Stupidity.


Mayor Anthony has at last done .
stupid thing-he caused the Editor Of
the Times TO be arrested for q military
criticism! Is it possible that he ener-
getic mayor of the City Of the Plains
should esteem criticism of Joe Hooker
BY a hickory Quaker Of sufficient i'm
portanee as to immor,alize tie aspiranl
after fame by consignment to the Gala
boose =? He should have remembered
the fable of the OK and the fly. and ab
stained from the martyrdom Of the said
critic.
Seriously. such arrests are no. toler'
able in this free land. Every disloyal
ist should be arrested. and sent beyont
the lines, but there let the work rest
We mu,. and will have free press aut
free speech; but free speech is no. ,rea
sonable speech. Let traitors remember
that.

Hanging Thieves.

Niue thieves were arrested At and
near Atchison. and word sent 70 Gen.
Blunt to inquire what should be done
with them. We are told the General
returned for ans wer. tha, he had more
hanging of his own to attend to than
was agreeable, and for the people or
authorities Of Atchison to give the
thieves fair trial. and if found guilty.
hang them. This was done. One OF
them was hung on Monday and one on
Tuesday. and two were condemned 10
be hung on Saturday. 10 -dsy:) the
disposition that would be made Of the
other Eve Was not determined, but j,
was the prevailing opinion that they
would all Be hung.
Our informant. Dr.. Wilson. witness
ed the execution on Tuesday. and re-.
presents the excitement Is Intense
The men had stolen six horses from q
Mr.. Kelsey. and maltr-aled him. hung
his son three times. and abused his wife.
He had sold some cattle and thsy
though. he had the money. ani tried to
make the boy Tell where it WAS. 1t
bad been deposited in one Of the Le.v.
enworlh banks. SO the villains did no,
get it. Let them swing. There is no
good use that such miscreants can be
put to.
l, is believed that the man hung on
Tuesday was "Pony." a. he was called.
vho used 10 drive etage from A,chison
to this place. He is represented as a
very "bard customer"
This is sad state of things: but there
is 60 other remedy for the evil but the
summary punishment of the criminals
who are prowling about the country.
They must be put down.

Horrible Murder.

The Junction City Union records the
incidents Of one of the most cold blood
ed murders near that place on record.
1t appears that two brothers. Paul
and Henry Kramer, lived few miles
from town and were recently visited by
their father from Germany. Henry
proposed to return to Germany with bis
father. and asked Paul to pay him some
money that he owed him. Paul made
excuses and seemed unable or uu~il-
ling to pay. After pouling over the
matte, for day or two. Henry took q
revolver and sho. his brother at the
supper table. the ball passing through
his neck. Paul ran into roon. not
knowing lie was wounded. and seized .
shot gun, but in attempting to use it.
the blood gushed from his mouth. His
wife then ran to his assistance and hur.
ried him IF towards the nearest neigh
bors. Henry followed and fred four
shots after them. but without effect. It
then being dark. He then returned to
the house, and his father says. took
some strychnins: bu, if so it did not
take effect, and he went to the river
to drown himself. or as is supposed ID
escape. He returned again to the house
all vet except his hat and head. The
sheriff then arrived and demanded ad-
mittance; the old man at 6rst refusing.

its being broken in. Henry had tried
to escape, but finding j. impracticable
