An idaho Murder.
SALT LAKE, Sept. L. The Ti,i5une's
Wood River correspondent furnishes
the following: "Haiiey was the scene
of a most atrociOus murder on Tuesday,
the 18th ult. During quarrel Frank
Brown shot and killed +. NJ. Adams, a
prominent mining operator of Wood
River. 1t appears that Brown and a
man named Taylor had been quarreling
over mining sale, when Adams came
up and attempted to stop the quarrel.
An alteration ensued between Brown
and Adams, when the latter struck the
| former, and received in return a bullet
through his heart. After being shot,
Adams knocked Brown down. and was
giving him severe beating, when out
side parties interfered and separated
them. Adams then walked to a drug
store near by, aud fell, dying In few
moments. None Of the bystanders had
any idea that Adams was shot, as he
walked away as if he had come out best;
but on being examined it WAS found
that the bullet had pierced his heart. 1t
Was particularly sad, az he had just
closed large mining transaction, and
was to start for Chicago tho following
day 20 meet his wife. 1t is said that
Brown formerly lived in Utah, and has
wealthy relatives living in Omaha end
Denver. Public opinion varies; some
thinking Brown was justifiable, while
others are loud in their denunciatiOns
of the murder. All, however, agree that
murders and shooting are growing too
frequent ON Wood River, and that a
stop must be put to them. This makes
seven murderers confined in the county
Jail at HALEY.
Germans In Politics.
| MILWAUKEE, Sept. 1.-The Ge,n,dnio,
the only German secular paper pub
lished here that il not in full harmony
| with the nti-Sabbatatian and anthem
| perance movements, and instituted by
the brewing and liquor interests. In al
editorial today it thus treats the subject:
"Whither arc we drifting:" ''When We
allow the German papers of Milwaukee
to convince Us that the interests of the
| Germans are identical with those of the
beer brewers, when sometime since the
| agitation for and against the temperance
| movement of Iowa was III progress, the
| Ge,maBio claimed that the wild and Con-
tinually repeated threat that the brew
ers and distillers' organs forced many
Prohibitionists in the temperance ranks.
We are very apt. IL appears, to witness
the like condition of affairs in Wiscon-
sin before long, without the least provo
cation. The position Of the local Ger
| man press in beginning its warfare
against all elements which did not hap
pen to be generated in the beer barrel or
| whisky bottle, it has called forth a
storm Of indignation which il il impOs-
sible now 20 calm down. The views Of
those papers falsely denominate the
views OF the German element.
