rney Cnen TOOK MIN to their father6'
house and kept him there till Tuesday
morning when another brother came
to lola and swore out q warrant for his
arrest. Alex Brown served the war
rant and brought Walker to lola where
he was tried before Justice Harris.
He plead guilty to assault and battery
and was fined $40 and costs, amounting
in all to near $50. 1t is but just to say
that Walker claims to have been in
the fracas purely by accident. He was
passing by in the evening, he says, and
learning from the other men what was
up, stopped merely to ''see the fun, y
not expecting any trouble. The other
two men were recognized by the Boo
ken boys to be Willoughby, the man
who was recently busted, and wills
liams his brother-in-law. A warrant
is out for their arrest but it is doubtful
if they can be found. John Boeken's
wound is not at all serious, while Har-
~ escaped without scratch except
the mark of bullet which grazed his
left cheek for about three inches but
did not break the skin. They both had
mighty close calls and it seems almost
a miracle that they were not both
killed. The man Walker has a black
eye and two or three deep gashes on
the head as his part of the "fun."
After the fracas was over, two shot
guns, both broken to pieces, and a
pistol, belonging to the Leaguers was
found. Neither of the shot guns had
been discharged, SO Willoughby and
Williams must have carried away with
them the one with which John Boe-
ken was shot. The pistol had five
empty chambers. Harry Boeken's
pistol was discharged once by accident
during the scuffie.
We have not space to add extended
comment, but if we had, we do not
know of any comment that would any
more strongly condemn the dastardly
action of Williams, Willoughby and
Walker than bare statement of the
facts. They entered forcibly, i'm the
night, upon property to which they
knew they had no shadow of right and
from which they had but recently been
elected by law. They took with them
three shot guns and revolver.
They began an attack upon the right
full owners when they appeared and
but for bad craftsmanship would have
committed murder. What more can
be said? And yet these men claim
that all they want is the decision of the
courts! And they effect to be insulted
when one calls them robbers and out
laws.

POINTERS FOR THE PEOPLE.

Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express, in pur-
suance of that enterprising spirit which
always characterizes its management
of extending to the public every posi-
BILE facility and convenience in express
BUSINESS, has adopted the express mon
ey order system which has met with
such universal favor among insurance
companies. merchants. publishers, bust
ness men and the public in the east,
where many having learned to appre-
ciate the advantages of this system re.
quest their customers to make remit
tances in this way.
All agents of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s
express are supplied with money Or
ders, bound in small books each one
containing ten, twenty or fifty orders,
and each order can be issued for any
sum from 81 to $50. They are for sale at
all the company's offices in Arizona,
British Columbia, California, Colorado.
Dakota, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas. Louisi-
ana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana,
Nebraska, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas,
Utah, Washington Territory, Wiscon-
sin, Wyoming.
Express money orders are undOubt
eddy great public convenience. 1t is
not necessary to make written applica
lions to obtain them, and they can be
deposited i'm banks, RENTED to exchan-
&c, or paid through bank clearing hOu-
ses. They insure the public against
loss, the company being responsible for
the payment of all money orders issued
by its agents, while ample provision
has been made for refunding money
without unnecessary delay in case the
orders are lost or misplaced.
Express money orders are payable
without any deduction for exchange at
5000 postoffices in the United States and
Canada, including offices of the Amer
lean Express Company, United States
Express Company, Canadian Express
Company, Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western Express Company, Denver &
Rio Grande railway express, Intercolo-
NAL Express Company and National
Express Company.
The rates charged for express money
orders in various sums is exceedingly
moderate, viz: For 81 to S., SC; over S.
TO $40, Sc; over $40 to $40, lOc; over $50
to $50, 12c; over $50 to $40, 15c; over $40
to $50, zoe.
Upon comparison we find these rates
to be lower than those charged for post
office orders.
The express money orders, at the OPP
ton of the purchaser are made payable
"to order" or "to bearer" and when "tO
bearer,' they will be redeemed without
Identification, which is an acco mmda
ton to travellers and strangers.
This system will prove great benefit
to the public, and we prophesy for it
the encouragement and success it de-
serves.

