SHENAN DoAH, Iowa, Aug. 3-Great ex. citement still prevails here over the ter, rible tragedies of Saturday night. Hun dreds of people came to the city yesterday from the surrounding country by special trains to visit the scene of the conflict. Continued streams or people have been passing all day to any from the old Gallup residence to view the body of the dead m urderer as 1t lay in the city fire engine hoxse The lateness of the hour prevented full particulars of the murder and the events followidg it from being seut out Saturday night.
 At the home of the Gallup family con- sisting of old Daniel Gullup, hls wife, Frank and Charley, their two sons, Franks wife and sons, small children, a family row was in progress. Frank and Charlie were beating the old man when J. Ries a hardware merchant of this place, Wm. Reinig, drug clerk, and MT. Patterson, a travelling man, went to the house to sec what the trouble was and to assist in re- storing peace, Frank Gallup, without any provocation or warning advanced from the house and drawing a revolver fired shot which enter Pines breast above the heart killing him almost instantly. Those with Pine at once gave the alarm and in few minutes at least 800 angry and excited citl- gems were at the scene Of the murder. Frank Gallup was known to be 8 very desperate man when arounsed and it was deemed best to call out the Estate smilitia. On the arrival of the militia Fat the scene a line was formed around the Gallup place. Old man Gallup came to the door anG assured those in front of the house that thsir son Frank was not there, but had fled and invited them to enter and satisfy themselves Hay ing no suspicion of treachery, several of the militia and citizens entered the house. They had searched the cellar and were coming out of 1t when Frank Gallup ap- peared armed with two revolvers. Dave Campbell one of the citizens who was un- armed grappled with him at the door and received probably fatal wound in the neck from the desperado's pistol Stand ing over tho prostrate form of Campbell the desperado reloaded his revolver with cartridges handed him by ono of the wo-, mon and commenced an indiscrimi1ate fire upon those inside. He ran to the rear of the house and encountered Militiaman Bert Rice. Both fired almost at tho same instant Rice's shot, it seems, did not take effect, but the shot from Gallup's pistol entered Rice's bresst, and he died in few moments. Gallup then encountered Morris Fletcher, anothee militiaman, who raised his gun. With the muzZle almost touching gal1up's back he fired. The ball passed clear through Gallup's body. It was not yet known that Gallup was dead, and preparations were continued for a closer investigation and to prevent any further loss of life by the treachery of the other members of the family. In short time Frank Gallup's wife appeared, and stated that her husband was dead, but fearing further treachery rope was passed to her with instructions to put it around his neck. She compiled and Tn this manner the body of the desperado was hauled from where it lay at the rear of the house. Such was the fury of the mob that the corpse was dragged through tho streets at the end of the rope.
 Old man Gallup and his wife have been arrested and sent to Clarinda to stand trial as accomplicss in the nights terrible deeds.
