that the Empress Frederick of Germany
has finally conceded TO the German author
titles the right TO her late husbands papers,
and assured Prince Bismarck of their
immediate delivery into the hands OF the

maiesty's yielding is stated to be a threat
made by Prince Bismarck to delay the
opening of the late emperOr's viii until
the papers should be returned AS the

vance in the condition of corn from 90 last
month TO 95.5. Rains have been generally
seasonable, though in excess in some dis

been an improvement, and 8 large crop is
already assured. In the corn surplus states

SHOOTING TNT IOWA.

6HENAEDOH, Ia, Aug. IL shenanuoaS
Is ablazs with excitement. The streets are
crowded with men discussing the terribia
incidents of Saturday night. Gallup, the
double murderer, was buried to-day amidst
the excavations of the inhabitants
Bird Rice's body lies in the Odd Fellows
hall. which is draped in mourning. He
viii be buried tomorrow by the societies
of which he was a member. He was shot
through the heart.
Mr.. Pines body lies in the front par'oF
of his residence on Wheat street. The
brute, Gallup, got in his devilish work by
shooting this gentleman through the heart
also.
Campbell and Winfrey, who were
wounded in the ARRAY. will probably die.
The Gallup family are tie toughest outfit
here, Hank being the only decent member
of the gang. The terrible murders were
the outcome of a Gallup family ROY
Frank and Charley were beating the old
man in a brutal manner. Pine and some
citizens went to interfere when Frank Gal
lup, without a moments warming, saos
Pine dead. In answer to the cal of Sheriff
Skinner, Captain Mount armed company

OF the murderer of Pine endeavored to
entice the militia into the house,
protesting TO know nothing about
Franks position. Finding this useless
this female iend aud her son issued forth
and commenced firing, the womau Gallup
supplying her precious offspring with am
munition.
The yard became a regular sHambles.
Pine lay dead outside the fence; Bird Rice
received his death wound and fell to the
ground, at the same moment dischargiug
his rifle at Gallup, but missing him. Cal
lup rushed lound an angle of the house
and was shot dead by plucky young
member of company Z named Marine
Fletcher, the bullet passing through the
body and lodging in the wall of the lo1se
To-day the walls and floors OF the
porch denote the horrible butchery enacted.
Blood on the fence and sidewalks make
spectator sick at heart. Old man Gallup
and wife were hustled out of town Satur-
day at midnight by the sheriff. There Is a
rumor that they will be brought back to
testify before the coroner, If they are
they viii surely be Iynched.
At this writing the streets are filing up
and excitement runs high. The jury has
not yet concluded their investigation.
Pines body will be sent to GaIesburg III,
for burial. Mount and his men are highly
commended for their behavior, Private
Fletcher particularly for his pluck.
Pine, the man killed, was the father Of
the little girl assaulted the day before 1t
was at first reported that the two cases had
some connection, but this is not true. The
tragedy is the bloodiest in the history Of
western Iowa.

Another Account.


CHICAGO, H., August IA Time
special tells of sanguinary conflict late
last night at Shenandoah, Ia, in which
three men were killed outright and several
wounded. one of whom will die. The 70
port says: Frank Gallup, the member Of >
rather tough family, began beating
his aged father. A number Of
citizens intertered, when young Gallup
fired into the crowd, killing F. K. Pine.
The unexpected shot and dire consequences
following it threw the citizens into con-
fusion, but they soon rallied and made an
advance TO the house, into which Gallup
had retreated. The young desperate soon
appeared with two revolvers, and opened
fusilade with deadly effect. The first man
to fall was David Campbell, who was fatal
" wounded.
THE NEXT VICTIM
was BIRD O. Rice, shot through the heart
and dying instantly. 7. H. Winfrey was
the last man to drop, with bullet through
his leg. In the meantime old man GaiIup
was shot through the shoulder, but it is not
known by whom. Young Gallup returned
to the house and began making
preparations for escape, when Nor
ney Fletcher fred a shot from
a rifle which, it was subsequently ascer-
tanned, went through the desperado's two
arms and body, killing him instantly.
This letter fact was not known the crowd
until Gallup's wife cried out to the crowd
TO stop firing, that her husband was dead.
The citizens fearing treachery called her
out and giving her . rope, told her 10
fasten it
ABOUT HER HUSBANDS
neck. This she did, and the wholesale
murderer's naked body was dragged
through the streets until it was frightfuIIy
mutilated. 1t was finally deposited on the
floor Of the city hall, where it was viewed
by hundreds of citizens during the
day. Old. Man Gallup and his wife were ar
rested and lodged in Jail. The two dead
men, Pine and Rice, as well as the wound
ed, we're prominent citizens. There is no
chance for CampbelIs recovery and bis
death is expected momentarily. Pines
body has been taken to Galesburg H., Tor
intsrment.
Shenandoah is the town in which Chs
night before Fred Phillips outraged the lit
tie 6-year old daughter Of Pine, the man
who lost his life, for which he was treated
to a coat Of tar and feathers by an angry
pOpulace, and finally strung up to a tele-
graph pole until he confessed his crime
