SLAPPED BY A MAYOR.
The Indignity That Was Suf-
fered by a Congressman,
ALL OVER THE PAN-AMERICANS.
Friends Interfered and Prevented
a Resort to the Pistol---
Bad Blood.

KANSAS City, Oct. %, Mayor Daven-
port slapped Congressman Tarsney in
face, and narrowly escaped being shot.
1t was all on account of the entertain
mcnt of the All-American tourists. The
mayor had vetoed, on the ground of its
being unconstitutional, the ordinance
passed by the city council appropriating
5000 for the entertainment. The coun.
Gil passed it over his head and then the
mayor ordered the city treasurer not to
recognize drafts upon the treasury for
that purpose.
At meeting of tho committee at the
Commercial club this afternoon, Con-
gresham Tarsney referred to the
mayors action in uncomplimentary
terms. Mayor Davenport replied
that, if he could help 1t,
not cent of the city's
money should be used illegally, but he
would contribute from his own pocket
for the entertainment
Tarsney replied, IL do not care to re-
sort to pothouse measures
Davenport asked the congressman to
repeat his measure.
Tarsney complied, but the words were
no sooner out of his mouth than the
mayor slapped him full in the face.
Tarsney reached in his hip pocket for u
revolver but friends prevented him
using the weapon.

A CHALLENGE FROM THE EAST,

"Mr. John A. Tomlinson of Union dis

bushels of wheat from thirty-nine acres
an average of eighteen and three
fourths bushels to the acre. Four acres
of this whcat yielded 100 bushels, aver.

Just for a flyer we will
quote one yield, that of Mr.. James Kin.
caid He predicted that his yield this
year would be about or nearly seventy
bushels of wheat to the acre. To sus.

wheat, which was just sixty-seven
bushels to the acre or 26S bushels
from the four acres. We have
no desire to belittle the yield of our
sister states, but when they want to

We would refer to hundreds of others,
but will only cite one other instance,
Mr.. George Neill, who lives about three
miles south of Palouse City. He has
ranch of $40 acres, and you can see every
foot of it from his door. 1t is of lust
enough undulsting nature to make it
what II is--one of the very best farm in
the world. This has been a very poor
year in the Palouss country, one of the
dryest seasons known, and yet his wheat

COLUMBIA, s. c., Oct. 22.-Some curious
facts in connection with the recent

mob then informed him that he would
be allowed time to prepare for death.
About this tune a drummer who was

to be allowed TO pray with tho con-
demued man. His request was granted
and he knelt down by the side of Ber
rier and prayed fervently that God
would save his soul. During the prayer
many hearty ''amens,' and such re-
sponses as Lord grant it, ETC., went up
from the mob. For more than three
hours praying and religious services
were conducted. A few minutes before

the horse was led from under him and
the body was left dangling in the air.

Russell, who Is somewhat widely
known in Eastern Washington, especially
in Spokane Falls, was a stranger In
Pennington, and was OH his way
to Cmur d'Alene with the racehorse
Narrow Gauge, which ran on the track
mere two ycars.ago. In company with
young man named Cotton, who Is a
cripple having lost both hands, ne was
in Iemly's saloon. The two had been
drinking, and Cotton fell to the floor
whereupon some of the bystanders began
to laugh.
This greatly enraged Russell, who
cursed the crowd for laughing at a Grip.
pie. He pulled. out his revolver and
threatened to shoot an attache of the
saloon named Myers but the bartender
intteriered and Myers begged oil,
The bartender then went behind tho
bar, when Russell turned his attention
toward young Canty, who was quietly
sitting in chair behind the stove,
"D-n you! You were one of the fel.
lows who were laughing at that cripple!'
he exclaimed land propose to kill
you for it.
Before anybody could interfere Russell
iired, the ball striking Canty under the
lett eye, passing downward and coming
out at the neck below the Jaw.
The wounded man sprang to his feet
and ran across the room, frightful
stream of blood gushing from the terrible
wound. He refused to lie down. and
was placed in chair and a physician
was summoned. The shooting was at
such close range that Canty's face was
severely powder burned.
Russell was quick to realize the
character of his crime, and going over ia
the wounded man asked him to shake
hands before he died. He was pushed
aside by Canty's friends, and started to
run from the room, but was caught and
disarmed. He was then placed in the
calaboose, and later was put in the cell
and ironed.
Canty fingered until o'clock Satur.
day afternoon and died. He was con.
sscious to the last and suffered little pain.
He was a young man, but 21 years o,
age, and bore a reputation for sobriety
and excellent behavior. His mother
and two sisters reside in Pennington.
Russell, on the other hand, bears bad
reputation. He is about 26 years of age.
He claims that the shooting was acci.
dental, and cried all day Saturday, la
menting that he and not Canty was the
victim. However, he was somewhat
alarmed over vague threats of lynching
which followed the shooting.

from ColfaN and transferred the mur-
derer to the county Jail, where he is now

ore can be dumped in the cars, thus saw

Both of these properties occupy about

Both have reached a stage of develop
