Another shnntfnr at Clay.

Clay station, on the Somerville
branch of the Santa Fe road, was
the scene of another shooting affray
on Sunday afternoon. Turner Wal
ton, colored, shot another negro
named Andy, five times, inficting
wounds that were considered fatal,
although at the time the BANNERS
informant left the place late Sunday
evening he was still alive. The
shooting was a cold-blooded murder
on very slight provocation. Walton
had given Andy a S5-bill to change,
being under the impression that it
was a S2-bill. When Andy got the
change he did not correct the mis-
take, but handed back the 50 in
change. When Walton discovered
the error he had made he went to
Andy and told him he owed him So
and demanded payment. The ne
gro refused to pay it, saying Il cor
reefs no mistakes" With this Wal
ton bel gan firing into him with re-
volver, stopping long enough after
each shot to inquire, ''Now will you
give it up?" The negro stood IN
front of the pistol and was shot
four times before he made any reply
or made a movement to go down
into his pockets after the money.
Walton shot at him six times, every
ball but one taking effect.

Colorado In Luck.

DENVER, Sept. PA Washington dis
patch says Just before the close OF the
house session last night Mr.. Townsend
called up and succeeded in passing the
bill for the opening OF the Fort Lyon and
Old Fort Lyon military reservations to
homestead settlement, He also succeeded
in having the bill amended by adding a
bill for the opening of old Fort Lewis or
Pagosa Springs military reservation to
homestead settlement, and thus by one
stroke made big stride toward opening
these extensive abandoned military reser-
vations in Colorado to settlement under
the homestead laws.
The bills for opening these reserva-
tions have passed the senate, but as
separate bills; Mr.. Townsend consoldates
them, adding the Pagosa Springs bill as
an amendment to the other hence it will
be necessary for the senate to accept
the amendment, but as there was nc
opposition to either bill in the senate II
is believed there will be little difficulty in
having the change made in that body.
The Fort Lyon reservations are on the
Arkansas river below Pueblo, and the
Fort Lewis reservation is near PagOsa
Springs. They comprise about $4,000
acres of excellent land which will be
thrown open to settlement when the bill
becomes a law.
