NO MERCY SHOWN.
DesperadoeS Shot in Their Camp
Seventeen Horse Thieves Killed by
Western Farmers.

Paladora, Public Land Strip, l. T.,
Sept. 1.-For some time past quite
number of horses and cattle had
mysteriously disappeared from this
and other neighborhood in the strip,
being taken from the pastures and
picket lines of the settlers and herds
men.
Suspicion pointed to a band of
campers in the brakes of Deer creek,
who were there ostensibly for the
purpose of catching wild horses, and
a strict watch was kept over their
camp.
The night following their discov-
cry the camp was surrounded by 40
well armed and mounted vigilants,
who sent in committee of six to de-
mand the surrender of the outlaws
and submission to an investigation.
The reply of the desperadoes was a
volley, which wounded one man and
two horses.
This was the signal for the attack
and from each projecting peak
| around the ravine where the camp
was located, as fast as the Winches-
ters could be worked, volleys were
poured upon the wretched outlaws
without mercy. When they discov.
cred they were surrounded and re-
treat cut off they fought with des-
peration, but no living thing could
long exist in such a fire and no quar-
ter given.
In twelve minutes the firing ceased
and seventeen lawless men lay bleed
ing corpses or writhing in the ago.
MES of death.
| The yigilants had three men killed
and ten wounded. Two horses were
killed and seven wounded and six
| teen horses were retaken and return
ed to their owners. Several Others
near the camp were killed and wound
ed.
The settlers think that at least ON
gang of outlaws has been subdued

GOOD FOR WORkINGME\.
What the Mills Bill Means For the
People.

l. It means cheaper clothing
The Mills bill takes the tax or duty
off from wool, thus reducing the cost
of woolen goods, and enabling the
workingman to buy for the same
price he pays to-day clothing that
will contain less shoddy and more
wool.
2. It means cheaper food. The
workingman now pays heavy tax
On every pound of salt and sugar
that he uses. The Mills bill takes
the duty off from salt entirely, and
reduces that On sugar.
3. It means cheaper houses. The
home of every mechanic in the land
costs far more than it ought to, owing
to the taxes on the materials used in
it's construction, levied for the sole
benefit of the forest owners of Mich
igan and Maine and the mine owners
of the Western and Middle States.
The Mills bill puts lumber, brick and
building stone on the free list, and
reduces the tax on iron, copper, lead,
zinc, paint, slate, tools, and other
articles used in building.
4. 1t means less rent to pay. The
less the cost of building, the more
houses will be built and in the
market.
5. It thus means more employ
ment for the multitude of people
engaged in or dependent Oh the
building trades.
6. 1t means more employment fol
those engaged in woolen manu-
factures. The manufacturer gets hi:
material cheaper, can thus sell his
manufactured goods cheaper without
cutting wages, finds wider market
and will thus extend his plant ant
business.
| Z. It does not mean free trade
but lower duties on the raw materi
ais of manufacture and the necessa
ries of life.
s It means, in short, that th
democratic party has to-day, as eve,
the interests of the laboring classe
nearest to- It's heart, and is now adve
eating in the Mills bill measur
that will necessarily increase th
welfare and prosperity of the laborin
people of this country.

COWBOYS Drowned while Asleep.

Pueblo Col, Aug. 31-Word has
been received of the drowning Of
FIVE cowboys in the northwestern
part of Pueblo county, just west OF
Pixies Peak, while attending a cattle
roundup. Last night seven OF them
pitched their camp on the Beaver
creek. small stream that usually
has no water in it. Being tired all
slept sound, paying no attention to
the slight shower that came up
during the night. It however proved
to be the edge of large black cloud
that burst a short distance above
them and the result was breast of
water six feet deep swept down upon
them carrying everything before it.
The sleepers were carried down but
two of them saved themselves by
clinging to branches of trees.

John 4. Giibreath Refuses to Fight
Fate.

Appleton City. Mo, Aug. 30.-Quite

was occasloned here to-day by let
ter published IL the Journal. the
republican paper. written by John

been one of the most bitter and out

Withdrawal from the political arena.
IN 1854 Mr.. Gilbreath. who is quite
brilliant attorney, made a large
number of republican speeches at
different points in the state and sent
printed copy Of his speeches to
James G. Blaine. The Maine states
man returned the courtesy by toward
ing MIR. Gilbreath an elegantly bound
volume bearing his compliments and
autograph. Mr.. Gilbreath uses the
following language in his letter,
which is sufficient evidence that he
has lost faith in republican prom
ises:
"Owing to the fact that in previous
political campaigns I have been will

all circumstances to lend my voice
and devote my time in sustaining

republican friends at various places
in the Twelfth district to address
them. After having written mum
