PARIS, TEX, May 7.-On last Christmas eve

then unknown, but subsequently ascertained
to be named G. R. Holt from the Indian Terri
tory. Conner and some companions had
slight difficulty with Holt the street when
Holt broke away from them, saying something
about getting his Winchester, and started to a
wagon yard where he was staying. The others
followed, and when they reached the entrance
to the wagon yard shot was fred from inside
which killed Connor, Conner was
member of one of our best fami-
and manhood. To-day in the district court was
concluded the last scene in the tragedy when the
jury presented verdict generating Holt Of all
guilt in the matter, and he was discharged with
out delay.
In the Federal court John Northup was ac-
quilted of stealing six horses from Comanche
Indian, and jury is now out considering an
other case for stealing fourteen head, the prop
erty Of Chewopnard, and tomorrow he will be
tried for another lot belonging to Attarkawie, of

NEW YORK, May THE extraor-
binary gain of over $500, 900 in Atchi-
son s net earnings for March, as COM
pared with March 1889, has called atten-
ton to reports of large reductions In the
salaries of officers and employees during
the present year. The gross earnings in
creased $3.50 1857, while operating ex-
peuses increased only Sl52, OLE, although
freight rates are pratacally the same as q
year ago. The cuts i'll salaries, however,
which have undoubtedly been made
would by no means account for this dis
parity. This extraordinary saving has
been in repairing, re-tracking and con-
structlon, which in Atchison accounts
are charged up TO the operating expenses.
This saving of one year must be followed
by large future expenditure.
