PORTLAND, November 80.-The particu-
lars of a shocking casualty at Spokane
Falls, Washington Territory, are just re-
ceived. During the absence of Mrs. Lieu
tenant Kinzie from home, her son aged 6
years, amused himself by playing with a
Sharpe's rifle, which was unloaded. The
little fellow Don discovered a cartridge,
put it in the rifle, and pointed the rife at
Bessie Quinn, a girl aged 10 years. living
in the house, and pulled the trigger. The
weapon discharged, and the ball passing
through her heart, killed her instantly.
The girl had the infant of Mrs. Kinzie in
her arms at the moment. which was badly
powder-burned.

A SUDDEN FUNERAL.
HOW A WRETCH PAYS TIE PENALTY IN
RAPIDES.

On Sunday morning, the Sd inst, a
girl eleven years of age, named Frances
Randall, left the home of her foster
father, Mr.. L. Morgan, who resides
about three miles above Pineville, Ra-
pides parish, for the purpose of seeking
a turkeys nest. As the girl failed to
return, a strict but futile search of the
Rigolette swamps was made on Tuesday
As the party was returning from the
hunt they bethought themselves to drag
a small creek which followed by Mr..
Morgan's hOnse. In a short time the
body of the unfortunate girl was brought
to light, and then it was discovered that
she had been subjected to horrible
outrage, murdered, and then thrown in
to the creek.
Suspicion fell on mulatto named
Champ Randall, aged 90 years, who re-
sided in Mr.. Morgan's house, and he
was at once arrested. An inquest was
held and a verdict rendered by the jury
that death had resulted from a blow on
the head inflicted by Champ Randall, af.
ter having committed a nameless crime
on the little girls person. On Wednes-
day last a party having Randall in charge
neared the ferry at Pinevile, when
number of men appeared in the path
and called a halt. A court was organ
lied and twelve jurors appointed, who
proceeded to try the negro.
Two hours were thus consumed when
alverdict of guilty was rendered. Ran
dial requested time to say his prayers
which was granted, and he knelt, but,
as if for that purpose, watching his
chance, he sprang to his feet and at
tempted to escape. He was, however,
anticipated in this movement and re-
captured. The next morning Randals
body was found swaying from limb.
Justice of the Peace Watts held an in
quest and returned q verdict that death
had resulted from hanging at the hands
of parties unknown.-N. 0. States.
