HOW THEY DRINK IN THE BILLS.
Terrible Scene in a Mining Town
Three Men Mad With Rum.
Idaho city World, Nov. o.

Idaho city World, Nov. o.
At an early hour one morning last
week VIM. Paxton, City Marshal, who
had Just retired. was aroused by a wild,
haggari-looking man, hatless, coatless,
bootlcss, with hair disheveled and eyes
rolling in mad frenzy lie was armed
with "a revolver, and said that party Of
four men and two women had driven to
his house in a wagon and had attempted
TO rob him. and that in scll-deiense he
killed one of the men, when the others
tumbled the dead body into the wagon
and rapidly drove away. His object was,
he said, to give himself up to the au-
thorities for the killing. Paxton soon
discovered that the unfortunate map
was in the mental storm and suffering
the full torments Of that most terrible Of
all diseases, the delirium tremens, and to
pacify him went with him TO the scene
OF the conflict TO see the tracks left by
the wagon. Ii is almost needless TO say
that the said tracks were in the red-hot
imagination Of the horror-racked man,
and OF course the City Marshal failed TO
see them. Paxton then went home, and
soon the man had another paroxysm and

CAsSIUs III. CLAY'S CRIME.
The Other Side Of the stOry-What His
Colored Eeighbors Have to Say.

Persons knowing the sad descent Of
7 Cassius N. Clay during late years, feel
certain that there are two sides to the
story Of his murder Of Perry White Mr.
Clays version has been given with the
minutest detail, and widely copied by the
press.
The other side OF the s., ry, told by the
cOlorod people, is furnished me today by
a gentleman in whom / place tho most
implicit confidence Thus far there has
been nothing offered to corroborate Mr..
Clay's word, and h.s late career bars tho
plea OF an illustrious name as a sufficient
guarantee that he is above suspicion.
He is a man Of violent, uncontrolled
passions. The scandal attending the res
idence at the Russian court compelled
his recall, and he was soon after followed
home by woman, bringing with her
son, whom Clay acknowledged 10 be his
son. The result was that Mrs. Clay left
her husband, and soon after the poor,
broken hearted Russian woman died.
This son appears on the stage as ian
adopted SON Clay assigns as the reason
for the murder that Perry White had
threatened his life Whites neighbors
say they do not believe he had threaten
ed it, and Clay does not assign a sulh-
cient motive for such a threat, viz: the
discharge OF Whites mother as cook
To the easy going colored man that would
not be considered much Of n calamity.
The other side" presents a new feature.
IL is asserted that Clay kept q mistress
young woman Of twenty-and Perry
White, who was in love with her, was
anxious to get her away from Clay Here
was an all-poweriul motive to stir Clay,
such as led to the siege Of Troy. Clay
resented the interference OF White and
sent word to Whites father that IL his
son ever came upon his place again he
would shoot him. This word did not
reach the sol. lie kept horse i'm Clay
pasture and on that fatal Sabbath morn
ing Clay expecting him to come after his
horse armed himself, as the adopted
SON says with two pistols aud a double
barroled sho. gun, went out 10 the barn
and watched awhile for him. On going
a second time he saw Perry by his horse,
aud told him to hold up Lis hands or ho
woIld shoot him Perry started for
Clay. as is supposed to beg for his life,
and Clay shot him twice. Such is the
story of "the other side. Is il not more
credible than that given by Clay
Is there Justice in Kentucky ? Not Tor

From the Columbus Heuld.l

"He serves his party best who serves
his country best" This is tue; but il
is equally true that If the party is right,
then he who serves his party best err ss

Now II President Hayes, whose service
so far has all Injured to the benefit Of the
Democratic party, Is in th 3 way serving

thing for him to do is to declare himself
a Democrs for in his opinion service to
the Democ tic p r y must be incumbent
upon him on account Of his desire TO
serve his country. To pretend to lie a

II be believes he can serve his country
only by serving the Democratic party,
there is a strong temptation 20 keep up
the pretence Of being a Republican; for

not only have arrayed against him the

If he still thinks that upon the whole
the Republican party is better than its
opponent, then his position is indeed
painful one; for his whole course has
tended to disintcgrate and destroy the
Republican organization, and render the
Democracy invincible both in the State
and in the nation. What shall he DO
