o~ 3 A THE RIOT AT PITKIN Partionlars of the Mob Which Burned the Dance-Houso of Briggs. Guanison News Democrat A shooting epidemic secis to have taked possession of the people of Gun- nison county. Gunnison lead off and was quickly followed ly Ruby, Trwin and Crested Batte, and now Pitkin comes to the front. The particulars of a shooting affaiv which took place there recently were learned yesterday from parties just arvived from that place, and were as follows It seems that a man named Che Briggs has been running a dance-l in Pitkin for some time. The place has been the terror of all good citi zens of the town, as it was made a rendezvous for the very worst charac- ters in town, Men have been in- veigled into the place and, after get ting filled with liquor, have been robbed and beaten almost to death, after which the proprietor would piteh them out door Betwed and 3 o'clock last Sunday morning a miner named Walter Kelly, an old-timer in the San Juan country, entered the hall. He had in his pos- session at the time about ten dotlars in eash and one hundred and forty dcl lars in checks, An hour or two later he was set upon by one “Tex” and beaten. After this the proprietor, riges, took a hand in and also hima beating, and then threw him out doors minus his cash, checks and coat. Kelly was cut and bruised in a most brutal manner, In the morning Kelly sought Mar- shal F. T. Nis| id requested his as- sistance in recovering the money and coat. The Marshal went with him to the dance hall and saw Briggs, but the latter denied knowing anything about Kelly or his affairs. Since the shoot- ing, however, a woman named Addie who has been living with s she saw “‘Tex” attack the coat and went through the pock- ets, after which he pitched Kelly out of doors and his coat after him. Kelly appeared on the streets on Sunduy with his face and body cut and bruised in a most shocking wan- ner. A lar, e number of miners came to town, and as many of them were fricnds of Kelly they determined to assist him in the recovery of his prop- erty. A party of them went to the dance hall about 9 o'clock Sunday night and demanded that Briggs pro- duce the checks or refund the amount in money. This he r d to do and someangry words followed. At this Brigg tried to draw lis wun, when two shots were fired at hini. One of these entered the arn near the shoulder and passed out at the back near the point of the shoulder blade. The other struck him in the abdomen and, passing through, lodged just un- der the skin near the back-bone. After being shot he escaped through the rear door, and climbed the moun- tain to Armstrong gulch, a distance of seven miles, where he took refuge in the cabin of a miner named Tke Barrett. . Barrett at once started to town to notify the officers and summon a phy- sician. Dr. Vance, the Mayor of the town attended the wounded man, and extracted the ball from his back, but expressed the opinion that he could not live. He was alive, however, when parties left there yesterday morning, though his death was looked for at any moment. As soon as the shots were heard a crowd numbering fully two hundred or more quickly gathered, and the officers were unable to determine how large the original party was or just who were in it. After Briggs escaped the crowd set fire to the building, but_the flames were extinguished by the Marshal. A second attempt made Dy the mob, and this time, the offic back by the crowd, the place was soon redueed to a heap of ashe Briggs is given a very wed name by d, while all suess that took that both 5 and his place have met the fate y s0 long and so justly merited. Later reports from Pitkin state that the mob led by & prominent law- yer, politician and editor; and that the liquor was removed from the dance hall before the building was fired, and afterwards drank by the mob. When they became intoxicated threats wero made against the office of another editor, and also against the person of a prominentattorney, These latter being notified, made prepara- tions to repel any attack that might be made, but nothing was done by the mob. Special police were sworn in yesterday, as it 18 thought therc may be trouble yet. g It is now said that the identity of the men who shot Briggs is dcfinitely known, and, as soon as the latter's dying statement can be taken, the arty will be placed under arrest. What the outcome will bs remains to be seen. ‘Waestern Musical Criticism. The editor of a mining camp news- paper went to Denver to hear Emma Abbot sing, and in a lengthy review of the opera, says: ‘‘as a singer she can just wallop the hose oft anything that over wagged a jaw on the boards, From her clear, bird-like upper notes she would counter away down on the bass racket and then cushion back to a sort of spiritual treble which made every man in the audience imagine every hair on his head was the golden string of a celestinl hard over which angelic fingers were¥sweeping in the inspiring old tune of ‘Sally put the kettle on.’ Here she would rost awhile, trilling like an enchanted bird, and thenhop in among the upper notes ain with a git-up-and.