$40. Pocketing this amount the forger skipped.

Murder at Dongola, Growing Out of an Eff
fort to Suppress the Sale of Liquor.
DoNaoLA, June 26.-J. c. Lentz, a prominent
merchant and justice of the peace, was deliber-
ately murdered here yesterday by Luther K.
Bruce, a druggist. Both men were well and ia
vorably known. An attempt to suppress the
liquor traffic resulted in bringing both men
prominently to the front, Bruce as the opponent
and Lentz as an enthusiastic supporter of the
Temperance element. A few days ago Bruce was
fined $25 for some violation of the whisky
ordinances and became very bitter against
Lentz, whom he accused of being es
pecially instrumental in his prose-
cution on this occasion. as we'll as
upon former occasions. The men met this
afternoon and the subject was discussed, Bruce
accusing Lentz OF persecution and of writing
letters to his discredit, which the latter indig-
nantly denied, turning on his heel as ne did so
and walking off. Bruce followed him up. and
finally drawing a revolver shot him through the
breast, the victim dying a few moments after
ward. The murderer is in custody. Bruce is
regarded as a good man when not under the in
f1uence of liquor, usually being quarrelsome
when intoxicated. but never regarded as a per-
son who would commit a deed Of this character.
Lentz was a church man, well off and highly
esteemed. Both men have families. The affair
has naturally created intense excitement.

that the President will appoint civilians to the
