SHOOTING ARRAY.
A Telegraph Operator Fatally
Shot by . Saloon Keeper.
A Lively Duel Setween the two
Men.

From a telegram received in this
city yesterday we learn the par
ticulars of a probable fatal shooting
ARRAY which occurred at Julesburg,
on the Union Pacific railroad Tues
day, between w. A.. Stafford,
operator at the station, and e. c.
Clifton, a keeper of a low groggery.
1t appears that a few days ago
Clifton accused Stafford of taking
his pocket knife, and threatened to
shoot him, pulling a revolver on
him, but without shooting.
Tuesday afternoon Stafford went
over to Clifton's saloon to "make
up" with him, but failirg to do SO,
high words ensued between the
two men, when Stafford pulled his
revolver, knowing that Clifton had
one, and that he had threatened to
shoot him.
Clifton jerked out his revolver,
and without a moments hesita.
ton, fired the first shot, which
took effect in Safford's breast. A
lively exchange of shots followed,
but the first was the only one that
hit the mark.
Stafford was taken to Sidney on
the east-bound train, and there re-
ceived medical attendance. The
wound is pronounced fatal, and SAT-
ford is now lying at the point of
death.
Clifton retreated to his house, and
when the citizens attempted to take
him, he kept blazing away at them,
taking care not no hit any one. He
thus kept them at bay till late at
night, VIXEN NJ. F. Leach, the sta
ton agent, had the courage to cap
ture him single-handed, and take
him, Wednesday morning to Sidney,
where he Is now locked up.

SEVERE on SOOTHING SYRuPs.-The Pop
ular Science Monthly remarks that one Of the
great dangers attending the use Of the varlous
sedatives employed in the nureery is that they
tend to produce the opium habit. These quacks
medicines owe their soothing and quietlng ei-
fects to the action Of opium, and the infant n
by them given morbid appetite for narcotic
stimulants. The offering for sale Of such nos
trums should be prohibited, as tending to tne
physical and moral deterioration OF the race.
In India mothers give to their intants pills con-
tanning opium, and the result is . languld' sen
sual race Of hopeless debauchees. N tne Uni.
ted States the poisonous dose is admlnisterea =,

THE Owyhee Aralanche, like other people,
loses its temper when it runs short of argu-
ments. The WORLD, week before last asked
it to state an instance in which the stumpage
law had been enforced before the present
Spring. It asked for Information. The Ava-
lanche, unable to furnish the Information, let's
it's bad temper get the better Of it's usual good
sense, and in its reckless anger accuses the
WORLD of asserting that the Territorial courts
have power to render null and void an act Of
Congress The WORLD made no such asser-
ton. 1t never speaks Of the Territorial courts
except contemptuously, and never will until
they are differently constituted. or it changes
hands. The WORLD, however, has opinions,
and expresses them right or wrong; but not
being published in the interest of officials it
does not borrow opinions from that class of
people. nor care whether the opinions it ex-
presses are officinal or not. It favors reduc-
ton instead of an increase of public expendi-
lures, and therefore looks for no friendship
from, and expects no quarters of those who
would continue the present ruinous condition
of things in our fearfully misgoverned and rob-
bed Territory. The WORLD. however, knows
that the opinion of Commissioner Curtis is not
an act of Congress nor yet judicial decision,
and may be reversed or set aside at will by any
court having Jurisdiction of the matter; and
that any miner or other person 80 disposed,
may disregard such opinion, and appeal to the
courts for decision It has also discovered
thanks to lawyer Of this place-that Commis-
soner Curtis did not render any such opinion
as has been ascribed to him by both the Ara-
lanche and the WORLD, and that therefore,
their quarrel has been about the color OF a cha
meleon What Commissioner Curtis did de-
cide-if the lawyers view is the correct one,
and we think the 4palanche will agree with
him, il it will read the opinion carefully lly-waa,
that there can be more than one claim located
on the same vein; not tina: one man or one
company can locate more than one. And be
is also of the opinion that the Commissioner
opinion is no opinion at all. and agrees with ui
fully, that one man or company can only locate
and hold one claim Of 500 feet, on one and
the same quartz vein, "A fact that has seemed Il
us 80 reasonable and plain, that we are really
at loss to know how it came to be called into
question.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The Statesman is opposed to any reduction
OF public expenditures, or Of taxation. The
WORLD is in favor Of both The Statesman
thinks public officers should be paid as
much now as ten years ago, when provisions
were fifty cents pound, and wages from $6
to $40 per day; the WORLD desires to see sal
aries reduced to correspond with the earnings
of labor and the reduced cost of living. The
Statesman is anxious to have the next legisla'
ture made up Of class of irresponsible ninnies,
who can be used by the lobbyists and rings
which keep it alive, to extend for two years
more, the extravagant, wasteful and riotous
system OF government which has 50 long pre-
vented the settling up and development OF the
Territory; the WORLD would have men of in
telligence. personal honor, and private inter-
ests in the welfare of Idaho elected, that the
liws may be so amended as to induce men of
means to come here and settle up our valleys,
prospect our mountains, and invest their means

make them the foremost in the world The
Siatesman wants capitalists taxed So 45 on the
hundred dollars, to continue in Office. and un-
der fabulous salaries, class of men who nei
ther labor, own property nor pay taxes; the
WORLD would give the Offices and fair salaries
to those who produce by their labor the wealth
of the Territory, and who pay the taxes which
support the Territorial organization. The
Statesman wants the Territorial Offices filled
by political lunch-eaters gathered from the tap.
rooms of Washington City, and from the back
settlements Of Wasco county, Oregon; the
WORLD would have such Offices filled by citi-
gems of the Territory. The Statesman pub.

