lars of the shooting of the man Cook, or Smith

Drew thsmine they were searching for was
little further on, and finally by his avoiding
observation, and being hailed by passers-by
by strange names, Drew's suspicious were
aroused Cook knew Drew had considerable
money on his person. Between 8 and
o'clock on Tuesday afternoon they had
reached point about seven miles from Faie's
Hot Spring. Smith, with his load, was ahead
and out of sight. The other team was jogging
along at moderate gait, when Cook sudden
ly remarked that he saw deer behind some
bushes about 200 yards up the mountain, and
asked for the rife, that he might go up and
kill it. Drew said he would go himself as he
was the best shot. BE got out of the wagon
and started for the clump Of bushes. Upon
arriving at the spot he saw nothing, and
could see no track OF deer any other
animal. In returning he took Diagonal cut
ahesd, crossed small stream and beckoned
to Cook to drive ahead and over'ake i'm.
Cook took up the reins with his left hand
and drove along. When Drew was within

Cook in the side. He fell over the dashboard

horses began to run, and after going about
six rods Cook fell to the ground. AS soon as
he touched the earth he discharged another
shot Drew then walked up to him and
struck him on the head with the butt end OF
the rifle. This did not settle Cook, for he
raised up again to FIRE, when Drew took de-

man in the temple. Drew left Cook a corpse,
and upon catching the team be hurried to the
Hot Springs, where he informed Smith of

Board OF Agriculture, said that he was
satisfied the interests of the agricultural
department Of the University had been sadly

branches of the institution that the debates

ment establishing the University plainly in
dicased that this department should De equal
in all respects to any pertaining to "letters,"
and its benefits made available to poor farm
ers' boys He said he intended to see to it
that tie department bs placed at standard
equal to that of the other departments.
Mr.. Boggs said that he had noticed that the
standard Of the agricultural department OF the
University had been placed lower than that
of the College Of Letters, and that the latter
had absorbed all the funds of the University,
to the detriment of the agricultural depart
ment He was gratiied that the Regent who
is on the State Beard of Agriculture had
taken notice of the matter.
Mr.. Carr being in the chair, resolutions
were passed recommending Mr.. Shafter for
the Presidency of the University, and urging
upon the Board Of Regents the enlargement
OF the College Of Agriculture and the full
ful6llment OF the declared object of the Con-
gressional grant of $50, 600 acres of land-the

DECAMPED.

Some time ago there arrived In this
city two men who annouAced them
selves as Drs. Rutledge and Pethy-
bridge, the great London physicians.
They engaged two of the best rooms
in the Clayton House, and then had
thousands of circulars printed, setting
forth their ability to cure and locate
all diseases that the human form is
heir to without ever asking u question.
These circulars were distributed all
over the city, and in short time the
''great London physicians" were be-
sieged by uDsuspectiDg patients.
They did thriving business, and
succeeded in obtaining sums ranging
from $40 to $50 from their patients, in
return for which they gave them a
preparation which, when analy zed.
proved to be nothing but alumni and
water.
Toward the latter part Of last month
they announced their intention of leav-
ing this city for Wheeling, w. Va,
aud told their patients that all direc-
tons as to their whereabouts would be
answered at the Clayton House. In
quiries fail to divulge their present
abiding place. In leaving here they
left several unpaid bills.
