Before Funk had more than made known
his business it was asserted by the Branson
faction that Jim Miles drew his pistol, and,
stepping to the rear Of the detective, shot
him in the back AS Funk reeled and turned,
Jim fired again, the ball entering the right
side, both shots being fatal. By this time
Branson had advanced within five or six
steps of the Mileses, and Bill opened fire on
the sheriff, his first shot striking the cheek
under the left eye, penetrating the brain and
lodging against the skull, little forward OF
the right ear. The next shot from Bill Miles
pistol struck Branson in the leg below the
knee.

deliberate murder. The militia party hold
that there was a plot formed to kill the Miles
boys, and that the latter acted in self de-

"Mrs. Browning's death is rather a reflex
to me, must say. No more Aurora Leighs,
thank Godl A woman of real genius,
know, but what is the upshot of it ala She
and her sex had better mind the kitchen
and their children, and perhaps the poor.
Except in such things as little novels, they
only devote themselves to what men do much
better, leaving that which men do worse
or not at all"
When Browning read this matter he de-
cided that the memory of Elizabeth Bar
rett Browning ought to be indicated
at once, especially as there was a chance
for a good stroke of advertising in the
vindication. Some sensible men would
have passed the matter by in silent contempt,
but not Browning. So he produced the fol-
lowing, and the editor of The Athen9um
unkindly accorded the stuff space in his
journal:

the aforesaid book about Mr.. Fitzgerald and
his private and other letters.

The Verses with Which He Brought Him
self Before the Public Again.
Robert Browning has a horror of being for
gotten by the dear public-the dear public,
two thirds of whose individual members
never read his verses, or reading, cry out,
"Ratsl" while the other third read, are en-
tranced and feel grieved and insulted because
all do not appreciate as they do the versifca-
ton of their beloved prophet.
OF late the dear public has heard little Of
Browning, but now all those members of it
that call themselves literary, besides many
people who are simply sensible business and
working men and women, are talking of him.

We received a copy of an eastern pa

task OF proving to western farmers,
that such a thing as a Irvine combine
exists only in imagination, as there
are about nine of its twenty-four
columns filed with Irvine talk, de-
Tending the high price asked for
binder Irvine. Now, we know moth
ing about the question as to whether
such a trust exists, but we do know
this, that what the farmer sells is
priced for him by those who buy, that
what he buys is priced for him by
! those who sell, and that this propO-
sitiOn contains a lesson, which IS this:
We had best refrain from buying
what we do not hare to use, and as
we can bind our grain by hand, let
them keep their Irvine. Another
lesson is this: Let American farmers

Fightine for Their Homee.

FoRT DODGE, IA, April 7.-Sheriff
Adams and single deputy, yester-
day affected the arrest of seventeen
river land settlers charged with con
spiracy. The prisoners peaceably &C
cOmpanied the county officers whom
they regard as friends. They were
arraigned In a Justices court In the
afternoon, and waving examination
were each placed under $500 bonds
for appearance at the May term of
court. Bail was secured. The set
tiers announce their intentions to Sc
cure pOstponement of trial, and to
continue this policy until congress
takes definite action. They hope to
obtain certain relief from the next
session of congress, and thus evade
fine and Imprisonment. United States
marshals who have been forced to
suspend operations because of con
tinual harrassment will not resume
evlctlOns until they can do so with
largely increased force. The land
owners announce that evictiOns will
be made If it takes the state militia,
and as the settlers state their deter
minatiOn to die rather than be driven
from their homes some stormy times
are anticipated Marshal HOlbrOOk,
who had charge of evictions last fall,
IS organizing posse to resume evic-
lions on the Smell lands next week,
simultaneously with the Litchfeld
eyictlOns. -ASSOcjUted Press.
The history of this trouble in Iowa,
briefly stated, is as follows: In an
early day large quantity Of land in
Iowa was granted to the ''Des Moines
River Improvement Company in
consideration that said company
would make said river navigabIe up
to certain point. The company
transferred the land to pets of the syn
dictate and never carried out their
agreement, doing nothing toward i'm
proving the river. It was clear
steal. The government allowed set
tiers to enter the land, and it was all
settled up. The rogues who claim
that they bought the land from the
Improvement Company, claim that
they are innocent purchasers and
have vested rights, and they brought
suit for the tracts and won the case.
1t is a fraud from beginning to end,
and this attempted eviction is a great
outrage. It is another instance of
the triumph Of rascality over honesty
through the fundamentally of IN
just laws and one-sided courts. The
parties who clam to own the lands
are foreigners. The unfairness OF
the land ownership system through
which one man or an association OF
men, can corner" vast tracts,of Gods
soil which was created equally fol
all, to the injury of many, is becom,
ing more and more apparent.
