ST. LOUIS, Feb. ga Jefferson City
correspondent of the Democrat learns by
a passenger from Kansas tonight, that
the difficulty between Geary and Sher-
rod, growing out of the refusal of the
former to appoint the latter Sheriff, as de-
sired by the Legislature, had fatal ter
mination. Sherrod avowed his purpose
of killing Geary, and meeting the Gov
ernor, spit in his face.
Geary did not resent the indignity, but
his friends got upan Indignation meeting
on Thursday, the 18th. Sheriff Jones,
Sherrod, and others attempted to inter-
rupt the meeting, and in the affray Sher-
rod shot Mr.. Shepard, one of Geary's
friends, four times, and wounded two
others. Mr. Jones, the Governors Sec
rotary, shot Sherrod through the head,
killing him instantly.
Greatexcitement prevailed at Lecomp-
ton, and general fight was anticipated

es of the Missouri Legislature.
Sherrod is the man appointed in Court
to fill the vacancy occasioncd by Sheriff
Jones's resignation, and whom Geary re-
fused commission on the ground of hab-
itual drunkenness. The Westport cor
respondence of the Republican says Sher-
rod did not spit in Geary's face, but call
ed him liar and scoundrel. Balance

tradictcd.

Judge ELNoRg, and the reporter of the
National Era, named KAIzIA. 1t appears
KAIzIA had excited the ire of the Judge
by publishing truthful account of the

had threatened to shoot him at the first
opportunity. He attacked KAIzIA by
striking him over the head with cane,
when kAIzIA drew revolver and shot
the Judge in the thigh. The Judge got
behind a pillar of the court house, and
drawing his revolver shot kAIzIA in the
breast. The ball went through book

Eyz- Snaaking Of, the proposed red,,e-
ton IN the value OF foreign silver coins,
the N. Y. Eapress says
"The intrinsic value of these coins, AS
proved by recent assay in deposit at the
Assay Office of about 5000, showed only
loss of 81 per cent, and these consisted
entirely of smooth pieces, every quarter,
eighth and sixteenth which showad the
pillar, or would pass current in any
South American port, having been pre-
viously taken out. Every sound quarter,
on which the impression is distinct, is
worth intrinsically from 25 or 81 cents,
and is readily taken at 25 cents IN ex-
change for American currency by all of
the bullion brokers. The same is true of
the smaller pieces which are not worn
smooth or clipped. Therefore, those deal
ers who advertise to receive them at par
will suffer, on an average, less discount
upon them than upon uncurrent bank
notes. The coin, In sums of 500 and
upwards, can be deposited at the Assay
Office here, and if the proportion of smooth
coin is not too large, there will be no loss
to the depositor from The face of the coin

AS TO PAYMENT FOR LANDs.-Where
lands are sold above the minimum price,
Land Warrants under the act of 1855,
are not receivable in payment, the whole
amount must be paid in cash. The law
limits the location of Land Warrants to
lands subject to private entry at S1,25
per acre. When two or more persons
apply at the same time to enter the same
tract of land, the 9th section of The act Of
the Cath April. 1899, directs that il be
forthwith offered to the highest bidder,
which of course constitutes public sale,
and the successful bidder must pay the
amount of his bid in cash.
