The Cycle of Crime in Rice.

Lyons Republican
Last Thursday morning Mr.. VIM.
Strong, one of the old time citizens of
northern Rice county, went to the house
of his neighbor. John Walker, and shot
him and his wife, both seriously, but
neither fatally. Mr.. Walker was entire
~ unarmed and started to run, when
Mr.. Strong shot him through the left
shoulder and arm. His wife began beg
ging for the life of her husband, when
Mr.. Strong turned the revolver on her.
The first shot missed, and as she ran a
second shot struck her in the right
shoulder, ploughing its way into her
neck, whence It was cut by attending
physicians. Mr.. Strong claims in ex-
tenuation of the shooting that he had
been talked about and misrepresented.

Most Important Decision Yet Rendered

Kansas City Gazette
The conference between the railroad
commissioners and the general man
ayers of the various railroads in Kansas,
which was held at Topeka Tuesday to
consider the recent order made by the
commissioners making a reduction in
the merchandise rates to Wichita, gath
cred a large number of prominent rail-
road officials as well as the representa-
tive business men of numerous cities
which are greatly interested in the ques-
ton of freight rates. 1t is apparent
that this Wichita decision is one of the
most important orders ever promulgated
by the railroad commissioners of this
state. 1t has attracted attention not
only throughout Kansas, but in railroad
and financial circles in the east.

Horrible Death.

A special to the Louisville Courier
Journal dated Somerset, KY, Sept. 3,
says:
William Oates, a prominent and
wealthy farmer residing q few miles
from Monticello, left home on bust
ness with his wife and left two young
daughters in charge Of the house.
Oates had in his employ q negro boy,
nearly full grown, who, knowing the
older people were away, entered the
house and, after locking the door up
on the two young girls, assaulted the
youngest, aged twelve years. The
other girl escaped from the room, and
going to neighbours gave the alarm.
A posse Immediately organized and
started in pursuit Of the negro. He
was caught in the woods and tied to
stake. A rail pen was built around
him, and coil oil was poured over him
and upon the rails. A match was
applied and the negro burned to
death.
