A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Fight in Which Several Citizens
Are Killed and Wounded,
THE DEED OF A DESPERADO
Who Kills Three Men and Wounds
Several who Attempt to Arrest
Him-HcIs Shot Down-shock-
ing Treatment of His Body.

CHICAGO, August IA Times specia
from Omaha tells OF sanguinary con
flict late last night at Shenandoah, Iowa
in which three men were killed out
right, several wounded, one OF WHOM
will also die. The report says:
Late last night Frank Gallup, the
member of n rather tough family, begar
beating his aged father. So brutal wa
he that number OF citizens interfered
when young Gallup fired into the
crowd, killing F. J. Pine instantly.
The unexpected shot and the dire
consequences following it threw the citi'
zens into confusion, but they soon rallied
and made an advance to the house
whittier Gallup had retreated. The
young desperate soon appeared with
two revolvers, opening n fusilade
with deadly effect. Tho first
man to fall was Dave Campbell, who
was shot through the neck and fatally
wounded. The next victim was Bird o..
Rice, shot through the heart and dying
instantly. l.. II. Winfrey was the last
maj. to drop, with bullet through his
leg. In the meantime old man Gallup
was shot through the shoulder, but it is
not known by whom.
Young Gallupreturned to the house and
was making preparations for an escape,
when Mooney Fletcher fired shot from
Il rifle which il was subsequently, ascer-
taincd went through the desperado's
two arms and through his body, killing
him instantly. The latter fact was not
known to the crowd until Gallup's wife
cried out to the crowd to stop firing, that
her husband was dead.
The citizens, fearing treaChery, called
her out, and giving her rope told her
TO fasten it about her husbands neck.
This she did, and the wholesale murder
er's naked body was dragged through
the street until it was iearfuIiy multi
ated. 1t was finally deposited on the
floor OF the City Hall, where it was
viewed by hundreds during the day.
Old man Gallup and his wife were ar
rested and placed in jail. The two dead
men, Pine and Rice, as well as the
wounded, were prominent citizens.
There is no chance for C8mpbel's re-
covery and his death is expected mo-
mentarily, Pines body has been taken
to Galesburg, Illinois, for inter
ment. Shenandoah is the same
town in which the night before

Two MEN RELEASED.
staplcton and Kimbcr are Dropped by the
Wheeling Club.

Stnpleton and Kimber are Dropped by the
Wheeling Club.
The Wheeling management ut recent
meeting decided that there had to be
some retrenchment in the expenses OF
the team, and with a view to economic
ing Sam Kimber and Ed. stapleton were
released, as they are about the highest
salaried men on the pay roll. They were
released without prejudice. There was
no particular fault found about their
playing, except that while Kimber was
paid the highest salary OF any pitcher in
the team he was not doing any better
work than those who were not drawing
so much money.
1t is probable that Morrison and Yak
will alternate in right field in place Of
Crogan who will be put on first base in
StapletOn's place. Buckenbcrger may
possibly be called on to play in that
garden sometimes. Kimber left for his
home in Philadelphia Saturday evening.
Stapleton is still here. He does not take
kindly to his release, and Ed has many
warm friends in the city who are sorry
to see him go. He will probably sign
with jackson.

Draper into Painting Fit.
PITTsBURoH, August l2.-John Eu-
rich, Fifth avenue tailor, was given a
partial hearing before Judge Stowe, on
bench warrant issued at the instance OF
John B. Ellison & Co., Of Philadelphia.
1t is charged that Zurich concealed aud
disposed OF goods with the intention OF
defrauding his creditors. Attorney
John A. Mattison, OF Philadelphia, ap-
peared for the plaintiff and conducted

ser & Co., Of this city, and that he was
subsequently sold out on that judgment

his store with no apparent change. 1t
was also admitted that after June |, 1883,
Zurich loaned Keyscr 4 Co. 81 500 on
note and still later exchanged checks for
$500 each. Before these latter points
had been brought out Zurich had testi-
fed that John Keyser had called at his
store almost every day asking him to
pay as least a portion OF the money
loaned on the 5000 judgment note.
The Philadelphia attorney worked
Zurich up to point OF intense excite
ment, and when it was proven that he
had paid Keyser's portion nnd the Inter

to the 5000, Zurich became us white us
