A DEMAND FoR HsMp.-This unusually
serene and peaceful village was last night
the scene of one Of the most cowardly v and
dastardly acts that ever >snlied its fair
name. At about $3.50 last night the house
of Mr.. Thomas Dowel. a highly respecta
able and peaceful citizen, was fired into
from the street by some blood-thirsty vii
liam or Williams, and the inmates had n mar
row escape from becOming victims OF the
wonld-be assassins' deadly aim. That the

blooded and cowardly murder there can be
but little doubt, as two shots from heav-
Ily-loaded shot-gun came crashing

Dowell and her daughter Aggie were sit
ting near 1t, and Mr.. Dowell was lying OF
the bed on the opposite side of the room
just opposite the window-and being on the
ground floor can be easily seen from the
street. Tile shattered and flying glass and
some OF the scattering shot struck the ladies
about the head and face, which produced
some painful cuts and scratches, but moth
ing very serious The bed upon which Mr..
Dowell was lying was fairly peppered with
good-sized shot, but strange to say Mr..
Dowell remained untouched. 80 far

mains a profound mystery. 1t is to be
hoped that the authorities and all good
citizens who believe In law and order will
cooperate and leave 10 stone unturned in
bringing the guilty parties to a speedy re-
tribution. Such mnrdernus acts of law
lessness and cowardice would disgrace our
frontiers much less justly proud, law
