MARSHALL, Tex, Dee. Twelve
months ago ex-County Judge w L. :.
Keller entered suit for divorce against
his wife, f.. 5. Keller. Judge Hazel
wood, who was district judge ut the
time, entered a decree giving two of
the children to each of the l%ltigants.
On November - application was made
by the wife to Hon. j. :. DlantOn,
special judge in the case, for an order
to restore to the wife the youngest
daughter. The order WAS granted, and
an officer was sent to San Angelo, the
present residence of Judge Keller. for
the child, which was brought back.
With it came the father. Judge Blan-
ton was ignorant of the order of Judge
Lakewood. Judge Blanton came
down Thursday evening, and com
menced yesterday morning to
investigate the matter. The
court opened mt ten y. nj. W. X.
Greer and 7. T.. Young represented
Judge Keller, and W. ii. Pope, Alex
ander Pope and James Turner repre-
scented the wife. Mr.. Greer addressed
the court ut length on behalf of his
client. When he concluded W. H.
Pope arose and made some remarks, at
which Judge Keller took o!fenSe and
replied to Mr.. Pope in equally offensive
language that so offended Pope that he
grabbed Il gOld-headed cane that was
lying OH the desk in front and hurled
it at Keller, who instantly drew his pis-
toll and commenced firing.
About this time G. II. W~eatherby, a
relative and warm friend of Judge Kel-
Ter, appeared upon the scene and with
pistol in hand opened fire on Pope.
The excitement ut this time can be bet
ter imagined than described. Major
James Turner fell early in the action.
but on examination his wonnd proved
to be only a flesh wound of the ABIDE
men. w. ii. Pope received IL ball in
the left shoulder and one through the
fleshy part of the lower right arm.
Three other bullets passed through his
clothes. His wounds, though painful.
are not considered fatal.
Alexander Pope was shot through
the bowels

ly arrested and placed i'm Jail.

SALT TARIFFS.


The KA1sAS Railroad COmmleS1OoeTs AO'
just the Rates.
TOPEKA. Kan, Dec. S.-The Rail
road Commissioners have rendered
their decision in the matter Of the COM
plant of the Board Of Trade and salt
producers of kinSman of unfair dis
elimination in railroad rates on salt.
The Board. after reviewing the facts In
the case, say:
I'VE are of the opinion that the salt
tariffs to local points need revision in
tho interest of all those concerned.
But this involves so many adjustments,
not only as it respects the salt interests,
but as we'll those that concern the car
riers. that its final consideration will be
entered upon at another time, and
further notice to parties in interest.
Upon the complaint before us we
find and decide that the rate on salt
from kingman. Anthony and Yelling
ton should be the same to all Missouri
river points as the rate Oh like COM
modities from Hutchinson, Nickerson
and Sterling, and the board directs and
orders that such rates be made uniform
from all the points above named.
1.-THE board also finds that the fuel
used in the manufacture of salt is slack
coal supplied from the coal mines of
Southeastern Kansas. The cost of this
per ton delivered at Wellington is S2.45,
and the freight rate is $40; at King
man, 1895, and the freight rate So; at
Anthony S2.75 per ton, and the freight
rate 81. and Hutchinson $40 per ton
and freight rate $3.50. We think that
in justice to so important an industry
as the salt manufacture in this State Il
concession should be made on these
rates as follows:
Rate OH coal slack to Wellington
81. 80 per ton and to all the other points
of salt manufacture in the State $l.5O
per ton. And believing under existing
circumstances that these rates would
be fair and reasonable the board or
ders and directs that these rates on
coal slack, together with uniform rates
on salt to Missouri river points, be
adopted and made effective upon all
railroads operating to any Of the points
named by December Is, 1882"
