A Farmer Boy,

His life has been glorified and ideal.

Writers who have done this have
not told the truth.
The farmers boy would not recog.

him by poets.
He is honest, he is innocent, he Is
verdant, but he is no fool.
The nearest he approaches to being

he leaves the country and comes to
the city in order to prosper more rap.

DESPERADO'S DEATH.
Jim Mccoy; the Terror of Southwestern Texas
Hanged at San Antonio.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Aug. 23.-Jim Nc
Coy, noted desperate, was hanged here
to-day. The crime for which he suffered
was the killing of Sheriff Mckinney.
Jim Mccoy has been one of the most
desperate desperadoes of southwestern
Texas during the last fifteen years; nobody
but himself knows how many men he has
murdered. He has successfully combatted
| five murder trials. Four years ago he lost
his right leg from a wound received in a
| saloon fight in Cotulla. He was one of the
most daring and heartless members of the
| Alta pen gang, combine of the worst out
| laws which ever infested that part of
Texas. They terrorized that section for
| years until Captain Charley Mckinney
came along and inaugerated a war of ex-
| termination against them. Mckinney, as
sheriff OF Lasalle county, thinned their
ranks until jim Mccoy and Bud Crenshaw
were about the only members left. Fearing
Mckinney they decOyed Simon Day after
Christmas to Twohig station d few miles
| from COlulla, the county seat, where they
had plotted to murder him, saying a rape
had been committed there and the sheriffs
presence was needed. Mckinney, accom-
panied by a deputy named Edwards,
boarded the train at Coballa and OF their
arrival at Twohig were met by Crenshaw
and Mccoy, who proffered to them the use
of their horses to ride to the house where
the alleged crime had been committed. !
Mckinney mounted the horse and while in
quiring directions Crenshaw pushed the
muzzle of a Winchester under his chin and
fired, the ball penetrating his head. The
sheriff fell to the GROUND dead. Mean
while, Mccoy, who was standing close to
Edwards, fired at him, wounding the deputy
in the shoulder. Edwards horse, how
ever, was frightened by the shooting and
dashed off, otherwise its rider would have
undoubtedly have shared the fate of his
superior. Crenshaw and Mccoy made
their escape, the former being killed by the
state rangers shortly afterwards while re-
sisting arrest.
Mccoy beat around in the brush for a
few weeks, and becoming sick and
starved, gave himself up at Cobulla. On
a change of venue the case was brought to
this county, where, after stubborn legal
fight for two days, the verdict was re
turned AGAINST him

Governor Cooner,s Letter.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-A telegram to-
day was received at the executive mansion
from Governor Cooper, of Colorado, and
Immediately referred to the Indian bureau.
In it the governor says:
81 am in receipt of a communication by
mai signed by forty seven citizens of Routt
county, Colorado, adjoining the Uintah
reservation. THE citizens of Routt county
beg leave to represent that large bodies of
Indians from the White river reservation
have come into North county to hunt. They
slaughter the game and eat our cattle and
steal our horses. They have permits from
the agents for thirty days. They, together
with their innumerable ponies and horses,
have become a nuisance which we cannot
longer endure. We respectfully request
your honor to try and prevent their coming
into Routt county again
81 have to advise that our people in that
region have suffered so much in life and
property foom these predatory Indians that
they are in no temper to put up with their
presence again, and nothing but prompt
and effective action on the part of the fed
eral government will prevent trouble. If
they are there by fault of the federal gov
eminent through the action of the agent
giving them permits, it is, in view of the
danger, a most indefensible crime and
should be promptly rebuked. C
''Your exceAency will have better means
of gaining official information than 1 con-
corning their absence from the reservation,
and l earnestly urge you to take steps to
recall them before trouble ensueS."
Upon the recommendation of the Indian
bureau, the telegram has been referred to
the war department for such action as may
be deemed proper

ST LOUIS, Aug. 23.-A special to the
Repulblic from Butte, Montana, says that
Harry Roberts was hanged to-day for the
murder of J. w Crawford The drop feel
at l ~ p. m. Roberts neck was broken.
A strong pressure was brought bear by
Grand Army men and a number of citizens
to have his sentence committed to life i'm
prisonment, and it was not until s As this
morning that the condemned man aban-
doned all hope of pardon. When the sheriff
read the message from the governor re
f1sing to interfere with the laws decree,
42oberts did not weaken to the last and
died as he had lived, cool and determined
man. The killing of Crawford by Roberts
was unprOvoked.
On May IA last Crawford was teamster
under Roberts and they had quarrel and
Roberts shot him while drinking. A some
what dramatic incident is connected with
she burial of Crawford. He was
a goodnatured man and had many
friends. His relations all lived
at Butler, Mo, and kilograms were
sent asking them what disposition should
be made of his remains, No answer was
received for two days and the funeral pro
ceSsion with Crawford's remains was en-
roFhte to the cemetery when the coroner
CAME rushing from the street with tele
grams from his relatives They stated that
they would like to have the remains
but were too poor to pay the expenses of
embalming and paying the other expenses.
A collection was taken on the spot and the
body brought back to town and shipped. 1t
was then found that $500 too much had been
subscribed. This amount was accordingly
sent to his relatives.

The '.Timesr on Behring Sea-.

