learned that the District Attorney OF Ari-

CHEYENNE, October 22.-News reached
here last night from Carbon that John s.
Kerr, stockgrower, residing at Elk Noun
tain, Wyoming, had shot his younger bro
ther. W. s. Kerr, yesterday. The trouble
originated from the fact that while ]. s.
Kerr was away from home. the brother.
whom he had educated and nurtured, took
the opportunity to
sEDUCE HIS WIFE
and ruin his home. His son, boy of II
years, first told Mr.. Kerr of the state OF
affairs in bis household. Mr.. J. s. Kerr
Immediately decided all his property to bis
son and went out into the world penni-
less and heart-broken man. He tried to
hide his shame from the world. but the
facts were too notorious to be entirely COW
cred. Finally an attempt was made to
ROB THE BOY
of his title to the propsrty decided to him
by his father, and the controversy brought
j. s. Kerr back to the scene of his disgrace
and shame. In trying to settle the matter
with the brother hot words ensued and w.
s. Kerr shot his brother, the ball taking
effect in one of his legs. J. 8. Kerr, the in
juIed husband, shot back and mortally
wounded w. s. Kerr. J. S. Kerr last year
represented Carbon County in the lower
house of the legislature and was elected
speaker of the house. He is generally es-
teemed wherever known, and the sympa-
thies Of the people are with him in bis
troubles.

SAVANNAH, Ga. October 22.-Savannah

it. Many people, hotel guests, especially,
got up and did not 60 back to bed. At
2:2O o'clock this r. m. another vibration,
accompanied by rumbling noise, was felt.
It was equally as severe as the first but OF
much less duration. Many claim these

ciated between the pitchers box and Sec
ond base az referee. Tue playing on both
sides was very loose, the batting heavy and
errors numerous. The Chicagos seemed for
once to have lost confidence in themselves
AND PLAYED A wRETCHED GAME,
both at the bat and in the field. Flint es-
pecially distinguished himself by his many
and costly err.rs, the Browns scoring no
less than four times on as many passed
balls, and once on a wild throw to third
base. Williamson pitched for the (hicagos
in the first inning, but was knocked COM
pletely out of the box, and Ryan occupied
the position for the remainder OF the game.
The latter did good work for Il time. but as
soon as Flint began to play out he was
obliged to ease up and toss the ball slowly
over the plate, and was therefore batted
freely and hard. Burns, in the right field,
made two costly errors, allowing two men
to score who otherwise would have been
left on bases. Hudson pitched for the
Browns and did
MOST EXCELLENT WORK,
only three hits being made to his delivery.
The game was called in the seventh inning,
on account of darkness. OF the games
played so far the Chicagos have won two
and the st. Louis three. Score-St. Louis,
10; Chicago. 8.

a Compromise Effected.

CHICAGO, G. 2.-The Times says: Although
the board Of arbitrators submitted a sealed YER
dict in the matter of the Southern Kansas
freight rates. enough has leaked out to give an
idea of the decision. st. Louis is allowed diff
ferential of per cent on through freight as
against freight rsshipped to Kansas City, or the
local rate Kansas City to southern Kansas
points. The Missouri Pacific and ST. Louis &
San Francisco will be allowed to make the rate
from St Louis to Wichita by their direct lines
OF 80 cents hundred; and to other points and on
other classes in the same proportion. The Chi
cago lines through Kansas City are also priv
LEGGED to make the same rate Stating it in
nutshell. the Kansas City local or terminal roads
are debarred from using on Kansas City ship
ments to southern Kansas the proportion of
the through rates from st. Louis AS will be
seen. the decision is nothing more nor less than
compromise. St Louis demanded 10-cent
differential; Kansas City contended for an equal
ization of the through and local rates. The ar
bitrators give St Louis per cent. dfferential,
The pool is not formed. and it Is doubtful
whether the outcome will be satisfactory to any
body