THE Statesman affects to despise our objec-
tions to Judge Whitson. because, forsooth, we
did not designate the trial in which the offense
designated, was committed, and give the names
of the jurors There are reasons founded in
principles Of humanity. quite incomprehens'bIe

ticularizing the trial, and the names Of the ju-
rors, can make no possible difference. Two Of
them reside here, one is dead, and the rest We
know nothing about. The standing Of the two
men here, is much better than Judge Whitson's g

A BLACK HOLE IN KANsAs.-The New
York Herald of June goth tells q story
of fearful crime in Kansas. 1t is of a
woman being kept chained by the leg in dun
geon for a whole year before she was discov-
cred. There was just air enough admitted
to keep her alive, and when found some rot
ton meat and stale bread were lying on plate
beside her. and this was all she had to sustain lie
The Her,ld says the story of the unfortunate
woman's confinement, as gathered from her and
the girl is as full Of barbarism and cruelty as
could be conceived:
'For one year the woman had been thus
confined, and never once saw the light. Ihe
girl said the woman was her step mother, and
was crazy; but the quiet manner IN which the
woman acted would tend to dissipate the
story; or, if it were so, the alteration of mind
must have been very slight. The poor woman,
nearly dead from excitement, was taken by the
ne,phbors, kindly washed, dressed and cared
for. and by the change would hardly be known
She is a tolerably fair looking woman and
doesn't bear the appearance of harming an In
fant. She seems to be in constant dread and
misery lest she should be taken back to the
hideous hole from which she was rescued, and
is continually inquiring if she is in heaven. The
iuhuman husband has probably escaped, and
visit to the house at late hour last night to
arrest the daughter discovered the fact that
she was also gone. The trains are closely
watched to see that she does not leave town
by railroad, and an attempt will be made to
arrest the husband 1t would make the strong
est man shudder to step into the hole. and the
only wonder is that the poor woman lived SO
long. The woman will be cared for by the
neiahbors until some disposition is made of her
by the county. She is now but little more
than a skeleton, and can hardly walk around.
The dread of going back to the Internal hole
where she as discovered still seems to haunt
her, and her pathetic appeals to save her. with
the interrogatories in regard to where she is
are certainly heartrending."

AFTER 'EM.-The Wala Walla Statesman
is after the public plunderers of that county
with sharp stick; but, comparing the salaries
Of Walla Walla county officials with the sal
aries of the same grade of officials in Boise
county. it will be found that ours receive ex-
actly twice the amount per annum paid the
Walla Walla officials; yet, in private employ
ment in Walla Walla county, the Statesman
admits that its officers might reasonably expect
500 per month; the men. to whom we pay
$500 and upward per month we are convinced
could not find private employment at SloO.
The Statesman is edited by man of twenty
Eve years experience, an able editor and good
writer. and it is his candid opinion that $500
a month is too much to pay public man. to
whom a private employer would not pay
more than S1OO. But those interested IN the
swindle call US a fool because we are opposed
to paying $4,000 to men who could not realize
81 900 a year at any kind of private labor.
Why is it that the services of such men are
an much more valuable here than are the services
Of competent men in Walla Wal!a! or Is Mr..
Newell fool, also, and not capable OF judging
how much the services of public ofhcer are

HoAxING THE CRITJcs.-Sir Charles Dixie,
the English Liberal who made such stir by
his speech against the extravaganza of the Civil
List, has created another sensation, but this
time in literary circles. A short time ago
book appeared entitled 1.-The downfall of Prince
Florestlne of Monaco, written by himself"
In this brochure. under the disguise OF sketch
of the little State of Monaco, notable only for
the fact that it derives all its revenue from
gambling establishment, was concealed much
sharp and piquant political satire, and among
other objects of invective was Sir Charles
Dixie. The work took immensely, and the
critics were loud in their praise, though some
of them thought the attacks upon Dixie too
severe. 1t was attributed to almost every lit
erary man of prominence, but erroneously in
every case, and after any amount of conjecture
it has at last transpired that the author is no
other than Dixie himself. Perhaps the best OF
the Joke was that when the manuscript was
taken to Macmillan, its publisher, he said he
should like to print it, but be feared the un-
friendly illusions tu the author Of "Grsater
Britain" were too pointed. Of course it was
necessary to let him into the secret, aud be
published the story. Everybody now is laugh
ing at the critics, whose powers OF discernment
have been so cruelty exposed, and these gentry
no doubt deeming discretion the better part OF
valor, are keeping as quiet as possible. trusting
that the ridicule viii soon blow over, and their
ascendency be once more submitted to.-Sac
