In recent dispatches from the Indian
Nation, the particulars OF the shooting
of this young man by vigilant COM
mittee, was given. He was there living
under an assumed name, but frOm re-
liable source, and in conversation with
q prominent citizen of MOberly, Mo-, a
Times reporter learned the particulars
of his death, and some of the facts OF his
early life.
At the time of the breaking out of the
war he was living in Monroe county,
Mo-, and was engaged in farming. Be
ing of good family, he was looked upon
as promising young man, generous to
fault and as brave as a lion. The
state of affairs then existing III his cOun-
ty afforded to him the opportunity he
had lOnged for of choosing the reckless,
daredevil life which his impulslve ma
ture had always craved, and he took to
the bush. He was mixed up III mum,
ber Of daring acts during the war, ana
at one time, being bantered by Il com
rade, the two charged through the streets
of Paris, Monroe county, Mo-, there be-
ing then nearly regiment of Federal
troops stationed there.
After the war he settled in the same
county, and was married to Miss MOille
Mathews, of Randolph county. When
the now prosperous little city OF Moberly
opened up such encouraging OppOrtunl-
ties for business, Alexander moved there
and commenced the business OF saloon
keeping. For time he was happy, or
apparently so, having a loving wife, a
sweet little babe and lucrative bust
ness. But at last chaos came IN the form
of, wealthy and prominent citizen, and
now an official of the city OF Moberly,
who seduced the wife and made an out
cast of the husband. After a separation
from his wife he seemed to grow more
and more reckless, and after being the
principal in several cutting and shooting
scrapes, in one of which he cut a man
named Jeffries near to death, he became
Wanderer. He was frequently heard
from in different parts of the State, first
in Kansas City and then in some other
place remote from the one he would be
forced to fee, until in the last extremity
he migrated to the land of long horns,
where he has just been summarlly dealt
with by vigilant committee, being
caught in the act of horse stealing. He
was shot down without a moments
warning, and had not a chance given
him to compromise or ask the forgive
ness of that Being whom he had detled
and wrOnged, and while he fills felon's
grave in that far off State where people
take the law into their own hands and
deal out justice extravagantly and in
consistently, his wife now plies the pro-
fession of prostitute in this city. A
full record Of the deeds and life of this
once promising young man would occu-
py more space than we can devote to it
but, to point the moral to adorn the tale,
it shows that slow and inevitable suicide
of man sunk deep into the fathomless
depths of ofSiissipation and crime seeking
that bourne as the only source OF relief,
and once loved wife, driven even from
the society of relatives and friends into
a pitiless world to earn her bread by
selling her soul. He has at last found
his fate at the hands of class of men
who neither pity nor forgive.

ROMANCE AND REALITY.-A lady read
the following paragraph in paper, Z" A
young wife once cured her husband of a
disposition to absent himself from home
at nights by providing q good dinner,
and saying to him afterward, George,
if you find sweeter spot than our home
describe it to me, and will rival it if |
die in the attempt. A kiss and q few
tears completed the victory" This lady
tried the game on her husband. He
wasn't melted bit; he merely said,
When you can get the boys to come here
and smoke cigars and talk politics, and
you set up keg of lager, you can count
me in. | like the company of the boys.
Ido.' Our lady saw that sentiment had
no affect on him. SO she didn't throw
herself on his neck and hug and wet his
paper collar with tears ; but she took q
saucer and fired it at his head, and fol-
lowed it up with a cup, and ended by
singing dish of strawberries on his
shirt bosom. Since that time he has
been an exemplary husband. Yet he
does seem very anxious for her to visit
her dear mother as often as four or five
times week.
How A WHIP SNAKE FIGHTs.-Reader,
did you ever sec a whip snake We did
not, but we heard of one. A short time
since, while James Christian was return
ing to his mines, he encountered a whip
snake five feet long. In trying to kill
it the snake turned upon him and made
a desperate fight. 1t struck at him re-
peatedly with its tail, cracking it like q
whip. After killing it Mr.. Christian
made an examination of the sarpent,n
It's length was fully five feet, two of
which were plated like a oarter's whip.
The plat seemed to cOnsistof four strands,
and tapered down to what might be
termed a cracker. This species of SER
pent is exceedingly rare (but we should
think lively, and many natllralists doubt
Christian is a gentleman of undoubted
veracity, it is certain that, in addition
to its many other rare attractions, Nor
gan county has, or had, the whip snake.
