The last execution in tho State was
In Elko county-the Pottses-and tho
next one is likely to be there. There
sppears to be no extenuating circum.
stances connected with the murder Of
the Frenchman near Wells, it having
been absolutely cold-blooded and for
the purpose Of robbery. IL Morris,
who is charged with the crime, is con-
victed, as it seems almost certain he
will bo, he will number the fourth
murderer that has paid the highest
penalty of tho law in Elko county,
Virginia Chronicle.
Elko county has slowed away an
admirable soaffold which was used
with perfect success on the Goth day
of last June, and it will be but short
job to put it in proper shape to be
used again, should occasion require it.
AS a general thing, however, cold
blooded murderers in Elko county are
either sentenced to the penitentiary
or pronounced not guilty.
The Chronicle is mistaken in one
thing, however, the next necktie
party in the State will probably be
the execution of Parish in White
Pine county on the 18th instant.

C ounty Official Paper
=. What's the Matter Now.

A new journal is being started in
Austin. It is to be Democratic and
anti-monopoly. It will last about
three months. Democrats will not
support a party organ. They are no
good in that respect1C Chloride Belt.
When it comes to refusing to pay for
campaign advertising it looks a little
that way.-tElko INDEPENDENT.
What's the matter now, Bro. Grover?
Does the State Central Committee
owe you anything for "csmpaign ad-
rertising"? The members from this
county had supposed that everything
was squared up by the Executive
Committee, which collected all of the
assessments and attended to all of the
financial business of Il Q campaign.
Speak right out in meeting and state
your grievance, il you have any
Virginia Chronicle.
The INDEPENDENT has a grievance
which it proposes to make public for
the benefit of all concerned, unless
the amount due from the Democratic
State Central Committee ID paid soon.
The INDEPENDENT labored zealously
for the success of the Democratic
ticket, (and the result in this county
shows that it's work was not in vain),
but for that work it does not ask nor
expect pay; but it does claim pay for
regular advertising done by order of
the State Central Committee.

Gushing, Postmaster General Wanna

telegram from Philadelphis, denying

OTHER STATEMENTS.
The statements of others differ from
the above, and this is not surprising
as no two persons will see rencounter
alike, and what the reporter is able to
CLEAN is about as follows:
"Col. Price sat down in the car
behind the judge and commenced
grumhling as if be had some grievance.
Words passed between the two that 10
one could give any ineligible account
of, but finally Price arose and grappled
with the judge and crushed him
between the car seats, he being a very
powerful man, and while in this
position, Judge Higgins shot, evidently
as his only recourse in defending
himself"
Judge Higgins came to Sedalia in
charge of an officer this morning. By
advice of his attorneys, he declined TO
make any statement for the press
when Intercepted by BAzoo
reporter.
On arrival at Houstonia the
wounded man was taken to the resi-.
dence of Mr. Scruggs at Houstonia
where be remained until brought to
Sedalia last night.
BRoUHT TO sKDALIA.
As soon as the news was received
in Sedalia several parties including
the doctors prepared to drive to
Houstonia but Superintendent 81. G.
Clark was found and gave them
special train consisting of a coach and
an engine, which left for Houstonia
at 9:15 o'clock, bearing a party con-
sisting of. Drs. A. V. Small, led
Evans, Yancy and Ferguson, DIR. W.
II. Wood, A. G. Baldwin, r. T. Gen.
try, Thos. Kehoe and Deputy Sheriff
Barnett. The special arrived
at Houstonia at 1915.
The physicians Immediately made
an examination of the wound and de-
cided that the only hopes of saving
the wounded mans life was to per-
form an operation, and if possible
sew up the intestines, if they had heen
perforated by the bullet. Arrange
ments were made at once to bring
him to Sedalia. and the special started
back about 1880 arriving here
about 1890 this morning. The train
was met at the depot here by a mum.
Der of Elks, of which lodge Col.
Price is a member, who carried him
on a cot to Sichers ho:el, where
quarters had been prepared for him.
MEETS HIS WIFE.
Col. Price was met at
the hotel by his wife,
and Mr.. and Mrs. A. G.
Bear, of Jefferson City, parents of
Mrs. Price, who came from Jefferson
City by a special train, which arrived
here about 1880 last night. Chas.
E. Yeater was also at the hotel last
night, and made out a will for Col.
Price which was attested to by Joe
Longan, of Houstonia, and Harvey
Seibert of this city.
Prosecuting Attorney Longan was
sent for early this morning, and after
a consultation with friends of the
imam, at the hotel, decided
not to take his ante norton statement
ON account of the shock he might re-
ceive from telling him that he was 60

quired to be made by law in such
