THE SALEM TRAGEDY.

HOW THE QUARREL COMMENCED-THE FATAL
ENCOUNTER-wHERET THE BLAME RESTS.
From an Occasional Correspondent Of the Sentinel.
SALEM, IND June 4. 1S74.-This unfortu-
nate town has been visited with another
tragedy. On Monday evening, one Frank
Pitts, person long resident of this place
and an habitual drunksrd, while on q spree
was killed on South Main street, in front of
the McGindiey house. Pitts had been GO
ing about the streets and public square dur
ing the afternoon in a drunken con-
dition, and being of a rather quarrelsome
disposition while drinking, he had attracted
the attention of the boys about the streets.
At all events, he had attacked one Newland
Tyler, boy about twenty years old, at the
depot short distance from the above hotel,
and had thrown Tyler down and choked
him. Tyler got up and said he was go-
Ing to have Pitts arrested and started
up Main street. IC is matter of
doubt whether Pitts really followed him
with any intention of renewing the
difficulty, but they came together at the
McGindley house, and Pitts, it is said, showed
Tyler off the pavement, when Tyler
PICKED UP A ROCK. ~ falrtTa
No one seems TO have seen him strike or
throw, but several heard the sound of the
blow and saw Pitts stagger and fall on the
avement, where he died in a few minutes.
He had rock in his hand, which was re-
moved from his grasp after his DEATH His
skull was fractured at the base. Tyler admit
ted he had hit Pitts in the back
Of the head. The verdict of the
Coroner's jury was, that he came to his
death by q blow with rock in the hands of
Newland Tyler. Tyler was thereupon ar

West. Both waived an examination, and on
that evening were brought to Marion and
placed in Jail, where they now are. FROM
all the circumstances surrounding TINS
erime,it is evident that West and. Smith were
the chief if not its only perpetrators. That in
stead of being shot, as Smith te stiies, Nc Math
was evidently beaten to de ath with clubs
or other bludgeons. To dc this work, ana
convey the body as 1t was, required at least
two men. The horses of these two men were
hitcbed on opposite sieies OF the road Just
south OF the scene OF the murder, and the
scene of the murder was at the point where
the path from the elder Jones house came
to the road, the proper point to intercept tne
unfortunate man. Daniel West, apparently
the principal actor in the crime, is stoutIy
built, heavy black negro, about tive feet Ten
inches high, and twenty four years oi
age. He has not been in the settle
meut bat a year or so-haviDg DAN
raised somewhere in Ohio We. mlkAt
add here that he continues to stoutiy deny
that he is guilty of the crime charged upon
him, or that he has any knowledge OF 1t
James a. Smith is really white man. He
is the step son of George Casey, who is mar
ried to his mother-hence he frequently goes
by the name of Casey. His mother ~
white woman, who was formerly married TO
a malatto man named Smith, who died
many years since, but we learn that she has
stated to her son, now charged with
this crime, that his father was
white man. Srnith is married man.
% years of age, rather 1.-the in build,
round shouldered, and on the day of the
inquest slouched hat and his pants hang
ing on his boot tops, gave him the appear
snce ofa rough. The murdered man was
apparently black, and stoutly built He
was good, religious man, and at the meet
ing, an hour before he was murdered made
an excellent prayer. We learn that he has
one or two brothers, or half brothers, living
- al eel, h
ing, making slaves, we believe. in the woods
where AhaD lay for a week in the pond.

raigned on a charge'of msnslaughter. The
preliminary examination was waived and
the bail was fixed at 81, 500 for his appearance
at the circuit court. While he is known as
an indolent, trifiing boy, he succeeded in
giving bail. and is at liberty. The trans
action is regarded here as a strong tempe
rance lesson, and the temperance people will
exert all their influence to suppress the sale
of liquors in this community. l~ -

The frank, but rather severe criticism OF
this story by Berry r. Sulgrove, in private
letter to her, seems to have completely cured
her of story writing and turned her atten-
tion exclusively to the ield for which her
honest and able critic thought her so sd-
mirably fitted. The following extracts from
that letter are better than anything we can
say, which is our own apology for printing
them:

BEWARE OF CANARps.-It is rumored
that the prolific brains of the Courier
editorial corps have coined several cleo
tiOneerins lies to be scattered far and
near on the eve of election. This is
a cowardly dodge, and only resorted to
by those who advocate o desperate
cause. Voters will be on their guard.
Stories that will not bear repeating at a
time when the opposite party may have
AN opportunity to refute them, are in
ninety eases out of hundred base
fabrications invented for the meIe pur-
pose of political effect.

EDUCATED and EXPERIENCED TEACHERS

the superior and practical method of actual
business drill, that few Commercial Colleges
have arrived, precludes the possibility OF the
student passing over any point ever occurring
in any business in detail or whole without
thoroughly understanding all the principles
involved and just how and where to apply
them.
An illustration OF the system Of Barter and
Exchange in all kinds OF business is learned
in the establishment of actual business de-
partments i'm which the student buys sells,
discounts, draws, drafts, notes. bills OF eX-
change, is made acquainted with money val
ues. rates of exchange. market fluctuations,
partnership settlements, etc, etc., combining
theory and practice in Il manner productive
of the greatest possible advancement OF the
student. Double and single entry book-keep,,
ing, commercial circulations, commercial
law, business penmanship, photography, cor
respondence, counterfeit bank-note detection,
photography and telegrapby are among the
branches taught.
We can claim for our department of peman-
ship an eXcellency rarely equaled and not
SURPASSED by any Business College,. The Ia
dies department is entirely separate from the
male department.
There are no vacations Students can enter
at any time. Evening sessions continue
through the entire year For full particu-

HAS COME TO THE FRONT!

