ALMOST MURDER.
Henry Ross Deals Jesse Winston a
Vicious Blow with Stove Top.

Henry Ross, the colored scamp, is in
the tolls again. II seems to be part of
Henrys creed to commit some depreda
ton which will lead to his arrest again as
soon as he has served out some previous
sentence. Henry has been out of jail
only few days. and this morning found
him locked up again, this time upon the
crosse st charge that has brought him
before the bar of Justice. The charge is
assault with intent to kill, but the foun-
dation for the charge will probably not be
known until Henry comes up for trial.
The prospects are, however, that Henry
will get dose this time that will keep
him out of mischief for several years
AT about 10 o'clock last night there
was frightful row in one of the shanties
inhabited by colored families in the rear
of the armory building and Henry was in
the middle of it, Officer Harris was dis
patched to the scene and found Jesse
Winston with deep cash on the right
side of his head, which had been inflicted
with stove top in the hands of Ross. 1t
was evident that there had been free
| fight of some kind, but all that could be
learned further was that koss had struck
the blow, and Winston's appearance
spoke for the effect. The wound barely
escaped the temple, and today the victim
is unable to move about at all, although
no fatal elimination is now anticipated
The appearance of the wound, however
shows malicious intent and had it ex-
tended an inch further would Nave proved
fatal Ross will rot be tried until Win.

The garbage vender of the II SANDER, -
d .als in more than his usual accumulation
of filth this week. The splenetic old i'm
beetle charges the ARGUS with publishing
bogus and manufactured kilograms.
This is another of the old fools charac
t'ristic lies. Over year ago the ARGUS
perfected arrangements for receiving by
wire news of special Importance, aud our
system is as reliable as any Geographic
association sends out. Special reference
is made to the dispatch in regard to the
reported capture of the Nichols muir,
derers and the murder of Superin-
teudent Kerrigan at Kansas City on
Wednesday of this week In answer
to the first case we will reply that
the dispatch was printed in the Chi
cagO papers the same evening the ARGUS
contained it, and the same dispatch SUBJ
sequenty came to the telegraph Office of
the c., r, l. 81 P. road in this city. The
following appeared in the Chicago Duly
Necs, Thursday morning, being virtually
the same dispatch published in the ARGUS
the previous evening:
Special TO the Chicago Daily News
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, March "a 1t is re
ported that Superintendent Kerrlgan, Of
the Missouri Pacific, at Sedalia, has been
killed by the strikers There are no de-
tails yet received.
In times of great excitement such as at
the present railway strike, sensational
rumors are likely to find circulation, and
tits impossible to trace their origin or as
certain their reliability in time for efter-
noon papers, and enterprising journals of
that class give the news for what it is
worth. 1t is sometimes impossible to de-
termine whether the rumors are abso-
iutely true or not. An Insignificant week
ly has ample opportunity to wait for the
daily papers to correct any mistakes they
make, but its editor should improve the
intervening period in a more honorable
way than trumping up lies and SANDER,
Gus abuse If the old liar wants further
information in regard to the ARGUS dis,
patches, the telegraph manager will prob
ably furnish it to him.

Effect Of the STRIKE, in Rock Island.

The result of the embargo upon freight
shipments in Missouri owing to the great
strike on the Missouri Pacific and Wa
bash, is being felt in Rock Island TO some
extent. In an interview today, Agent
Holmes, of the c., NJ. & ST. p, informed
an ARGUS reporter that that road was not
shipping or receiving any freight to st.
Louis. East ST. Louis or points beyond,
but was running into Kansas City again.
How long this road will be shut out of
st. Louis shipments, depends upon the
length OF the strike.
Freight Agent St0ddard of the G., r.
|. & T.. stated the same to be the case
with his road, Although shipments were
now being received for Kansas City,
Atchison, Leavenworth and Topeka
nothing could be sent to ST. Louis.
Agent Custer, of the c., B. & Q, says
that his road is still receiving and sending
freight to ST Louis and East ST Louis,
and is experiencing no trouble

Old Joe couldn't hardly bring himself
around to support Alderman Cavanaugh.
The few lines he wrote is equivalent to a
rebuff. He wants the voters to question
him in regard to The abattoir, and see if
he is really in favor of having the butch-
ers kill there Old Joe knows Alderman
Cavanaugh's position on the abutioir
question. and it is all nonsense
about making that question an issue
at the coming election. He as much as
says to Alderman Cavanaugh, 81 will give
you one more chance to change your
mind, and beware what you decide
upon" If old Joe had little common
sense and manhood mixed in, he would
know that Mr. Cavanaugh is too honor
able gentleman to sacrifice his princi,
pies to further the old schemer's ends.
In a two years term an alderman will
have weightier subjects to vote upon than
the present butchers wrangle. 1t is no
issue in the approaching election. What
the people want is good, honest intelli-
gent aldermen-men who will not be
tainted with the odium Of Danforthism.
