Bad Men from Barber.

Mention was made in this paper last
week of the murder of an old man
named Davis near Garden City, by two
men, Brown and Vandaver. One of
the murderers, Brown, was killed in
the attempt to capture him. 1t appears
that Deputy Sheriff Writ went TO La
kin and got the assistance of Barney
O'Connor and Frank McAlister. both
well known in Medicine Lodge. and a
man named Mcclure. Going forty
miles south. to Wilson City, they learn
ed that Brown was at Frisco, and there
he was found in livery stable. The
deputy sheriff and McAlister guarded
one door and O'Connor and Mcclure
the other. Brown drew his pistol and
fired at his pursuers, when they turned
loose on him and killed HIM. Wanda
yer was near there at the time, but
learning Of the killing of his partner,
he made his escape. Wonder if that
was the L. Z. Vandiver, formerly of
this county.
Since writing the above, news has
reached here indicating that both Brown
and Nandiver were formerly citizens of
Barber county. Brown was the J. C..
f. Brown who made his headquarters
here year ago, following for living
anything that turned up. His peculi-
arity was very delicate mustache
which he invariably kept BACKED and
at which he continually twisted. He
was from Miami county, Kansas, and
of good family. He was never regarded
as dangerous young man while here.
The Vandiyer in the case is the same
Z. P.Vandiver who left here last sprirc
for the county's good and TO the entire
satisfaction Of the people of the Cedar
creek country. He was invariably in
trouble here about financial matters.
mortgaging property twice, borrowing
money and never repaying it, playing
detective, and in fact engaging in al
most everything but honest labor. He
has the reputation of being dangerous
man, having killed deputy sheriff in
Missouri several years since.
1t appears that when he escaped from
his pursners last Friday that he went
south into the Territory. As he is a
man of little discretion he is liable to
turn up here any day.

NORTHERN CHIyALRY.

News has reached us of duel with
swords that occurred in Chicago, day
before yesterday. The chivalric north is
taking up the cast off garments of the
aristocracy of the south. We abandoned
such barbaric practices down here some
time ago, and regret to see that our fell
low citizens of the north are not keeping
pace with the march of civilization. We
sincerely hope that the law will be en-
forced against these brutes in fine clothes,
thess savages calling themselves gentle
men, and they may be taught they live
in republic of law and order, and
not under the old fuedal system. We are
not of those who despair of the north
however. We are hopeful that time will
lead the people in that benighted section
to see their folly and ignorance, and that
they will mend thei7 habits,

Indian Girls Badly "smitten. &"

The gravel train that left here short time
ago had a thrilling experience at Indian
Town. 1t appears that the good looking old
and young fellows on the train have been
flirting with the gay young ladies of that
burg just the same as they do with all young
ladies that will flirt with them. From sue
cession of waving of kerchiefs, ETC., the Indian
girls become "smitten," just like many of
their fairer sisters do, and they wanted a
"talk" with the train boys.
But they wouldn't talk. They PASSED to
and fro daily, but they had no time to talk.
In fact, the cast iron rules of the Central
Pacific prevented such foolishness. However.
the "maidens' were determined that thew
should stop and have friendly "talk," and
did stop the train, all orders to the contrary:
and this is how they did it: The train went
down to Sunol and came back in a few
minutes. 1t was backing, and as it neared
the home of the dusky maidens the conductor
saw lot of ties and lumber piled over the
track The airbrakes were put on and the
train stopped just in time to prevent it from
being ditched. On each side of the obstruc-
ton the maidens had gathered, and their ugly
faces smiled when the train came to a halt

MARK THE TRAITORS,

dispatch received as we go to press
gives Bliss, Campbell, Merriman, Spriggs
and Stahnecker, of New York; FOran,
Geddes, LIE Fevre, Seney, Warner and Will
kins, of Ohio; Boyle, Ermentrout, Ran
dali Curtin and SnOwden, of Pennsylvania;
Gay, Irion and st. Martin, of Louisiana;
Martin, of Alabama; Green, McAdOo, Null
Ter, Lawler and Ward, of Illinois,; as the
democrats who voted yesterday against
the consideration of the Morrison bill for
reduction of the tariff. Let them be
unceremoniously expelled from the party.
If they are not expelled, thousands and
tens of thousands of free traders will be
lost to the party at the next election. A
man who is not free trader is not a
democrat. Let the black flag be raised at
once. The democratic party Is fighting
protection or it is fighting nothing.

