Drugged, Robbed and Left for Dead— A Blacksmith Peculiar perience With Thugs—Affected With Loss of Memory. C. Ness, & blacksmith whose shop is on Upper Broadway near the Methodist church, disappeared one day last weck, and now that he has turned up again, he tells a story that avounds in rich possibilities for some ama- teur detective. Ho parted from his wife some time ago, and since then he has been living in & tent near the corner of Auenue C and Eighteenth stroet. He had bought the loton which the tent stands, and until he should be able to build a house was living in the tent Last Thursday, he stat day with some other men riding around the country. At 11 o'clock he was down at the transfer, and that is the last he remembers. Friday night somo of his fricnds be- alarmed at his disappearauce and instituted & search at his tent On tearing up the bourds in the floor they found a hole which haa been mude as & place o store vegetables, and in the bolo was Ness, secarely wrapped up in a lot of old blav and apparently dead. Dr. M. J. Bellinger was summoned and the supposed dead man was given s hypodermic injection of some- thing futended to rouse him from his leth- argy and in a few minutes Ness sat up and looked about bim fn a dazed sort of wa; It was fully thirty minutes before he could comprehend anything that was said to him, or could make an_intelligent answer to any ostion. When at last he regaied con- husness ho told the above sto ubout him- self, but he could not remember who the men wero thut ho was with when he fell asleep. He also said that he had been intending to make a payment on s lot and had a large amount of money in his pocket, but on feel- ing in his pocket on waking up be found that the whole amouut, together with his watch and chain, was missing. The theory of those acquainted with the case is that Ness was drugged by the fellov th whom he claims to have been out riding Thursday and that he was then thrown into the hole under bis tent after his valuables had been taken from his pockets. It is thought that when ho fully recovers from the effects of the drugs 0ssibl,” ho will be ablo to remember whom 0 was with beforo he was robbed, but until that time the affair is a complete mystery.

The Sabbath stilluess yesterday morning was broken by a little scrap which took place in front of the Hotel Gordon on Broad- way. The combatants were Nick Molitor, who tends bar at the Gordon, William Ma- loney and Dan Graham, who keep the “Of- fice” next door, and & traveling man from Kansas City, who preferred to have his identity unknown. Until receatly Molitor has been tending bar for Maloney, and when he quit there was a dispute about the amount of wagas due him, which ended in his suing Malouey for the amount in question. The lawsuit made Maloney mad, and yestorday morning, so the story goes, he detcrmined to have some of young Molitor's gore. He caught Molitor in front of the hotel and commenced to administer a severe drubbing to him, while Graham stood in the back- ground prepared 1 offer any assistance that might be needed. The Kansas City man pro- tested in behalf of Molitor aud was told to keep his finger out of the pie. He refused to do so, however, and the fight from that time on was betieon Maloney and the traveling mau. They fought, bit and scratched until they both reached the opposite side of Broad- way. There the traveling man sought retugo behind a lamp post, while from either side he sent out his fists in search of Maloney’s nose. Maloney saw that he must have some assist- anco, 5o he yolled to Graham, Graham ran to the rescue, aud between them they made the traveling man flee ingloriously. Molitor was found after the fight was over narsing a nose that was nearly twice its nor- mal s1ze, and with several teeth just ready to drop out. Both he and the traveling man filed informations against Maloney and Gra- hum charging then: with assault and battery, and they threaten to make things lively for the pugnacious soloonists.

Three toughs who were on board whiled away the time by making low romarks in a tone of voice loud enough so as t0 be heard by a lady and her little givl, who sat not far away.

The young man knocked them both down and sat on thew, whilo the conductor, who had stopped his car, hugged himself to'think he was out of it.' The young man then climbed on board the motor and pounded the third tough, completing the job by throwing him bodily off the rear platform. In the meles the young man who acted as tho hero of the oceasion received a blow on the head that subsequently swelled to the size of a goose ogg, but otlierwise he was unnurt. He re- fused to give his name, as he did not care to got u reputation as a slugger. Another Balloo Arrangements have which Prof. W.

