aiting a New Trial.

The Sheriff of Morris county has sent
up from Council Grove the murderer,
Guy Wellington, who was once before
confined in DickinsOn's Jail, that he
may be cared for by Sheriff Naill until
the next term of the Morris county
court, as he has been allowed a new
trial.
Speaking of the case, the Council
Grove Republican says: 1.-The supreme
court has reversed the opinion of the
lower court in the case of the State VS..
Guy Wellington, who was convicted at
the April term of the district court for
killing his step father about year ago,
the details of which are no doubt fresh
in the minds of nearly everyone in this
community. Wellington was sentenced
to twenty years in the penitentiary and
has almost served a year of his sen
tence. He will no doubt be released
on proper bail and the county attorney
informs us that he is ready to proceed
with a new trial. While we congratu-
late the attorneys who have gained
what might be termed brilliant legal
victory, We cannot help but sympathize
with the Taxpayers of Morris county,
who are compelled to stand the expense
of another costly trial.

Stories Of Abilene.

In the early history of Abilene there
were many tragic and interesting hap
penings which are remembered by only
few of the old-timers. Among these
none was more sensational than the
killing of Tom Smith, one of the best
marshals Abilene ever had. Two
Scotchmen living near Chapman creek
had been annoyed by a neighbours cat
tie trespassing on their land and in the
spring of 1871 they shot and killed the
neighbor. By some idiosyncrasy of
frontier law an Enterprise justice &C
quilted them. The county attorney
took it up and ordered them arrested.
The deputy sheriff was afraid to do the
work and Tom Smith volunteered to
accomplish it. Filling his hide full of
bad whiskey and taking bottle of the
stuff in his pocket he set out on his
trip accompanied by the sheriff. Reach
ing the ScOtchmen's dug-out he
brusquely entered and ordered the man
present to throw up his hands. 1t was
not done and Smith attempted to hand
cuff him by force. Both were power
full men aud the tussle was terrific.
While it was going on the other muir
derer came back and, having an axe in
his hand, knocked Smith out and then
chopped his head off. Frightened at
the deed the men skipped and the
other officer, scared nearly out of his
wits, flew to Abilene with the news.
Great and intense was the excitement
when the rude lumber wagon bearing
Smiths headless body came into town.
The Scotchmen were caught near Clay
Center, narrowly escaped lynching,
were tried and sent to the ''pen" for a
long term each.

How Farmers are Taxed

It. is not uncommon to hear our farm
ers complain of the taxes they have to
pay. Sometimes they are too high and
the payment of them could be largely
lessened by increasing the productive
power of an acre of ground. For in
stance: A farmer who sows poor seed,
raises scrub stock, or buys antiquated
or imperfect implements, must certain
ly pay prOportionately high taxes. Not
to mention the Improvement he might
make by getting the best seed and live
stock, he could buy Deering Binder or
Mower, and save money in the harvest
ing of his grain and grass crops. 26-1

ANOTHER INJUSTICE.
The Railroads Raise the Gulf Rates
to Counterfeit the Eastward
Reduction,

There seems to be an African in the
wood-pile-or rather, the compile
which has been annoying the railroad
managers as well as the farmers of
Kansas and the famous emergency
rate" which is to raise the price of corn
i cents will be offset by the railroad
companies with higher rate to Texas
and the gulf ut is all very we'll to
talk about the emergency rate and to
give the railroads credit for aiding the
farmers when they had to-" said a
prominent grain buyer of Abilene to
the REFLECTOR this morning, "but
the people seem to be ignorant of the
fact that the roads have been looking
out for themselves while fixing their
new schedule. They have so arranged
it that from Kansas to all Texas COM
mon points, including the gulf ports
and nearly all the chief cities of Texas,
the rate has been raised from IS cents
to 81 cents on the hundred pounds on
flour and raised IS cents on wheat.
These new rates are to take effect on
the 22nd inst. and will make more diff
ference to the Kansas farmer than the
slight rise in corn prices will counter
act.
"Kansas has greater southern trade
than many imagine and rise in the
rates in that direction cuts off a con-
siderable portion of our ability for pur-
chasing farm produce. In spite of
Texas size and her ability to produce
wheat and corn, Kansas and the other
more northern states are called upon to
furnish large portion of her require
ments for flour. The previous rate has
enabled us to ship southwark a large
percentage of our output but now it
will necessitate our purchasing wheat
lower"
Kansas hopes much from her south
ern trade and looks for still more when
the deep-water harbOr is consummated.
The railway companies should make
allowance for this and not endeavor to
overwhelm the farmers on account of
their greed for every possible dollar the
producers of Kansas may be able to &C
cumulate. The new Texas rates go
into effect next Saturday, and if they
affect the wheat prices as is anticipated
hearty kick may be looked for.

FRIDAY.
The DOnnelly case from Chapman
against the Union Pacific railway for
$4,000 damages for the accidental
killing of Mr.. Shannon, an old gentle
man, about year ago was concluded
this morning. The plaintiff presented
his testimony which went to show that
the old man saw the freight train that
killed him when it was coming, tried
to cross the track ahead of it when his
judgment should have told him that it
was dangerous proceeding and was
50 overtaken and killed. The defend
ants entered a demurrer to the evil
dence claiming that no case bad been
made and 1t was sustained by the court.
While the train may have violated an
ordinance by running at higher rate
of speed than the ordinance allows
there seemed little doubt from the EVIL
dence submitted that Shannon took
his chances knowingly, and the result
was his OWL fault, not the company's.
