MONTPELIER, August 23.-This morn
ing Clark w. Sanders, residing in Fast
Montpelier, came to town and went to a
gun shop and purchased 4 revolver, put
three cartridges into it and proceeded to
the store of Daniel Carr. The latter was
at his desk. Sanders fired three times at
him, one bullet taking effect in the neck,
the two Others is the body. Carr
died in a few moments. San
ders put the revolverin his pocket, walked
out of the store and up the street. Work
men in the adjoining marble shop captur-
ed him. The murderer said: II shot
him and l hope he is dead, as l intended
to kill him. Get your officers and do with
me as you please" Sanders said he
understood the penalty. He expected to
be hanged. The cause of the shooting was
jealousy by Sanders of his wife. The
murdered man was GO years old. He left
no family. Sanders had one son two
months old, which he took away from
home yesterday and placed with his
brother.

DUDES AND ~coaUErTEs.
Incidents of a Performance Not Down
on the Bills.

Some people, while watching the whirl-
ing mazes of a grand ballet, are, by reason
of their attention to newspaper exposures
OF life behind the scenes, often led to com
pare the simulated ecstacy of the dance
with the Outlines bitter daily life of the
dancers. Others, who look only at the
surface, at the tinsel and the tights, in
cline to the opinion that ballet girls and
chorus singers enjoy a continual round of
pleasure and more or less mild dissipation.
A happy medium comes nearer the actual
truth than either of the above somewhat
sentimental opinions, as three well known
gentlemen can testify.
Shortly after the curtain fell
upon the last scene of The DeriTs
Auction last night three gentlemen might
have been seen, indeed, were discovered,
looking in at the uncurtained windows of
a certain store. As a reporter approached
the trio, Deputy Sheriff Hosford was
humming, in a meditative sort of a way,
the familiar air Thou art 50 near and
yet 20 far" Homer Merrill was extract
ing more or less interest from the contem-
plation of the scene through a pair of
huge opera glasses and Thomas Rutledge
was energetically engaged in watching
Merrill and Hosford and the scenes re-
vealed through the windows of the store.
Spread upon the counter was = lunch
of fair variety and lavish quantity. Bot
ties of beer were especially notieeably,
their numbers being far in excess of the
people present, while in every attitude of
eager devotion to the repast
were about a dozen Of the bal
let dancers of The DeriTs AUCTION.
Half a dozen dudes were dividing their
attention between their fair friends and
the beer, while furious fun seemed to be
the ruling spirit of the time.
Merrill heard a sigh is it necessary to
say, of large proportions? Hosford, who
had borrowed the opera glasses, was busy
and Rutledge vas so interested you could
hear him think. Suddenly Merrill darted
away and in a moment returned with a
large stick. His fell design was explained
and promptly executed. Crossing the
street the men crawled on their hands and
knees to the door, and, after a whispered
consultation, arose and departed hence.
Somehow that stick had been inserted
in the handle of the door, and no man
could open it from the inner side. In a
few moments more beer was evidently
wanted and a messenger started to
obtain a supply. But he
didn't go, Then the excitement
waxed great and then was the enjoyment
of Merrill, Hosford and Rutledge most
pleasing to behold.
After watching the reyelry, and some
other things, for a few moments the re-
porter departed, leaving the three gentle
enpreviously mentioned standing guard
in a convenient doorway.
1t is presumed that the supper party
regained their hotel through devious and
muddy alleys and that the three graces
kept their vigil in the doorway until the
midnight matinee was ended.

The REQUEST Refused.

WASHINGTON, August p. As
sistant Secretary of the Interior
Joslyn has refused the request
of a number of cattlemen on Okla
home lands, Indian Territory, TO remain
till they can remove their stock without loss
to themselves. The order to the army to
remove all persons on lands in violation of
the law the Assistant Secretary says is to
be carried out. He further says: Cattle
men went into the Territory without per-
mission and must suffer the consequences.
1t is understood at the Treasury Depart
ment that the proposed call for SlO,OOO,-
600 bonds will be issued in the early part
of next week. The total reserve in the
Treasury to-day is sl45, 500, 900. The
gold reserve, which has been steadily in
c~reasing during the past week, is to-day
about $l20, OOO, 900.

A Little Cyclone.

GALVESTON, August 23.-The Nelcs'
Dallas special says: Asmall cyclone struck
the end of Lamar street this afternoon.
tearing a deep hole in the ground and
with great velocity carrying a column of
sand, two feet deep, to a height of over
FIVE hundred feet. A valuable dog was
carried up eighty feet and fell to the
ground ~lifeless. The cyclone moved in a
northwesterly direction. where it is believed
some damage resulted. The storm continu-
ed only n few minutes. 1t came without
warning. The sky was clear, the weather
warm, when suddenly a funnel-shaped
cloud ofinky blackness swiftly descended,
striking the earth like a cannon ball and
rising instantly. 1t is reported two men
chopping wood in Trinity bottoms, three
miles from the city. were injured by the
cyclone.

LINCOLN, Neb., August PA Mexi-
can named Luciano Padillo was sent to
State Prison in Nebraska from New Mex
leo, who served out his term a month ago
and was liberated last Saturday, rayished
a ~l3-year-old girl fifteen miles west of this
city. He was arrested Monday at Beatrice
and brought back. His victim was horri-
bly, mutilated. and fear entertained that
she would die. The Mexican was taken
to her home this afternoon for indentifca-
ton at the ante mortem by the Sheriff and
Deputy. Before reaching their destina-
ton a mob captured the whole party, took
the Mexican before the girl who positively
identified him. The officers were put
under guard and the Mexicantaken to the
identical spot where he committed the
crime and hanged to 4 tree. He was
given five minutes to pray which he did,
and made a full confession of the crime.
There was great excitement in the neigh
borhood, and the action of the mob was
generally approved.

Jeopardizing Educational Interests.
From the Laramie Sentinel.
There is quite a war at Cheyenne over
school matters. Public sentiment is about
equally divided, pro. and con. on the
question Of retaining Prof. Stark as
Principal of the School. The impression
appears to be pretty general that Stark is
an old fogy, not up with the times in
educational matters. Without venturing
any opinion upon that matter, we think
it would seriously ieopardize the educa-
tional interests of the town to employ any
man at their head who is distasteful TO
even a respectable minority of the people.
