Trouble at Hunnetsff.

City Marshal Rayner of Hunnewell,
and his assistant Ed Scotten, were shot
Tuesday night by Oscar Halsen and
Clem Barfoot. The particulars, as near
as our reporter could gather them are
as follows;
On Tuesday several of the boys came
into Hunnewell and proceeded to get
on hurrah. After doing the town for
short time, they started out, discharg-
ing their six-sOoters within the city
limits, and were followed by the mar
shals, who shot after them several
times. Three of the principals came
back to town i'll the evenil g, and about
IL o'clock began making some noisy
demonstrations in Pat Hanly's saloon.
whereupon the marshalS went in and
cautioned them to keep quiet. The
boys said they had come to have a time,
and asked the marshals if they wanted
70 fight. They replied that they didn't
unless it was necessary. The boys tlreti
invited them to drink, which they ac-
cepted, and started to go out. Just as
they got outside the saloon the two
boys fired at them. The first ball struck
Scotten in the neck on the left side, Just
missing the jugular vein, and passing
through, struck the spiral column at
the junction of the cervical with the
dots9l vertebra, thereby inficting
dangerous wound and injuring the spi-
nal cord so that he is entirely paralyzed
below the wound. Mr.. Rayner receiv-
ed flesh wound, the ball entering
about the knee and passing out about
six inches lower down. After he re-
ceived the wound he shot at Barfoot,
and it is supposed the ball took effect.
Mr.. Rayner then aroused the cOmmu-
nifty; but too late; the boys had escaped.
\ messenger was sent to this city fer
DR.. Gabbert and Marshal HOLSTER,
who went over early yesterday morning,
As we go to press only one arrest has
been made. The party arrested, al
though he did not do the shooting, is
parteceps criminis by being with the
others.-Caldwell Journal.

SedalIa Democrat: The nomination
OF General John S. Marmaduke for
governor was an excellent selection,
probably the very best that could have
been made. The name of Marmaduke
is emblaZoned on the pages of Missouri
history .and is the synonym for purity
and honesty. Once before Marina
maduke was chosen as ruler of grand
old Missouri, and not a stain did he
leave on his record. Ills son, the pres
ent democratic nominee, will only add
to the luster of the fame achieved by
his father. His election, of course, is a
certainty, and his majority will not he
one vote less than the ticket is entitled
to. 1t is General Marmaduke now.
After the election is will be Governor
Marmaduke.

chased six lots to locate his lumber
yard on. He will put in a first-class
stock and sell it as cheap as any one
can, with freight added. The compa-

Atchison Globe: All of the repubIi-
can papers which opposed st, John for
governor two years ago are opposing
Martin now, and from inquiries; made
with a. view of learning the. facts, we
are led to believe that the feeling With
reference to the republican E5nniree in
1884 is fully as qnfayorable as it was i'll
1882, when the republican nominee was
defeated for, governor by about 5000
majority, These inquiries were not
made of democrats or anti-prohibition-
ists, but of gentlemen of every shade
of political opinion, and they all tell
the same story of dissatisfaction over
the prohibitory plank in the republican
platform. OF course this will be re-
garded as 'ruck and rot" in the Cham
pion Office, but is nevertheless the re-
suit of careful, honest and patient in
quiry, and in our opinion John A. Mar
tin will be defeated for governor unless
there is marked change in his favor
before the election. = -----.-

Lieutenant Greely's Report.

