Nevada, Cal., Oct. 2. Marion A F. Muller, also known to criminal hunters by several other names, who escaped fcom , the county jail at Truckee some time T uesday night, has not yet been captured. He made his escape by sawing two of the bars ot his cell with an ordina ry caseknife. J - The prisoner was arrested last week on a charge of forgery. At the preliminary hearing Monday he was bound over to appear in the superior court for trial. The forg ery was committed at Summit on Tuesday night of last week. Mul ler seemed the pocket book of a sec tion hand named A. F. Miller. A check was contained in it and Mul ler made it fit his own name bv pencil strokes. After signing it he had it cashed. - : r ' Muller was confined in a cell with James Creegan, the noto rious forger who was with Becker, the "prince of forgers," in the fam ous Crocker-Woolworth bank forg ery . Creegan was too big to get through the opening through which Muller escaped He will, be kept to answer for forgeries committed in Winnemucca,' Nev.. Muller was to have been brought to Neva da City and lodged in the county jail pending his trial, and McCree- gan was to have gone with him for safe keeping. V Portland. Oct. 4 Jumniner 'stark naked from a window of the St. Vincent's hospital. John Peterson. temnorarilv insane, tried to enter a number of houses in North Port land, earl v vesrerdav morninc and ' . - " " O ' in doing so scared a dozen people almost out df their senses. When he lpaned - frnm ttia Vik first-story window, Peterson fell face downward upon sharp rocks and cut a deep ga9h in his temple. I With blood streaming from this wound, his ghastly appearance and his naked condition were enough to frighten any man of ordinary brave ry into a- faint. After the police-1 man of the North Portland beats had been upon his trail for nearlv an hour, he was captured in the terminal grounds, over a mile away from the hospital. . i Tim J. -Concannon, the grocer of Thurman street,' got the) worst scare. Hearing a noise in the store part of bis'building, he investigated. - Op ening a door leading into the store! he wa9 almost knocked down by the naked form of Peterson, who, yelling loudly, rushed at him and out into the night. ;Mr. Concaonoh could hardly be lieve his senses, but be recovered sufficiently to telephone, to the po lice station. The message of Mr. Coocannon that an insane burglar, stripped of all .clothing, had broken into his store on Tburman near Twenty-foarth came , close upon other messages from persons all the way from Johnson street to Thur man. Sometimes it was simply a crazy man who fled past the pedes trian, again it was a-daring burglar, who tried to enter buildings, partic ularly residences. The patrol wagon, with Driver Isaacs and Sergeant Hogaboom, went out to bring in the insane maq when he should be captured. AH the patrolmen of the Nortfi Portland beats were on the lookout, bat Peterson, io deadly fear of the spirits who he said were trying to kill him at the hospital, was on the run constantly. . A few minutes after be made the hair of Mr. Concannon rise upon his scalp, Peterson appeared before the firemen of the Pintsch sas works in the terminal yards. Out of the night there bad come an sp parition which made the men think they bad encountered a devil fresh from Hades. ! "Gimme a shirt and a pair of socks," demanded Peterson. ! Seeing that he was insane, the fireman made no delay in stripping off his own shirt and handing it of er to Peterson. He was too ecar e4 to raise a protest. The patrol wagon following upon the wandering trail of Peterson came upon him in the gas works. He was speedily placed in the wag oil and taken to the station, where the hospital attendant, already a ware that Peterson had escaped, was notified to corns and get him if there was a cell where he could be safely confined. With his wound fctill bleeding, and dressed in a shirt and socks borrowed perforce, - arid an old pair of trousers " picked up 4 the way, Peterson went back to thff'evil spirits in thehospifal He was suffsring'from a fever and. had become temporarily insane. . New York, Oct. 3. Mrs. John Beam, of Mitchellsville, New York, 65 years old, has - given birth to twins. Her daughter, who lived in the neighboring township, pre sented her husband with twins a bout the same hour. Before con gratulations were finished . Mrs. Beam's granddaughter sent word that ehe had just become the moth er of two healthy children. Boise, Ida., Oct. 2. According to returns received in New York by General J. L. Weaver, the -dredge be has constructed near Grand View, on the Snake River, saves $23.58 from each yard. He made a trial run. and took the malgams from 54 yards to New York, where be bad it retorted and apalyzed He writes that be . got a return showing the saving to have' been $7.35 jn gold a yard, $1.30 in silver and $14.93 in platinum, a total of 23.58, The dredge is what is known, as the Bennett Pattern, de signed on the theory that the grav els are filled with gold in the form of impalpable powder. In passing through the machine the gold has about 60 opportunities to come in to contact with plates covered with quicksilver. Panning tests show about 3o cents a yard ' in these gravels. The figures of this clean-up from the amalgamator-have caused some excitement among those interested, but most mining men are confident that some mistake has been made. Guthrie, O. T.. Oct. x.

