The Antelope K0inGeide.

Later reports concerning the
killing of VIM. Barton at Colevil!e
last Saturday morning present the
affair in different light. 1t seems
that Barton and a man by the
name of Davis had been gambling
all of Friday night, and that a
friend of Davis, name McQuiddy,
had been a spectator while the
game was in progress. During the
night several disputes had occurred
and finally when Davis broke Bar
ton on the last hand, which was
played early Saturday morning,
Barton refused to give up the
money, and a struggle took place,
when McQuiddy rose and shot
Barton in the neck killing him
instantly. McQuiddy seemed to be
in a drunken stupor at the time,
and a moment later inquired, Did
I do that p and when told that he
did walked off. No effort was
made to secure his arrest for several
hours, when he was tracked across
Walker River and a short distance
in the direction Of the Hot Springs,
where the track was lost. Nc
Quiddy was a resident Of Calaveras
county, California, where he has 4
wife and three children and so
acres of land. He was not known
to have ever been in any serious
trouble before.
Davis is a young man well spoken
Of, and both Dayis and McQuiddy
are known by sheep men now in
the vicinity Of Coleville. They had
come to Antelope on Friday and
said they were going to Fason Val
ley to work as vaqueros.

COWA RDLY.

A gang of feather-head boomers are
converting every now and then in To-
peka and passing re solutions intended
to brace up the Oklahomaites. Those
fellows, nine out of ten of whom are
interested in some speculative way IN
the settlement of the territory, urge
those who have gone down there, to
stand up for their rights, to never
yield, and if necessary, to shoot down
the soldiers under Gen. Hatch. Why
don't these brave fellows who are urg-
ing others to commit an act that
would inevitably wind up their career
as boomers, go down and do the
shooting themselves! The highest le-
gal officer of the government has de-
clared that the laws of the country
does not permit a settlement there,
and the chief executive of the nation
has issued his proclamation warning
all citizens alike, that until the COM
gress shall take the necessary action
no one will be permitted to occupy
said lands, but what does all that
amount to. or the United st ates army
under Hatch, when these fellows as
sembled in squads, at night, hundreds
Of miles on the safe side of the line, re-
solve that blood must be shed and
that they will stand-with buncombe
resolutions-by the fellows who are
thus encouraged TO do the shooting.
The men who, in the face of the presi-
dents proclamations and the decisions
of the courts. would thus encourage
others to Undue their hands in blood,
are worse than towards.

PRAYS FOR A REVIVAL.

The editor of the Champion, in sore
distress, cries out for revival of re-
ligion in Atchison. He intimates that
of all the subjects, foreign and domes
tic, sacred and profane, springing up
around his editorial chair, the ques-
ton, "why does there not come to
Atchison a revival of religion" is the
most puzzling. There Is wicked ma
terial enough and powerful preachers
upon every hand, but no spiritual
awakenings. We suggest that the
trouble may be an intellectual one.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
ever since the cold intellect of the
philosopher has tried to snatch man
from the loving arms of God and rele-
gate him back to the monkey and tad
pole, spirituality has been on the de-
cline. If the survival of the fittest or
processes of natural selection, has de-
veloped thought and love, then deveI-
opment is alone worthy of considera-
ton, and through development only
can man ever reach that for which he
hopes aud to which he aspires. OH
erwise that which distinguishes man
from the brute, to-wit. his mind, il
getting him into heaps of trouble. II
the sense of moral obligations have
all been sent adrift and heredity rath-
er than the love of an all vie Father
is embraced, revivals, such as Prantice
prays for, are illogical, if not impos>i-
BILE. We fear that Atchison is much
like Wichita in this respectful revival
is being prayed for, but principally by
our business men, who only know one
kind of revival and that revival of
trade.

PROUD ENOUGH TO PAY.

The state legislature during its
present session will be asked to make
an appropriation to pay the ash boz
nus guaranteed by this city 10 secure
the location of the western branch OF
the national soldiers home. We hope
there will be no captious opposition
to making this appropriation. The
state of Iowa by its legislature apprO-
priated $4,000 toward the home, pro.
vided it should be located IN that
state. The board Of managers; which
under the law, had the location
of the home, was impressed in
favor OF Iowa, but Gov MAJ tin being
a member of the board, the other
members, desiring to compliment him,
decided, all things being equal, to To-
cate the home III Kansas. This city
was then chosen az the best natural
location in every way, and it then be-
came necessary to guarantee the pay
ment of certain amount of money.
This Leavenworth did, and secured
the prize for Kansas, and we have yet
TO hear of a kansan who is not proud
of the victory won by our city for our
state.
If the Kansas state legislature had
been in session before the location OF
the home. or at the time that Iowa
made her appropriation, it wonld not
have he-itgted Tor moment in max
ing an appropriation sufficient to coun-
teract the influence of that of our
neighboring state. The case is in the
same position now las it should be pre-
scented to our state solons. The legis-
lature shonid not take into considera-
ton that the location has already been
secured. but simply that the home,
while national institution, will be
of great benefit TO our own people and
a source of pride to every man woman
or child who loves the state of Kan
Sas and expects to make it home.-

MISTAKEN.

on woman suffrage, says: "Mr. Ben
ming, of Atchisen, alluded to those
feminine delegates as barren women
no one cared much about, and saying
it was the mothers the delegates
wanted to hear from" Mr.. BeDning
is very wild and wide of the mark
The women whose homes are the best
cared for whose children are the
happiest, whose husbands get out
with cheerful faces to battle with the
world successfully, are the women
who, like Mrs. Cougar, go slashing
around the country, making them
selves conspicuous at state or national
capital and who at home parade the
streets eternally in the interest of
some public love instead of giving
their attention to the husbands and
children n.

ghost don't disturb them. There has been a

keeper. 1t has got Mt all the boarders and
scared them pretty badly. Mr.. Joe Bash
got up and ran out after it. He was armed
with his boot, and if he had found it / think
he would have done some tall running and
if the mayor taxes the show tonight there
will be terrible stamped in the pool-room.
A man came running into the pool-room
last night, swinging his arms and hallowing
like mailman. All the boys that were in
there scattered in every direction, some un-
der the tables and others out doors. Dave
Cat thought he would stay with him, so he
climbed up the lamp post and sat straddle
of the lamp. think it will be wise for the
wild man to keep still and not make any
more such breaks. ACNE.

General Sherman's latest contribu-
ton to the history of the rebellion
calls for another letter from JEFF Davis
and another from Senator Vance
General Sherman, in his communica-
ton to the War Department. makes
specific the charge that he saw letter
from jeff Davis to Governor Vance
making the threat spoken of in the st.
Louis speech. He goes further and
throws new light on the schemes of
those who concocted the rebellion.
There are hundreds of public men
in the South who knew that when
this matter was pressed home the Da-
Wis clique would suffer, and General
Sherman knows that majority of
these will not be sorry to see the res
possibility for secession placed where
il belongs. General Sherman has
more than made good his claim that
he did not speak idly when he said at
ST. Louis that jeff Davis aimed at
despotism in the South, and that the
President of the Confederacy had
threatened to turn Lees army on any
state that contemplated withdrawal
from the Confederacy. In addition,
he has rendered the country new
service by his courageous course in
this matter. He, it is plain, gives only
a hint of the facts at his command.
Those who are on the inside know
that the more the case is investigated
the stronger will be General Sher-
mans position.-Inter Ocean.
