this kind without editorial comment, and
it is misleading. Evidently the writer
means to have the crockery take the
place of the shells in furnishing lime for
making egg shells and bone, but their
only benefit would be taking the place OF
pebbles, such as chickens desire and re-
quire for proper grinding of their food in
the gizzard. They contain no lime, and
ground shells are necessary in addition.

any of your correspondents to the neces-

no doubt it would be benefit, and very
finely broken crockery might furnish a

THE BOOMERS.

Inc santa F'e Railway Investigating q
Recent Sensational Report.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, April S.-The Off
clals of the Santa Fe railway are busy IN
vestigating the story that the boomers
had banded together for the purpose of
destroying railroad bridges on the night
of April 2l in order to obstruct the influx
of the homesteaders until the men con
cealed in the country could make perfect
their claims.
1t appears that the boomers in hiding
are desperate. They have selected and
watched their claims for years, and they
now fear that the new corners with the
assistance of rapid transit may get the
best of them. There was meeting of
these boomers held in the timber near
Oklahoma city last Thursday and they
oanvassed the situation. After the meet
ing adjourned the Santa Fe agent re-
ceived notice that the bridges would be
burned and trains stopped on April 22.
Detectives have been sent along the line
through the country and every precaution
will be taken to prevent railway obstruc-
ton. There are twice as many people
now on the borders as can be accom-
modated under the homestead act in
Oklahoma.

Confession of Ellison Hatfield, One of the
Murderers of the Mccoy Boys.
WHEELING, W. Va, April 8.-ElIison
Hatfield, one of the participants in the
Hatfield Mccoy feud, who is confined in
Peek county jail, Kentucky, has made a
confession to State Attorney Lee Fergu-
son:
II was present." he said, "and particl-
pated in the murder of the three McOoy
brothers-Tolbert, Fairly and Randolph
The brotherswere taken from school house
in Logan county at West Oak, where they
had been guarded for few days, and
brought over Tug river which separated
West Virginia from Kentucky, A bout so
feet from the river carpenter tied them
to pawpaw bush and hung lantern over
their heads. Anse Hatfield then said to
them: Boys, if you have any peace to
mako with your maker, you had better
make it. Tolbert and Randolph began
praying, but Fairly did not. However
before the boys had time to finish their
prayers John Hatfield shot Fairly dead
Anse then gave orders to fire, and shot
as he gave the word killing Tlabert and
then emptying the contents of his revol
yer MO his dead body. Alex Musser then
killed Randolph Mccoy. Others followed
suit and all the bodies were riddled with
bullets.
After the boys were killed, Will Hatfield
administered an oath to all Of us, binding
us to take the life of the first who di,
vulged the name of any who were at the
murder.
Captain Hatfield said he and Tom Wal
lace shot JEFF Mccoy after he had escaped
from them. The prisoner also gave the
particulars of the brutal murder of Afford
and Alvin Mccoy in which he took part.
Nine of the Hatfield faction, on a Sunday
night in January 1888, crossed the river
into Kentucky under command of Jim
Vance. They surrounded the Mccoy
homestead, fred the house and killed the
girl as she attempted to extingush the
flames. Captain and JOHN Hatfield both
claimed they killed Calvin Mccoy, and

CHICAGO.
The Scheme to Overthrow the
City Election Failed to
MaterIalize.
The Striking Carpenters of st.
LOUIS to Have a Big Demon
stratlon.

CHICAGO, April 9.-The proposed scheme
to keep the democratic may elect out OF
Office, by having last Tuesdays election
declared illegal, did not materialize this
morning. Lawyer Stivens, who applied
for an INDUCTION last evening and was told
by Judge Jamison to come into court this
morning, did not appear, nor did the
election commissioner whom Mr.. Stivens
was to notify of his application for an
order of court to keep them from count
ing the ballots.
Master in Chancery Boyle, who ex-
amined Mr.. Stivens' bill and reported in
favor of an I'M unotion, was seen by the
reporters.
Mr.. Boyle said they asked nm Injunction
to restrain the election commissioners
from counting the vote cast in section 20
of the town of Jefferson. Under the de-
cision of the supreme court, rendered a
few days before the election, that Sec
ton became part of the town of West
Chicago, and it is commended it will be I'M
fair to count its vote with the vote cast in
Jefferson. Complainant in this bill is
Russell, republican candidate for assessor
in Jefferson, who is defeated if section rs
is counted, and who will be declared
elected if it can be thrown out. Mr..
Boyle said that whether the decision of
the supreme court affected the vote for
mayor in Chicago was grave question,
the Russels bill had nothing to
do with the city proper.

