The Murder.

The following facts were elected at
the inquest on the body of the man
killed on Friday evening: A party of
young men who live in the vicinity of
Santa Anita ranch, and who had just
got through n job of threshing, came
into town and got on "run." Dur
ing the afternoon, two Of them-Levi
Tidrow and Alonzo Reed-sauntered
through Sanchez street, where they
met a Mexican woman known as Mrs.
Gardiner, whom they accosted. She
invited them to her house, and they
followed her to Oliveras street, and
into the same house where Mendioroz
was killed by Fernandez some weeks
ago. Tidrow went out to Pelanconi's s
and bought bottle of wine. and while
he was absent, a fellow known by the
name of Frank Edwards entered the
room, and in gruf manner said
that was his place, and ordered
Reed out. He left and joined Tidrow,
who in the meantime had purchased
the wine. AS they were passing the
door, Edwards came out and invited
them in again. They entered and all
drank freely. At length Edwards,
who seems to be possessed of wholly
brutal nature, knocked down the
woman, Gardiner, and was beating
her severely, when Tidrow told him
not to hurt her. He then turned on
Tidrow, and they scuffied. Reed
thought things were not inviting in
that room and tried to leave, but the
door was fastened. He then made a
break through q window. AS he went
out Tidrow called on him, and as he
turned he saw Edwards putting one of
his hands in his pocket. Reed then
effected his escape from the room and
found himself in the back yard of the
premises. AS he was looking for an
outlet, he heard Tidrow call to him
and say, "Hold on, Alonzo, Pm get
ting blind ?n Alonzo turned round,
and asked him what was the matter,
and he said that Edwards had stabbed
him. TidrOw then went into a little
back room, where man was leaning
over table half asleep, and put his
hands upon him. Reed went out in
to the street for help, and when he re-
turned, Tidro was dead. Deputy Sher-
if Sanchez arrested Edwards, and the
body of the murdered man was taken
to the Station House. The knife with
which the wound was inflicted is a
medium-sized pocket-knife, with a
dirk-shaped blade. The post-mortem
examination disclosed that the knife
had entered the left breast, between
the fourth and fifth ribs, taken q
downward range and severed the curve
of the aortal artery, producing inter
nal eXtravasation. A fellow named
Wallace was arrested on the premises
last evening, but he turned out to be
mere worthless hanger-on, and not
criminally connected with the trans.
action. The jury returned q verdict
that the deceased came to his death
from knife wound inflicted by Frank
Edwards. Edwards was held to await
the action of the Grand Jury.

The October and November
Elections.

Governor Hendricks is, for the
once, honest and frank. He does
not attribute the victory in Indiana
on Tuesday last to Democratic con-
versions, but 10 the indifference OF
Republicans. They stayed away
from the polls, while their Demo
cratic opponents came forward, as
they always do, and voted " early
and often" He wisely concludes
that Democratic victory in 1874 by
no means insures q similar victory
in 1876, and tells the newly.elected
officials that they must do some
thing TO secure favor and confidence,
or in two years they may find them
selves in a:sad minority. We have
no doubt that the returns will show
the vote to have been comparative
ly light one as whole, and that
though the full strength, or very
near the full strength, Of the Demo
cratic party was cast, the aggregate
vote has materially fallen off. We
are at a loss to understand how
Republicans can excuse them
selves from voting in these days.
Always religious duty, an Obliga-
ton which citizen should ever OBJ
serve, it is peculiarly incumbent up
on him TO exercise this power now.
and to exercise it with care and fidel-
ity. There are dangers abroad, thick
and still accumulating in the path of
the Republic. IL needs the help of
every man to avert the ills which
threaten us. We do not take the
gloomy view of the future which
some writer's indulge in, and perhaps
for this reason their confidence in the
people is lost. Ours is an abiding
faith which does not falter. But we
do not lose sight Of the fact that they
are to have their patriotism and fl
deity to free government fearfully
tested, and that very many will
prove unequal to the strain.-Iater

our College opened on the 9Th Of

The German college Of this place

German N. l.. Ministers from
abroad being present. Everything
passed of pleasantly, and today the
institution is in running order with
about fifty or sixty students, most Of
whom are German preachers. This
institution is under the supervision
Of Prof. G.. Z. Wiley, and seems TO
be doing exceedingly well.
The Seminary, another institution
Of learning at this place, opened on
the 9th of Sept, the same day that
our University opened, and with
every prospect Of adding another to
it, many successful years. "A large
number Of students are in attendance,
and many more than ever before.
This is one Of the oldest institutions

lowered over and along its pathway
it has emerged at length into the

Crop saved Grcn Gsasshoppers
by Smoke.

Mr.. M. Connolly, an enterprising
farmer living on the banks of Red
River, five miles north Of Breckin-
ridge, informs the Fergus Falls,
Mimi, AdUocdte that the grasshop-
pers settled on his sixty acre field of
grain one day, and after walking
around his field, a short time, and
feeling pretty blue, he concluded to
try the effect of smoke upon them.
The prairie to the windward of his
grain had not been burned last sea-
son, and he applied the match to the
old grass, which together with the
grown crop, is admirably adapted to
the purpose Of raising a smoke. The
result justified his most sanguine
hopes. No sooner did the smoke
overspread the field than the war
mints' rose like cloud but very
naturally settled down again just be-
yond the reach of the smoke.
This experiment determined his
course. Every fifteen or twenty
rods through his grain-field was a
strip of ground that had been occu-
pied by movable fence, as each
successive years breaking was add
ed to his Geld. He put his team to
work hauling straw from an old
straw-stack, and hauling it along at
intervals in these unoccupied strips.
When the whole field was thus made
ready the match was applied as
simultaneously as possible at all
points. The grasshoppers rose in a
great swarm, and lowered over the
field. They tried to settle in places
but the smoke was too much for
them. The team was kept at work
adding damp straw from the stack
to all the smudges.
The fight which began in the after
noon, was kept up till night, and Mr..
Connolly was ready to renew 1t on
the following morning. The hop
pers left his fields, and Mr.. G. is con-
fldent he can save his rop.-Honae-