ing the spot said it was evident that one
of the stage had outlived the other; for
the SHELTON of one was stretched out
straight, as if it had been dragged by the
survivor. The skeleton of the other was
bent, as if its owner had expired In
mortal effort to wrench itself loose from
it's dead com panion. And then came the
birds of prey"
This is impressive and forcible. should
labor and capital come to mortal combat,
each side determined to die grit, bad
mess would result. But we have no fears
of such an occurrence. Labor will yield
and capital will yield lorg before ruin
comes to either side. The contests going
on now are healthy for both parties. Cap
ital was getting too large for its panta-
looms. 1t needs little reduction of
pride and power. Labor is making many
mistakes, but it will work round all right
in the end. The country is safe, and the
''eager vultures" are likely to lie out of
job long while if they are waiting on this
fight for prey"

LABOR AND CAPITAL.

We take the following from our es-
teemed contemporary the Houston Post:
A more striking illustration of the char
acter of the conflict now impending be
tween capital and labor has not been
given than that employed by Mr.. Walter
B. Hill i'll lecture delivered last week in
Macon, Ca, on anarchy, Socialism and
the Labor Movement" The lecturer in
PRODUCED his subject with the following
apt smile:
"At home in my family sitting room, on
the top of book case is a large pair of
antlers. The gentleman who presented
them to my wife told this story: He was
hunting in one of the wiregrass counties
of Georgia, and found in thicket these
horns locked in fast embrace. On either
side of the horns was skeleton-the
skeleton of the deer to which the antlers
had belonged. The ground near the spot
showed that it had been paved and
plowed up in fearful struggle. What
was the history which these things told
Two stays of the forest had met in mort
al combat. They had rushed upon each
other, head TO head, with such violence
that their horns had become locked in an
indissoluble grasp. Long after the heat
and fury of the onset was spent, each
doubtless tried to pull loose from the
other, but the effort was vain. With
locked horns they had miserably persisted
on the field of their encounter. TIE
skeletons told the story of the death BY
starvation, and the visit afterward of the
eager vultures. The gentleman descrlb.

A DOG LAW.

What say our legislators to passing a
stringent dog law at the coming session
A law som whet to this effect: Any cur,
hound, terrier, bull, mastiff or any other
species of the animal dog, if caught at
large IN the highways in the forests or
elsewhere outside OF the premises of the
owner of such dog, shall be forfeited to
the state and reward of two dollars be
paid out of the treasury upon the pre-
sentation of the animal alive at the door of
the county treasury to the captor thereof.
In order to establish fund from which
to pay for the capture and presentation
of such dogs at the doors of the
county treasury, tax shall
be levied of 81 head on every dog of
any description or species in the state of
Texas. The dog when presented at the
door of the county treasury by its captor
shall be by the treasurer, turned
over to the county commissioners, or the
high sheriff, to be slaughtered without de-
lay, and that the flesh thereof be consci-
entiously withheld from enterprising
butchers, who might, against the peace
and dignity of the state, convert the same
into mutton for sale in our public mar
kets.
Such law would be a boon to our
sheep-raisers ; would save millions
of pounds of stole meat.
and bread and other waste, which, but for
our dog population, would go to our pigs
would save the pigs by the hundreds,
that are now devoursd by ravenous dogs
and eggs would be cheapened immensely.
But above ALL such law would diminish
greatly the dangers of that dread disease,
hydrophobia. Seriously, we think good
dog law would be good thing for the
state of Texas. Let us have it, No civil
lied people have any real, practical use
for dogs. and they are dangerous pets.
Those who wish them for pleasure should
he willing to pay for the fun of keeping
them.

BY ALL MEANS A CAUCUS.

The democrats should by all means have
held caucus on the tariff bill to be pre-
sented to the house Let the majority decide
the action of the party. In this way they
could weed out the republicans who, in
democratic guise, are defeating the meas
ures of the party which are essential not
only to the supremacy but the very skis
tence of the party. FREQ traders are in
earnest about this time, and the demo-
cratic party is free trade party, or 1t
has been. If it is not, there are good
many people who would like to find out
that it has changed its principles and de-
parted from its precedents and traditions.
If it is not now free trade party there
are considerable nunber of folks who
are no longer democrats.
