CARRIED OFF BY AN EAGLE.
A Kansas Farmers Two Months Old Babe
Prey for Birds.

Wichita, Kansns, special, of Monday, to
the Denver News: The babe of farmer,
William Beattie, who lives on the CHINA
mon river, north of the territorial line,
was carried off by an eagle yesterday.
Beattie went to work in the morning,
leaving in his dugout his two children,
one 5years old and baby aged 2 months.
About noon Beattie returned home and
found his girl in tears. She said she had
taken the baby into the yard, and left it
while she went into the house. In a few
minutes she heard a cry and, on looking
out, saw the baby flying away, as she ex-
pressed it.
The father knew at once that an eagle
had visited his home, and he sum
moned his neighbors to the wooded banks
of the river for which the eagle had made.
In about an hour the sound of a shot
summoned the searchers together One
of the men had found the eagle and had
emptied his gun at it and broken wing,
and was using his gun as club when re-
Inducements arrived. The eagle futter
ed into the brush and then the father
saw his infant dead, the body horribly
lacerated and part gone.

MEMPHIS, October 3.-A terrible trag-
edy was enacted yesterday afternoon
about four miles from this city, at Gill's
station The particulars are as follows:
A party of three white men, j. d. Smith,
w. w. Eastman and J. E. Gordon, all res
dents of Memphis, took trip on the
dummy line, which runs near Miles sta
tlon They we're strolling about, and
Smith, seeing mule in the road, remark
ed that he thought he would take ride.
AS he approached the animal Jim Conley,
a negro, called out to them to let the mule
alone, at the same time applying epithets.
Smith and Eastman started towards him,
but Jordan demonstrated against their
going, but they entered the yard. Conley
ran into the house and shut the door. A
second afterwards shotgun was thrust
through the window and discharged. The
contents struck Eastman IN the head,
killing him instantly. Smith ran over to
where Eastman was, and as he was bend
ing over the dead body the other barrel
of the gun was discharged. He was struck
in the left side with several buckshot and
is mortally wounded. Conley fled after
the shooting. He has been sexton of the
Sons of Zion cemetery fourteen years,
within the grounds of which the killing
occurred. The jury at the inquest held
on Eastman exonerated Conley, who, it
was proved, was defending his house from
assault.

WE'RE CHEERED TO THE ECHO.
The Marysville democrats are not dead
nor sleeping, and the common sense talk
of the speakers last night added voters to
the democratic ranks After the speak
ing the Flambeau club paraded the streets
giving a fine display. The visit was un-
doubtedly profitable one for the democ
racy and will have it's effect. It was after
s o'clock when the meeting was called to
order and the exercises Of the evening

order by Mr. Turner introducing Major
Maginnis, who made a rousing speech,

received with cheers. Mr.. Clark made a
fine speech. He wished to say that the
statement made by the Hon. Judge
Knowles, as sent out in the morning dis
patches, was false. He defed Judge
Knowles or any one else to say that he
had ever intimated or asked any of his
men to vote for any one. He also said
ondU IL lG COulu uOo OO ClOSoOA W Ao1AA
means he would say
''MR. CARTER, GO TO CONGRESS"
Mr.. Clark discussed the tariff question
from it's origin to the present time. He
also discussed Mills bill, showing the fall
lacy of the claims of republican orators
in claiming it was free trade measure.
Referring to wool, Mr.. Clark said the TAX
ing off of the tax would not harm Mon
tana at ALL We raised grade of wool
here which could only be used for certain
things. The speaker closed by touching
on the silver question. He said silver had
declined, but it was due to the law of sup
ply and demand. Speaking of the admis-
sion of Montana into the union, Mr.. Clark
said the democratic party was pledged to
use all it's efforts to that end. Mr.. Clark
sat down amid perfect storm of cheers.
Col. w. 7. Pemberton, of Butte, was
introduced and made series of witty re-
marks. He held the audience while
speaking, and every point he made was
cheered Col. Pemberton closed by quot
ing the eleventh commandment: "Fear
God, hate snakes, love the women and
vote the democratic ticket" The meet
ing closed with three rousing cheers for

A WORD FROM WORD.
He Answers Charge Made Against Him by
Carter.

