A DASTARDLY MURDER.
Sigel Swingle is Killed by the
Hand of His Own
Brother
The Murderer Gives Himself
Up to the Officers of
the Law.

Springfield, Mo-, March "A special to
the Herald from Bolivar, Polk county,
says:
An inquest is now being held over the
body of Sigel Swingle, who was shot and
killed yesterday afternoon by his brother,
Alonzo Swingle, a farmer of Jefferson
township, is county. Alonzo, who is now
in Jail, having surrendered himself to the
sheriff, tells the following story: He
and his brother Sigel were quarrel
ling, when Sigel drew a revolver
and fired at him Alonzo at
tempted to run, but finding that Sigel
was in hot pursuit, and about to fire a sec
ond shot, he turned and fired, killing Sigel
instantly. He then came to this place and
gave himself up. Shortly afttrward Grant
Swingle, of whom Sigel was a favorite
brother, arrived in town armed to the
teeth and swearing he would avenge SigePs
death by taking Alonzo's life,
but was foiled in carrying
out his designs by the latter being secure
in the county Jail" There have been no
new developments in the Graham murder
case. The prisoner has not yet been able
to secure counsel, and objected to prelimi
nary examination to-day for that reason
and the fact thas his life would not be safe
outside his cell. The time for trial is not
yet agreed upon.

DIED In PIE ASYLUM.
Death of James Ashby, Who Shot
and killed His Father-in-
Law, VIM. Hess.

Holden, No., March ESPECIAL JAS.
'Ashby died yesterday at st Joseph, Mo-,
of paroxysms or fits. Ashby had been con-
fined in the lunatic asylum at that place
since May last. From boyhood he had
been subject to paroxysms of rage. or "mad
fits" as they were called, which BECAME so
frequent that he was adjudged insane some
two years since and sent to the asylum for
treatment His father-in-law, Mr.. VIM.
Hess, was instrumental in sending him
there, and was also appointed Ashby's
guardian. After time Ashby returned
from the asylum and was highly. incensed
at his father-in-law for the action he had
taken in the matter.
Meeting in Holden in August one year
ago, Ashby shot and killed his father-in-
Law, Mr.. Hess. Ashby was arrested and
lodged in the Warrensburg Jail, had his
trial at the following term of court was
adjudged insane and again sent to the asy-
lum at st. Joe, where he has been confined
until yesterday, when death released him
and his body was brought to his old home
in Rose Hill, Missouri, for burial. Here,

.JOHNNY'S JAUNT.
Disappearance of a Young Man
Who is Charged With
Seduction.

e The Upton Times is authority fol-
the statement that the little village OF
Vermont, on the Boonville branch
road, is revehng in a sensation Of huge
proportions. The parties involved are
Jno. Il. Wood, the son of an old resi-
dent and highly esteemed citizen OF
that vicinity, and himself a yonng
man who has always b rne high
reputation in the community in which
he has been raised. Those who know
him best b lieve him innocent and in
capable of the dastardly crime with
which he is charged, and alege that
he is the victim of the Vaccinations
of others.
The unfortunate young woman
whose maiden bushes have been sup.
plan ted by the crimson tide of shame,
who will soon occupy that most mel.
ancholy position in lite, mother ere
she has become wife, is Miss Lizzie
Carroll, daughter of Mr.. Mac Carroll,
who occupies a farm adjoining the
Wood homestead and formerly re-
sided near Upton. 1t is said that the
recent grand jury of Cooper county
returned an indictment against young
Wood for seducing Miss Carroll, and
he, while asserting his innocence, has
taken leave of the country, assigning
as a reason that he is unable to main
tain a fight against the state, and
trus' ing that future events will prove
his innocence. If, however, he Is
guilty, as charged. of this inexpressi-
bic and irreparable wrong to a tru.t-
ing and confding young woman, he
deserves the severest punishment the
law can mete out to him.

SMITHS SWINDLE.
What Was i'm the Package He
Threw Away While on
His Way to Jail.
1t Is Thought Other Parties Are
Implicated in the Gigan-
tic Swindle.

