A dispatch from Newton, Kansas
on Friday, says:
A very serious shooting affair oc.
CURED here to-day. A desperado
named Nj. j. Fitzpatrick, who has been
on continued drunk for some time
past, got wild with whisky, and while
in that state picked fuss with Justice
Holiday, which resulted in Filzpat-
rick shooting and killing Judge Hol-
liday. The citizens got together and
formed safety committee. After the
shooting of Mr.. Holiday, Fitzpatrick
walked in the middle of the steets to-
wards his saloon, and on arriving
there he looked back and saw the city
marshal, Jack johnson coming to-
wards him with a heavy rifle. He
Immediately turned round, and flour.
ishing his revolver, walked toward
johnson. johnson demanded him TO
surrender and throw up his hands.
Fitzpatrick replied by levcling his re-
volver at Johnson's heart johnson
then shot him through the heart, kill
ing him instantly in his tracks. Fitz.

red had beaten four other persons in
the face and over the head with his
revolver, and shot man through the
hat. Judge Holiday was respectable
citizen, and well liked in Newton. He
was shot in the gold room. Several

FIRE AT BUTLER. 4 o'clock
Sunday morning flames were discover.
ed issuing from the livery stable OF
Patrick M'Mamee, in Butler. The
alarm was given and soon the engines
and large force of men and buckets
were on the ground, and every effort
was made to save the burning build
ing but without success. A large
quantity of hay and straw was stored
in the loft, rendering it impossible to
extinguish the flames when well under
way. Eight valuable horses we're in
the stable at the time, all of which
were burned to death. A number of
carriages and buggies, together with
harness, saddles &C., were consumed.
Loss, $4,000. 00.-Independcnt.

RoBBERY.-About noon to-day, two
young fellows, haling from franklin,
made q raid on the clothing dealers in
general along Washington street.
They "cribbed" a hat from Morris
Heron, pair of shoes from Samuels
Bros, pair of pants from Sobel, and
other articles. Being detected in the
net they started 10 run. One ran down
the alley in rear of the McClintock
House, and was captured by Frank
Cloud, after throwing the stolen prop
erty into a coal house. The other one
was caught near the barrel house OF
the American Oil Works, in Wild

were placed in the lookup and will be

4 PROPOSED MONOPOLY.

| We noticed, in the proceedings Of the Leg
slature last week, that a bill had been intro
duced in the House of Delegates, by Mr.. Nc
Mullan, of South West Virginia, providing
for the publication Of Legal and Court adver-
tiscments in the paper Of the county which
had the largest circulation. We understand
that this bill had its origin in Harrisonburg,
and was intended to circumvent the business
men of that town in their purpose to sustain
the Old Commonwealth against the Register.
We do not remember ever to have heard OF
a more contemplate piece of class 7egis1a-
lation, or more transparent attempt to legal
ize monopoly, against the business portion
Of community.
It may be taken as an established truth,
that the subscribers to live paper, one that
keeps up with the spirit of the times, and
! notes every passing event, is more generally
red by business, energetic men, than the old
family journals These latter have half
their circulation ia distant States, to which
former residents of the State have removed,
who have no idea of purchasing here, and care
nothing about the legal advertisements, except
as q matter of news. Their fathers were pa
irons of these old papers before the more pro-
gressive papers were started, and the sons
/! lave kept up the connection.
We have no idea that the Legislature will