Hons. w. A. Clark and Samuel Word
spoke to large and enthusiastic meeting
at Townsend last Saturday evening. In
the course of Mr.. Words speech he said
in substance: Now, Mr.. President, l
come to point which is most unpleasant
to me. I am not running for any Office;
I am not seeking any honors at the hands
of the people of Montana [ came here
tonight at the request and in the interest
of the candidacy of the Hon. W. A. Clark
as delegate to congress. | didn't even
know that [ was to speak here until an
hour before [ started, I had made no
campaign speeches in this campaign
until this evening. What was my sur
prise, then, to find upon my arrival in
your beautiful and thrifty little city that
I had been most maliciously attacked by
the would-be delegate to congress on the
republican ticket at meeting here last
evening.
LET Me SAY
to you that if am incorrectly informed
and there is friend of Mr.. Carter pres
ent, be he republican or democrat, [ ask
that he may correct me, because [ dc not
desire to do the man an injustice. His al
legation, as I understand it, was that a
railroad in which may haYe been inter
ested, from it's failure to pay it's employees
forced them into the poor house or upon
the charity Of Yellowstone county. Now,
[ was but director in that road, and in
terested in the coal fields which it is de-
signed to develop and furnish better and
cheaper coal to the people of this terri
tory. AS such director [ signed a con-
tract with Dennis Ryan, of st. Paul, to
build that line. He failed to carry out
his covenants of the contract because he
was embarrassed by the antagonisms of
two great railroad corporations. What
ever sufferings the men may have exper-
fenced was because of the
DEFAULT OF THE CONTRACTORS.
Mr.. Clark knows nothing about this mat
ter, nor are he or his friends responsible
for that business, nor for what shall say
in regard to it. will say that it does not
become Mr.. Carter, who aspires to the
highest Office in the gift of the people of
this territory, to assail anybody on prop
osition like this. He had hardly shaken
the dust of the states from his shoes be-
fore he was holding the Office of public
administrator in this country. During
his term of Office men made their wills,
and the death rate decreased about one
hundred per cent. Go ask him what be-
came of the box and the coupons which
were trimmed off the bonds in the Weir
estate. Don't ask the chairman of the
republican territorial committee, because
that would not be proper.
GO ASK LEHMAN
about the Rieberg estate. Now, mark
you, I make no accusation against Mr..
Carter. Ny opinion has not yet been ex-
pressed on these matters; [ simply tell
you to ask about these things, to institute
your own inquiries. Mr. Carter is my
fellow townsman and my neighbor.

A SEDUCER SHOT.
An ssnraged Husband Daes UP His Wifes
Paramour.

BILLINGS, October 8-trhe sounds OF
pistol shots in the southern portion of our
usually quiet town alarmed our citizens
this morning about s o'clock, and the
spectacle of man running bareheaded
up the street toward the Jail induced
several men to run to the dwelling OF
Peter Kleihen, from whence the sound
proceeded, where they found Joseph
McGregor bathed in his blood, which
was pouring from bullet wounds inflicted
by the jealous and enraged Kleihen, who
had by this time given himself up to the
authorities. McGregor has been suspect
ed for some time past of undue intimacy
with Mrs. Kleihen by her husband, and
the latter short time ago went to Liv-
ingston and procured employment, send
ing money from time for the support Of
his family and endeavoring to induce his
wife to join him at that place, hoping
thus to silence the tongue of scandal and
break up the unhappy condition of affairs
Last night, unsatisfed, and with many
disappointments Mr.. Klelhen returned
unexpectedly from Livingston and find
ing McGregor in his house opened upon
him with fusilade of shots, doing no
damage but compelling the intruder to
retire from the premises. This morning,
when McGregor returned for his effects,
he was greeted by three shots from A
calibre revolver before he could use his
weapon-two of which took effect. One
shot struck him in the nose, and ranging
downward lodged in the jaw-bone. The
other bullet entered the left arm about
the elbow and has not been located yet.
The victim is seriously wounded and may
not recover. Kleihen will be examined in
a Justices court tomorrow.
