At Fort Smith, Ark, three white men named
Brown, Padgett and McGowen, and two Greek
Indians named Able and Amos Manley, were
hanged for murder on the 9Th inst. Brown and
Padgett claimed to have committed their crimes
In self-defence. McGowen confessed to mur-
der, but did not kill the man he intended to.
The Manleys, who had heretofore denied the
charge of murder, confessed, and said they
were perfectly willing to die because it was
nothing more than going to sleep. The hang
ing was witnessed by about forty persons.

men two miles west of Gendale, and five miles
east Of Independence, No., at nine o'clock at
night, September z. The express messenger
was knocked down and terribly beaten
His safe was broken open and robbed Of
. large amount of money, variously
estimated at from $5, 900 to $50, 900. The pas
sengers on the train were also robbed Of
money and valuables. The train was stopped
by lantern signals, and the track
obstructed by stones and logs. The robbers
were heavily armed with guns and
revolvers, and kept up continual firing.

ten minutes. No one WAS injured except the
express messenger, whose injuries are thought
to be fatal. His name can not be learned at
this time. He bravely defended shis car.
and refused to open the safe. Several
shots were fired at Conductor Hazlebaker, but
he escaped unhurt. The train ran into Kansas
City and the alarm was given. The entire police
force of that city Immediately organized in a

A Call for Helm.

The victims of the forest fires in Michigan
have appealed to the people of the United
States for aid. Let the appeal be promptly
and literally responded to. Devastation and
death are on every hand, and all that can be

sustained. Property, crops, and everything
for miles have been swept away by the flames.

kept q calendar since his incarceration, by

fact. When asked by General Crocker how he
had managed to keep a record of the days, he
explained his method with considerable pride.
He has ascertained that the President has been
taken to Long Branch, which knowledge, we
are told, he has gained by stealth. He is now
given the liberty of the corridor, and rolling
his pants above hi knees, displays a leg in his
enormous strides that is said to be SO large as

4 young lady Of Johns town, n. Y,
while bathing at Chautauqua Lake, had a
novel experience. A swapping turtle
caught her by the ear. Her screams
brought friends to her assistance, or she
would certainly have been drowned; but
the turtles grip was like bull dog and
after his head had been cut off it took ten
minutes to pry the jaws apart. 1t will
take good deal of the poetry out of
bathing in Chautauqua Lake. Sharks at
Long Branch and Coney Island and snap
ping turtles at Chautahqua are not sooth-
ing to the nerves of timid bathers.
