LeprOsy!

Some of the residents of Big Stone coun-
ty have petitioned the Board of County
Commissioners to remove one Samuel
Isene from their midst 1t is claimed by
the petitioners that Isene is leper, and
they therefore ask his removal. AS far as
we can learn, it appears that Isenes
parents are lepers, aud live in Norway.
His children go to school, and the people
are afraid that the disease may spread.
Doctors, however, do not seem to think
the disease contagious, but of course be-
fore any thing is done in the premises,s "a
physician will have 10 be sent to examine
the party and ascertain whether it is or is
not leprosy.
Later-The physicians who were sent to
examine the case, pronounce it leprosy.

Fatal Result of an Editorial Shot

Special to the Star
MADISON, IND, Oct. 18.-Ex-Treasurer
Howard's right leg and the index finger of
his left hand were both amputated by sur
geons last evening in consequence-of shots
inflicted by Editor Simpson, of the Even
ing Star. Four physicians were in attend
ance upon the wounded man last night,
and they give out that the chances are all
against his recovery.
The collision between Simpson and How
ard was the result of a feud of long stand
ing. The Star attacked Howard's record.
and this led to street encounter between
the two men three months ago, in which
Howard attacked and SO severely beat
Simpson that he was laid up for several
days. The Star continued its attacks upon
Howard however, and Thursday night
Howard assaulted Simpson on the street
again with his cane, knocking him down
and beating him severely.
Simpson, however, recovered his feet, and
drawing his pistol fired four shots at his
adversary, wounding him in the hand and
leg. Simpson at once surrendered to an
officer and Howard was conveyed home.
Simpson was subsequently released on
$1,000 bail. His weapon was a 38 calibre,
Bull Dog" Howard, it is said, in the
encounter also drew pistol and fired with
out effect
John L. McFetridge, Simpsons assistant
editor, who was present, was also arrested,
as Howard charges that he fired one of the
shots which struck him. The pistol found
on McFetridge, however, is only twenty
two caliber, and the surgeon says Howards
wounds were made with larger ball. Nc
Fetridge was released with like bail.
LArER.-Howard died this morning and
Simpson and McFetridge have both been
raarrnstea
