DASTARDLY OUTRAGE ON AD

CARRIED OFF BT MASKED RUFFIANS.

Hpringa Itatel at Midnight uud
-Seized by Seven Masked Men—
•Found Twelve Hours After

Rent the Scene.
'Colodado "Spniuos, Cdl., June 25.—
.Adjutant General ' Tarsney of this
-state, said to be a broter of Congress
man Tarsney-of Missouri and ex-Con
pressman Tarsney of Michigan, was i
kidnaped from the Alamo hotel a few j
minutes after midnight this morning
•by masked men, supposed to be ex- '
deputy sheriffs, taken to the suburbs '
■in a liack and there tarred and feath- \
•ered. The outrage was the direct re- j
..suit of .the seccnt Cripple Creek
miners’ war.
When police officers arrived General ;
'Tarsney-could not be found and up to >
.noon to-day he -had not been heard '
.from. .About .1 ovcloclc, however, he
was found .at 'Palmer Lake, twenty
five miles away.
Genecal Tarsney had been in the
•city several days attending the exam
ination of the arrested Bull HiU !
miners, for whom he and Colonel B.
P. Vontgomery of Cripple Creek, ap
pearedas. attorneys. ,
■ OVERPOWERED .IN A HOTEL OFFICE. j
At five minutes.past 12 o'clock a call !
came over .the telephone of the Alamo
hotel f«r Tarsney. The clerk sent i
the night porter, the odly other man !
in the hotel office, to call him. He '
.appeared in a very .few minutes and j
stepped up to the 'phone. He had
hardly spoken a word into the re- j
..ceiver, when two men, with masks on .
their faces, entered and one advanced j
on Tarsney while .the other remained :
tnear the door.
“We want .you,” said the first
masked man,.as the general turned
-on hearing footsteps.
“What do you want?” quietly asked
Tarsney.
“We want you to come with us,”
was the reply.
“But I don’t .want to go anywhere,"
■returned Tarsney, at .the same time
making an effort to retreat.
At this the masked man lunged for
ward, pistol in hand and struck
.General Tarsney a vicious blow with
the weapon while the masked man
■near the door advamc^l to his com
panion’s assistance. Tarsney stag
gered toward the office .counter, but
was ruthlessly seised by the two
masked men and htuxiad toward the
street.
The clerk did not interfere. He
had been warned to keep his hands off
by a third masked man who had sud
denly appeared at the door.
In front of the hotel ttwo hacks
were standing and four other masked
men were seen there. The general
was hustled into one of the .vehicles,
the masked men scrambled In, the
drivers were ordered to be off, and up
the street the party moved at * galop.
In fifteen minutes Police Captain
Gaithright and Officers Harlaed and
Henry were 'On horses and riding
furiously in the direction taken by
the kidnapers and their victim. The
officers had a poor trail to follow for
it was pitch-dark and they only knew
the masked party had gone out of
town to the north and they did not
arrive on the scene in time.
QUICKLY TARRED AND FEATHERED.
The drivers of the two hacks first
brought the news to town. It was
that the masked men had taken their
victim to a point near Austin Bluffs
between two and three miles out of
town and covered him over with tar
and feathers.
Sherman Crumley, one of the
drivers, told the following story:
“My brother and I own the hacks.
Shortly before midnight, tvro men
came to our stand and said they
wanted to engage two hacks for a
drive. They did not wear masks then.
They told me to drive in front of the
Alamo. 1 saw the struggle inside the
hotel office and knowing that some
thing unusual' was up 1 started to
drive away, but was stopped by men
with masks on their faces and pistols
in their hands. After they all got in
the hack, I was told where to drive to
for the first time. They compelled
me to whip the horses. On
arriving at a point near Austin Bluffs
they all got out They made an aw
ful lot of noise and kept on swearing
and making threats. Several times
on the way out I heard them threaten
Tarsney’s life. I think they had
Tarsney's clothes off by the time they
ordered the hack stopped, at least I
did not see many clothes on him
when I first saw him on the ground.
They had a bucket and a brush, and
the deed was so on done.”
A few minutes later Tarsney? was
left lying on the ground and the
masked men re-entered the carriages
and were driven to the Rock Island
tracks. There they dismissed their
drivers, not paying them but simply
saying, “Good night, Johnny.” ,
ORDERED OUT OF THE COUNTRY.
Driver Crumley says that after the
tar and feathers had been applied,
Tarsney was told to move on out of
El Paso county; that he was not
wanted either in Cripple Creek or Col
orado Springs, and that if he ever
showed np again he would meet a
worse fate than a dose of tar and
feathers.
, There was a meeting of twenty-five
deputy sheriffs at Antler's park at 10
o'clock, and it is believed the plot
against General, Tarsney was hatched
there.
A tremendous mass meeting of citi
zens was held at 10 o’clock, at which
resolutions were adopted denouncing
the outrage in the strongest lan
guage.
Sherman Crumley and Jean McKin
ney, who drove the hacks, have been
placed under arrest
Crumley, who owns both hacks,says
one masked man remained with
Tarsney, ostensibly to show him the
way back to the city. Some of the
men wanted to kill Tarsney, but
their leader held them in check.
Tarsney thanked this man and shook
hands with him.