Dr. Hall departed from his usual course of breaking the bread of life to his hearers yesterday morning and invited them to partake of a juicy, hot roast. The attempt of a portion of the church to organize a movement to secure his displacoment nat- urally aroused some curiosity to hear what he would have to say about it. The curiosity was satisfiea, The First Baptist churcn, of which he 1s pastor, was well filled and ail listen ed eagerly. The services opened with the following prayer: *0, God, Thou seest that wickedness is not restrioted to the world, but that it is mani- fest even in high pluces in the church, Thou knowest that there are in_our midst those who delight in siander, and who are seeking to pull down, instead of building up Zion; Thou knowest how they goabout stealthily in the dark, seeking their victims: how they wina their slimy oodies about the very pul- pit, avd seok to fasten their fangs into the very heart of the church, God forgive them.” And so the prayer went on. Dr. Hall told the Lord what hé thought about the methods of those who were trying to get bim to re- sign. Alter a hymn, appropriate to such an oc- casion, the pastor picked up the biblo and read: “Now I bescech you, breturen, mark them which cause divisions and offenses con- trary to the doctrine which ye have learned, ana”avoid them. For they that are such servo not our Lord Jesus Christ, but thew own belly; and by good words and fair speeches doceive the hearts of the simple.” Then he opened his manuscript and pro- ceeded to instruct his hearers in the necessity of obedience to authority, as one of the es- sentials of any prosperous organization. He pictured slander as one of the greates evils, The gencral principles wera lsid down by the speaker in a manner which at any other time iould have held closely the attention of tne audience, but 1t as evidently the application for which they were waiting. It came. He declared that the church had been cursed from its incipicncy by a faction who are dis- obedient und who “were given to slander. God was still punishing the church becauso it had so shamefully used Rev. Dr. Thickstun, its first pastor. They had driven this worthy man out to live upon bread and water. At the same time tho city showed its estimate of the worth of the man by plac- ing in_his hands $100 in cash and numerous supplies to be distributed by hia among the pooras he saw fit. The city would haraly have given such a trust to any church in the God would never prosper any church vhich would thus abuse His servauts. If God should, Gabriel and the angels would bo justified in redelling against such a God. This church bad driven oit one after another of its pastors. A faction in the church had hounded them and slandered them continually. Dr. Hall said he dido’t propose to be scared away. He had como to do a certain work and by God’s belp he was going to stay and do it. "He was satistied that the discordant, slanderous element was in the minority, He detailed numerous incidents to show the meanness of the opposition. Two of the ofticers of the church, Who ought to be out collecting money to pay the pastor, were running tno streeis, lying about him and working up a movement to_ throw him out. There wece 8 number who had joined in this movement who had never been to any of the church ser and never helped the church. They never took any interest in the churcn at any time, excopt when there wus a chance to fight sowie pastor and make a- row. They were like those who sought to kill Christ. They could not tind any fault in Him, but they hated Him because His pure Iifo was a rebuke to their wickedness. They aimed to be tho children of Abraham, but vist told them that they had made a little mistake, aud their fathel’s name was not Abrabam, but the devil. "Thon the pastor sought a public expression of opinion by saying: “All of you who are in favor of such unaer- handea mothods, all who believe in slander- mg o pastor instead of upholding hum, all who believe in supporting such a mean way of doing things, just stand up.” Despite the plea of guilty with which the proposition was freighted, about twenty-five or thirty sprung to their feot. “Look at them. They are the ones who are dotermined to support slandering and un- derhanded methods. No church can_prosper which will keep such members. Now all who do not believe in underhanded methods and unfair treatment will please rise —citizens and all, whether members of the church or not—rise ! A hundred people stood up. This show of a majority seemead to please the pastor, who aguin crowed that the discordant element did not express the views of the church itself. e said he had received a lottor from Rev. Mr. Proper, uow at Seattle, who nad reorganized the church hera after a disastrous break-up. He quoted Mr. Proper as staung that he uever bhad such u hard job. In regard 0 two members who are now seoking to get Mr. Hall removed, Mr. Proper said they were excluded from the church years ago, aud he did not know how they managed to get back iu again, but “if the undertaker and bis wife do not behave themselves, put them out.” After some further comment of like nature iev. Mr. Hall prepared to close the service, if such it could be called, when upjumped @ young man—Frank Compton and asked: the privilege of making an ex- planation or statement. He was evidently one of the opposition, for Mr. Hall speedily made him sit down, sayiug, *1 am runuing this service. I am the moderator of this meeting, und you caunot speak. Any geutleman desiring 1o make an aunouncement would bhave the courtesy to speak to me privately, and let me know what be wanted to say, instead of jumping up in this manuer.”” Then up jumped another member, evidently one of the opposition, and with flashiog eye and fushed check declared: *'I think we are eutitled to fair play at least.” Phat will do, sir,” said the be subsided.

As far ss the public is con- cerned the monsignor has been dead for about five years, but in reality such is not the case. Nor would any one suspect as much should he drop into the luzu- rious] furnished home on the Arno ranch, some twenty-five miles southenst of Sacramento, Cal., and there see a man who looks every day of 65, of a rather ftout figure, and with a face much bloated and bearing every evidence of a life anything dut abstemiou But that personage would be C: \;nl not the man so grandly ct teri Mgr. eshby in Lord Dis th * but an individual as mlvll\ 4\1f~ forent ns the characters of Jekyll and Hyde.