WASHINGTON, August 14.-The fol-
lowing is Lieutenant Greely's official
report of the execution of Private
Henry.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H. August ~.
To the Adjutant General 81 the United
States Navy, through the Chief Signal
Officer of the United States Navy:
Sir:-I have the honor to report that
on June 6, 1884, at Camp Clay, near
Cape Sabin, Grinnell land, it became
necessary for me to order the military
execution of Private Charles B Henry,
of the fifth cavalry for continued thiev-
ing. The order was given in writing on
my individual responsibility, being
deemed absolutely essential for the
salty of the surviving members of the
expedition. Ten had already died of
starvation and two more laying at the
point of death.
The facts inducing my action were
as follows: Provisions had been stolen
in November, 1888, and Henry's COM
plcity therein was more than suspected.
March "a, 1884, the party nearly perish
ed from asphyxia. While several men
were unconscious and efforts were be-
ing made for their restoration, Private
Henry stole about two pounds of bacon
from the mess stores. Not only was he
seen by the Esquimau, JAMS Edwards,
but his stomach being overloaded he
threw up the Gndigested bacon. An
open investigation was held and every
member of the party declared hifi
guilty of this and other thefts. A clamoi
for his life was raised but was repressed
bt me, Ippt him under survilance until
our strength rendered his physical sery.
ices indispensable. Later one day he was
found intoxicated, having stolen the
liquor on hand for general issue. A sec
ond time his life was demanded but
again spared him.
On June 5, the theft OF provisions or
his part having, been reported to me, ]
had conversation with him, In which
appealed to his practical sense, point
ing out what was necessary to our pres
eryation. He promised entire reforma
tion, but distrusting him, / issued {
written order that he be shot if detected
stealing. ,,,. 10.
On June 6, he not only stole part oi
the shrimps for our breakfast, but iyis
tied, unauthorized, our winter camp
stole certain seal skin reserved FOL
food. then ordered him shot. In hi.
bag was found large quantity of sea
skin and pair of seal skin boots s.oleI
few days before from the hunter. Sus
pecting completely on the part of sever
al ordered his execution by the three
most reliable men. After his death
an order was read TO the entire part,
and concurred in BY every member a.
being not only just but essential 70 ou
safety. To avoid public scanda or
dered that no man should speak of thi!
matter the official report was made o.

that q court of inquiry be ordered or a
court martial convened, should the hon
cradle recretary of war deem either ad

Changing Cats in Saddle Horses

In reply to query as to how well
broken saddle horses are made to
change gaits by their riders, Phila-
delphia correspondent of the Country
Gentleman says:
English horsemen recognize the
walk, trot, canter and gallop as the on
ly gaits for saddle horse, but in Amer
lea the walk, rack, pace and canter are
the favorite gaits. In Kentucky and
throughout the south where saddle
horses are bred for the saddys bS Dig
tinguished and renowned saddle stall
lions, the same as a runner or trOtter is
bred, the gaits are: walk, 'fiat-footed'
running walk, fox trot, single foot,
rack, canter. gallop, and might have
added dog trot.
"These gaits being kfsi for, are nat
ural to the colt. and as you break him
under the saddle, of course you develop
the gaits-and the Kentucky rackina
bit is a necessary adjunct and teacher
AS to the rider making the horse change
from one gait to another, would say
that the colt in being broken to the
sadf,s IS taught, with the aid of The bit
and spurs, to change from one gait to
another by the touch of the hand, say
Just over the neck In front of the pom.

out the hand on one side, with extend

single foot is developed from fox trot
and by spurring up and tightening the
reins-forcing as it were, yet under re

The Great Exposition.

The Exposition at New Orleans is at
tracing the attention of the press In all
parts of the country and abroad. Almost
every newspaper has something to say
about the preparations that are being
made to further the work of state or To-
cal associations. The special representa-
tives of the Exposition commissioned
by President Arthur, for the purpose of
procuring exhibits have found the news
papers ready to report speeches and
print Che latest news relating the Worlds
Fair. This circumstance no doubt
springs from the fact that the people
throughout the land read with much
interest all that is printed concerning
this great enterprise. By widespread
influence of the press the Exposition is
known and talked about in India, Aus
tralia, on the banks of che Congo, in
the South American republics, and in
the frozen regions Of the north. Seem
ing impossibHities have been overcome
and the scheme limited to a cotton ex-
hibition at first, has been enlarged by
degrees tin is now embraces grand ex-
position Of art, manufactures, mines,
agriculture, and IN fact about every
thing in which the people OF to-day are
interested. This Exposition to be open
ed in December next, covers more
ground, has more exhibits entered, than
can be recorded of any other Worlds
Fair ever attempted.
Aside from the pecuniary means fur
nished, the untiring industry of its di-
rectors, this marvel of the nineteenth
century owes much of its renown to the
power Of The newspapers.

The Droves'r Journal of Chicago re-
marks that this is an age of baby beef,
and we are now getting cattle at
years of age that are ripe and better
beef for the use of the butcher than the
4-year-olds and past that we admired so
much few years ago. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing now to have on the Chicago
market in one day 20 to 30 car loads of
cattle better than the average of the
show cattle six or eight years ago. In
other words, a very prime lot of heavy
matured cattle arriving once a week or
so, Is no longer a notable event. -
