They Add Ferocious Assault and Probable
Murder to Their Rccord-TwO brothers
Their Victims.
GREESsDURG, PA, January l6.
A terrible and brutal outrage oc-
Cured Wednesday night at Evcrson.
Two brothers, Adam and Christopher
Keck, are the proprietors Of the Vance
House in Eyerson and a store-room ad-
joining the hotel, of which it was part.
To carry an insurance on the store-room
it had to be occupied, and on the second
floor of the room Adam Keck slept.
He had retired to his bed, and at IL 80
O'Clock his brother heard noise there,
and started for the store, arriving at the
door, which was open, he was knocked to
the floor, and two men dressed in regular
Indian costume with their faces painted
red, feathers on their heads and blankets
around them jumped on him and beat him
cruelty. Had IL not been for his wife,
who heard his cries and rushed out into
the street and cried murder they would
undoubtedly have killed him. When
Mrs. Keck gave the alarm, the burg
lars fed, and in q short time crowd
collected Chris. Keck was carried into
the house.
Then inquiry was made about Adam.
A party went TO the store, and In
the back part of the room found
him lying on the floor gagged
and bound. The gag was removed,
and he was asked what happened, His
reply was, ~ don't know" after that he
didn't speak again, and has since been
unconscious.
The burglars had, previous to their de-
parture secured considerable property,
and some money, but the extent of the
loss is not exactly known.
The condition of Adam Keck is very
serious, and he will probably die. His
head was crushed on the back part, and
his ribs were broken.
A man who gave his name as A. Coff-
man was arrested yesterday between La
trobe aud Derry, charged with completely
in the robbery, and is now in jail. He
will be taken to Everson 10 be identified
Popular indignation is at fever heat.

a Couple of Mormon Emlssnries Air Their
Opinions ON the Subject of the Surviving
Kelic--Polygamy Tenet of the Church,
and What is Congress Going to DO About
ItS
ST. LOUIS, Mo, January 10.
John Morgan, OF Salt Lake City, and
John A. Groesbeck, of Springville,
Utah, are in the city the latter on his way
to the New Orleans Exposition, and the
former going to Chattanooga, Tenn,
where he expects to meet party of 100
emigrants, men and women, who have
been collected all over the South by Nor
mon missionaries lie will bring them
west during February to colonize in
Conejos County, Col, where already sew
eral colonies have been established dur
ing the past four years by the Church of
the Latter-Day Saints. Both men are in
tclligent, well educated, In good circum-
stances, and can be taken as fair rep
rcscntatiyes OF the shrewd and influential
Mormon worker.
"The church is growing in power every
day." said MIR. Morgan. "It's colonies
are prosperous and its people more firm
ly bound together TO resist oppression
than ever. Concerning the dispatches
scattered over the East with statements
of the violent intentions of the Mormons
toward the Gentiles, can say positively
that they are false. The Mormons are
too sharp to kill any Gentiles. Some of
those VINO are making themselves conspic-
uously disagreeable may get slapped
in the face on the streets, but that Is all.
These tales are the expiring efforts of the
Gentle offce-holders who go out March
4th and who have been hoping to obtain
the management of our Territorial fin
ances which we are managing for our
selves by electlng our own Treasurer and
Auditor"
Springville, the home of Mr. Groes-
beck, is large agricultural center. Dis
cussing the attitude of the Mormon
Church towards the National Govern
ment; "Poygamy," said he, dis tenet
of the church and is upheld, practiced
and taught just as much as ever, in spite
OF the efforts which have been made
lately to cloud that fact. How Is the Gov
ernment going to stop it? Congress has
tried it once and failed, hasn't it2 What
is 1t going to do about il? The Govern
ment can't interfere with our individual
liberties.n
Neither of the Mormons were inclined
to praise Kate Fields writings on the
sainss. ''She has found out more about
the church in the short time she was there
than | have IN my twenty.cight years of
life Al that Territory" remarked Groes-
beck, sarcaSticallY.

Exposure.
AUSTIN, TEX, January 10.
Brinkley Otel, one of the largest cattle
owners in the State, arrived here yester-
day from the Sweetwatcr locality, where
so many cattle are reported as having
drifted. He says that the reports have
not been exaggerated, and that against
the wire fencing running along the Texas
Pacific west of Fort Worth there are over
100,00 head of cattle, and they are dying
at the rate OF nearly 1000 day from cold,
hunger and thirst. The situation, he says,
is simply dreadful. The cattle will not
turn against the north winds and seek
other sections for food, and there is not
sufficient help in that locality to turn
their heads and drive them elsewhere. At
present no effort is being made to drive
them out, and unless something is done
with but little delay the immense herds i'm
that section must soon dwindle TO moth
ing. Most of the cattle men at the meet
ing Of the Live Stock Association in this
city left for their homes this morning, and
it is thought that they may make an effort
10 save the herds now in such sore dia-
tress, whether they own them or not. No
effort vt concerted action was made While

Railroad Conductor.
NEW YORK, January -.
James r. Keenc, the grain operator, lives
on the Long Island Rairold. Last Mon
day morning he left his commutation
book at home. An imperative rule Of the
company requires conductors to collect
full fares from any commuter who fails to
produce his book. Conductor Mahoney,
of the Rockaway line, demanded sixty
cents. Kecne refused to pay, and the con-
ductor, rather than have any trouble with
him, withdrew the rebate cheek and con-
cluded to pay Keene's fare as far as
Jamaica, where his duties ended.
At Jamaica conductor Randall took the
train. Keene again refused to pay his
fare and was told that he would be put
off. He guessed not. Condu ctor Randall
signallcd the engineer TO stop. Keene
clutched the conductorbY the throat. The
conductors fist was descending in the
direction of the brokers face, when a
passenger caught his arm. Another
passenger pulled keene away. A third
passenger paid Keene's fare, aud the
conductor signalled the engineer to pro-
ceed The Company expected that Keene
would repeat the scene In the evening,
and had an otflcer ready to arrest him,
but be purchased bis ticket and went
home ppseeably