The Courier and the Dispatch have
been exceedingly bouyant over the po-
sition of the Dayton Ne,cs, the organ
of the Bedrock" Democrats, in refer
ence to Mr.. Sharpstein. They have
quoted from its columns and patted its
editor on the back. Will they please
maintain their good will by copying the
following from its last issue:
Our NoMNEE.--Mr. Sharpstein, the
Democratic nominee for Congress, is O
gentleman of uninpeachable character,
and possessed of fine legal attainments
and practical business qualifications,
which render him eminently fitted for
the position his friends are DESTROYS of
elevating him to. He did not seek the
nomination, nor was it sought for him
by the delegation from this county.
After the declination of Judge McFad-
den, Mr.. Sharpstein's name was pro-
posed first by the immediate friends
of the former gentleman in good faith
and the Democracy of this county should
to the fullest extent in their power, rat
ify the selection made. The people of
Whitman and Walla-walla counties
have. irrespective of party been clam
orous for delegate from this side of
the mountains. They now have gen.
tleman in the field, who is thoroug hly
identified and familiar with all their
wants and interests. And it ia with
them to say on the Sd day of Novem-
Der whether they were sincere or not.

FACTS that CAN BE PROVEN.

Voters, remember that Judge Sharp
stein the Democratic-Liberal candidate
for Congress, pays four times as much
towards the revenue to support our
Territory, as all the Federal Office
holders including the Governor, Judges
Collectors, the Surveyor General and
the Land Officers combined. The fact
is patent to all that he is permanent
resident of the Territory. All his in
terests are identified with her welfare,
and his enterprising spirit materially
aided in developing the resources of the
land of his choice.
Voters, remember likewise that
neither Judge Jacobs, nor the clique
which nominated him, in opposition 10 the
popular ,Uiu, would probably have been
in the Territory, at the present time, if
they had not been sent here with fat
salaries to retain them, and who will
probably shake the dust CT our Terri
tory from their feet soon as their terms
of Office expire.
Remember, That Judge Jacobs owns .
farm in Oregon. which he proposes to
convert into cash and add to his judi
cial swag," soon as his term Of Office
is ended, and emigrate to more con-
genial climes, where the house of Jacobs
can have tho civilizing influence of "re-
fined society"
Remember, That if Judge Jacobs
was deceived into endorsing the Car
son swindle No. l, the same excuse will
not hold water in relation to his appro-
val OF swindle No 2, wherein the Terri
tory was mulcted to the amount of
$500.
Remember, That if the Northern Paci-
cifc Railroad Company can have the
death penalty reduced to a nominal i'm
prisonment, that their influence may be
welded with equal success in promot-
ing that grasping corporations designs
upon the best interests OF the people.
Remember, That Jacobs nomination
Mt Vancouver was tho result of =" trade"
with the Northern Pacific Railroad,
whereby their pet Vineyard, should don
the robes of Chief Justice; that Bloom
field, another of their pets and counsel
for the company, was nominated by the
same Convention for Prosecuting At
torney.
Remember these facts, voters, on the
day of election, and cast yonr ballots
for Sharpstein, and those associated
with him on the ticket, and rebuke
these meddlers with our local affairs,
who are not Unidentified with us in in
terest, and are buta mere fungus on the
body polite.

INDIAN INSPECTION learn from
the "Court organ" the Courier, that
Gen. VIM. Vandever, Inspector of In
dian Affairs, was in town a few days
ago, and departed as mysteriously as he
came, to visit the agencies on the
Sound. His inspection" will pro-
badly be about as through and satisfac-
tory as the reports of Congressional in
vestigating Committees.

IT Is Nor TRuE.-There seems to be
an opinion prevalent with some persons
that there will be a further postpone
ment of the Library Concert. There is
no ground for this idea. We speak &c
cathedra when we say that Gov. Bran
lette infroms US, and through us the
public that the drawing will take place
on the 3Oth of November as surely as
that day will arrive in the calendar.
Those who wish to partake of the bene-
fits of the gifts, or to add their mite to
the success of the great Library, should
not delay an hour to become share
holders in the grandest enterprise ever
offered to the public in this or any
other country.

special says there is considerable
attention attracted among ship-owners
by the recent remarkable discovery by
Captain Picasso, OF the bark Teresa,
of a dangerous rock in the Atlantic.
The mystery of the President, City OF

many other noble vessels which have

There is not a man living who has
passed through SO many years of public life
his honesty as Judge Jacobs. -Dispntch.
Isn't that drawing it rather strong,
Brother Brown? Do you forget that
we ever had George Washington or a

sensible people, and shows what q

may make of very sensible man.

that Mr.. VIM. Renton, owner of tho
Port Blakely Mills, who is large stock
holder in the Renton coal mines, has
loaned 100000 at 7 per cent. per an