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-The Times says:
There is curious want of seriousness
about the Behring sea seizures. 1t appears
to be intended to brighten away Victorian
sealers by sham formalities of capture and
not to exact the usual penalties. America
appears to think this course will appease
the Alaska company, please the Irish
electors and yet not provoke British
reprisals. ~But she has no right TO play the
game of bounce with weapons illegal
capture and search. Unless England takes
some active step America will be perfectly
content with an Interchange of views till
doomsday. The Americans will not find
us unreasonable on the score of preserving
the seals from destruction, but if they per-
sist in refusing to discuss any settlement,
our only course is to take vigorous steps to
insure that our rights are respected"

J.R. WILKINS SUICIDES
In Beaver, and Apparently With.

ROWING BANDS OF UTE INDIANS.
The People of Western Colorado Annoyed by
Then-Saved from Lynching
ical Situation in London.

BEAVER, U. t., Aug 23.-[Special tele-
gram to THE HERALDl.- About o'clock
this afternoon j. r. Wilkins, who has for
many years been clerk of the Second judi
cial district court here at Beaver, com
mitted suicide by shooting himself. The
facts of the case as reported by the fore
man of the coroner's jury are as follows:
j. r. Wilkins, clerk of the Second Judi
cial district court, committed suicide by
shooting himself. He had been to the post
Office and had seen the new clerk who
will succeed Mr.. Wilkins, come in on
the stage. He returned to his home
go up town to get an introduction to the
new clerk. Before leaving the room he
went to the desk and took his pistol from
it. His wife saw him go but did not sus-
pect anything wrong and did not notice
what he had taken. Just as he stepped
out of the door Miss May Smith, a young
lady who has for sometime been doing his
writing for him and who was in the house
at the time, asked him what he was going
to name his baby. He made some off
handed reply and stepped out. When he
got to the corner of the house he took an
upright position, placed the pistol to his
head and shot. The ball went through his
head blowing out his brains, or portion
of them, and killing him instantly The
body will probably be taken to Texas for
burial
The following is the coroner's iury's
verdict:

GOSSIP AT SARATOGA.
The Franks of Pretty Girl-The Bathrooms
Gaiety Darkened.

The Franks of Pretty Girl-The Bathrooms
Gaiety Darkened.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch
SARATOGA, Aug. 23.-There has been nc
such expensive hiliarity this year as when
George Law, last season, decked gamblers
and pugilists with diamonds; still, a
lovely woman furnishes some piquant
items. One lovelysscreature whose pretty
gowns and flashing jewels furnished scores
of paragraphs for the press of the country,
especially through the west has shocked
people who populate the piazzas by accept
ing the unremitting attention of young
gentleman about twice her height and half
her age. 1t was even rumored at the race
track one morning that the hotel manage
ment had risen Indignantly and requested
her to leave the hotel and take her famous
gowns along with her. But she came down
to the concert on the rear piazza that same
evening radiant as ever and respondent in
a new toilet and husband with her. Com
mentatorS concluded there was really
nothing in the affair.
The other evening the indignant mother
created a scene between the office and the
elevator, berating her daughters friends
as .schemer5 and plOtters because her
daughter frequented shadowy piazzas at
late hour. In the midst of it all the daugh-
ter returned. Next morning the young
woman rose very early and by the time
mother was ready for breakfast the
daughter was on looard the outgoing train
miles away. 1t was the natural girlish
fashion of avenging herself for the humil-
ion that had been put upon her.
The only occurrence which came near
being dramatic and sensational was the ap-
pearance the other evening in the Grand
Union hotel ballroom of the daughter of
x-Lieutenant- Governor Pinchback, of
Louisiana, who is colored to noticeable
degree and she was accompanied by young
man plainly hailing in more or less direct
fashion from Africa. The ballroom was so
crowded that people did not get fair
chance to inspect each other. Speedily
they spotted the dusky strangers and the
chorus of whispered comment and half
laughter which followed caused,
Of course, Miss Pinchback's retirement;
but Saratoga has been talking about little
else for several days. Pinchback is here,
and they say he has an income of So, 900
year from the Louisiana State lottery He
secured stock in it, it is alleged, while he

THE GREAT AXTELL.
He Trots Mile in 2:14-Races and Sports in
Various Places.

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-There was a great
days sport at Washington park to day.
Axtell, the phenomenal three year old,
trotted to beat his own record, and did so,
making the mile in 2:l4, and another three
year. old bay stallion, Abortion, in the third
heat of the bruising race, made the circuit
of the track in 2:1S14.
Axtells mile clips three-quarters of a
second from his former record of 1:1433i,
the fact that even that
was better than the best previous per-
Torrance by any three or four-year- old. 1t
is also within three-quarter5 of second
of Patrons 2:13L, which stands as the
best record for stallion of any age. The
circumstances under which this record was
made are likely to give rise to endless dis
cussion as to whether it was record in
race or against time. AXtell and Earl
MacGregor were on the card as starters in
the stallion stake, and card was also an
nounced that AXtell would go to beat his
own record. The first heat was trotted I'M
der the usual conditions of a race, and
served merely as a warmer, being in 2:19.
In the next heat, that in which the record
was made, distance was waived and AXtell
had running horse toaccompany and en-
courage him from the upper turn to the
finish, Earl McGregOr being far behind,
cutting no figure. 1t should be said the
heat was trotted fairly and without a skip
within about seventy feet of the wire
when, owing to bad judgment in the hand
ling of the runner, the little stallion was
started into run and galloped under the
wire. Whether or not he gained by the
break is an open question.
A summary of the races is as follows
Unfinished from yesterday, 2:2l class

Sally Corsack third. The others were out.
