Policeman Paul Mendelsohn was killed Sunday night; John W. Chambers, a nonunion motorman, was hurt and Conductor George Webernodorfer was pounded into insensibility. The scene of the crime was at Forest park, the terminus of the North Main Street line. The spot is isolated, and the car reached the end of the line and the crew made preparations for the return trip. Immdiately after the conductor turned the trolley and the motorman reversed his levers eight masked men sprang from the bushes by the roadside, entered the car and discharged their revolvers, every man being armed. Officer Mendelsohn fell at the first report, and as a later examination showed, the first shot was fatal, having pierced his heart. The motorman was also hit and leaped from his car with a cry of pain. Some of the men followed him, while the remainder turned their attention to the conductor. He was thrown to the floor of the car and pounded and kicked until he was unconscious. com-necti- BENSON IS IN JAIL. Murderer Could No Longer Elude the Officers.

THEYRE AFTER DICK. Last of Notorious Gang of Bandits Being Hunted Down. Laughing Dick, or, as he is more Dick tommonly called, Gaping Carey, said to be the last of the notorious gang of cattle hustlers and train robbers, for whom rewards aggregating $3000 have been offered, is still at large, hut his capture is hourly expected. Last Wednesday Gaping Dick passed through Saratoga,1 Wyoming, en route north, twelve hours ahead of the officers, but his mount was jaded, and it is thought he cannot escape. it is said, was for years a , Carey, member of the notorious""Butch Cas-sid- y and George Curry gangs of outlaws that made their headquarters in the country, in central Wyoming, and the Robbers Roost section of southern Wyoming and northern Colorado. When a mere boy, it is alleged, he served the older and outlaws as herder, messenger attendant. camp In 1901, in consequence of he theft of 350 horses from the Medicine Butte company in South Dakota, the South Dakota authorities offered $1,000 for Careys' capture, and the Medicine Butte company offered a like sum. Johnson county officers trailed Carey to Wolton last October, and afterji sharp fight, in which Careys horse was killed under him, captured him. Carey feigned a broken leg, and was taken to Senator Maddens ranch near I.ost cabin and was placed in care of a herder over night. Carey was not hurt, however, and during the night he overpowered his guard, secured a pistol and went to the ranch house, where he held up the inmates and secured a Winchester rifle and a belt full of cartridges. Returning to the fastest horse mounted the be barn, and made his escape. The ranchmen fired a fusillade of shots at the escaping bandit and heard him cry out in pain, but he was not dangerously wounded. The next day Carey was trailed a distance of thirty miles by blood from his wound, but he took to a stream, and thus threw his pursuers off the trail. Senator Madden offered a reward of $1,000 for the capture of the outlaw, and since that time officers have been searching for Carey. Early in January "Laughing Dick was located in Routt county, Colorado, but he got wind of the officers coming and fled to Utah. About the middle of February Carey was located in near Thompsons, the mountains Utah, but he was warned by friends of the approach of the officers, and Igain made his escape. Hole-in-the-W- POLYGAMY DYING OUT. Smoot Says There Are But 756 Polygamous Families. Senator Smoot, according to a Washington dispatch, has made the I am not a pofollowing statement: lygamist. I have been married but once, and my wife and six children are in Utah gt the present time. The statement that I have contracted a polygamous marriage is absolutely and unqualifiedly false. Polygamy is dying out In Utah and in the Mormon territory. As late as last August a census was taken of the polygamous families in the church, and there were just 756 of them. I think it will be conceded that the church, by means of its internal machinery, is in a position to obtain correct information on the . subject. A dozen years ago a census of the polygamous families showed five times is many." Senator FORCED HER TO ROBBERY. Queer Story Told by a Bride of Six Weeks. Alonzo Clark and Elizabeth Austin, aged 19, were married six weeks ago. They are no,w in Jail at Oswego, N. Y., charged with burglary and larceny. Mrs. Clark says that on the night of February 5th her husband forced her by threats and fear of bodily harm to assist him in entering and robbing a store at Hastings Center, near here. She says she dressed in male attire and waited outside the store while he broke a window in the rear and went in. He signaled and she followed him through the window. She says she pointed out the most valuable goods and held the bags and baskets, while her husband filled them. Sheepherder Frozen to Death. The dead body of O. P. Norman has been found on the range near Wam-sutte- r, Wyo. Norman was last seen February 2, when he was dismissed from the service of the Daly sheep outfit.

Two men attacked two customs officers conveying $25,-00- 0 to the bank, and, throwing pepper in their eyes, secured the money bags, which they threw to a horseman, who galloped off. The horseman in his flight knocked down a roan named Brandon, who was killed. Subsequently the horse bolted and unseated the rider, who was then arrested and the money recovered. The Lost is Found. The mystery surrounding the disappearance four years ago next April of Joseph Trimhorn, a wealthy brewer of Great Falls, Mont., whom it was thought met with foul play, has been cleared up by the discovery that he is alive in Tasmania, Australia, where he has been living since he dropped out of sight in New York City.

THE Congress Expires at Noon Wednesday. The Fifty-sevencongress expired at noon Wednesday by limitation. There has not been in many years such a demonstration in the house as occurred, owing to the fact that Speaker Henderson was retiring, not only as presiding officer, but as a member. The bitter partisan feeling that has sprung up in the house of representatives during the past week caused the speaker to fail of the unanimous approval of the house when the resolution of thanks was offered. The usual resolution of thanks to President Pro Tem Frye was unanimously adopted in the senate. Senator Mason, whose term expired, talked an important bill to death, but in his valedictory he lectured the senate for Its unlimited debate which allows bills to be killed in that manner, and he also made a final plea for the freedom of the Filipinos. The bills which had passed and reached the stage of enrollment were all signed by President Roosevelt, who, with members of his cabinet, occupied the presidents room In the' senate wing of the capitol. This biennial visit of the president to the capitol is one of the features of a closing congress. Fifty-seven- NO OBJECTION MADE TO HIS BE. 1NG SWORN IN.

In response to Inquiries as to the probable course which the committee on elections will pursue in the Smoot case, Senator Hoar said that the matter was entirely in the hands of Senator Burrows, who is In Michigan, and will not return for several days.
