Liquor Thieves Killed.

Des Moines, Ia, July 27.-At 2
o'clock yesterday morning, at What
cheer, an attempt was made by fif-
teen men to purloin a lot of liquors
that had been taken by the Prohibi-
ton League on search warrants.
The liquors were stored in the post
office basement. Postmaster r. s..
Brainerd was awakened and placed
himself on guard, and as the door
was broken in he fired, killing John
Deyard, it is believed, and another
man who was carried of. His act
is approved by the citizens. Con-
siderable excitement prevails. About
$500 worth Of liquors are held in the
basement. Some Of the parties are
arrested and warrants are out for
others. The postOfice and adjoin-
ing buildings look as though they
had been used as a barricade for a
Partisan mob. Eleven large lights
are broken in the windows.

The Primaries in AmIte County
MISS.

Gloster, July 27.-The different
precincts of Amite county held their
meeting to-day tor the purpose of
electing delegates to the county con-
vention, to be held the first Monday
in August, to decide whether there
shold be In the country free race,
primary election or nominating con-
ventlOn. There was more interest
manifested here in meeting of this
kind than ever was known before.
Although Prohibition has been de-
cided to be hon-political, yet the
lines were very distinctly drawn
here yesterday in the election Of del
egates to the county convention.
The whisky men had a regular ticket
and the ants one. The antis elected
the delegates almost two to one.
The meeting was b9isterous yet har-
monious. This (Gloster) precint de-
sided in favor of primary election
and instructed the delegates to the
county convention to vote for such
election in the county. The county
convention will be composed of fifty
four delegates; Gloster sends eight.
Gloster instructed for Darden for
Governor. The vote was very close
between him and Lowry. The At
tOrney General, Galtney for State
Supertendent Of Education, Jackson
for Senator and McLain for foater
representative. 1t is quite likely
that the county will instruct her del
egateS to the State convention for

Monday in August will elect dele
gates to the State convention.
