Some time ago it was given out that
Michael OLaughlin, living on French
prairie, had died at his sisters residence
The funeral was duly celebrated at the
church, though the coffin was not opened
since the deceased requested that it be
not done, as he did net want his wife to
take last look at him. They had quar-
relied some time ago and were divorced.
In due time, at the request of the wife
of the deceased, E. S. Gregoire was ap-
pointed administrator of the estate. The
administrator commenced settling up tbe
business as required by law when ru-
mors reached him that O'Laughlin was
not dead, but had been seen since his
alleged funeral. The grave has been
opened and the cofin-hd taken off, when
lo-and-behold the carcass OF a sheep
was disclosed. No criminal intent is as
cribed to the parties IN this transaction.
and it is explained by the fact that
OLaughlln is a very eccentric person.
and perhaps desired to spite his divorced
wife. 1t is supposed that he is with friends
in Illinois.-Salen, (Oregon) Statesman

A LOVERS DISSERTATION.

A Boy, Crd=ed tcih jealousy and Liquor.
Sets Oaa to Erterminate a Community.
Harrisburg (Pa.) Cor. New York Herald
The shooting affair on Saturday even
ing at York, about thirty miles south of
this city, by which six persons were in
jured, was the result of a drunken de-
bauch, complicated with emotions allied
to jealousy, awakened in the breast of
Frank Frey, who had formed an attach
ment for Ole Cradle, young woman
employed at the National Hotel laundry,
Frey, who is only Is years old, formed
the ACQUAINTANCE of Miss Cradle about
three weeks ago, and Immediately won
her affections. A week after he COM
planned to friend that the woman was
keeping other company, and that he was
jealous in consequence. On Sunday he
called on her while intoxicated, and she
upbraided him for his inebriety, and said
that If he did not abandon the cup she
would discard him.
He replied that if she carried out her
intentions he would prepare bullet for
her and himself. He then f1ourished a
razor and knife which he said he carried
"for certain person who has talked
about you," and, continuing, he re-
marked, 81 would wade through blood
for you, but if you refuse to keep my
company 1 will end your days, and then
will kill myself, and we will die together"
Before his departure the woman forgave
him for his conduct, and they separated
on good terms The same night he
signed the temperance pledge, and last
week he called on Miss Cradle every
night with one exception.
On Saturday evening he addressedher
pleasantly, after which he offered ring
he had just purchased. She declined to
accept it, which appeared to offend him.
She finally took the ring, and, while
placing it on the forefnger of her left
hand, Frey placed the muzzle of seven
shooter against her breast, and, without
another word, fired
Although the woman supposed she
had been dangerously wounded, the ball
had simply penetrated her clothing and
grazed the skin. Last night it was dis

ForestaIliDe Disease,

When we see that death is so often the pen
atty paid for fatuous disregard of the symp-
toms of approaching disease, should we not be
warned against the folly of neglectlng defensive
measures when called for in our own case? As
suredly we should, and upon the first manifes-
tation of ill-health or decay of physical vigor
seek the aid of medicine. The fortifying infu-
Bitters entitle that medicine of many virtues to
the highest consideration as preventive, and
it cannot be too strongly recommended as a
means of arresting the progress of malarious
fevers, dyspepsia, constipation, liver complaint,
kidney and bladder troubles, govt, rheumatism,
and other disorders which in their incipiency
are far more easily overcome than in their ma
turity-albeit the great Alternative has repeat
eddy demonstrated its power to vanquish them
in their worst phases.

covered in her undergarments. He
then discharged bullet into the breast
of Mrs. Bella Reilly, employed in the
laundry, who was standing about ten
feet from him. The lady run short
distance and fell down from sheer
fright, exclaiming, "Im shot y The
desperate then went outside, and, meet
ing Joseph Neeley, stranger, he again
raised the pistol and discharged it into
the mans left breast, the ball lodging
between the skin and the upper rib.
He next shot in the breast Thomas
Craig, colored porter, who was carry
ing ladder. He received the most dan
gerous wound of all those who had been
injured. Frey next put ball into
Joseph Erney's chest, after which he
entered cigar store, and discharged
the revolver again, without killing any
one, however. He was soon after dis
armed by a man, in doing which the last
ball in the pistol was discharged into
Frey's hand.
The latter then remarked that he had
accomplished his work and was pre-
pared to surrender. While speaking,
Joseph Erney, one of the injured men,
knocked him down with a stone, and,
had it not been for the interposition of
the police. Frey would probably have
been killed.
It is not believed that any of the shots
will prove fatal, owing to the fact that
the slugs were too small for the cham
bers of the revolver with which the
firing was done. Had they been of the
requisite size, at least four of the per
sons hit would have been killed.

during the cold weather now approaching.
These goods are the handsomest and most

load his horse with anything like food.

SITTING BULL PHOTOGR
He is the contradiction of the twaddle
which has been published about him.
Dark and swarthy, his straight black
hair falling down upon his shoulders,
his beardless face and strongly marked
countenance, all betoken the pure
blooded savage. He stands five feet ten
inches in his moccasins, and is splendid
~ proportional. A few wrinkles can be
seen on his face, but not enough to
create an appearance of age. The one
peculiarly of his face is in his almost
Roman features, which heightens the
air of intelligence and adds to the al
most judicial gravity of his counrenance.
The one drawback to his really fine
bearing is pair of bowed legs, a pc
cr,liarity possessed by nearly every In
dian horseman. 1 had heard that Sit
ting Bull was club-footed, a scholar, a
half-breed, graduate of West Point.
He is none of these he is an untutored

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-OrsoD Pratt,
the Mormon apostle, who recently ar
rived from England, left this city yes
terday for Utah, accompanied by Jo-
seph +. Smith, nephew of the pro-
phet Joseph Smith. Mr.. Pratt is ap-
parently 90 years of age, and possesses
expressive features. He wears a flow
ing beard, and has ruddy cheeks and
keen eyes for his age. His movements
are characterized by remarkable vigOr
and activity. The tone of his voice is
deep and sOnOroCs, and he speaks with
the air of a man of almost unlimited
authority. His general appearance
and demeanOr partake more of the
politician or wealthy possessor of
mining stocks than "a clerical digui.

ism, and expressed his entire satisfac.
ton in the recent success in the

especially to superintend the publiea-
ton of new and elegant edition of

Prophets death he was summoned to
return. Together with the other apos-
ties he had much business to attend to
before the conference in October. The
work in Great Britain he pronounced
to be most prosperously advancing.

being out-of-towners. AS they sat
down Thomas took one of James

to 60 on without a word of protest,
and the flaxen-haired youth finally
seized the other one. They talked and
talked, and looked down upon the
street, and sighed. and the hours slip
ped away. At the end of the third
hour she said:
Tommy, dearest, I want to ask you
something
ASK me a hundred-a thousand
million things!' be exclaimed in re-
ply.
We'll, Tommy, I've got an awful

The Hardest Man in Colorado.

hardest man in Colorado Is conceded
by large majority to be the stone
man dug up near Pueblo on last Sun
day. The finder, who is a resident OF

exhibition here. Barnum, who is de-
livering a lecture here tonight, has
offered Mr.. Conant $4,000 for his
prize, but the latter wants S25, ,0OO.-
Public sentiment is divided as to
whether the stone man is a petrefac-
tion, or was chiseled out by the pre-
histories or somebody else not quite
so historic, but the msjority seem to
think that his stoneship once lived,
moved, and had his being.
