had secured divorce there from his
first wife, resident of Massachusetts,,
to whom he had previously willed his
property, and on his death bed he
willed everything to his second wife,

test over the will was settled yeeter-
day, the first wife having granted let
tiers over the property here, while the
Dakota will is admitted to probate.
This virtually decides the Dakota di'

SAFE BURGLARS KILLED
BY A POSSE AT KNOXVILLE
JUNCTION, EAST TENN.
They Refuse 10 Surrender, and Two
Ont Of Three Are Riddled
With Bullets.
ESPECIAL TO rHE LPPKAL.l

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, February o.
A terrible tragedy occurred at Knox
vile Junction, eighty miles from this
city, on the line OF the Cincinnati
Southern railway this morning, in
which two daring safe robbers were
killed by posse that was pursuing
them. Lest Friday night three burg
lars broke into the store of
]. nj. Handy, merchant ct
Glenmary, and attempted to crack
his safe, in which there were
several thousand dollars. They
we're detected by. the merchant, who
at once opened fire on them. They
returned the FIRE and a regular. fusilade
ensued, in which twenty-five shots
were exchanged, but no one was
wounded.
THE BURGLARS FLED
and no trace Of them was found until
the morning, when Handy learned
the robbers were encamped on the
Emory river. He secured posse and
went in pursuit Of the men. They
were found concealed among some
cross ties and were ordered to surren-
der. Two Of the burglars threw up
their hands, but the third bid the
pose defiance, and swore he would
never surrender. The posse shot
him dead, his body being perforated
with bullets. The remaining two fed,
but one was shot, and in his agony
jumped over a bluff 100 feet high int
The Emory river and was drowned.
The third burglar escaped. The two
burglars killed were handsomely
dressed, and wore fine diamonds and
watches. No clue TO their identity
could be obtained.

GOV. MurrHy's Second Veto Message.
SALT LAKE, UTAH, February g.
Gov. Murray's second veto message to
the Legislature is OF joint resolution
providing for the compilation of TIE
laws ut cost of $4,000. His reasons
are thai the Territorial Auditor and
Treasurer are not legal officers. They
are serving long after the expiration
of their terms on worthless bonds,
and should not have the disbursement
of public moneys. Second, many of
the statutes OF Utah are in direct con-
h.ct with the laws Of Congress, and
the Governor will never consent to
spend the public funds to continue
them on the statute bdDks TO the mis-.
leading OF the people. The Legisla-
ture appointed committee of confer
exec with the Governor whose real
purpose is to discuss the question OF
filling these Territorial offices.

Prominent Steamboat Captain,
January 90, 1856.

To the Busint S, Men Of Monroe:
1t is with pleasure that ! have read
the several published articles emapat-
ipg from tho Business Men OF Monroe,
in which they recognize the great ini-
portance Of tic Ouachita river as
approve the justice OF their demahd
upon tho United States Government, TO
improve their river, and to render the
same uavigabic the entire year. This
undertaking is at once feasible and Of
easy accom- plishment. When the i'm
portance of this river TO the inbabi-
tants of the Ouachita Valley is cons
sidered, l can but wonder why this
work has been go long deferred; why
our Representatives in Congress have
not risen in their might, and deman-
. magnitude, TO have made this enter
prise complete success long years ago.
Let US hope that justice, though Iardy
r will now be metcd out to the Ouachiti
, Valley, thanks TO the noble efforts nov
) being pu. forth by the enterprisinI
o citizens of Monroe.
But while waiting upon the Govern
,o tnent TO give you The necessary near

Knight, in Tennessee, and other things 10
connection with his business Affairs,
which seemed TO be prophetic Of his
death. II was evident In few days after
he was taken sick that he would never
more move among his friends, with his
kind words and cheerful smile. Although
his mental powers were not changed In
the least to the last, he spoke but little,
aud the same patience and torbearance
that was characteristic OF the man through
life, was shown in his death, into which
he fell as peacefully as child going TO
sleep.
Gen. Knight came 10 Texas in 1874,
and bought large tract Of land about
four miles north Of Fort Worth, where
his residence now stands. As every one
knows, he has been dealing In fine stock
all his life. No man in the state has done
more to improve the stock OF all kinds In
this country than Gen. Knight, and In all
Of his business transactions no one ever
knew him 10 swindle any one Men
from different parts OF the state would
give him more for stock than any one else,
because they knew that he wouldn't sell
anything unless he could recommend It..
Although he had some $4,000 or Sl0,-
600 worth OF Imported stock TO die on his
hands, he WAS still the same dauntless,
indefatigable old man, for he was one Of
the few old men who could stand up I'M
der misfortune.
Had Gen. Knight lived to carry out his
plans, TaTrant county could have some
day boosted Of stock farm not equsled
even by McGrathian's or Alexander's of
Kentucky.
Gen. Knight was member OF the Cum
berland Presbyterian church, and he
thought one of the best ways to serve his
God was by doing his duty to his fellow
man. No man ever came to his house
hungry and he fed MIN not. The latch
string was always on the outside, and
friend or stranger, rich or poor, always
received a cheerful handshake and
hearty welcome. In short,h came as near
doing his duty to God, his family, and his
fellow-man, as any man could. The ten
der love and devotion for the wife of his
bosom never wavered. AS a father his
kindness and solicitude for the
success and honor Of his children
was without parallel. Gen. Knight, like
all men OF his callbre, was not at all fond
OF show. He was not obtrusIve, bigoted
or dogmatic in his views, Was always
ready to yield his expressed opinions TO
the weight of argument. He never made
any great display Of his generosity, but
his neighbors will tell you of the thou
sand silent acts Of charity that has always
been characteristic OF the man, and for
which he will always be held in grateful
The soil of old Tennessee never nur-
tured a nobler character. Texas in
losing him has sustained a great loss. In
short, ne was a good, generous, pure,
Just and noble man.
