and some years ago he fled to
Sweden to escape the consequences
of some act of his. Sympathizers
in Sweden became convinced that
lie was giving the government in-
formation and he was forced out of
the country. From there he went
to Chicago ans soon fell under the
spell of Most’s influence. He stud-
ied Most’s hooks on the art of mak-
ing dynamite bombs, and to him is
given the credit of manufacturing
the bombs thrown at the Ifay-
market. Most’s teachings made
him a fanatic. This same Most,
though, is the biggest coward of
the whole lot.”
The anarchists did not stir them-
selves yesterday to avenge the
deaths of their Chicago brethren.
The police were on reserve all day,
but not once were their services
needed. At the various rendez-
vous of the men only a few were
seen, and they kept unusually
quiet. Jersey City anarchists de-
cided by vote not to hold a mock
funeral. The Newark authorities
are taking steps to revoke the
licenses of all saloons where an-
archists are allowed to meet and
air their views.
Mexican Bandits.
Buownvillk, Tex., Nov. 15.-
At Matamoros, on Saturday, an un-
known man, mounted on a gray
horse, was slushing about the
Ebeoo station, on the Matamoros
and Monterey railroad. lie fired
his carbine off, and the bullet pass-
ed through the sides of a house and
shot Josie Rocha, who was within,
through both thighs. The unknown
carbinist then put spurs to his ani-
mal and escaped Miss Rpcha was
brought to town on the Saturday
evening train and taken to the
hospital.
A woman living near the hospi-
tal recently murdered and buried
her infant child. The remains
were searched for and recovered
this afternoon by the police.
Yesterday Adolfo Deleandro de
los Reyes, alias Filon Chico, and
Gertrudes Carrazlis, all noted ban
dits, charged with the abduction of
Barrera,* were brought in and
living in this city under the name
of Manuel Cantu. There is no
doubt of the complicity of Mariano
in the Barrera affair. He is be-
sides wanted in Texas for various
crimes.
AtCamargo, two or three days
ago, an attempt was made to mur-
der Captain Lamadnd, the brave
officer who is giving the bandits so
Much trouble. As he went to his
room a man sprang at him, knife
in hand, but Lamadrid knocked
him down and secured him, send-
him to jail.
Shooting at Laredo.
Laredo, Tex., Nov. 15.—About
three years ago a man in New
Laredo named Artura Dufu be-
came involved in a quarrel with a
man named Perez and shot him in
the mouth, for which he was sen-
tenced to three years in the Guer-
rero penitentiary. On departing
lor his place of confinement he left
a pretty wife or mistress, and du-
ring his absence she was not true
to him, having become criminally
intimate vith one M. Cereda.
Dufu returned to New Laredo
about a week ago and threatened
vengence upon Cereda. At 3:80
yesterday evening he met the lat-
ter near the railroad track in the
southern portion of the city, and
after a few words exchanged be-
tween them, drew a forty-four cali-
bre revolver and shot him through
and througn, Just above the hips,
the ball piercing both his sides.
The wounded man drew a knife
and endeavored to catch his as-
sailant, chasing him a short dis-
tance when he fell fainting in the
street. The police came running
down the street and seeing the fu*
gitive with his six-shooter in "his
hand, captured him, and following
on the back trail soon discovered
Cereda in the street. The wound-
ed man was carried up to .the bus-
iness part of the city, where his
wounds were dressed, but physi-
cians express little hope for his re-
covery. Dufu was placed in the
city jail, beyond all possible chance
of escape. After Cereda was made
comfortable he gasped out the
story of how he was shot and the
cause thereof.
They Deserve a Rope.
Clarksville, Mo., Nov. 16.—
The neighborhood of Salem church,
five miles south of this city, was
visited last night about9 o’clock by
a couple of scoundrels, who created
quite a furor by their cool and per-
sistent villiany. Mrs. William
Beachamp, who had been to
Paynesville, while returning in a*
buggy, was attacked by two men, .
dragged from the buggy and an at-
tempted assault made. Her
screams attracted the attention of
people living near who came to her
relief. The scoundrels proceeded
to the house of Mr. Bryant, where
they broke into the house and at-
tempted to get into a room occu-
pied by Mrs. Stigleman. She
slammed the door in their faces,
and her cries called in the family.
The villains escaped. The neigh-
borhood had in the meantime been
aroused, and shortly 100 determin-’
ed men were scouring the country
in search of the villains. Mrs.
Beachamp was able to give a good
description of them. Armed men
have been coming and going
through town all day long. The
most intense excitement exists,
and lynching is threatened in the
event of capture.

A Sensational Sermon.
Newark N. J., Nov. 16.—A
meeting of the Russian Progressive
society was held at the headquar-
ters of the anarchists, 93 Mercer
street, this afternoon. The
speeches were of an inflammatory
nature and delivered in Polish He-
brew. Police Captain Glort, of the
Fourth precinct, complained of
Willin8, the proprietor of the hall,
for keeping a disorderly house, aud
the warrant will be served in the
morning.
The Rev. Hugh O. Pentecost
preached to a crowded Church to-
night on “Four men murdered in
Chicago; what does it signify?”
He claimed that the men were
barbarians and were executed
barbarians.
