[CArson Appeal
Over twenty years ago jerome B. Cox
did some contract work for Charles Nc
Laughlin. The price of the service was
nearly 100000. Mclaughlin refused to
pay, not because he did not owe the
money, but because he thought he could
worry Cox and defer the payment as a
compromise.
Cox sought justice in the courts. He
was awarded Judgment in full account by
the jury. 1t was appealed to the Su.

MORE OF THAT KILLING.

Acknowledgement Bradford Investigating
the Stevens County (xan.) Killings
d. LIBERAL, Kan, Aug. 1.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Bradford, Brigadier- General Meyers
and his staff officer, Captain John A. Wal
lace, who went TO Stevens County last
Sunday to investigate the killing of Sheriff
Cross and his three deputies, returned to
Liberal this morning at two O'Clock and
will leave for home this afternoon. The
party visited Hugoton, Woodsdale and
voorhees, in Stevens County and also went
to the Neutral Strip, where they found the
blood-bespattered place where the five
men had been shot down.
General Bradford examined a large
number of people in the different towns
and all the witnesses to the shooting af-
fair. Herbert Toney was examined by
him and his testimony is in every essen
tial the same his statement at Woods
dale and his post-mortem statement at
Voorhees,, which was given to the press
last week. His statement is corroborated
by the two haymskers, Scott and House,
who were encamped near the spot where
the tragedy was enacted.
Toney and House say that Cross and his
men had fastened their rifles to the saddles
of their horses before they lay down, but
Scott is not quite certain whether they did
this or not. This is the only point in which
they differ. '... ..
Their testimony is to the fact that Sheriff
Cross and his party arrived at the camp
tired and worn out, that they asked per-
mission of the haymakers to lie down and
rest, that they were lying down appre-
hending no danger when they were sud-
denly surrounded by Robinson and his
men and shot down without having any
chance to defend themselves. All of these
witnesses say that not one shot was fired
by Sheriff Cross or byany one of his men.
General Bradford has gathered great
amount of testimony which he will submit
to the Governor. General Meyers found
that no troops were needed.
Business is reported to be at a stanostiIl
at Hugoton and Woodsdale. Every body
is armed and ready for an attack.

AS result of the report of Attorney
General Bradford and General Murray
Meyers, Governor Martin ordered the Sec
ond regiment, under command of Colonel
L. N. Woodcock, to proceed at once to
Stevens County and quell the disturbances
there. The regiment is about 600 strong
and consists of the following companies:
a, Winchester, w. A. Riggs, captain; B,
Wellington, J. F. Hubbard, captain;
G, Winfield, Ben S. Henderson,
captain; d, Newton, Harry C.
Smith, Captain; E, Eldorado, James R
Walker, Captain; +, Larned, David A.
King, Captain; G, Marion, Ferd Lewis,
Captain; H, Sterling, Jacob S. Kline, Cap
tain. Battery B, of Topeka, with a gat-
ling gun, is also ordered to accompany the
regiment. The troops will be modified
at Hutchinson and proceed by special
train on the Rock Island to Lib
eral, whence they will have to march q
distance of forty miles. General Murray
Meyers will command the troops. The or
ders are to defend the lives and persons of
the inhabitants and see that civil officers
of State, county, towns and townships are
not molested or intimidated while serving
the processes of the civil courts.
Complaints have been filed with United
States Commissioner Wilson, which
charges Robinson and his party with the
murder Of Cross and his posse. United
States Marshal Jones and a sufficient
number Of deputies to make the ar
rests and bring the men safely to this
city will serve the warrants. The COM
plants were filed at the instance of
United States Attorney Perry, who pro-
poses to see il he can not chalk out some
line of policy in their prosecution which
will insure them the deserts they SO we'll
merit and place them beyond the possible
ity of their repeating their crime.
Hermann Conn, of voorhees,, has been
appointed sheriff of Stevens County to
succeed Cross on the recommendation of
Attorney General Bradford and General
Meyers, who after familiariZing themselves
thoroughly with the real situation con-
cluded that Conn was a proper person to
hold Office and discharge the duties, as he
is an ally Of neither of the contending
factions.

Trouble arose last night over disagree

their pay at once Henry Jones, the pay
master, arrived with the money, and was
at once besieged by the Italians, each of
whom demanded his pay first and dis
puted the amount. They became violent,
and secured a rope with which to hang
Jones. At this juncture a sherif's posse
arrived and dispersed the rioters for the
time being. The feeling against them
among the Americans is very bitter, and
they threaten to clean them all out.

pulling up pretty close to the
front and Murphy thought to
do his share in getting in an extra run
or two by stealing a few more bases
than usual. He therefore appeared on
the field one afternoon with long pair
of white cotton gloves which reached to
his shoulders. These he carried over to
the vicinity of first base and quietly laid
them down to sun. The bleaching
boards caught on to what they were and
began guying him at once. Pretty soon
Murphy made a base hit and donned the
gloves. The pitcher, observing that the
gauntlet had been thrown down to him,
gave the catcher wink, pitched an
easy one wide, and Murphy was easily
caught. This tickled the crowd i'm
mensely. Murphy laid the whole trOu-
BILE to the gloves and threw them away
in disgust. Though not the heaviest
batter in the st. Paul team, Manager
Barnes rarely gave him other than first
place in the batting list, as he was rea-
sonabiy sure to paste the ball over back
of second base, and, once on base, he
is hard to keep there. His fielding has
always been marvel of accuracy, and
his errors have generally resulted from
taking desperate chances. In game
last summer on the st. Paul grounds a
sky scraper was driven to Murphy's
garden. The crowd was paralyZed to
see the fleet-foOted fielder plunge off
through space in an opposite direction,
but, after running twenty feet, he
whirled about and got under the ball in
time to retire the side at time when it
had a chance to tie the score. Muir