A KENTUCKY MIRACLE
JUDGE J0H5 M. RICE TELLS DOR
HE WAS CURED OE RHEUMA
TISM.
Crippled for Hi lean With Sciatica la
Its Wont Form—Ho Eipected to
Die. Bat Was Bared In a
Marvelous Manner.
trrom tne Lovingion, ivy.. ru«.
The Hon. John M. Rice, of Louisa,
Lawrence County, Kentucky, haa for
the past two years retired from active
life as Criminal and Circuit Judge of
the Sixteenth Judicial district of Ken*
tucky.
He has for manjP years served his na
tive county and state in the legislature
at Frankfort and at Washington, and,
until his retirement, was a noted figure
in political and judicial circles. The
Judge is well known throughout the
state and possesses the best qualities
which go to make a Kentucky gentle
man honored wherever he is known.
About eix years ago the bodily
troubles which finally caused his retire
ment at a time when his mental facul
ties were in the zenith of their strength,
began their encroachment upon his
naturally strong constitution. A few
days ago a Kentucky Post reporter
called upon Judge Rice, who in the fol
lowing words related the history of the
causes that led to his retirement, “It
is just about six years since I had an
attack of rheumatism, slight at first,
but soon developing into Sciatic rheu
matism, which began first with acute
shooting pains in the hips, gradually
extending downward to my feet.
“My condition became so bad that I
eventually lost all power of my legs, and
then the liver, kidneys and bladder and
in fact, my whole system became de
ranged. 1 tried the treatment of many
physicians, but receiving no lasting
benefit from them, I had recourse to
patent remedies, trying one kind after
another until I believe there were none
I had not sampled.
“In 1888, attended by my son John, I
went to Hot Springs, Ark. I was not
much benefittcd by some months stay
there when 1 returned home. My liver
was actually dead, and a dull persistent
pain in its region kept me on the rack
all the time. -In 18901 was reappointed
Circuit Judge, but it was impossible for
me to give attention to my dutiea In
1891, I went to the Silurian Springs,
Wakeshaw, Wis. I stayed there some
time, but without improvement,
“Again I returned home, this time
feeling no hopes of recovery. The mus
cles of my limbs were now reduced by
atrophy to mere strings Sciatic pains
tortured me terribly, but it was the dis
ordered condition of my liver that was,
I felt, gradually wearing my life away.
Doctors gave me up, all kinds of rem
edies had been tried without avail, and
there was nothing more for me to do
but resign myself to fate
“I lingered on in this condition sus
tained almost entirely by stimulants
until April, 1893. One day John saw
an account of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
for Pale People in the Kentucky Post.
This was something new, and as one
more drug after so many others could
not do so much harm, John prevailed
upon me to try the Pink Pilla It was,
I think, in the first week in May the
pills arrived. I remember I was not
expected to live for more than three or
four days at the time. The effect of the
Pills, however, was marvelous, and I
could soon eat heartily, a thing I had
not done for years The liver began
almost instantaneously to perform its
functions, and has done so ever since.
Without doubt the pills saved my life
and while I do not crave notoriety I
cannot refuse to testify to their worth.
The reporter called upon Mr. Hughes,
the Louisa druggist, who informed him
that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have been
very popular since Judge Rice used
them with such benefit. He mentioned
several who have found relief in their
An analysis of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pale People shows that they
contain, in a condensed form, all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shat
tered nervea They are an unfailing
specific for such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism,
nervous headache, the after effects of
la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale
and sallow complexions, all forms of
weakness, either in male or female, and
all diseases resulting from vitiated hu
mors in the blood. Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be

John Bielman and HU Wife
Treated by Masked Mem
Strong Citt, Kan., June 21.—Anoth
er sensation was created in this coun
ty last night by the action of a band
of White Caps, in shooting Mr. John
Bielman, and probably fatally wound
ing his wife at their house, south of
Cottonwood Falls.
Mr. Bielman and wife were engaged)
in reading when a knock was heard)
upon the door. Not suspecting danger
the call was answered by Bielman!
when he was seized by two of the
masked men. Being a powerful mam
he succeeded in confining the struggle,
to the inside of the house. A desper
ate fight ensued, during which Biel
man was shot in the side, the ball
passing out at the top of the right,
shoulder.
His wife, in her endeavors to assist'
him, was struck over the head by a.
club in the hands of some one of the>
masked party. The wounds of Biel
man are pronounced not serious, but
those of his wife will probably term
inate fatally. During the melea
Bielman succeeded in tearing a
mask from the face of one
of his assailants, which has
led to the arrest of eight well-known
men of the county, now confined in,
the county Jail. No cause is assigned
for the dastardly act, except that it.
is the outcome of a series of long
standing disputes over petty thieving
that has been going on in that section,
of the county for some ti me past
