zOLLICoFFER.
Shot by a SharpshOOter, and Not by
Speed S. Fry.

Lexington Press.
Gen. Speed s. Fry, of Danville, KY,
has the reputation of having killed
General Zollicoffer, at tho battle of
Mill Springs, January 10, 1862, and it
is thought his promotion from colonel
to brigadier- general was the result of
the deed. Sheriff G. w. Sweeney, of
Casey county, who was in the city yes
terday, however, says that he was
within rod of General Zollicoffer
when he fell from his horse heard all
that passed between him and Colonel
Fry before the shooting saw Fry
when he fed knew the caliber of his
pistol afterwards saw the pistOl-shot
wound in Zollicoffer's leg. and knows
that this wound alone would not have
disabled him from active service when
dressed.
Major Sweeney narrates the incl
dents of that day as follows: lie was
standing about sixty feet from Colonel
Fry during the battle, when he saw a
countryman, followed by sixteen or
eighteen men similarly dressed ,advanc-
ing rapidly on the right, who, when
close enough, threw up his right hand
and said: : "Colonel Stanton, those are
our own men you are firing upon.
Colonel Fry discovering that he had
been mistaken for the colonel of a
Mississippi regiment, replied 4" Yes,
they are our own men and so are you y
firing his forty-two- -calibre pistol at
the same time. General Zollicoffer
being without arms, except his sword,
turned to ride away, when Corporal
Geo. Cabal, of Company A, First
Kentucky U. S. Volunteers, sharp
shooter, raised his Minnie rifle and
fired, striking General Zolliooffer Just
under the shoulder blade ranging
upward, the ball passing through the
body near the heart and out in front.
General Zollicoffer fell forward over
his horses shoulders into the road.
When his body was ordered to the
rear it was examined and two wounds
found upon it-one by a Minnie ball,
as described, the other a small wound
in the calf Of the log. Corporal Cabal
was afterward killed at Lebanon, KY,
May 5, 1902, when Minnie ball struck
him in the breast just at the point
where his ball emerged from the body
of General Zollicofer, followed the
same range and came out Just at that
point where his ball entered the body
of his victim.

Bronze Monument Proposed for
the Late Prince Imperial.
Anarchy In Southern EpiruS.
HanIan and the Cup Probably Coming to
Canada.

MADRID, June 23.-The budget,
which will be presented to Cortes on
the 25th, will show deficit and will
propose new taxes.
LONDON, June 23.-The Post pro
poses a national subscription to raise
a monument to the memory of the
Prince Imperial. A bronze statue,
representing the prince in the uni
form in which he died, is suggested.
Major Cavagnagri has arrived at
Simla and will start for Cabul early in
July. The ameer will send an escort
to Shulargardan Pass to meet him.
Complete anarchy prevails in Southern
Epirus.
Colonel Shaw urges that Hanlan be
allowed to take the cup to Canada and
calls on Englishmen who wish to con
test it to row Hahlan in Canada.
LONDON, June 23.- The government
authorities received an anonymous
letter Wednesday, giving warning that
an attempt would be made in Ches-
shire to upset the train conveying
Queen Victoria and the princess from
Balmoral to Windsor on Saturday. The
railway line was consequently guarded
by hundreds of constables. The jour
ney, however, was uneventful. The
letter was probably a hoax.
A Paris dispatch says the embar-
rassment of the Bonapartists is in
creasingly manifest. Paul De Cassag-
nae is reproached with indiscretion
in putting forward the claim Of Prince
Victor Bonaparte to the imperial
succession In Sundays issue De
Cassagnac admits that nothing has
been officially decided, though, per-
haps the decision may be made in 9
few days.
1t is believed that Rouhr announced
inference of the will in favor of Prince
Victor, because he considered its
validity unless Prince Jerome Napo
leon consents to waive him the claim
Prince Jerome is very reticent since
his arrival in Paris, and is apparently
awaiting the action of Rouhr. 1t i,
not believed that Prince Jerome viii
agree to be the pretendor himself OF
permit his son to become one. In the
event of Prince Victor endeavorins
to temporizc in not distinctly accept
ing the position of a Bonapartist, II
will probably fall back On Prince
Charles Napoleon, president of the
Corsican council general. Prince
Charles is forty years Of age. He has
no sens or royal companions, and il
a much less eligible candidate thar

To Yankton and up tho N~iobrara-Then
r. Across to Cheyenne.
General G. D. Hill, secretary Of the Mis-.
souri, and Niobrara valley railroad company,
and ex surveyor general Of Dakota, who has
his headquarters at Washington, D. c., has
perfected a grand nationalexcursion through
ten states and the territories of Dakota,
Wyoming and Colorado. The trip will be
made by rail from Washington to Yankton
and from here across the country to Chey.
enne, by wagons, through the hunting re.
gion. The excursionists are expected ia
rendezvous here about the Goth of this
month and the wagon train will start as soon
thereafter as the necessary arrangements can
be completed. General Hill writes. that
there is every indication that a large party
will make the trip, and he will be here in a
few days to provide for their comfort. The
route from Yankton will probably be up the
beautiful Niobrara valley to the hunting
grounds about the headwaters of that stream
and the north fork of the Cheyenne. After
the party has enjoyed itself sufficiently rec.
reating on the plains it will proceed to
Cheyenne and take the Union Pacific cars
for the east.

The Dakota Southern Lops on Twenty
Five Per Cent fer the Beneflt OF
Yankton. .
Through the efforts of Superintendent
Merchant. OF the Dakota Southern railroad.
Q greatly reduced tariff on through freights
from Chicago to Yankton and from Yank-
ton east has been arranged and will 60 into
effect without much delay. This is a per.
manent arrangement. Mr.. Merchant was
here last night and distributed among our
-merchauts aud other shippers a tabulated
statement Of the new rates, which shows
q reduction Of fully twenty five per cent on
all classes OF drought freight. incoming
and outgoing. This arrangement is Of vast
importance 10. Yankton. In effect it, will
enable US to sell goods at q reduction of
twenty FIVE per cent and to pay for grain an
advance of twenty-five per cent. We will
thus be enabled to reach cut into regions
which have 10 the past been closed against
through the superior advantages of
competing points. Nj. Merchants action
places, Ysnkton at once in . position TO pay
the mostfor produce and to charge the least
for supplies, a condition which will prove
not alone to Yankton, but to
the thousands of farmers who have made
our city their market and their supply de-
pot. We invite everybody with range Of
the circulation Of the Press and Dakolaian
to make note Of the fact that Ysnkton is
now in the field as the business competitor
Of all commercial centers and that it can do
better BY farmers and dealers than any 9th
er city In the southern half Of Dakota.
To Mr.. Merchant we desire to express our
obligations. He has done for Yankton and
the country tributary thereto the fair,
square thing. and that's enough TO call
forth gratitude.
