STATE AT LARGE.
| ATCHIsON NEBRASKA RAILROAD.-Wea are graf
flied to learn that the above named road penetra-
ting M it does, the rich country Of southern Ne
braska, is doing an excellent business in both the
passenger and freight traffic. The road has equal
freight rates, in proportion to the distance, and
does not discriminate for or against any. The
road is sPlenddly equipped and furnishes the best
| facilities for getting into Nebraska. Trains will
run to Humboldt by September first, and to Table
Rock by October first. The superintendent, +. II.
Firth, is an accomplished railroad man, and a
thorough gentleman to transact any business with.
ST. Joseph Herald.
From the Concorlia Empire we learn that early
| last week old man named Pierce arrived i'm
\ that town from the Solomon, to procure u lawyer
| to defend man named Pete johnson, who, he
said, had shot two in self defence. Soon af-
ter he arrived, he got tight that but little con-
cernng the affair could be obtained from him.
| From his statement. it appears two men named
| G. Liblin and - Vance came to his (Pierce's)
claim to drive him off, while johnson was staying
| at his house. That the men brought plOw with
| them and commenced to break the land near his
| house.
Pierce says he went ont and demonstrated with
| them, hut to avail. They armed and
determined to drive him off. One of the men ma
king demonstratian, Johnson remonstrated
| when he said if he interferedl he would shoot him.
| at the same time drawing his revolver. johnson
| drew his revolver and shot the man dead. In the
| meantime the other man drew johnson, when
the latter fired, killing him also.
johnson gave himself up to the authorities, and
| was to be examined on Thursday.
| \ note from Judge Williams, who went mp to
defend johnson, states that Pierce has also been
| arrested. There seems to bc mystery hanging
oaer TIC "'i'ir WHICH 'i "'eS''s"'''" may eie''r
up.
