A BLOODY AFrRAY.
Three Murderers Attempting to Escape,
Kill Depuiy sheriff, and Are
Shot by the Citizens.

GRAHAM, Tex. Jan. 3.
The three Mcdonald BOYS, murderers of a
man named Martin, at Belknap, made des-
perate effort to escape from the Jail, yester-
day, which resulted in their death and the
death of the deputy sheriff. besides seriously
wounding several other people. About ten
o'clock in the morning, the Mcdonald broth
ers were led from the steel cage to the Gala
boose, and with Jim Boone and Jack Bald
win, two other prisoners, were given their
breakfast by two deputies. One deputy was
testing the cage while it was empty, and the
other deputy, Davis Milton, stood in the
doorway of a wooden cell, opening from the
calaboose to the steel cage. He had pistol
in each hand keeping watch, and presently
put both revolvers in one hand in order to get
q match from his pocket. when the McDOn-
aids sprang upon him suddenly and disarmed
him. In the struggle Milton was shot in the
hand. His cries brought Murfee, the other
deputy, from the cage, but on entering the
calaboose he was shot and instantly killed by
the prisoners. The prisoners then made a
hole through the floor to the room below and
taking Milton. began their escape. A blood
hound watches the jail but by making de-
tour they avoided him, and took their flight
in a southerly direction. BY this time the
whole city was excited, and the citizens had
gathered all together and followed the flee
ing prisoners. The latter placed their hos
tage, Milton. behind them, and threatened to
shoot him dead if they were fred on. Thus
the murderers proceeded some three hundred
wards. when one citizen deliberately took aim
and firing. mortally wounded one of the fu-
gitives W ho fell. and Milton seized the op-
portunity, broke loose, and ran. A general
fusilade was now exchanged between the cit
izens and the escaping prisoners. The latter
entrenche1 themselves in the weeds and
stumps and the battle ragged for some time.
When the shooting ceased the three Melon
aids were dead. Milton was shot three times.
An old man named Wood was wounded in
the thigh. and a man named jay had the bone
of his leg shattered. Baldwin and Boone
took no part in the shooting and were recap
tured. Graham was scene of terrible eX-
citement during the bloody affray.

THE GUITEAU CASE.
Mr. ScOville Wants More Witnesses
Called.


WAsHrSGToN, Jan. 3.
Mr.. Scoville. counsel for Guiteau, will
submit, when the court opens tomorrow, ar
affidavit setting forth that number of wit.
nesses for the prosecution whose names were
on the list furnished to the defence. have no,
been upon the stand, and thst he has reason
to believe, or at least presumption rests,
that these witnesses were Grim, selected and
summoned by the prosecution, and have
changed their minds with regard to the case.
and that the district attorney has not pu,
them upon the stand because he knows that
their testimony Cow would be favorable to
the prisoner.
Some Of his own witnesses. the affidavit al.
leges, changed their views and were sub.
p9naed and it is fair to presume that SINH
lar change took place in the opinions of the
witnesses whom the prosecution called but
afterwards decided not to examine. If so,
their testimony may be available for the pur-
pose Of the defence and they should be Put
upon the stand. In submitting this affidavit
Scoville will move that all the witnesses on
the list Of the prosecution. who were NOT
called by that side, be now summoned for the
defence and examined in behalf of the pris-
oner.

Exploration of the Polar Re.
giOns.
New YORK, Jan. 3

NEW ORK, Jan. 5.
The Herald's St. Petersburg special says
the Russian expedition to the mouth of the
Lena, organized by the Imperial Society Of
Geography, which left St. Petersburg the goth
of December, will pass year on the coasts
of the frozen ocean. In sending this expe-
dition, the society fulfilled the obligation
contracted toward the international polar
commission. TIE following states take part
in the enterprise projected by the commits
sion: Austria, England, Germany, Dem
mark. Norway. Russia, United States and
France. all of which have one or more sta.
tions in the Arctic regions. There are nine
other stations in the Arctic region, and two
in the Antarctic region. There is every rea-
son to believe that there will be one or even
two additional Arctic stations. These may
swell the list Of persons engaged to over
500. all taking active parts in this enterprise,
which will cost altogether upward of a mil
lion rOubles.

The Weekly Kennebec Journal enters
this week the Fifty-seyenth year OF its ex-
istence, with change in its form from
four page to an eight page newspaper.
which we think will prove acceptable to
all its readers. The Journal has been
improved in several other directions dur
ing the pas; year, and will still be i'm
proved as ability and opportunity are
found for desirable changes. An agricul-
tnrsl department will hereafter be found
in the paper regularly, the charge of
which has been entrusted to an en-
thusiastic farmer, and student and
good writer. After this week he will have
the care of our agricultural columns and
whatever pertains to home matters. The
increase of the subscription list of the
Journal the past year, and Of its ad-
vertising busrness-especially in Kennebec
county-has been very. fattering to the
publishers, and they trust it will continue.
We hope every man and woman 10 Ken
nebec county will feel a warm interest in
their county paper, which for more than
half century has been their representa-
tive In politics and advocated all their
material interests.
The Daily Kennebec Journal has now
entered upon its Thirteenth year. When
it started its death within year was
prophesied. But it has lived and grown.
and never increased more in circulation
in any one year than during 1881. But il
the good people of the Kennebec valley
and vicinity knew what it costs in money
and labor to support daily morning
newspaper IN this locality, and how
great its value is To them as gatherer
and disseminator of news. as ready re-
porter Of conventions and other public
meetings. and representative Of this sec
tion Of the State they would give it larger
and better support than they have YET
given it. The Daily needs a larger and
more liberal patronage. 1t has host ol
friends, but 1t ought to have more. in
every town and city of this valley. and
we hope to see their names coming early
and often 10 increase its subscription list
and strengthen the paper.