Holden, Mo, March 3.5[Specisl] The
prophet Smith, and the "0rder of the Stars
of Heaven" still continue to be the main
subjects OF discussion here. The BAzoo
containing full history of the case is in
such demand that one can hardly be found,
so eagerly have they been sou bit by par
ties living in the neighborhood of the
Emery lodge: A gentleman living in
Rose Hill township, who was on the train
when Constable Writ was taking Smith to
Warrensburg, saw Smith throw package
of some kind from the car window as they
were crossing Blackwater, a stream between
Holden and their destination. He did not
think it worth while to saw anything about
the matter, not knowing what the charges
your correspondent proceeded to the place,
hoping to find something of Importance to
add to the history of the most
remarkable swindling case on record.
Backward and forward along the railroad
nothing rewarded his search. Pausing
upon the bridge, over which the train was
passing when the package was thrown out,
he thought here, then, in the turbulent
waters of this muddy stream is in all prob
ability buried the record of Goods chosen
saint" Here, too, is the evidence which,
had Constable Wort done his duty and
secured his prisoner when first arrested,
would have PROBABLY implicated more men
than Smith and saved an endless amount
of tr'. uble.
Returning to Holden the scribe found
Smith had on several occasions, within the
past month, presented notes at the Farm
ers and Merchants bank, at that place to
be cashod. An interview with Mr.. VIM.
Steele, the president of the bank, verified
the statement. He also said "Smith had
presented notes on parties whom
he knew to be good for the amount,
but that he had refused to take them be-
cause they were all written and signed by
the same hand, although bearing the
names of different parties" Smith then
asked him "who he would take" Mr.
Steele gave him to understand that he
would not take any of his notes, upon
which the "apostle" left saying, "What
kind of a Id bank do you Keep any
how"
The talk upon the street to-day is that ii
will be in order for Mr.. r. III. Bullock to
explain what became of the treasury fund
belonging to the Emery lodge. 1t is stated
here that he has receipts from the men,
bers for more money than they deposited.
These receipts were given while they were
going through their wildcat transactions
in the lodge room, 'in the real estate bust
ness"
The opinion is generally expressed that
Smith is not the only one who will be
shown up in the affair. Parties who have
been thought good business men and who
are connected with the Star of Heaven
movement will be compelled to admit
themselves Tools of the first order or they
may be shown up rascals not much better
than thieves.
A new trail in this direction has been
struck which will be handed down within
the next twenty-four hours.

WILL FORFEIT ITS CHARTER
The Predicament a Railway Com
pany is Placed I'm by
Strikers.
Travel Not to be Retarded by
the Mere Question of
Wages.

Albany, March 4.-The state railway
commission met to-day and as a result of
Commissioner Kernan's investigation, re-
port was drawn up, setting forth that the
Dry Dock Street Railway company, OF
New York City, had violated the require
ments of its charter in not running
cars on March I'd and Sd,
that il bad been prevented
by force on the Sd, that the mere attempt
to occasionally run car is not sufficient
but that the attempt must he continuous to
supply the transportation needs of the pub
lie, that the company has no right 70 de-
prive the public of these facilities
on a mere question Of wages
and that there should be .
law in the interest of the public, in the
case of corporations and individuals en-
gagged in public transportation and the
like, to force both parties to submit to
arbitration. The board decided to
notify the road to resume travel on its
line, in default of which the attorney-ge
eral will be asked to take steps to forfeitits
charter.

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
Holland, Who Shot and Killed
Tom Davis, the Broker,
TeSfiffeS.
Holland Claims the Killing Of
Davis Was Done i'm
Self.Defense.

New York, March 3.-The trial OF Jas.
I. Holland, who shot and killed Tom
Davis, was resumed to-day. The court
room was crowded An.ong the spectators
were many Texans. The counsel for Hol-
land read twenty-ohe dispositions of friends
and neighbors Of the defendant in Texas,
including one from Governor Ireland, Civ
ing Holland good character. The pris-
oner then took the stand in his own behalf.
He described the meetings and the negotia-
tons leading up to the purchase o; the
alleged counterfeit money. He stat
ed that when the $4,000
in good money had been counted out and
put intp the bag and $500 paid for it and
before Davis confederate in the next room
had time to substitute another bag, he (Hol-
land) rose and said:
"Well, let's 60"
Davis said: 'tNo; don't be in a hurry.
Wait till the old man comes"
| said: "I'll go now"
Davis said: "You must not go now, the
house is full of detectives"
| replied: 'I'll take my chances"
Davis said: You must not CO."
i said al will CO." and then Davis said:
"God d-m you, drop that bag or
I'LL KILL YOU.
81 said Il want that bag, Mr.. Wood
ward
81 held on to the bag and he rushed at
me and got hold of me and then a voice
from the other room said "kill the s. of a
b" | Strengthened up then, pulled
my pistol and shot Davis, and heaIing q
noise behind ME | turned and fired another
shot through the partition. then put my
pistol away, opened the door and walked
out"
Holland swore that he received one of
Davis's circulars before he left Texas, that
that 1t was not his intention
to buy counterfeit that he believed good
money would be shown him, that he was
willing to trust his judgment on that, and
having paid 5000 in good money for Sl0,-
900 in bad money, he was prepared to take
his chances of getting what he had paid
for it. He shot Davis because he believed
the latter would kill him.

SUCCESSFUL STRIKERS.
An Attempt to Run Street Cars
i'm New York Proves
a Failure.
The Tracks INSTRUCTED and the
Mischief Was to Pay
Generally.

