A PATHETIC BORDER FUNERAL.

It was a touching sight to see
how the boys stood around the dead
body of Briggs and endeayored to
hide their emotion and failed. The
tears ran down the face of. Arkan-
saw Bob like rain off the gable end
of a corn-crib, and Ted Williams
and Jim Henderson and several
more bowed their heads, while their
forms shook with the sobs they
would not allow to escape. The
boys dug a grave on the banks of
the Brazos river, and that night as
the clouds drifted away and the
moonlight fell upon the snow-cov-
cred ground and sparkled the ice
laden limbs of the forest trees, we
laid poor Briggs down in hisnarrow
restil1g-place. The only requiem
that was sung was the roar of the
turbid Brazos-as it surged along orr
its way to the sca-a mass sung by
nature. When the grave had been
filled jim Henderson said: Il
think we ought to have some kind
of service. It amt right, by a darn
sight, to go away without sayin'
somethin' over the grave-any you
fellows got a Bible?" No one had
a Bible, nor had any one seen one
in number Of years. swell, sup
pose some one says a sort of prayer.
The boys scratched their heads,
glanced at one another for a mo-
ment, and then looked away off in
to the woods. Finally some one
whispered, "Sishl Arkansaw Bob's
goin' to pray" and he did
20 Lord" he said, II guess in
your opinion I'm pretty tough, but
I amt askin' nothin' for myself
it's for Briggs. He is dead now,
but was as white a man as ever
walked. He never did no man
hurt, and he had a heart in him as
big as mule, and no one as I've
heard ever said a word agin him. l
don't know as what I say will have
much influence, but Briggs stood
we'll with us down here, and al
though don't know much about
his career, or his history, or his
family, he was man you could
bank on every clatter. He gave a
sick Mexican four dollars and fifty
cents once for medicine, and then
turned right round and nursed him
through fever, but the internal
Greaser hadn't been we'll NOR two
days before he stole Briggs saddle
bags. All! Lord, there amt any
preacher nowhere round here, or
we'd had him to say something
more p'inted to you than I can say
it. | never battered any with the
Bible, and can't just now remember
II hymn song, but I'm a man of my
world mean what say-and
Briggs, if he gets chance, will
make good record in heaven as
any one who ever got there. He
had, away down in his heart some
thing that was square and as true
as steel and, 0 Lord you mustn't
go back on that kind of man,
scause they're too skeerce in these
parts. Amen"
The prayer was as rough as Bob,
but no more sincere, as was evil
denced by his fearful eye and trem-
bling lip. After the prayer the boys
ranged themselves on one side of
the grave, and, drawing their six
shooters, fired a salute over their
dead comrade, and while the sharp
were still echoing through
the forest they turned and left the
scene.

TAsCOTT,s LAST MESSAGE.
Another Smell Murderer Tells Where His

WAUKEGAN, H., May 26.-The latest
Tascott sensation has bobbed up in this
city. Some fishermen while out on the
lake captured a bottle, tightly corked,
which, on being broken, was found
to contain one Of Chief Hub
bard's $4,000 reward circulars
and letter purporting to be
from W. B. Tascott. The letter was
written with lead pencil on paper
torn from note book, and the hand
writing is a trife smoother than the
specimen shown in the reward circular.
Following is copy of the letter. cite

AGAINST ALL LICENSE.
The Methodist Conference Takes UP the
Liquor Question.

NEW York, May pa red hot dis
cussion opened to-day's session of the
general Methodist conference, the in
evitable wrangle being precipitated by
the question of placing the church on
record as opposed to laws licensing
liquor traffic and in favor of complete
legal prohibition. The discussion was
finally completed by the passage of the
following resolution, which was ordered
placed in the discipline of 1883:
I'VE are unalterably opposed to the
enactment Of laws that propose, by IL
cense. taxing, or otherwise, to regulate
the drink traffic, because thay provide
for its continuance and afford
no protection against its raw
ages. We hold that the prop
er attitude of Christians towards
this traffic is one of uncompromising
opposition, and while we do not pre-
sumo 10 dictate to our people as to their
political utilization, we do express the
opinion that they shouldn't per-
nit themselves to be con-
trolled by party organizations that
are managed in the interests
of the liquor traffic. We advise the
members of our church to aid III the en-
forcement Of such laws as DO not legal
re OF euuOree The ndnuaClufe anu
sale OF intoXicants to be used
as beverages; and to this end
we favor the organization Of the
law and order leagues wherever
practicable. We proclaimed as our
motto, voluntary total abstinence from
all intoXicants as the true ground OF
personal temperance, and complete
legal prohibition of the traffic in intoxi-
eating drinks as the duty of civil gov
eminent.
The conference to-day elected j. NJ.
Phillips and S. B. Hunt as book agents
for New York, and Earl Cranston, of
Colorado, and w. P. Stowe, Of Wiscon-

A Mass Meeting in Chicago Prote SITS
Against the Councils Action.
4 monster meeting of representative
citizens of all parties and denomina-
tons was held at Central Music Hall,
Chicago, on the afternoon of the 9th,
to protest against the refusal Of the
City Council to prohibit saloons within
200 feet of churches and school houses.
Warm speeches were made by a num-
Der of the most prominent ministers
and lawyers in the city and letter
endorsing the movement was read
from Archbishop Feehan. In view of
the contemptuous reception accorded
by the aldermen and saiOonkeepers to
the previous moderate request, it was
decided to enlarge the issue, and de-
mand the closing of saloons on Sunday
as well as their removal from the neigh
borhood of churches and schools. A
committee was appointed to present
the matter to the city council. The
proceedings were marked by great
harmony and the applause which fol-
lowed every criticism voiced in the
platform against the city council was
prolonged, enthusiastic and significant.
Every seat in the auditorium was occu-
pied and many stood in the passage
ways. Most of the speakers and several
OF the prominent guests naQ Cna1rS on
the stage, but at the close of the regular
programme several speeches were
made from the body of the hall.
1t was agreed to invite the co-opera-
ton of the Citizens League with the
committee to be appointed by the meet
ing in presenting the petition to the
council and then act further as a COM
mittee OF safety. Seven gentlemen were
selected to act as the committee as fol-
lows: Arthur Little, chairman, E. F.

An Aged Couple and Two Children Muir
dered for Money.
The most shocking tragedy ever
known in the annals of Vernon County
is reported from the town OF Kickapoo,
twelve or fifteen miles southeast of
Viroqua, where four persons were muir
dered on the evening of the oath. The
lifeless remains of Mr.. and Mrs. Reuben
Drake, an aged an respectable couple,
and the remains of their two grand
children were found next morning.
The old man and his wife had
been shot in their own home
and their bodies were found on the floor
by neighbor who happened to call. A
hasty search for the two little children,
aged and 5 years. quickly revealed
their terrible fate. The bodies Of both
were found in their little bed, which
was drenched in blood. The Threats of
both had been cut by the murderous
wretch who had undoubtedly entered
the house for the purpose of robbery
and had sacrificed their lives to prevent
the possibility of his Identification.
