On Friday ljut Orion's Anglo-American four combined swindles arrived here as advertised. The tents were pitched, and after the usual atrect par ade they wore rapidly filled with peo ple. All went well except for ill feeling of dome toward the gang of Hlinrpcre, who plied their huei oroiidly. both within the tent At, or rather after, tho evening per formance, however, a disturbance look place which will long be remembered by otir cilizenfi. The paiticulaw in the case arc as follows: During the concert in the evening one Glint Elliot, of Mankato, who was drunk, made a good deal of noiso by sneering at the lit i much of the enter tainment, and in comerjuence rot into an altercation with Claude Powers, adopted son of J.Iiles Orion, the propri etor. Officer L. Lacey came up in time to prevent hlows, and ordered Elliot to be quiet, which order he obeyed, but not till4he ihowma:i had told him that he was "spotted" and would be "attended to after the per formance." True to luc thrcttd made, as soon as the performance whj ended, Oi ton's men began hurrying the audi ence from the tent, telling them that there would be a fuss. Just as Elliot, fatill in tho charge of Lacey, emerged from the tent, he was struck on the head with a tent Make in the hands of one of the hhow men, and as Lacey was stooping to help him up, he, too, w: hit twice in the back with a sand bag. Thinking it was going to be pretty hot for him "Mr. Lacey made tracks for town lo procure help. Upon his le turn lie was greeted with oaths and threats from the showmen, but it is probable no open fight would have taken plaef, had not two or three un autorized persoM, among them George Evans, our half crazy x-restaurant keeper, commenced to rail back at the circus men, threatening lo cut the ropes. This appeared to enrage Or ion's roughs beyond all bounds, and with the chcus cry of ".Hey Jtcube !" they grabbed tent stakes and proceed ed to deal about them riht and left. .Several bystanders, in all about twenty, were knocked down, and Evans was pretty badly pounded, a punishment he well deserved. As the hhowmen & iveic in the majority they succeeded in H making the crowd outside the tents betake themselves to a distance of safe ty. Ihey however followed the circus men to the depot, where the were loading their wagons and tents on the cms, and another war of words and clubs followed, in which Low ITawley. who should have boon in the jug for drunkenness, was pietty roughly handled. Mayor Mann was pent for to use his influence to quiet tho crowd, and had succeeded in doing bo, but just as the train started Evans, who had been home an yot his shot gun. ar rived on tho spot and fired a shot at the train. At this the showmen be gan shooting at tho crowd about the depot, most of whom were spectators attracted by the disturbance. At tho first volley Zig Longnccker, a hard working blacksmith, and a man whol ly innocent of taking any part in the disturbance, was shot through the brain and fell uuconcious upon the platform. At the second volley Mayor Mann was shot in tho back, and a young man named O'Neal, from the country, was shot in the heel. The firing by the showmen was kept up as long as they thought they could hit any one at the depot. The circus train Rtopped for the regular train to side track, but when they started on they resumed firing and kept it up till they were fully half a mile from the depot. There arc parties here "'who say they heard Orton order his men to get their . "gims" and fire low, just as he stepped aboard tho train. Upon examination it was found that Longnecker was shot through the brain, the ball catering - the right temple and coming out just above the cheek bone on the left tide He died in less than an hour, being wholly unconcious after his fall. Young O'Neal received only a flesh .wound in the heel, and is doing as well as could bo expected. A. W. Mann was shot in the back, the ball entering just below the shoulder, close to the back bone, and lodging within the body. He is now in a critical condi- v tion, only his extra strong constitution being in his favor. His physicians say - that should he recover, his lower extrcmeties will always be paralysed, inaking him a helpless cripple. Sheriff Johnson started on Saturday morning's train for Washington, Kan., whith er'thp show had gone, to arrest the outfit. Sixteen were arrested and I ' brought to Mankato. The rest were allowed to ge their way to Sedalia,Mo. where the show was billed to appear. The parties arrested arc no undergoing a preliminary examination. It is prob able that two or more among them took part in .the shooting. Burr OaJz licrald. AdvIcc to Mother.