New York, March Al Special. Early
this smorning thousands of strikers and
others collected on the sidewalks on the
eastern part of Grand street, near the foot
of which are the Offices and stables of the
Dry Dock, East Broadway and Battery
street car campany. Ii was expected that
the officials would attempt to run car
over the line, and the strikers determined
to prevent il.
4 total of 500 police were stationed in
the vicinity, and about ii o'clock car
was run out of the company's stables, with
two of the office employees as driver and
conductor. Inspector Steers stood by the
side of the driver and four policemen with
the conduct r. A squad of policemen SIR
rounded the car, which was driven to the
Grand street ferry without interference. As
the car started on its way across, however,
the strikers and roughs in the crowd made
preparations to obstruct il, and a car of the
Twenty-Second street line, loaded with
passengers, was drawn across the track In
front OF the Dry Dock car.
One of the strikers entered the car and
politely requested the passengers to leave,
and as the last one alighted he cried Gall
right p The car was quickly turned over,
but was subsequently removed from the
track and the Dry Dock car started on its
way, but going up Grand street the ohsta-
Giles multiplied.
Tons of coal were dumped on the track,
and other cars and all sorts of heavy arti-
cles were placed in position p stop the I'M
lucky car AT the correr of Cannon street
two brewery wagons loaded with empty
kegs were upset across the line and the
horses were led away by the helpless
drivers. The strikers appeared to be in the
best of humor and looked upon their work
as huge joke.
The policemen, too, were generally good
natured, but grumbled little at the labor
of removing the heavy distractions. Fin
ally, at l1:30, the attempt TO run the car
was abandoned. II was sent back to the
stables, while the strikers cheered over
their victory. The car was driven by J. B.
Ridbridge and the conductor was John
Aupus. At 2:S0 it was determined to make
another attempt TO run car over the road,
this being necessary TO save the companys
charter.

RAILWAY JOTTINGS.
A. Big Tie COntract-The Injured
Brakeman-PersO Par
agraphs, Etc.

There were no admissions to the
hospital yesterday.
Conductor Lafferty, of the Lex.
inaton branch, has been laying or on
account of illness.
The strike is the principal topic
of conversation among the railroad
men at present, and the situation is
generally pronounced exceedingly
gloomy"
Conductor Samuel j. Levitt, bet
ter known among railway employees as
"Uncle Alvin JOslyn," is again run
ming his crew, but is particularly de-
sirous of having passengers procure
tickets before leaving Higginsville.
The NJ, K. & T. has ordered
10000 ties to be cut in the Usage
valley and shipped to Sedalia over the
Narrow Gauge road. Most of the
timber is to be obtained between Cole
Camp and Warsaw, and employment
is given to many men in that vicinity.
The transportation to this city was
begun yesterday, and from here they
will be shipped to all points between
Hannibal and Parsons, where the
track is undergoing repairs.
-Jno. Eisenberger, the brakeman
who miraculously escaped being in
stantly killed last Saturday night, is
not yet considered out of danger.
While in the Pawnee river he con-
tracted very severe cold, and the
injuries in the region of his hip give
him great pain when he is obliged to
cough. His brother in the east has
been telegraphed for and will prob
ably arrive to-day. Mr.. Eisenberger
is an excellent brakeman and is highly
spoken of and esteemed by all his
friends.

RUNAWAYS RETURNED.
Frank Ellsworth and Harry
Whitaker Brought Home
by Marshal Barnett.

Frank Ellsworth, a son of Con.
ductor Ellsworth, and a lad by the
name of Harry Whitaker, each about
fourteen years of age, have been miss
ing from home since last Monday,
causing great uneasiness and sorrow
to their parents. Mrs. Ellsworth
has been rendered seriously i'll by the
conduct of her hayward boy. Yes.
terday morning Mr.. Ellsworth adver.
tised q reward of $15 for the return OF
his son or information that would
lead to his recovery. During the
forenoon yesterday the marshal re-
eelved telegram from City Marshal
Richardson, of Clinton, stating that
he had the runaway boys in custody.
Marshal Barnett left for Clinton last
evening and returned with the runa-
ways on the 10:45 o'clock train
last night. The boys when dis
covered by the Clinton marshal were
out in the suburbs of the city, sitting
bya fire which they had kindled.
Young Whitaker expressed a willing
ness to return home, but Ellsworth
did not seem TO- relish the idea in the
least.
The two youthful runaways were
placed In the calaboose for safe-keep-
ing until this morning when they will
be delivered to their parents. Upon
being asked why they ran away, and
If they were not we'll treated at home,
Whitaker replied that his parents
treated him well, but they ran awey
to have some fun. Both admitted
that they had failed to have much
fun.
This is the second time that these
young hopefuls have left home.
