{olds Up Six Men in a California Town —His Attempted Arrest Results in the Shooting of Three Would- ! e Be Captors. . HIS ESCAPE. i Fres~o, Cal., Jan. 13.—Two men, believed to be Chris Kvans, the'escaped Visalia bandit, and, his promising understudy, Ed Morrell, raided the town of Fowler Wednesday evening, and another tale of bloodshed and terror, with three wounded left on the field, is/ the result. Fowler is :a vil lage of 300 i,_n.hg,blitants, 10 miles southeast of Fresno. George Leon, the station agent, and three men employed as section hands were in the tepot at 7 o’clock, just after the Los ‘Angeles express passed. While the men were talking a masked man with a,revolver in each hand approached at the open door and ordered them to ‘throw up their hands, . Not cne hesitated to obey. e . : At this juncture Howard Harris and A. Vincent, prominent business men of Fowler, stepped on the depot platform and took in the situation. They were about to run away and give the alarm when the robber espied them 'througﬁh' the . window. . The outlaw, still keeping the other men covered, backed slowly out of the door and ordered Harris - and Vincent into the depot, saying he would kill them if they refused. . They went in. The masked man then stood the six citizens up along the wall, covering them with one revolver, and went through their pockets. He secured a little over §7O.

The daring freebooter then ordered his six prisoners into the street and made them walk down town along the principal . thoroughfare to Kutner & Goldstein’s grocery store. The robber followed his six prisoners into the 'store and it was evidently his intention, alone and single-handed, to loot the grocery.” However, just as he ordered three men previously in the store to throw up their hands. the proceeding was interrupted by Constables Qchs and Nelson. _

Then began ablocdy shooting affray. Ochs, with pistol drawn, rushed into the store. The bandit turned upon him and fired. Ochs fell to the fioor and rolled out through the door, firing at the robber from the floor. His aim was wild, however, and the constable shot one citizen through the arm and another in the breast. The man hit in the breast was struck by a spent bullet and was not seriously hurt, though knocked down. During this general fusillade the robber escaped and: disappeared in the darkness. : . :

Another robber appeared upon the scene, however, during the battle in the grocery. A wagon dashed up to the door and the driver began shooting at Constable Ochs, thus-aiding in the escape of the robberrwithin. The man in the wagon then drove rapidly away. This man . answers: the description -of Chris lEvans. In the other robber, who wore a baadana handkerchief over his face, th: men attacked believe ‘they recognized Ed Morrell. The robber told them, also, that his name was Morrell. Itis believed here that the bandits, becoming pressed for food and money, came down from the mountains determined to make a raid. A posse left this city.to organize a pursuit from Fowler. |

.Constable Ochs, who is badly wounded in the right thigh and groin, was one of the jurors who convicted Chris Evansf the murder of Deputy Unifed States Marshal Vie Wilson. Ochste‘ clares lie wounded the younger of the two robbers. It is generally agreed here and at Fowler that the daring raid was the work of Evans and Morrell. DEATH OF dJ. C. POWER. The Custodian of Lincoln Tlonument Passes Away. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Jan. 13.—John Carroll Power, custodian of the Lincoln monument, died Thursday. He was stricken with apoplexy while on |a street car. He was carried home and died ‘a few minutes later. Mr. Power had been custodian of the monument ever since its erection in 1874 and was well known. He was born in Kentucky, September 19, 1819. ;

[John C. Power was born September 19, 1319, in Fleming county, Ky. He was raised o¢n a farm, but engaged in other pursuits a number of years, always cultiyating habits of study and occasionally writing, but without any thought of becoming an author until well advanced in life. His first book was the “History 'of the Rise and Progress of Sunday, Schools, which is accepted as authority. Among his other works are a “Life of Lincoln” and “Early Settlers of Sangamon county. At the close of the rebellion he met with reverses and removed to Kansas where he engaged in agricultural pursuits for three years. He then disposed of his farm and returned to Springfield in 1369. Mr. Power was wholly wrapped up in his position as custodian of the Lincoln monument, o much so--that he was.not always happy in his treatment of visitors. but no one questioned the zeal and fideli--3y with which he guarded the sacred ashes intrusted to his care.i ; ) Died in a Blizzard. : WinxipEG, Man., Jan. 13.—The blizzard which raged here Wednesday nighs has subsided. Reports of deaths during the gale are coming in, James McChorrister, a Winnipegger, was found dead Thursday with a whisky bottle by his side. He was frozen stiff. Robert Mills, a farmer of Headingly, was caught in the storm while returning home from Winnipeg and found dead Thursday. r : INDIANS OPPOSE STATEHOOD. Choctaw vNation De’:cla.res Itself in Favor i of Tribal Relations. St.. Louis, Ja#n. 18.—The twenty-six counties in the Choetaw nation have voted almost unanimously against statechood or any severance of tribal relations. The same feeling exists, it .is stated, in the other four civilized tribes, coupled with a bitter feeling toward the Dawes commission, which will discuss statehood with the Indians next month. The result will undoubtedly be a repulse of the government’s advances. . Vaiue of a Man Who was Lynched, SavriNa, Kan,, Jan. 18.—In the district court the tase of Adams vs, the city of Salina was concluded and the jury returned a verdict awarding stwo dollars damages to Adams (colored) for the loss of his son, who was hanged by a mob last April.

