CLAY CENTER, KEs., Oct. 20.-An adroit
forgery came to light late last night, which
resulted in NJ. Avery being put in the coun-
ty Jail to answer the charge. Avery has
been in the pump and windmill business
and has done considerable work for farmers
all over the country, and it was an easy
matter to fix up plausible story, which
would catch the clerks and money lenders.
The forgeries have come to light, viz. On
John Schwab, Z. H. IDENTITY and Jno. A.
Schwab, but there is no way of ascertaining
whether or not this is all he has committed.
He confessed these three.

Mother and Daughter Murdered.

KANSAS CTrY. Oct. GA report has
been received at police headquarters this af-
ternoon that the dead body Of Mrs. Conway
and her child had been discovered at Ais
East Eighteenth street Indications are that
OF murder. No particulars.
KANSAS CRY, Oct. 2l.-A terrible TRACE
dy was committed about o'clock this after
noon at the house of John Conway, dairy
man, on East Eighteenth street, in thickly
populated part of the city. A neighbor en-
tering the house found Mrs. Conway and
her daughter Kate lying dead upon a bed in
an inner room, their skulls crushed in and
the bed deluged with their blood, which was
yet warm. The girl was kneeling beside the
bed, her head upon her mothers
body. Marks of blood were found
on the kitchen floor and the weapon of
death, car coupling pin, was discovered in
the alley where it had been thrown. About
$50 in money is missing from the house.
The most plausible theory is that the murder
was committed by q tramp, who, perhaps,
had attempted criminal assault upon the
mother, and being surprised by the girl
killed them both. Several persons were in
the vicinity of the house and a milkman
passed through the yard, both shortly be.
fore and after the murder, but no outcry
was heard at auy time.

Holler, confined in the county jail at that
place for an assault July odd on Mrs. Nc
Laughlin, who lived alone on a farm west of
Winchester, was dangerously and perhaps
MORALLY wounded by mob which intended
to take his life yesterday morning. The
Jail was surrounded BY fifty men. They de-
manded the keys and demanded Hollar's
cell. They would have shot their victim to
death where he was had they not been
asked 10 do their bloody work outside the
walls. They dragged their prisoner out and
h ,e rush for liberty. Forty men
Sc mao him as he ran and only one hit him.
He managed to elude his pursuers at last
and returned to the Jail. Here he was again
shot by the men left on guard and again he
ran. This time he met the city marshal
who concealed him and summoned medical
aid. The mob after a thorough search dis
persed. Hollar's recovery is despaired of.
The assault he is accused OF is most brutal
one. Two women were defenseless and were
cut and hacked without mercy, narrowly
escaping death.

Ohio Election MIDDLE.


CINCINNATI, Oct. 20.-Testimony was
heard to-day before Judge Buckwalter in the
proceedings to compel the Judges of cleo
ton in precinct A, Eighteenth ward, to
make proper return of the election. The
returns were brought in unsealed and I'M
signed; hence the writ. j. II. Thompson,
one of the judges, testified that he had been
agreed upon TO act as judge for the Repub-
licans. In the morning they divided the
labor thus: Thompson was to receive the
votes and deposit them in the box; Higgins
was to turn the crank and Reagan was to
check the names from the registering book.
After about fifty votes had been received,
outside parties interfered, took the book
from Reagan and threw it
UNDER SOME RUBBISH.
Reagan said he could not check names fast
enough. After the checking ceased the
witness saw one man poll seven times under
different names the votes were received
against his protest. He recognized the face
as the same, though he didn't know the
man. He went home at six O'Clock and re-
fused to assist in counting, afterwards he
went to the polling place and was refused
admission. He next saw the ballot box
yesterday morning; the hinges broken off
and the box tied up with rope. Other wit
nesses testified that a copy of The registry
book had been made and was used by chal-
lengers until they
WERE DRIVEN AWAY,
and the book torn up. A citizen of Cow
ington testified that he saw two boys whom
he knew to be residents of Covington vote
at this precinct. He said they were brought
to the polls by special policemen. Another

given to the larger one. They went into
saloon to get it changed. He followed the
boys to the river and on the way be asked q
policeman to arrest them but he declined. |
He saw the boys get into skiff with oars
and tear up the seat to paddle across the
river. Another witness testified he saw 4
Moses Doyle, who he knew well, and whom /
he had seen short time before vote at /
another precinct, and came to this precin ct !
and offered to vote. Witness protested and
seized Doyle's arm as he held out his ticket
one of the Judges seized Doyle's wrist and |
the arm was pulled from the ballot
box by these two men unit
another Judge took the ticket /
from Doyle's hand and put it into the
box. The question to be raised after the
testimony is ended, is whether the court
ian compel the judges to sign a return
when they know it is fraudulent.

,iDct the Judges returned newspaper cleo
ion return blank with their signatures at
ached, but didn't sign the tally sheet.
About IS 900 have been subscribed for
