THE IOWA COURT
1t Tries n Couple of Alleged Murderers,
and Disposes of Them as Usual

1t Tries n Couple of Alleged Murderers,
and Disposes of Them as Usual.
ELDoRA, Iowa, June 6.-About 6 o'clock
Wednesday evening, as DR. Underwood and
G. H Riteneur were coming through q
heavy strip of timber eight miles north of
here, three masked men appeared at the
roadside and commenced shooting at them
with navy revolvers at short range.
The top buggy in which they were riding
was riddIel with bullets, and the escape Of
its occupants is wonderful, but they were
uninjured save a few scratches. Riteneur,
with remarkable GOODNESS, jumped out and
opened fire on the attacking party with
good effect wounding one OF them and driv
ing them to the brush. Underwood
held the inquest over the body of Enoch
Joln-un, who was found dead
near Clifford last November, and do
ciared johnson had been murdered and hal
done ali he could to bring the murderer ia
Justice. Both Underwood AMI Ritenem
testified against the Rainsbargers, who were
tried here for the murder of johnson. Since
then they lave been threatened and warned
to leave the state by members of the Rains
barger gang. Thursday the two Rains
bargers, who had heretofore been at liberty,
were arrested for the shooting

A poIi,ical warm wave.

The low barometer which has prevailed
among certain Democratic statesmen since
the ith of March is being followed rapidly
by high temperature and warmer weather.
The cold-wave flag has been ordered down
in Missouri. and the mean relative humid
ity in Illinois, Michigan and Indiana is
evsporating in the sunlight of President
Cleveland's better understood policy. The
Administration has begun to turn the
rascals out"
The unreasonable storms which gathered
in the Northwest last month have passed
out to sea and are now mingled with the
Gulf-stream of faith in the Administration,
The local thermometric readings show a
smaller average of precipitation, and a
lovely summer is indicated alike In the
Mississippi Valley and the South Atlantic
States.
The probabilities are, therefore, that
hereafter the political weather will be fair
with perhaps occasional showers and local
rains next fall. But the people wouldn't
appreciate the sunshine If the clouds did
not now and then obscure the sun. And
thus we confidently predict that as long
the Administration causes its benefcent
action respecting the offices to permeate
alike the New England States aud the
Ohio Valley, there will be plain sailing,
glad skies and temperature equal to the
palmiest days of Acadia.
