COW BOYS.
A Serious and Fatal Difficulty
at Caldwell. rs.

Caldwell, KS, 17.-One Of those ter
rible border shooting ARRAYS occurred in
this city about / O'Clock this afternoon,
resulting in the death of Mike Meaeher,
former mayor of this city, and George
Speer, Q gambler. The particulars can
not be obtained in the general excitement
that prevails, even at this late hour; but
1t seems that last night and this morning
a party Of cow boys, Sheenan, alias -
Jem Martin, Bob MunsiDg and Bsgtree,
with George Speer and fellow named
Low were drinking and carousing.
About o'clock this morning they began
to show disposition to raise row, and
as preliminary move. George Speer
shot of his revolver into the sidewalk on
Main street. Through the efforts OF
the police the disturbance was suppressed,
and as precaution, additional police
men were put on, among them Mike
Meagher. About o'clock, the party
above named turned loose and began to
shoot iDdiscriminately. Talbot shot
Mesgher from the rear ofthe bank build
ing, killing him instantly. The citizens
turned out at once with such guns as
they could get hold of, and attempted to
take IN the party who, In the meantime,
had proceeded to livery stable, COM
PEELED the man in attendance to give
them horses, mounted and started off.
Speer attempted to saddle q horse near
the red light dance house, and while
doing 80 was shot by some Of the citi-
zenE. The others struck off in the direc-
! ten of Hunnewall, about six miles south.
| A detachment of citizens took up the pur-
suit and espied the four fleeing cowboys.
Il is likely they will be taken, and if
brought back alive nothing will save
them from pulling hemp. The excite
| ment here is intense, and the present dis
position is to make the aiders and abet-
tors of the murderous gang pull on. from
this neighborhood.
Wellington, Kas., 17.-Jim Talbot,
who shot Meagher in the fight, with the
cowboys, was one Of the leaders Of the
element that wanted to hang Danford
without giving him an opportunity to
| settle, and WIS one of the leaders Of the
party who taok Danford from the sheriff
at this point. Dave Speer belonged to
the Speer family Of Caldwell, who are Ell

q G.adstoue's Opinion. n

London, II. ALBERT Gladstone,
junior lord Ct the treasury, speaking at
Manchester last evening, said be found
during his tour there was very crest ex-
aggeration in England in regard to the
condition Of Ireland. The slarnists, he
said, took their standard from the worst
county. The srrests had produced a
striking and remarkable in the districts
where they were made. He blamed the
landlords for not cooperating with the
government in taking strong measures
He did not think more coercisn was
needed, and the talk Of martial law was
absured. The alteration of the jury sys-
tenn would be worse than useless. The
mot rent" movement was not deep root
ed and wAs only kept up By intimida-
dalton. Re believed the prospect was
decidedly favorable.

No Presidential Timber.

Washington, 17.-Politicians, apropo:
ofthe nomination of Lawyer Brewster az
attorney general, are commenting on the
fact that not one of the three rev mem
bers Of the cabinet selected by President
Arthur has Presidential aspirations, or
so far sscan now be judged, is likely 20
have any such aspiration. This fact is
noted IS a new departure in the direction
of procuring harmony in cabinet coun-
ellis. While the President has selected
men Of acknowledged ability il the re-
publican party, he has thus fer eppsr-
emily guarded against the danger Of a
split being created by his eounselOrs
entertaining belief that Presidential
lightning is playing Ia their vicinity. 1t
Is generally understood by politicians
who are nearest TO him, that when the
cabinet is completed no Presidential TIM

course 1t IS suggested that one Of Erthur's
main motives o. thus excluding Presl-
dental tim Der from his csbiDet, is 10 pro-
mote his own chsnce for nomination in

not entertain that idea.
