Tho programmo was not carried out, however, as MeLaughlin was too cunning to brave the an- gor of tho crowd by putting in an appearance. Actor tho pooplo had disporsed for thoir Lomes, & roportor for this paper entered MeLaughlin'a saloon (not without considerablo bodily fear and virtuous trepidation), and there obsorved a largo card on which was serawled, “No liquors sold ovar this bar” Tho roportor know very well that tho kconso under which tho dlsreputable placo did business hind been rovoked by the Mayor ; but, in ordor to nscertain what the pro- priotor intonded to do undor the discouraging circumstances, ho foigned surpriso at the an- nouncement that the genial and athlotic *¢ Mno' bad rotired from the whisky business, in which ho had gained so much doserved honor and profit.

It appears, howevor, that tho funoral obso- quies which McLaughlin was go hurriedly sum- moned to attond wero not occasioned by the do- miso of his boloved sister, or any othor human being. In order. to escapo impouding punigh- mont at the hands of his fellow-citizens, ha and & boon companion organized & private hunting party of two, nnd repaired to the village of ‘Whiting, o station on the Lako Shoro & Michi- an Southern Railrond, about thirty miles from BRacity: Thoy romainci therodusing Wednesday, and in'the ovoning took tho train which arrives in tho clty at 9:20, anticipating that the lynching oxcitoment would have dgml out by tho time the; reached tha depot.
