Maverick county, is not a candidate for the
marshaship of Western Texas, his friends in
the district are numerous, and influential. and
request has been sent to the president

the rangers, and that he was at one time shot

reputation OF being brave and courteous
officer, and has done more TO establish law and
order in Western Texas, than any other man.

Lynching Party at Peoria.

The ungodly city of Peoria comes
forth in new role of seeking distinc-
tiQn. An attempt was made there last
night to lynch the negro, Lem Wagner,
arrested for the outrage committed on the
9-year old Kitchley girl Sunday night.
Early this evening large crowd assem-
bled in the vicinity of the jail. The fire
department was called out and attem pied
to disperse the crowd by throwing wstel
on it. This only increased the gathering
and intensified the excitement. John
Yates. one of the mob, fired shot at one
of the firemen, and was arrested.
When the crowd numbered fully five
thousand, the authorities made the state
ment that Wagner was not in the Jail
and invited the mob tosselect q commit
tee to examine the Jail This was done
but thorough search failed to discover
the prisoner. 1t was learned that he had
been secretly removed during the dav
but to what point is hot known.

Beef Slough


About one-half of the logs from which
the 40, 600 to $4,000, 600 feet of lum-
Der manufactured in Rock Island every
year is made, comes from Beef slough. u
Nearly every day log is delivered
here from the slough. Yet outside the
saw mill owners and the steamboat men
resident here few persons in Rock Island
know where Beef Slough is or how ex-
tensive it is. The venerable editor OF
the Alma Journal, 30l miles north oil
Rock Island by river distance, seeks to en-,
tighten the ignorant concerning Beet
Slough. He says it is laid down on the
maps as branch of the Chippewa rivel
along the Mississippi; its head Is a,
Sleeping Rock, three miles below Du-
rand, and its mouth is near Alma; its
length is about % miles, and its width is
less than 400 feet In an early day, be

TIE JURY JOB.


All yesterday afternoon was occupied
in the circuit court, in getting jury Of
twelve unbiased and acceptable men to
try Harry Brookman for the murder Of
Grant Buffum at Andalusia, April II !,
last. At 4 O'Clock the regular panel had
become exhausted, and only five jurors
had been accepted. Judge Smith ordered
a special venire for thirty six jurors
which was returned at o'clock this morn
ing with personal response of thirty
three out OF the jurors drawn. The ques-
tioning and examining OF the jurors was
resumed, each one being questioned as
to what he had heard of the case, his
opinion, if he had any, his experience as
a juror, and whether he had any con-
seientious scruples as to the inflicting of
the death penalty, should case of direct
murder be proven. At II o'clock all
of the thirty-three jurors had been ex-
amined, and all but three had been ex
cused, placing eight in the jury box.
Another panel was necessary and the
court issued venire for it.
This afternoon Sheriff Reticker present.
ted twenty more jurors in obedience to
the venire issued this morning, but up to
3 O'Clock the box contained no more than
the eight accepted this morning. their
names being: John. T. Noftsker, John o.
Freed. Peter Gottsmar, Charles Bowen,
Jacob Pie1man, A. A. Wills, A.
Minteer and l.. E. Barton.
The opinion of the majority OF those SO
far examined seems to have been formed
by what they have read in the newspa.
pers of the case, and many have acknowi
edged such explicit confidence in the
statements by the daily press, that sworn
evidence to the contrary would not re-
move AN impression thus made.
The hearing of the evidence will, from
the present outlook, not be reached be.
fore tomorrow, if then.

Although spring is a little backward
crops look very well. Oats are promis-
ing. Most of the farmers are through
planting corn and some are blowing for
the first time. A great deal of the corn
is up and growing finely. Cherries and
small fruit promise good crop--but nc
apples. Potatoes look well but are
covered with bugs.
School WORK pursues the progressive,
even tenor of its ways, except in the
election of its directors, in which nearly
every district has had more or less trou
Bile. In one district an election wa.
held for the election of two directors as
one resigned, but owing to some mistake
of the judge, it was declared illegal and
no one was elected. A second ballot was
cast the same evening which ended IN &
general row-everybody went home dis,

failing to draw his wages with one direc,
tor stirred the thing up and posted
notices for ANEW election to beheld, May

of Whiteside was ,pervaded by the same
contending spirit. In some it ended il

Too Much for Them.

Last evening a couple of yahoos regis
tered at the Harper, the apparent pur-
pose of their visit to the city being to
take it in and paint it red, if necessary,
and leave nothing but the CORY remains of
any one who interfered with them. At,
ter supper dispute arose between these
wouid-be terrors and the clerks at the
Harper as to their bills. The clerks ar
gued with them in vain, but at last when
patience and endurance had ceased to be
virtues, the obstreperous visitors were
requested to pay up their bills like gen,
tlemen, and leave the house, or they
would be expelled by force, with the aid
of the police. But these very smart
young men were not to be quieted, even
by threats Of calling out the police force
and Chief Clerk Willerton called up the
police station, and Of course there was
something to prevent the services of an
officer just when needed, 80 the clerk
again attempted to settle the matter quiz
