RusHlno TBlnos.---Last Friday week
Tom Masters living near Ncosho went
to a field where James Martin was
working and shot him dead. That
night the assassin was arrested and
the following Monday morning was
arraigned at the bar Of the circuit
court and the indictment for murder
in the frst degree found against him
by the grand jury on Saturday read TO
him, 70 which he pleaded not guilty.
In reply TO a question from him Judge
Geiger informed Masters that he
would be tried this week, and advised
him TO secure the services Of an attor-
ney. The Times thinks that unless
matters change considerably the pros
poets are that Masters will be sentenced
to be hung before a month after the
commission Of the crime, as the evi-
dence is Of such q positive character
that he will surely be convicted when
ever he is tried.

AsoTHER FIAsco.-Leonard Williams
while on trial at Going Snake court
house for the murder of William Will
son gave his guards the shake and made
good his escape on Wednesday Of last
week. Being unshackled he mounted
horse standing near by and with a
shout OF defiance disappeared in the
brush. The guards instead Of halting
Williams leisurely mounted their mules
and rode after hIm. The defense con-
tended that Williams had once been
tried for the same offense and under the
constitution could not be tried again,
and appealed TO the record. The
prosecution held that the jury had
never tried him on the merits Of the
case and II there was any record to
that effect it was bogus. On examina-
tion the judge decided that the record
did not show any acquital Of murder or
Of any other crime; that the record
was without date, and that the whole
matter was therefore a subject proper
for the jury since it became "ques-
tion Of fact" IL he ever had been tried
on the indictment of murder; that II
Williams could show TO the jury that
he had been formerly tried by jury
on tho charge of murder and acquitted
he would come clear under the consti-
tutional clause forbidding a second
trial for the same offense. Since his
escape Williams has not been heard ol
and 1t is very improbable that the au'
thorities will bother themselves about
his recapture.

RATHER ODD.-The circumstances OF
a somewhat peculiar transaction were
recently told a reporter and we give
them. IL may be remembered that
last year Granville Craig, then in the
livery busi7ess in this town hired a
team 10 a stranger and IL was never
returned. A short itime ago the gen.
tleman received letter from q convic:
in the Missouri penitentiary at Jeffer-
son City, saying that II he would go
there full information Of his property
would be furnished. He went and was
accompanied TO the prison by Governe'
Marmaduke in person. The convict
was brought up and willingly told all
particulars Of the the theft. Before
coming here he had been thoroughly
posted by some one and knew perfectly
we'll who to enquire for and whore "a
say he wanted 10 20. The team wal
procured for the purpose Of going out
10 Jim Martins on Big creek. He
drove the first day TO John Kinney's
ten miles this side OF Coheyville, and
that night covered sixty-hye miles
more. The team was disposed OF al
Wichita, and there II was presumed
TO be. This fellow seems 10 have beer
professional thief and according Il
his own story has had a number o
narrow escapes from the penitentiar,
before he was finally landed there. IL,
jocosely stated that he had bought hi
liberty number Of times, but for hi
last ofense, committed since the OraiI
team was stolen, he did not hav
money enough and so was working 1
out for the state on u six years term
The fellow was informed that IL every
thing was not found as he represente,
he would be placed on a bIead-and
water diet, but he insisted the stor
told was true. The party who ha
given Information as 10 names an
