Ono Way to Ride without Paying.

y
The other day. ON n certain railway, q
man got into one of the cars and presently
began talking to IA fellow passenger. Amer
Time he asked the gentleman whether he
heard tho story about how u man travelled
without n ticket. The gentleman said he
had not so the man asked him to lend
him his ticket that he might show him
how IL is done, and began tiddling about
with 1t, but pretended that the story had
soideDly slipped out of his head but that
he would be sure to remember II soon.
After u time the train got near New York,
aud, as the man still could not remember
tho story he returned the gentleman his
ticket after tearing bit oil of III and
started for the door, This struck the
gentleman as being very curious, aud so he
watched the man. When he was reached
by the conductor and aske for his ticket,
he said no had given it mp; but the CON
ductor denied 1t, and, AFTER a deal of alter
cation, tho man pulled some silver ont of
his pocket and was about to pay his fare,
when he suddenly said--producing "A small
piece of ticket--that he could prove that ho
had given up his ticket, because he rcmem-
bered playing with II In the train, and tear
ing off u small piece, and that II the con-
ductor looked he would find IA ticket with
piece torn oil. ON looking the conductor
found "A ticket with piece torn of, and, of
course, accepted the mans statement.

THE CROSS MURDERS.
The First Witness Relates the Story Of ths
Assassination

Assassination
PARIS. Tex, June 12.-The panel Of
the Jury in the Cross murder case was
completed yesterday and the witnesses,
over 200 in number, sworn in and placed
under the rules
Counsel for the defense stated that .
number of newspaper reporters were
present to take the testimony. and as
they were sticking their bills into every
thing something should be done about
them.
Judge Bryant said il was their duty to
stick their bills in when they thought
1t necessary, and all that could be done
was to instruct witnesses not to read the
papers. This he did.
Herbert Tonney was then placed upon
the stand to testify in behalf of the Gov
eminent. He swore that on the even
ing of July "a, 1888, John NJ. Cross, sher-
if Of Stevens County, Kan, received
message from Ed Short, the under sher-
if of the county, who had gone to No
Man's-Land to arrest Sam Robinson,
city marshal of Hugoton, Kan, for
whom he had warrant. The message
was to the effect that Short needed as
sistance. Volunteers were called for
and Rollin Wilcox, Robert Hubbard, Ted
Eaton and witness went with the sheriff.
They went down into the Strip, arriving
there on the morning of July 25. Failing
TO find Short or Robinson in the after
noon, Cross and his posse started back.
About nine o'clock they reached the
camp of the haymakers at Wild Horse
creek, nine miles from the Kansas line,
where they unsaddled their horses and
laid down to rest awhile. In about an
hour witness heard commotion in the
camp and Sheriff Cross said: ''Boys,
they've got US" They saw they were
surrounded, and Sam Robinson ordered
them to walk out and hold up their
hands. He then said: sheriff Cross,
you are my first man." and shot him
down. Turning to Hubbard he
said: 81 want you, too" Robinson
was then called away and told j. B.
Chamberlain to attend to witness.
Chamberlain then disarmed witness and
presented his Winchester to fire. Wit
messed lodged just as Chamberlain fired
and the ball went through his shoulder.
As soon as he realized his perilous stu
alton, he remained quiet until Robinson
and party finished their work and went
away. and after many stops caused by
intense pain and loss of blood reached
VOORHEES,, Kan, the nearest town, at
noon the next day.