A NEW COMPLICATION.

it Is Claimed That Willis Made Big Demand Without Authority. ;

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—The constitutional lawyers of the house hLave detected .an interesting legal complica~ tion in connection with the Hawailan situation . which may result in bringing in question the authority of Minister Willis to make a demand on President Dole. to retire. Up to December 18 last President tCleveland and the executive branch of the government were directing the course- of Hawailian affairs. But on that day Mr. Cleveland’s message was sent to congress, stating that he would turn over the subject to the broader authority of congress and would thereafter cooperate in any just solution which congress might propose. The president’s course in turning the subject over to congress was undoubtedly communicated to Minister Willis at once with instructions for non-ac-tion. No steamer left this country for Hawaii until December 19, so that the president’s conclusion to leave the subject 'with congress could not have reached Minister Willis until December 26. s ‘ ’

Under these circumstances there is a hiatus of eight days from December 18 to 25, during which the authority of Mr. Willis to act was most obscure, = It happened that the date on which Min-. ister Willis made the demand on President Dole to retire was December 19, President Cleveland had already given the subject ‘‘to the broader authority of congress.” ]

Under these circumstances the lawyers of congress are asking as to the authority of Minister Willis to act during the hiatus, and particularly as to the validity of his action on December 19, after congress had received authority to direct his actions. , '

Judge Culberson, chairman of the judiciary committee and an authority on legal questions, said that Minister Willis was bound by early instructions until he received notice that they were changed. It made no difference, he said, that the president turned over the subject to congress on December 18, as. this fact did not become known to Minister Willis until December 26, so that up to the latter date he had authority to execute his early instructions. . LYNCHED. : . An Ohio Mob’s ‘Revengé“ on the Murderer o of an Aged Couple. West UxioN, 0., Jan. 15.—Roseoe Parker, a shiftless colored boy of. 16 vears; was lynched early Friday morning for the murder four weeks ago of Pit Rhine and his wife, an aged couple living at West Union, who were murdered in their cabin for slo—all they "had. A heavy club and a butcher knife had been usad. The threats of the aged couple were cut fromn ear to ear, and the murderer had fearfully beaten the bodies with a bludgeon. : Roscoe Parker was examined by the coromer, and remandeg to jail, where he was reported to have made several confessions. The people gathered to lynch him, but the officers took him to Portsmouth jail. Thursday Parker was brought to West Union for a preliminary hearing, all talkof a mob seemingly having died out. = -

'The mob formed out of town in a quiet and business-like way and the members were, it is said, all good citizens and taxpayers:-- Late at night, having left a guard over the vehicles that had brought the country people in, the mob moved off like a regiment of soldiers. Sheriff Dunlap saw the masks and bolted the doors of the jail. The door was beaten in and Parker, half-clad, leaped to the top of the cell and fought the mob back. He was. quickly overpowered and was started for the wagons. The sheriff harangued the mob, but to no purpose. o ' Quickly the procession drove to a point near North Liberty. The party formed in double rank and the murderer, with pinioned arms, was taken out - and. hurried! to where a

long = limb reached . out over an embankment. * A rope - was fastened to the limb, passed about Parker’s neck and then a score of hands hauled away.{ Suddenly ‘one hand burst from its bonds and seized the rope above-his head. He was quickly lowered, the arm refastened, and again the body shot upward. A shot was fired and soon a dozen pistols were sending lead into the writhing body.