-git vivacity that jingled the glass pendants on the chandeliers and elicited a whoop of leasure from every galoot in the mob. Yn the last act she made a neat play and worked in that famous kiss of hers on Castle. He had her in his arms, with her head lymg on his shoulder and her eyes shooting red-hot stroaks of galvanized love right into his. All at onco her lips began to twitch coaxingly and get into position, and when he tumbled to her racket he drawed her up easy like, shut his | eyes, and then her ripe, luscious lips glued themselves to his and a thrill of pleasure nabbed hold of him and shook him till the audience could al wost hear his toe-nails grind against his boots. Then she shut her eyes and pushed harder and—oh, Moley Hoses !~ the smack that followed s being held | started the stitching in every mascu line heart in the house. She's a thoroughbred right from the start, and t ellow tukes in ler kisses is more to be envied than the haughtiest monarch that ever squatted down on v golden-plated throne. John Muir as an Eccentric Student. | Oconomowoe (Wis.) Local [ ity years | few students at the University of Wis |eomsin. - But among those new stu- dents were many who have since made a name in their various lines of work. Among them_ eame a now John Muir, the naturalist. Where he came from T do not know He was of Scotch parentage, studious, industriaus, inclined to have but few companions, yot social; was a lover of quiet fun and long rambles in the country, and, like many others who had their y to make, cooked his fragal meals in his voom. 1n all these , he was not singular; his re- markable teait was hus love for practi- cal mechanies and invention. He seemed to need few tools; an axe, saw, jack-knife and gimlet were his chief weapons, while alinost anything served as materal. His clock served as a centre about which several of his most interesting ma chines clustered. This was in the form of a seythe and snath, hung in an old, garled burr-oak grub, where Father Time is supposed to have left it. The scythe was split lengthwise, and in the opening thus formed, was a train of wheels constituting the works, The motor was a heavy stone, concealed under the roots and moss, from which the clock rose on the table. The year, month, day, lour, minute and second were indicated by index arrows on the various paper dials. The pendulum was also an ar- row with a hi copper point. His study-desk provided with a spring trap-door, under which moved a rack upon which his hooks were sct up separately on their backs. Ho ar- ranged his study hcurs for each les- son, and connected the machinery of his desk to the clock, so that at the appointed moment the trap door opened, dropped the book into its rack, moved this along, threw up the next book and closed the trap under it. His bed was a machine utterly destructive to the ‘‘little more sleep” of the sluggard. It was hung on a pivot and supported at such a height that when turned up it stood nearly perpendicularly, foot down. The foot was held up by a lever, Beside the bed was the lamp stand, on which the fluid lamp, then in use, was placed at night. o this bed the clock was connected and then set for rising. Tu the niorning the hine took off thc cxtinguisher, struck a match, lighted the lamp, and then withdrew the levar, letting the bed down and bringing its occupant out on Ius feet. 1 have known him to satisfy the curiosity of tors by putting them into the bed wrong end to, and so bring them out head down. In sumumer time he connected this bed to the east winaow by a linen thread, A sun-glass was 80 adjusted as to burn off this thread when the sun came to the right position. Judge Griswold and myself roomed opposite him and he arranged signals by which we were often cailed in to see a bit of fun, in particular, with his *‘loafer chair.” As soon as the supposed loafer, but real victim, leaned back, he pressed a concealed spring, which fired an old pistol, di- rectly under the seat. The wonder- ful leaps of the victims were worth seemg. Nor did John forget the la- dies, who sometimes came to see his there were hut machines. Out of a rasin, a huge, vicions-looking black spider was made, which was so suspended as to drop just before the fair visitor when she was well seated in his best chair, It was delicious to hear them scream. John Muir taught school near Madi- son one winter, where his clock built | his fire for him every morning., It/ only remains tosay that he now 1 the reputation of knowing aore o Yosemite Valley and the Neva mountains than any other man living. Electricity and Wire Fence. Hon, C Narkson: From reading your valuable paper I see that a new difficulty has arisen in the use of wire for fencing purposes. 1t appears that many cattle in different portions of the State have been killed by light- ning, and that in numerous instauces the wire fence seems to bo toblame, There can be no doubt that a discharge of lightening in the neighborhood of a wire fence would frequently result in at least a portion of the discharge following the fenca wire, and in some cases it might follow it a great distance produce serious effects on a herd of cattle near the fenca. I see that it has beon already suggested as a remedy torun a wire frequently from thewircs to the earth. If properly done, this would remedy the evil. Butthe fact is that few people have a proper notion of what a “*ground wire''is in an elec trical sense, Such a wire simply run into dry earth a few inches would seldom answer, A good “ground wire' should go to permanently moist earth and then have considerable surface, more than that of the wire in contact with earth. Few people, I take it, would be likely to take such pains, 1 