Iowa Land Troubles.

Fort DoOaE, Ia, April 9.-President
Boynton, of the Settlers union, has re-
nounced all responsibility of that organi-
cation for the present acts of violence.
This conservative policy does not find
favor with the radical element of the Or
ganization. A secret meeting of the radi-
Gals was held on Samuel Hoffners farm
Sunday to determine the future line of
action. 1t is understood that the present
aggressive policy will be continued, and
settlers will maintain possession of their
homes at all hazards. The receipt of the
news from Washington of Secretary No
ble's action in urging the attorney general
to the prom pit ms sitution of suit to quiet
titles in disputed lands creates great JOY
in the river land district.

FROM ROUND ROCK.

Doctor Wooten's Opinion of the Terrible
Disease Now Prevailing There.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
ROUND Rock, April 9.-This iowa is
terribly excited over dreadful disease
Two sons of Mrs. j. j. Boone, widow of a
son of exAttorney General P. N. Boone,
were seized with something like spotted
fever and died two hours afterwards, the
spots turning black after death. Doctor
Wooten, of Austin, was telegraphed,
and spent Monday with Mrs.
Boone, who was also seized with
the disease. He pronounced it menin-
gifts. 1t is supposed to have been
brought to Round Rock by Mr.. Wilson,
father of Mrs. Boone, who came from
Brennan last week, where it is said a
number of deaths have recently occurred
from the same disease. Doctor Wooten
said it was contagious; that it was gen.
orally confined to people under
35 years, particularly children, and
that about 95 per cent of the cases
proved fatal. Several families near the
fatal houses have moved to the country.
The schools are disturbed, and fear
and suspense are felt all over the town.

BoUIANaER's TRIAL.
PARIS, April 9.-The chamber of depu-
ties to-day discussed the bill to prescribe
the mode of procedure to be followed by
the senate when sitting as court for the
trial of General Boulanger. M. Delafosse
denounced the measure as a mookery of
Justice and an insult to the public con-
science. He declared that the enate, be-
ing political society, could not act i'm
partially in this case. This assertion
caused a great uproar. Mem
bers exchanged abusive epithets,
and the scene was one of wild
disorder. The president of the chamber
repeatedly called the house to order and
urged members to observe moderation in
the discussion. When Delafosse was al
lowed to continue he said law and de-
cency required General Boulanger to be
tried at once. To go without trial
would be an outrage on justice and the
decenoy of the senate.
These remarks caused renewed uproar.

TExARKANA, April 8.-The Kansas City
Texarkana and Shreveport railroad COM
menced grading the road going north
from this place to-day. This road, though
all on the Arkansas side, parallels the
Texarkana Northern, which is built on
the Texas side, and will make it what is
probably intended, logging road. Mr..
Forsman asked for no contributions and
nothing but the right-of-way. He had
little to say, but evidently means business
from the number of teams and hands he
has put to work. The engineers are now
locating on the Red river, and will con-
tinue locating until another connection is
made.

APENNSYL VANIA OUTRAGE,

A Citizen Assaulted by Masked Men for
Purpose of Robbery.
BUTLER, Pa, April 9.-Lewis Patterson
Butler, prominent and wealthy farmer
living near Catterville, this county, was
assaulted last night by three masked men.
There was no one in the house with him
at the time but his mother, 80 years old 1.
She heard noise and called to him. He
turned toward window and
saw three men who called
to him to come out.
Upon refusing they burst in the door, and,
as the first man entered, Patterson felled
him with poker. The others over
powered him, however, and, dragging him
barefooted to the barn, they threatened
to hang him if he refused to tell them
where he kept his gold. When he declared
he had none they placed a rope around
his neck, but as he still persisted that he
had no money they concluded to torture
him by roasting his feet at the
fire in the house. He was taken
back to the house, and, after securing $43
in money and Mr.. Patterson's gold watch
they departed, declaring that if he moved
until they were gone half an hour he would
be shot dead. There is no positive clue
to the desperadoes, but every effort will be
made to run them down.