: THE TIDE HAS TURNED. %radstreet’s Encouraging View of the Business' Outlook, NEw YORK, Jan. 15.—Bradstreet’s says: i i " Special telegrams from leading trade centers to Bradstreet’s bring evidence not enly of much that is encouraging regarding the outlook but that the tide has actually turned. It appears beyond question that the depression in industrial and commercial lines has for some time been at a low ebb, and thata movement in the direction of an expansion of the volume of business has appeared.. The pendulum which swung in one directioz srgm May last year until 1894 should soon be %éen swinging in the opposite direction, and Bradstreet’s points as evidence of that fact to the increase of 84 per cent. in the production of pig iron within three months, to an excess of deposits over payments at some of the largest savings banks in the United States, and to resurhption of work at industrial establishments in all directions (even though with lower wages and on shorter time) as contrasted with the epidemic of shut-downs prevalent a month and more ago.”’ 2 ; o Dun’s trade review notes a distinct improvement in business, based on actual increase in the production of industries. Failures for the week have been 474 in the United States, against 286 last year; and 57 in Canada, against 20 last year. ‘LIFE IN OKLAHOMA. s Murder Trial at Guthrie Ended by Shoot- \ ing the Accused.

The | three rescued men were taken to the | city hospital. The names of five of the | lost men are: Neal Finlayson, William |‘§: = Nelson, ;Rg;bgr}_ J; Wilson, ‘L%%Jx . Hughe§ and Peter Safranski The . drowned men, eéxcept the ferryman, z were from England. T.h?' were of thg . crew of the Meraca and had been on | shore leave..

Jan. 15.—Into the chilly | waters of Newton creek a hundred men: ,and boys without warning ~were ! plunged late Friday afternoon by the | breaking of a flimsy wooden bridge. In ' the struggle for their lives that fol- - lowed jxo one can now tell how many of: ! them were swept away to death by the [ tide. The first accounts were that many , of them were missing, but most of . these had been accounted for at mid- | night and many a family that had first i feared lest it be fatherless or brother- . less rejoiced in the safety of those that ‘ had been near to death. : ' The following, all of Brooklyn, are reported missing: . L { . Barney Boyle, Auzust Bium, Robert Link, ' Patrick Kelly, John Kerwin, Michael Logan | and Hugh Mackey. ; | The injured arei o i Timcthy Gannon, suﬁering from shock and i wound in left ankle; John McAvoy, leg broken: | John Toomey, suffering from shock. A score i or‘more slightly injured. : . 5. The draw had been opened for a “ couple of tugs and one of them had be- | come fastemed in the opening. The ' people, anxious to be first in crossi ing when the-draw closed, crowded | upon the stationary span and | overtaxed its strength. The ' acieident caused = great excitement zin -the neig,li?orhood, and many i who were waitihg on the shore to get [ across lost their self control to such an. . extent as not to be able to assist those ! strugling in the water for their lives. { YThe tide was slow and had just i turned, but there was still a depth of. ! 10 feet of water, and in this the strug- ' gling mass ‘of humanity was thrown . amid the wreckage of the fragile struc’s ture.. Some of the cool ones on the shore | threw pieces of wood to serve as buoys | to those struggling in the water. At 1 last the ropes with which the fallen . span had once been swung were cut . away and used in dragging the unfori tunates out of the stream. It was sev- { eral minutes before. any of them | were taken ashore. Only a feiw ' of them - were able to help them- | selves -by swimming, and these | were dragged back and down by . those who could not. The fortunate | coming of two tug boats was all that i served to avert a greater disaster, These were the J. W. Cloud and the ; Conklin. Many of those in the water | supported themselves by the floating | timbers of the fallen bridge, keeping, | themselves. afloat until they were “dragged on board the tugboats. L l Miss Annie Foley, 20 years old, whose | father keeps a road house on the Brook- { lyn shore of the bridge| heard the cry . of those in the water, and looking from | a window saw them struggling for % their lives. She picked up a carving | knife, ran into the back yard, cut: off . part of a clothes line, and then ran to the shore. She threw one end of the - line into the water and' tied the other. :end to a pile. Four men climbed up | this rope and were saved by this girPs | determination. © Her father rescued i three men. His son Michael rescued | TWo. ; g :

.. The accident happened Eit‘ a place notoricus as the scene of many disasters. It is just outside of Long lsland City, at the southwestern corner of Calvary eemetery, near where the accident occurred on the Long Island railroad last August, when many lives were lost in a railroad collision. ’ o The firm of Dean & Westbrook, of No. 136, Liberty street, this city, were the builders of the temporary bridge and upon them may fall the blame, if upon anyone, unless it is to be upon the unfortunates themselves who were plunged into the creek in the wreck. It is true they had been warhed not to crowd in too great mumbers. upon the structure, but no means were provided to prevent them doing so. The struecture that collapsed was made of wood and was built as a foot bridge for tue use of pedestriaus while the new iron bridge is being built. . ; | For Four New States. - WaAsHINGTON,Jan. 15.—The executive committee of the republican national committee adopted resolations favoring the admission into the union/of Utdh, Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