have a suggestion which would in al- mostall cases remedy the matter. Let an iron fencepost be used instead of a wooden one, say, every one or two hundred yards. ~ Iron fence-posts THl OMAHA DAILY BE% TUFE Swindled by Spiritualists, Now York Special to the Globe-Democrat Mua. Upham, widow of Prof. Thos. Upham, of Bowdoin college, came to this city to live about four years ago, Sho was then well advanced in years, and had Decome a convert to the doctrine of spiritualism, Among persons of the same faith with whom she became acquainted was Miss Mary A, Ward, an unmarried woman, of middle-age, whose father at that time ing in Nownr won Mrs, Uph a_physician, practic SJ. Miss Ward m's confidence, and queer gonius, | learned that the old lady was owner of bank stocks worth about £14,000. Tn April, 1878, sho introduced to Mrs. Upham the Rev. John A, Lansing, a spiritunlist brother, who had been a Methodist clergyman in Massa chusetts, Mrs, Uplham was much im pressed by the conversation and bear- ing of the minister, and her admira- tion of him was increased by the praise of Miss Ward, Mr. Lansing told Mrs, Upham that e was inter ested in the Jacques Cologno Manu- facturing company and was making a great deal of moneyout of it, although he had not allowed his name to be published in connection ith the business. He said he had in vested the property of many widows and orphans in the businessso that they are able to realize handsome sums, At this suggestion Mrs, Up- ham gave Lansing in trust the $14,- 000 in bank stocks which she owned. She took in exchange a receipt signed by hoth Miss Ward and Mr. Lansing. She was promised that she would re- ceive an annual cent.,, to be monthly. per paid For sceveral months she re- ceived the installments promised; then she was told that there had heen an unexpected failure ot the concern and payments ceased, Mrs. Upham employed a man named Williams to look after her interests, but Williams did nothing for her, She trusted to the power of spiitualism for many months, but her lost money did not return. It was not until about six weeks ago that she made a step in the right direction by consulting a reputable lawyer, Her counsel immediately secured the as- sistance of District Attorncy Rollins and Police Inspector Byrnes. Both officials interested themsclves in the casc. The district attorney secured the indictment of Lansing and Miss Ward, and gave the inspector warrants for their arrest. Inspector Byrnes learned that Miss Ward had been preaching at Ocean Grove during the summer, and that she had afterward gone to the home of her father at Waverly, N. J. He also learned that Lansing was preaching in Brookline, Mass. He procured from Governor Cornell the necessary requisition papers carly in the present week, and on Wednesday he took measures to arrest both swind- lers. Detcctive Richard O’Connor was sent to Broodline and Detective Richard Fields was sent to Waverly. Detective Fields arrested Miss Warl at her father's house on Thursday, and brought her to this city the same evening. She was locked up at po- lice headquarters all night. To-day she was taken before the district at- torney and held for trial. A Pearl street merchant became her bondsman in $25,000. Before sho left the dis- trict atiorney’s office the papers in a il suit for $25,000 were served on her by Mrs. Upham's counsel. Detec- tive O’Connor returned from Brookline to-night, bringing Lausing with him. the minister arrived at police head- quarters about 10 o'clock, and was locked up. He will be taken to the district attorney's oftice to-morrow. The following is a portion of the let- ter which Lansing wrote to Mrs. Up- ham in January, 1879, in answer to her request for the return of her bonds. I cannot meet with your demands to-night. The plans and arrange- ments were all made in God and I can only move as He commands, Can you ot follow the d of God as it came to you first/ You know the word to be of God now as you did then—follow it as you did then, The pape s are all drawn in God, and are at his dis- e posal.

Laramie Boomerang. “Would you like to buy that Har- per's Magazine?” asked the soft-voiced and timid peanut on the cast bound Union Pacitic train the other day to a middle-aged passenger who was look- ingoverthe October Harper's and read- ing Judge Goodwin's article on the Mormon situatio “No,” said the middle-aged party. ““Tt is my own magazine and therefore I do not care to buy it."” “Excuse me,” said the poor, little frightened peanutter, while the tears came mto his eyes, ‘‘Ifear you want to cheat a poor orphan boy out of his books. Please pay me, sir, or let me have the magazine back again. Ah, can now,be had, I thiuk, in the mar- ket. Such a post should go down twenty inches or two feet in the earth, It will present probably a square foot of surface to the earth, and in most cases would make a good ‘*‘ground.” T will say that in a very dry time even such a post would carry away every discharge of lightening, but,, fortu- nately thunder sborms are not com- mon in a dry time. I do not think a violent] discharge would pass many such posts, and it seems to me to present the most practicable solution of the difficulty. These iron posts should be used especially in wet places, and near the stock-yards where the tield fence joins the stock- fence soveral should bo placed and driven down well into the ground, Very respectfully yours, J.
