who was besieged by rioters in
a house situat'd about a bloek from
the rity rent re.
I 'or hours previous to the reseue of
Superintendent Armstrong the city had
been overrun by a riotous crowd of
probably persons, who shouted
"I town with the Americans!* and other
similar cries.
The excitement originated iu a trivial
school incident, involving Superintendent
Armstrong, and illustrating
the excitable nature of the I'orto Uieans.
The Superintendent reprimanded
a girl, ten years of age. for disobedience.
and forcibly, but harmlessly,
marched her to the front from lite rear
of tlic school root n. Her dress caught
in a desk and was torn, and the girl
reported to iter mother that site had
been kicked and abused
This excited the mother and setisa
liotial stories were circulated, with the
! result that when the school children
were dismissed a number of hoys gathered
together and paraded the streets.
They were joined by tunny loafers and
full-grown men. and it became necessary
for the police to escort Superin
icndcnt Armstrong from the school
utilise in ins Home.
The Superintendent ami the policemen
were sinned as Ilie.v passed
through the streets, and as the ernwd
eoustaiitly increased in size they
sought refuge in the Intendeiieia bulldI
ing. A number of persons from the
crowd outside succeeded in entering
j the building. Inn were ejected by employes
and otiters. A treasury clerk
was attacked, stoned and disarmed.

waylaid her near her home and after
shooting her through the head enm
milled suicide by tiring another bullet
into his brain. The girl was taken to
the hospital. The bullet entered ho
hind her cap and lodged beneath tin*
loft eye. Campbell was also taken to
the hospital, but did not regain eon
soiousnoss.
Miss Treulib is nineteen years old
She is the eldest daughter of Albert
Treulib. a merchant of Mount Vernon,
and was related by marriage to the
young man who attempted her life.
Miss Treulib was returning home
about S o'clock p. in., when Campbell,
who was hidden behind a tree with
a revolver in his hand, sprang out and
shot her. The girl's father said to it
reporter: "My wife and myself were
eating supper when we heard two
shots in quick succession 1 went to
the door, and as 1 opened it 1 heard
Dorothy crying for her mother. She
was lying on the sidewalk in a pool
of blood. Campbell was lying a few
feet away. When I reached my
daughter she said. 'Oh. papa, he has
shot me and then killed himself.' With
the assistance of neighbors 1 carried
her into the house and then ran for a
doctor. I never knew until to-niglit
that Campbell was in love with Dorothy.
He visited my house for the last
time, on Sunday night. lie appeared
to be in good spirits and he and Dorothy
sang and played together all evening.

Unit his attachment for Dorothy was
merely family friendship."
It was learned that although Miss
Tretilih did not regard him seriously
Campbell was desperately in love with
her. Miss Tretilih is a lilonde and a
very attractive young woman. She
has been giving Campbell violin los
sons for some time. Campbell has
been employed as an electrician at the
plant of the Westchester lighting
Company. in Mount Vernon. lie
boarded with his sister. Mrs. Anna
Tretilih. who is Miss Treulih's aunt,
and whose house the young woman
frequently visited. His sister said that
he had frequently spoken of his love
for Dorothy, hut that she had discouraged
him by telling him that Dorothy
did not care for him except as a
friend. Sim thinks that the lloston
letter which Campbell in a note left
by bi 111. complained of as having pre
eipitntcd the tragedy, is one which was
written to Miss Tretilih a few days
ago by an aunt in that city. In this
letter the aunt asked Dorothy to send
her her picture as there was a >bung

of himself a< soon as it was

and will undertake td"join the ranks of
the Federal volunteer army whenever
necessity arises.
The Federal Coveruntenl would, tin
del* this scheme, provide instruction,

uniform, and would pay *?nch man who
made himself cflicient a bonus of .*">0