The body was found byiher father within an hour after the nfurdenl covered with grass and weeds. The people are so aroused that th3 boys may be lynched. - - . OHIO MOB IS FOILED THREE MEN CAUSE RIOT AND NARROWLY ESCAPE LYNCHING. Officer and Two of the Offenders Fatally Shot Spiveye Stir Up the Town One of the Spiveys Hanged Three Times. Oxford, 0., Oct. 2. Five men were seriously injured and one nar rowly escaped lynching several times as the res alt of last evening's riot at thi? place. a Three brothers by the name of Spivey were visiting Edward Rich ardson, of Billings ville, Ind., just across the state line from Oxford. The three came to attend the annu al street fair and farmers' exposi tion. The .town was filled with strangers when these three men be gan carousing in a saloon. iney pulled their revolvers on the bar tender, who ejected them, and they proceeded to raise more trouble in ! other saloons. When Marshal Wood- roof undertook to arrest them he was mortally shot. A fusillade of shots at the crowd followed. Dep uty Marshal Manrod was ehot twice when he took the place of his chief. During this fusillade in the street, Ernest Jotten, while returning from his school to his boarding house, was struck in the abdomen by ax stray bullet, and he . is now in a critical condition. After the shooting the three men ran in different directions, with crowds after each, and each was hit in the head by stones thrown by thosa pursuing the?m. Louis Spivey was shot by a citizen. The excite ment was intense when the three men were finally lodged in jail af ter running a mile from the ecene of the shooting. 1 The crowns tnat naa Deen pur suing the three men in different di rections finally concentrated about tire jail and battered down the doors and took Joseph Spivey out to lynch him. There possibly never was such an experience of any one as hi9 in the hands of a mob. He was hauled from place to place with a rope about bis neck and swung up three different timeB, and yet es caped with his life. In their haste the mob did not pinion his arms or his lege, and he managed to use them so as to prevent strangulation the first time he was hung. Anoth er time he was let down so that he might write a farewell letter to his wife and children, and at another time some one cut the rope. Be fore the mob finally succeeded in hanging him until dead the officers grabbed him and rushed him off to the city prison, where the mob was held at bay for some time, and fin ally order was secured enough for speeches to be made by Mayor Flan nigan. Rev. Thomas J, Potter and the brother of Marshall Woodruff. While the speeches were being de livered the officers . spirited the Spivey boys into the cellar of the jail and thence out through a coal chute and made their escape with them to the Butler county jail at Hamilton, O., a distance of 15 miles. The mob finding then it bad been beaten, dispersed, and the village was quiet during the latter part of the night. This village with its three large institutions of learning, is noted for its culture and order, but it was the scene over a year ago of the lynch ing of Henry Corber, a negro, for the murder of Mrs, Horner, and a striking feature of the attempted lynching last night was the part taken by the negroes, who protest ed every time the rope was slacken ed and Joseph Spivey was let down to say his prayers, write to his wife and children or for any other pur pose of mercy. Some of the negross raised quite a disturbance while proclaiming that if the man had been a negro he would surely have been lynched in the first place with out any one giving heed to his ap peals. .- ' - -v The mob was without a leader at any time, .but still it would not have been foiled but for the appeals of Woodruff's brothers to let the law take its course. - The physicians attending the Spivey brothers, two of the five men injured in the riot last evening repoit both today in a serious . con dition. . Jj-juis, who was shotby citizens who were assisting the of ficers, is in such a serious conditiotr that the physicians cannot probe any further for the bullet. Joseph Spivey, who may recover, presents; a horrible appearance. Both ears are torn and his neck is raw and swoiien irom me endois 01 tne rope,, while his face is also disfigured. His most serious injury is a scalp wound' which was caused by being: hit with a stone. Hamilton, Ohio, Oct. 2. The Spivey bi others who are in jail here, confessed today that they bad been m shooting scrapes before, having served terms in the peniten tiary at Frankfort for shooting to kill. They ascribe the whole troub- .le at Oxford to their drinking. Joseph Spivey when asked today for his nearest of kin, replied that Deputy bhenn Brannon was his best friend. Brannon is the officer whn hrnlrA ' tfirmicrVi tha nmmA ont cut the rope the last time Spivey was strung up last night. Deputy Brannon is highly commended for his bravery and Judgment in pre venting lynching. Newi Orleans, Oot, 3.
