HE WAS THE COMMANDER.


Meantime watches had changed and Capt.
Jim was at the wheel. Reilly explained to
him what had occurred and told OF the ex-
element among the soldiers. The Douglass
gradually crawed up on the Roam until
about 10 o'clock, when we were less than
mile behind, with the width of the river be-
tween the bouts The Douglass had demon.
strated superior speed, but the Roam evident
ly had better water on her side of the river,
with less current to contend with, SO that
they were about On equal terms
Thus they ran alea"; until nearly midnight,
when Reilly again c:'ile on watch. Several
times during the night the boats had run
quite close together, and all night excitement
ran high. When Reilly took the wheel Capt
Jim cautioned him to keep the width of the
river between the boats, Ii possible, and to
be very careful, and then retired. His wife
was on the boat, and she sat UP reading after
the old man went to sleep. About 80 O'Clock
she heard shouting and cheering, and looking
out saw that the Roam was coming toward our
side OF the river She reused the captain,
and he jumped up and locked out In an in
slant he saw that we We're nearing another
chute, and the situation was exactly as at the
time the Roam had crossed our bow. With
out waiting toput on his clothes he sprans on
the guards of the cabin deck, and, catching
hold of the low guard rails of the roof, swung
himself up, and in less time than Is required
was standing on the hurricane deck clad only
in his undershirt, drawers and socks. Close
beside him was the captain of the Confederate
troops, while the soldiers completely filled the
upper deck.
1t was evident the same desperate game
W. going to be played by the Roan's pilot,
and it looked as though Reilly was going to
run her down. Capt Jim gave the order to
stop and back. At the same instant the Con-
federate captain pulled his revolver and
pointed 1T at the pilot on the Roam. The

THE TERRY KILLING.


Judge Terry of California killed
Senator Broderick Of that State in
duel before the war. Terry was
Democrat and Broderick an anti
slavery man. 1t was fair fight
though Northern people have never
ceased to call il a murder. OF late
years Judge Terry married some
what notorious and most violent
woman. He became engaged in law
suits and il our memory is correct,
AIRS. Terry recently shot or attepted
to, shoot lawyer in open court. In
violence the pair were well matched
They declared war upon Judges
Field and Sawyer of the United
States Supreme Court, especially the
former. The Attorney General
thought it necessary to call upon the
United States Marshal to appoint
deputies to protect Judge Fields
from violence and being killed while
in the discharge Of his duties. David
Nagle was one of the deputies ap-
pointed: We give his testimony
before the court:
deputy Marshal David Nagle
was examined in the Federal Court
to-day and related the details of the
tragedy in the Lathrop dining room
last month. He said that when
Judge Terry approached Justice
Field he had no idea he was going to
make an attack, otherwise he could
have interfered. I cry slapped the
justice in the face with his right
hand and repeated the blow with his
left hand, striking the justice a
second time on the head. Nagle
continued:
81 was on my feet in an instant,
and throwing out my right hand to
keep Terry off, l shouted, stop
that. am United States officer.
Then Terry directed his attention to
me. He had his right arm in posi-
ton as if about to deliver another
blow, and as soon as he turned his
glance upon me he looked like an
Infatuated beast His clenched fist
Immediately sought his bosom. Be-
lieving my life was in danger l immG
diately drew my pistol with my left
hand, and catching it with my right
fired two shots in quick succession

could moi. take it away from me
After the shooting was over and
had got Justice Field on the trair
again l told the conductor to lool
out for Mrs. Terry, as I did not like
to injure a woman, but would surely
protect myself.

1t seems to be pretty wGll anthem
ticated that two men last week made
a trip over Niagra Falls and came
out alive.
Charles D. Graham first went over
in barrel of his own construction.
He was taken out below the falls in
an insensible condition.
A few days afterwards, Steve
Brodie, the celebrated bridge jump er
went over the centre OF the Horse
Shoe Falls in rubber suit. His
body was first padded with cotton
and then the suit was Inflated 80
inches around the waist and IS inches
around the chest, and also about the
head. Brodie was shot outside the
volume of falling water and buried
from view, as Graham In his barre
was, for about two minutes. In q
short time the current caught hin
and he was taken out below, insen
sible and bleeding from the ears
nose and mouth. He came tt
shortly and was found not to b.
seriously injured.

A Clever Parody,

stood on the bridge at midnight, as
drunk as son-of-a-gun. Two moons
rose over the city where there ought to
have been but one 1 could see their
bright reflections in the water under
me, and I experienced a feeling of
wonder and curiosity. If only one had
been there, would not be in doubt,
but what two moons were doing,
could not we'll make out. The tide was
slowly ebbing, l could hear the waters
roll, as stood in the wagering shadows,
to HIDE from the night patrol. How
often, oh, how often. in the days of
Aud Lang Syne, have tried to cross
at midnight, and got left every time.
But tonight was hot and restless, my
mind was full of care, and the walk
that was before me, was more than 1
could bear. I had no latch-key with
me, and locked would be the door, and
l would have to sit in the doorway, in
agony and fear, till a voice from the
window shouts, did the lodge hold
late, my dear?' So tonight I stood
there dreaming, and watched the rest
less tide, till a cop came along in a
wagon, and invited nae to ride.-Non-
descript
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1889-05-30
Plainly Stated.

AS long as the people of this country
prefer protective robbery they will keep
the republican party in power, because
that party upholds protection as the
cornerstone of it's creed. The demo-
cratic party is committed to the Oppo-
site policy of tariff which shall pro-
duce revenues sufficient for the needs
of the government without affording
subsidies to mOnopolies. A majority
of 100000 of the people of the United
States and more than million of
the white people approved the demo-
cratic policy in the last presidential
election. The revolt of the farmers
against the binding-twine trust will
undoubtedly result in a democratic
tidal wave in the western and north
western states two years hence, to be
followed in 1892 by the restoration of
the tariff-reform democracy to power
in the national government. But
whether our victory is to come so soon
or is to be still further postponed, the
democratic party will continue to fight
for tariff for revenue only until the
people are ready for it. A democratic
prOtectionist is a republican, in fact,
just as tariff-reform republican is a
democrat in fact, and both will be
forced to take their rightful places by
the new party alignments which the is
sue so clearly joined must compel

Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1889-05-30

VARIOUS times have the newspapers
of Great Bend spoken about the habit
of a number of rough and unmanly
boys land some of them old boys, tool
who take their seats in the rear of an
audience and by various means succeed
in keeping up an unseemly uproar to
the annoyance of all respectable people
and the disgrace of the city. Such dis
turbance was carried on at the opera
house last Friday evening to such an
extent that even those on the forward
seats could not at times hear the per
sons on the stage. This lack Of courtesy
on the part of q Great Bend audience has
doubtless kept many good company
from making a second visit to our city,
and the sooner the management of our
opora house take measures to suppress
this hO0dlum element that much
quicker will we have the class of shows
visiting here elevated and improved.
