A COLORADO TRAGEDY.
A Harvard College Graduate
Commits q Double Murder
for Revenge.
Boston speciai.l

Boston Special.l
Several gentlemen are about to start
for Denver, to make an effort to save
from the gallows Charles w. Stickney,
a young man and q graduate of Har-
yard College, whose brilliant attain
ments aud chivalrous friendship made
him leading spirit among his associ-
ates in this his home. A few weeks
ago the fact was briefly chronicled
that Montgomery +, Campeau, q man
of property in Denver, Col, had been
shot by an alleged blackmailer, and
that a miss-aimed bullet from the as
sailants pistol had killed a Mrs. Dew
ereaux, who happened to be near the
scene of the tragedy. The story of
wrong and Of murderous revenge told
by the friends Of the young man who
has done this foul deed will in a
measure palliate his crime, even ifit
be not proved that he was insane
His brief career has been a peculiarly
sad one. On graduating with hon.
ors from Harvard a few
years ago he entered bust
ness, and was remarkably success.
full. He met q destitute bat brillian
German girl, was touched by her sad
history and married her, his friends
say, from motives Of chivalric pity.
EIe sent her to Germany to be edu-
Gated, and spent much money in fit
ting her for good society But she
proved nnfaithful, and deserted him
to live with Montgomery f. Campeau,
wealthy citizen Of Denver. Her
husband obtained a divorce in Massa-
chusetts courts, and at the suggestion
of friends instituted a suit against
Campeau. 1t was settled by an agree
ment to pay $4,000, Of which $500
was to be paid in cash, and a note was
given for the balance. But soon after
ward the wife was cast out in the
streets of Denver. She reached Chi
cago with her child, and in great dis
tress appealed to her former husband
for help. He forgave her and took
her again as his wife. Learning Of
this the mau who had wronged them
stopped payment on the note he had
given, accused the couple of practicing
blackmail, and, it is alleged, procured
the publication Of frequent news
paper items to that effect. Stung at
last beyond endurance, and believing
his wife's story that by a bold plot she
was forced into the company of this
man, the young man determined to
avenge the wrong both had suffered.
He went in search of his enemy,
found him in April last, and quickly
made him a target of his pistol. The
first shot killed Mrs. Devereaux, who
happened to be standing near, but
with wonderful determination the
incensed husband pursued his work
Of revenge, and the next shot carried
instant death to his victim. Stickney
was arrested, and his trial is to begir
on February 7th. The defense il

all his life say that he had number
of mental peculiarities when boy
| His ideas of chivalry were sentimental
and extreme. One of his teachers
one or two of his classmates, a chun
in college, and certain of his relatives
make up the party which goes iron
this city. Some Of his associates ex
press great doubt as to his insanity
but all agree that he received terribl,
provocation. His wife is now liviDl
near this city.

The Importance of Planting
Peas and Improving
Old Land.
WHrTEvrLLE. Tenn, Jan. %, 'S2.

WHITEvILLE, Tenn, Jan. -, ".
EDITOR LEDGER:-The hard times
arising from the last severe drought
induce me to advise and to remind the
farmers of the great Importance OF
raising more fruit and grain, more
clover, grasses and peas. In the first
place they can save a great deal OF
corn, and still kill great deal of pork,
by raising fruit, and clover and peas
for hogs. The three above named
articles are sadly neglected in the
South.
| understood that the State of
Georgia offered $1,000 reward to any
one who would make a discovery in
regard to the cheapest, best, most
economical and convenient fertilizer.
l consider peas the greatest
of any vegetation that grows in
the South for improving old land.
Doctor Anderson, of Haywood county,
who was a Granger correspondent for
the Brownsville Democrat, suggested
that peas was what Georgia needed.
Thousands of farmers need to i'm
prove their worn out lands with peas.
Pea vine hay makes a most excellent
food for horses and cattle. 1t is very
rich and nutricious. Farmers who
have milk and butter, would do well
to have pea vine hay for their COWS.
As peas are scarce and will command
high price at planting time, the
farmers would do well to drop their
peas in rows and cultivate them. The
yield would be three or four times
greater. By adopting the above
named plan they would be greatly
benefited. and they could accOmmo-
date and benefit their neighbors per-
haps, by sparing them some seed.
Respectfully,
j. E. HUDSON.

Maryland maintains a little navy to

fisheries, and Chesapeake Bay is
mapped with imaginary boundary
lines, the wrongful crossing of which
it is the duty Of the oyster police to

several dredgers are killed or wounded

crowded with captured offenders.
