, 1883-08-16

To account for my being out all
night. I told her l had been taken
with headache and laid out on the
prairie all night. Mac had got two
of Hagan's boys to come over to his
house to stay all night, so that if he
was suspected he could prove that
he was at home by these boys
When Mac and 1 started from his
house, he took a piece of Il board,
which he pulled of large board in
the yard, with him, to drive in the
sand at the Bar to tie our horses to.
We arrived at the warehouse be
tween l and 2 o'clock next morning.
1 tied my horse to this piece of board
which Mac drove in the sand, about
1000 yards from the house. Mac tied
his horse to the pommel of my sad
die. We then started for the house.
l stayed behind about thirty yards,
as Cummins had dog that did not
know me. Mac made friends with
the dog, and walked up to the house
He pushed his fingers through a
knot-hole in the door, raised the
latch, threw open the door and com
menced firing at Cummins, who was
on the bed. Mac fired five shots. At
the first fire Cummins cried out, but
I do not know what he said. Nc
Pherson continued firing until he
had emptied the five chambers of his
pistol, then stepped back from the
door. Cummins then cama to the
door and closed it. l think [ then
heard Cummins say something about
water, and [ think he took Il drink,
but won't be positive. Mcpherson
fired very rapidly. After Cummins
closed the door, Mac found an axe
near the house and with it broke in
the door When he struck the door
large knot flew out oft. No shoot
ing was done through this knot-hole
When the door few open was right
behind Mcpherson, and Cummins
recognized Mac and said: Mac,
what in the world have I done TO
you?" Mac answered Cummins and
said: Nothing, q G-d-you; I'll
finish you" Cumnins at this time
was sitting at the head OF the bed
About the same time | commenced
firing and fired three shots, when
Cummins fell TO the floor. AfcPher-
son and [ picked Cummins mp and
placed him on the bed. and / imme-
diately went out Of the room. Just
as L commenced firing Cummins
cried out:
my GOD, DON'T MURDER MEr'
Mcpherson used the knife ana axe
after left the room, and he also GOV
cred up Cummins. and placed the
cloth over the window while 1 was
outside the building watching.
While was outside Mcpherson got
the money and kept it all except $50,
which he gave me at the time, and
until I came from the mountains,
when he gave me $3.50, He took
from the cabin the shot sack that
contained all the money. McPher
son had put all the greenbacks in the
sack which he took. The paper

Of weeks or more Gen. King has
been trying to induce the Secretary
Of the Interior to offer the lands of
the land grant of the Monroe and
Shreveport Railway for sale to &C.
tual settlers. The land grant of this
railway corporation has been practi-
cally forfeited for number of years
because the corporation has not
complied with the terms of the
grant. In the meantime the country
is hindered from being settled be-

The Months Horrors.
New Orleans States, Jan. 29.l

New Orleans States, Jan. 29.l
The first month of this year has
been full of horrors-appalling dis
asters on land and sea. The loss
Of life has rarely been equaled.-
Twelve calamities have followed
each other in quick succession, in
volving a loss of 1914 persons, some
of whom, with hardly o moments
warning, were carried down to the
pr0fonndest depths of the ocean;
others frozen to death, others MAIN
ed and mangled by sO-called railway
accidents, and many tortured and
charred beyond recognition by FIRE.
The record of these disasters il
sickening in its details. Early in
the month the sinking Of o fat boat
on one Of the North Carolina rivers
Was attended by a loss of eighteen
cOnvicts, and a similar accident in
Germany drowned S5 persons; the
foods in Hungary swept away no
less than 14O people; Ii lives were
lost by the sinking of the steamship
City of Brussels, near the hsrbor of
Liverpool, then 16 persisted by the
burning of the ship British Empire;
men were killed by the explosion Of
a mine at Coulterville, No.; at least
80 persons were needlessly sacrificed
at the burning Of the Newhall
House, Milwaukee; 26S persons were
roasted in the flames at the burning
Of the circus at Berditcheff, in PO-
land; on the 10Th instant a gunpow.
der factory at Meriden, in Holland,
exploded and killed 40 persons; then
a disaster on the Southern Pacific
Railroad resulted in the death Of 20
persons; and then came the awful
horror on the German Ocean, when,
by the collision between the steam
ships Cimbria and the Sultan, at
least 400 souls were launched into
eternity.
