Coyote Killers.
III Ii

body of wel-equipped men are about
setting out from Laramie City, Northeastern
Wyoming, for the double purpose of shooting
wild horses and poisoning coyotes. The latter
are terror to cattle men and reward of $2.5O
each is offered for their pelts. Wild horses
have increased of late on the plains, and do
damage by enticing away tame ones, so that
the loss to owners is great every year and is
steadily increasing. 1t is impossible in ordi-
nary times to catch the riderless wild horses
with other animals bearing the burden of a
man, but it is thought possible, by taking them
in the Winter season, when not well fed, to
shoot down the stations and then catch the
remainder of the herd The expedition goes
out prepared to remain away from civilization
until April

The lady takes her seat on the soft customs,
her feet firmly braced against the front piece,
which curls over and covers them, her hands
grasping the rail at either side, the body
slightly thrown backward. All will go well
if she does not move, but woe betde the girl
who stirs an inch to the right or left
The steerer takes his place behind. His po-

lie on the left side, propped on one arm, with
the right leg extended, which is used for steer
ing.

And don't they have wings and white

"Yes."
"And crowns?"
"Yes."
"And harps? Do they have harps?"
"Yes, dear"
Then, after a long, meditative pause, in a

out any reserve means upon which to
live, or to pay their debts and save

An Important Decision.
Conviction Of Murder in the Second
Degree Bars Trial for the High
er Crime.

MoNTRosE, Pa, Aug. 16.-A decis-
ion of Importance to lawyers through.
out this State was rendered here in the
case of the Commonwealth VS.. P. Win.
ters. Pat Winters was tried and con-
victed of murder in the second degree
at April sessions last. A new trial
was granted and the question arose
whether, after prisoner, charged with
homicide, has been tried and convicted
OF murder in the second degree, he can {,
upon new trial afterwards, be convict.
ed Of the higher offense.
1t was agreed by all that this point
had never been decided by the Supreme
Court of this State and probably never
will be until some judge holds that the
defendant can be convicted of the high
or offense. and jury renders verdict
in the first degree. Judge j. B. McCol-
lum decided that trial and conviction
of murder in the second degree was as
fully an acquittal Of murder in the first
degree as if it was expressed in the
words of the verdictsz<pd a complete
bar to a conviction of.the higher crime,
Judge Grier cissented.

JOHN KELLY is no longer the
sachem of the mighty Tammany or
ganization in New York. a large
majority of the Tammanites, in conse-
quence of the peculiar position which
their old chief took in the late presi
Dental election, demanded his resigna-
ton and succeeded in the election
of a new leader, Mr.. Loew. The
movement deserves the praise of ev.
cry true democrat, because under
Kelly's selfish leadership it became
very doubtful sometimes on which
side of the political fence Tammany is
going to land, 1t is to be hoped that
under the new man, the organization
will become o more reliable and solid
Democratic body, than it has been un.
der boss Kelly.

Bound to the Rails.
A Railroad Mans Awful Position
Supposed to be the Work Of
TrampS.

LEwIsTowN...P Pa. Aug. 16.-One of
the most Gendlsh crimes that eyer had
its inception in the soul of human be-
ings and carried into execution, was
perpetrated upon Mr.. Thomas Crepps,
a division boss Oh the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Mr.. Crepps was walking on
the railroad track making his way
home, about O'Clock on Friday night
aud when near Anderson Station, a
few miles above this place, he was at
tackled by three unknown men. The
assailants knocked Crepps down, and
robbed him of his silver watch and a
months salary that he had just receiv-
ed. After The robbery the fiends gag
ged and bound him band and foot, and
then tied him firmly across the track
and hurried away.
Crepps knew that freight train was
due in few minutes, and began a
struggle to which the desperation of an
imminent death lent super-human
strength. He wrencbed his feet from
his boots and succeeded in extricatlng
his right hand when the expected
freight train came in sight. One min
ute more and the thongs would have
been severed. The struggling man
rolled off the track and the iron horse
came rolling on, crushing the fingers of
his left hand. After the train had
passed Crepps was found by track
walker, and the gag removed. Crepps
was carried to his home at Granville,
and his condition is critical.
Yesterday and to- day all the tramps
that passed up and down the road were
arrested and searched, but no evidence
of the robbery in the shape of the miss
ing property could be found.
