Another murder has been committee

Another murder has been committed
in Denver-a cold FLOODED, deliberate
murder. A man in the third ward, who
had a hated enemy, took advantage of
New Years to make that enemy's boy
e present. 1t was an ACCORDION, and
after two days of great suffering the
unfortunate father has passed away.
AT last accounts the boy and his instru.
ment were as healthy as ever, but the
poor widow and mother was not expect.

is yet at large.

satisfied. IN. B.-The Tribune's head

Bumped into Jelly Upon K. P. Railroad
Ties. .

On the 9th Of December a trackman
named John O'Neal got on the eastern
bound K. 2. passenger train at Chey-
emo Wells. He was left standing out
side of the smoking car. By some
means the poor fellow fell down between
the cars, and in his fall his right leg
was caught in the brake gear, and there
he dragged head downward, humping
over the ties. No one heard his call if
he ever uttered one, for his cry would
have been drowned in the turmoil and
clatter of the car wheels. He was found
at Arapahoe Station, a very much man
gled man. His head was a mutilated
mass of dust and humanity. One arm
had been torn off and lost, and the other
arm and the shoulders were badly mash
ed. He was 43 or A years of age ard
unmarried.

very scarce this season. He saw per-

they were very shy. Several cattle men
moved in upon the Republican last sea-

from the range at every opportunity.

General Crooks Return.

Gen. Crooks command reached Fet-
terman Dec. 29th.' The campaign, as
before stated, has closed, the hostiles
being too distant to be reached in this
weather.
The command left the Belle Fourche
on Dec. ODD, in very severe weather.
On Christmas the mercury froze in the
bulb. The animals suffered greatly
from want of forage, and a number of
mules were turned loose. The forage
train was met at Wind River creek on
the night of the a5th.
The Sioux and Arapahoe scouts re-
turned to Red Cloud OIL the ODD. Col.
Randall, with 70 Crows, met the col
umn near Pumpkin Buttes, but as their
services were not required they were
sent back. They report that the de-
struction of the Cheyenne village by
Mckenzie created a general stampede.
Five trails were passed, showing that
the Indians were scattering. Crazy
Horse is on the Little Missouri.
General Crook is satisfied with the
results of the campaign, as it has kept
the Indians on the move in the dead of
winter. He expresses the opinion that
the hostiles will not stand another cam
paign.
Friendly Indians, with a small col
umn Of troops, will finish the matter.
There is every reason to believe that a
large force can be raised among the
surrounding tribes when spring opens.

How New York Business Man Won
q New Orleans Maiden.

A curious case came up in the Court of
Common Pleas yesterday. Leopold Stern,
member of the modest guild of "com.
mercial travellers" has begun a suit against
his employers, Sartro & Newmark, of this
city, TO obtain S40O for special services
The story of the plaintiff is that one of the
members of the firm was enamored of a
maiden IN New Orleans. The claims of 5u-
siness were too urgent TO permit his absence
from this city; the demands Of love were
equally pressing. Loath to choose between
Cupid and cupidity, he finally selected
Stern as his matrimonial envoy, gave him
| carte blanche to conduct the wooing of the
Southern beauty, and, relying upon the
address OF his drummer" pursued the ev.
en- tenor of his business life. The CONNER
cial traveller was equal to the OCCASION
How he conducted this vicarious wooine
will forever remain m vstery. Suffice il
to say, that he put himself in his employ
er's place more adroitly than Charlie!
Reade's hero could have done. and wa,
present at the hymenial altar when bust
ness and beauty were made one flesh. Tn,
sentiment Of this story ended here; now en-
ters the sordid element. Before the honey
moon had woned Stern began to grow i'm
patient. His employer was painfully re
ticent about the pay for his services. Whel
q personal demand was made by Stern tn
ungrateful husband thought that $50
would full compensate for this specia
service in the Crescent City. The travele
would listen TO no such cheapening of hi
work, demanded 5000; was refused; henc
this suit.-N. Y. Tribune.

New York.

The different editions of The sun during tn e
next year will be the same as during the year
that has just passed. The daily edition will On
week days be a sheet of four pages, and on Sum
days sheet of eight pages, or 56 broad columns;
while the weekly edition will be sheet OF eight
pages of the same dimensions and character that
are already familiar to our friends. 0
THE SUN will continue to be the strenuou
advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of the
substitution of craftsmanship, wisdom, and in
tegrity for hollow pretence, imbecility, and
fraud in the administration OF public affairs 1t
will contend for the government OF the people
by the people and for the people, as opposed to
government by frauds in the ballot-box and in
the counting of votes, enforced by military vio-
lence. 1t will endeavor to supply its readers
a.body not for from million of sou1s-with the
most careful complete. and trustworthy ac-
counts of current events, and will employ for
this purpose numerous and carefully selected
staff of reporters and correspondents. Its re-
ports from Washington, especially, will be full,
accurate and fearless; and it will doubtless con-
tinue to deserve and enjoy the hatred OF those
who thrive by plundering the Treasury or by
usurping W hat the law does not give them, while
it will endeavor to merit the confidence of the
public by defending the rights of the people
The price of the daily SUN will be SIS cents a
month or &c. year, post paid, or with the
Sunday edition $40 year.
The SUNDAY edition alone, eight pages, 81

The WEEKLY Sun, eight pages of Sc broad
columns, will be furnished during 1877 at the
rate of 81 year, post paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from the
previous rate for THE WEEKLY can be enjoy ed
by individual subscribers without the necessity
of making up clubs. At the same time, If any
of our friends choose to aid in extending our
circulation, we shall be grateful to them, a6i
every such person who sends us ten or m6te
subscribers from one place will be entitled to
one copy of the paper for himself without
charge. At one dollar a year, postage paid, the
expenses of paper and printing are barely re-
paid; and, considering the size of the sheet and
the quality of its contents, we are confident the
people will consider THE WEEKLY Sun the
cheapest newspaper published in the world, and
we trust also one of the very best.

Language of Ears.

Large ears, hear things in general, and
denote broad, comprehensive views and
modes of thought; while small ears hear
things in particular, showing disposition
to indiydualize, often accompanied by the
love Of the minute. Large ears are usually
satisfied with learning the leading facts of
case, with the general principle involved
too strict an attention to the enumeration
of details especially all repetition of the
more unimportant, is wearisome to them.
People with such ears like general, and are
usually fitted to conduct large enterprises,
to receive and pay ont money in large sums;
they prefer to give with a free hand, with
out reference to the amount. Small ears on
the contrary, desire to know the particu-
lars of a story as we'll as the main facts:
take delight often in examining. handling
or constructing tiny specimens of workman
ship; are disposed TO be exact with respect
to inches and ounces, in buying or selling,
to the extent at least of knowing the exact
number over or under the stated measure
given or received. People with such ears
would, in most cases prefer retail to q
wholesale business.

months of i'll treatment, the horse became
unfit for work, and Mr.. Cate was forced to
give it to the offal contractor to be killed
To the offal wharf he led it, belaboring it
on the way with long stick. The horse
was tied, and one of the contractors men
raised the ak. As the blow fell On the
horses forehead the animal tore the rope
from its fastening. tottered for a moment
and then dashed the crowd Of idlers direct
for Cate. Terrified, Cate ran up the wharf,
the horse pursuing him to pile of lumber
in the ship yard on the opposite side. The
horse was almost on him with outstretched
neck and open jaws. and fire flashing from
his eyes. Cate doubled about the pile and
climbed on its top the horse tried to
spring after him. The effort, however, had
exhausted the horse, and it died with ita
fore feet resting on the pile.
Cate was so overcome that he had to be
carried down from the lumber A few day.
