It is to Sergeaut Donovan and Officer Huberts that Ben Fitzpatrick, atlremau on the Union Pacific railway, owes his escape from the hands of tho bloodthirsty blood-thirsty and riotous avenger. It was approaching 7 o'clock last evening when a telephone message was rung into police headquarters and a request re-quest made for magisterial aid at tho Cactus saloon at 159 West South Temple Tem-ple street. Mounting the "Maria" the officer were quickly driven to the place where they found thomsolves in the position of center pieces in the midst of a mob that was thirsting for the blood of Fitzpatrick. Taking in the situation the officers grasped Fitzpatrick and locked hi i in the hurry up, after which he was taken to the police station and locked up to await an examination on the charge of rape. The particulars of his offense are of the most shocking nature. Mrs. Ann Hanson, a septugenarian with seven years over the mark, had reported at the ( 'a tm saloon for ber vesper pitohor of beer, when Fitzpatrick tendored his hand as if to help her across the muddy isle. She accepted the counterfeit courtesy, cour-tesy, when Fitzpatrick dragged her into a wine room and accomplished his fiendish purpose. She was lying unconscious un-conscious on the floor when he took his departure and when John Corbett, the bartender, discovered her. He gave chase and Fitzpatrick was overtaken. A hundred or more persons were ready to administer summary justice and possibly pos-sibly would have resorted to violence but for the prompt arrival of the police. Price in Durance.
