4 WESTERN sTREET TRAGEDY.
shooting OF q YOnBg Girl in Chey.
enne, Wyoming Territory.
| m ........ -. T.,a Ar


Last evening, shortly after eight |
o'clock, Miss Jennie Martin, a sis
ter-in-law of our city clerk, George
B. Simpson, and aged fifteen years,
walked up Seventeenth street. She
was leading her sisters child, and
was with Miss Minnie Montgom-
cry, a girl of about the same age.
Reaching Eddy street the two
crossed it, and at Underwood and
McGregor's corner turned to 60 up
Eddy street, intending to visit the
Catholic church, Miss Montgomery
noticed several colored boys playing
in the center of the street but paid
no attention to them. The girls
walked along and had gotten but a
few yards from the cOrner-Miss
Montgomery being on the outer
edge of the walk, with the child
between her and Miss Martin
when, the latters head being turned
slightly toward the building, shot
was fired almost in Miss Montgom-
ery's face, and her companion fell
upon the walk, 4 small round hole
lin the right temple, near to and a
little above the eye, showing where
the bullet had entered the brain Of
the unfortunate girl. Miss Mont
gomery at once screamed for aid,
and, before it reached her, en-
deavored to raise the body herself,
the right hand Of the Murdered girl
still clasping that of her little rela-
tive. go
People rushed to the spot, and
I the corpse was conveyed first to
Fred Landau's market, when, after
the face had been washed, it was
taken to Mr.. Simpsons residence,
where an inquest will be held upon
it to-day. m
AT first speculation was rife as tC
how and by whom the deed wa
( committed. Two or three ladie
t who were walking on Ferguson
9 street heard the shot, and immedi
E ately after met a man running a
9 headlong speed in the direction 0
: the depot. 1t was thought by somt
, that he had fired the fatal shot
9 probably by accident, and, becom
a ing alarmed, was hurrying to catcl
i some outbound train, Our vigil
: ant sheriff, Nick 0'Brien, was OF
: hand, however, and within an hoI
t after the commission of the act thu
8 suspected party was safely lodged
y in Jail. It proved to be a young
u colored hoodlum named Butler.
n A rather we'll authenticated re
l port reaches us to the effect tina
7: young Butler has made threat
Il against the life of Miss Martin, an(
}; if this be true, there can be IL,
a doubt but that he committed tn
u fearful act deliberately
e1 quietly upon his victim, taking
T. only too sure aim, aud pulling tn
e trigger with the GOODNESS and skill
'e Of a practiced marksman, W
II hope it was not a planned murder
l. but even if accidental the boy, 0
j those who allow him to carry
IS deadly weapon, should suffer 70
20 this annallinp act.

Henry Ward Beecher on the Bible
in tho Schools.

From Lecture in Troy, N. VI
The bible is not a good school
book. 1t was not meant to be q
reading-book in the schools. Let
it be read if it is the wish of all. Or
let all sects meet and choose men to
make selections and put them in a
book to be read in the schools. If
there is objection to bible-reading
there should be no controversy,
But it would be said, would you
have the schools goddess? The
answer is, is God shut up in the
bible, and there alone? Let the life
and character of the teacher be an
epitome of bible truth, and the
school will not be goddess. 0ul
schools should not be optional. II
is the duty of the State to see that
every child passes through the
school to the ballot box, Let all
go to the schools, from the highest
to the lowest, and let the hands O.
intelligence be laid upon their heads
in blessing. 'o
