JorLIN, Mo-, July 3l.--The details of
a very successful attempt to obtain mon.
ey by false pretenses are coming to light
since the arrest of the perpetrator, John
l.. bearing, in Golden, Col. bearing
played a very bold game, and realized in
all about $4,000. He came here last
spring, and being Il civil engineer, was
engaged to do some surveying in
Newton County While looking
over the records at Ncosho,
bearing became familiar with the
names of several business men of that
place, to whom he represented himself as
being an intimate friend of George II.
Nettleton, of the Gulf Road. He said
that If the business men of Neosho
would pay for the survey he
could induce the Gulf people to
extend their road from Joplin to
that point. They accordingly engaged
bearing to do the work, paying him for
his services. He employed Engineer
Sam Mckee aud a corps of young men of
the city and the line was soon located to
Neosho. bearing then told the business
men that the Cuff management desired
to extend the road to Fort Smith,
Ark, If they could meet
with proper encouragement. The
gentlemen told Dearing to 90 ahead.

of the Texas Pacific Railway at this

An Ex.R " nue. Officer Suffering For an
Accidental Killing.
LOUISVILLE, KY, July 3l.-Seyeral
years ago Edgar Wyatt, of this city,
while in the internal revenue service,
shot and killed a young man named
Pffanz Of Portland, while in search Of
moonshiners near Horse Cave, Hart
County. Wyatt has always claimed that
the shooting was accidental, though
he was indicted and has had several
trials, one of them resulting in a sentence
for ten years. His attorneys appealed,
and a new trial was granted. The
Tompkusyi.le correspondent of the
Bowling Green Gazdte Of yesterday says;
''The case of the Commonwealth against
Edgar Wyatt for killing young Pftanz
near Hose Cave, seven years ago, re-
suited in a fine of 81 900. Being unable
to pay so large a sum, he languishes in
prison"
Those who know Wyatt best have al
ways doubted if he intended to kill
Pifauz, and believe his explanation that
the shooting was accidental. Edgar
Wyatt is brother of the noted revenue
officer, John Wyatt, who, after long
and efficient service against the moon
sinners, died at the hands OF policeman
while resisting arrest for miSdemeanor-
He has also brother, Jesse Wyatt, who,

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 3l.-Jim Dillon
and Ned Monaghan fought a stubborn
hammer-and-tongs bare-knuckle prize
fight at late hour last night, near
Brownstown, in the presence of throng.
The fight was governed by the London
prize-ring rules. Neither man was in
very good condition. At the call of time
both stepped into the ring with a
defiant air, and in moment went to
work like tigers. Up to the twelfth
round some heavy hitting was done on
both sides, though but little science was
displayed. From that to the twentieth

punishment gamcly, but lett-hander on
the ear sent him to grass senseless, and
he failed to come to time. Monaghan
was declared the winner, after fighting