ANOTHER CHAPTER.
Leaguers furnish additional proof Of
their anxiety to abide by the
law"

Some three or four years ago, after
carrying the case up to the Supreme
Court, Mr.. Boeken, of Salem township,
got writ of ejectment against one AL
derman, who was living on quarter
section of land belonging to Mr.. Boeken.
Pending the trial Alderman sold his
claim to c. A. Japhet and he in turn
sold it to Z. Y. Montgomery, who was
reputed to be occupying the land when
the writ of ejectment was placed in the
hands Of Sheriff Worst to serve. When
Worst arrived at the place he found %
or 80 Leaguers there. Montgomery
was not among them. VIM. Davis
was there. however, and told Mr.. Worst
that he had come along that morning
and finding no one there concluded to
take the land himself. The Sheriff
thought he had no right to GUST Davis
and so came away. Montgomery re-
turned and continued to occupy the
land until he sold his claim to one
Myers. Myers held it until last fall
and then rented it to Samuel Will
loughby. About the first of this year
Mr.. Boeken had the old writ of eject
ment put in the hands of Sheriff
Brown, and by its authority the latter
went down and ousted Willoughby,
placing Boeken in possession. So
much by way of explanation.
Since Willoughby was ousted, Har-
~ and John, sons of Mr.. Boeken, have
been living on the place. Last Mon
day night the boys had been out sere-
nading a newly married neighbor.
When they returned about II o'clock,
John Boeken put his key in the door
to unlock it when some one from with
in called out twice, "Who's there:"
Almost at the same time two shots
We're fired through the wall of the
house near the door. John BOeken
then broke the door down and
rushed in followed by Harry. AS they
entered another shot was fired at
them. John Boeken ran to the bed
where he saw gun lying and as he
stopped to pick it up a shot was fired
at him from shot gun, two or three
Of the shot passing through his left
ear and number of others lodging in
the side of his head and neck. Harry
had revolver and he leveled it at one
of the three men who were in the
house aud told him to throw up his
hands. As he did so another man
named Walker grappled with him and
tried to take away his revolver. While
they were scuffiing John Boeken at
tackled the other two men SO vigorous
ly that they broke and ran away. He
then struck Walker, who was still
clinched with his brother, over the
head with gun barrel. This weaken
ed his hold and Harry got loose from
him, grabbed gun and again struck
him on the head, knocking him down.

IT is to be hoped that the bill to
punish drunkenness, alluded to in our
Topeka letter, will become a law. We
have always thought that the man
who drinks whiskey commits about
as great a crime as the man who sells
it. If there were no whiskey drinkers
there would be no whiskey sellers.

Both Houses of the Kentucky
Legislature adjourned sine die on the
18th inst, after having been in ses-
sion for 140 days, or so days beyond
the constitutional limit. 1t passed a
number of very bad bills, including
that permitting defendants in crimi-
nal cases TO testify, that donating
5000 to Barry South for services
never rendered, the pleuro-pneumo-
mia steal and others too numerous to
mention. If it passed any
good bills it was done unwittingly
and the members should not be held
responsible for it. The body will go
down to history, as the worst Legis-
lature that ever assembled in Ken
lucky. May we never see its like
again.

Queen Christina, widow of the late
King Alfonso, of Spain, gave birth to
posthumons child on the 18th,
which being boy is heir to the
throne of Spain. 1t will be remem-
bered that since the Kings death his
daughter, the little Mercedes, has
been Queen under the regency of her
mother. There is great rejoicing
throughout the Kingdom over the
birth ola male heir. In response to
q summons there had assembled at
the palace to await the accouchment
all the cabinet ministers, the foreign
representatives, the principal civil
and military magnates, a deputation
of members of the Cortez, and other
distinguished persons. The child
was born at noon. The usual pomp
and ceremony were observed in con-
nection with the birth and the city of
Madrid was illuminated. The babe
will probably be named Fernando
