SHOOTING AFFAB.
John Fallen Shoots His Son-in-
Law, Noah ELicheaIs,


Last Monday a warrant was issued
by z. ToWnsley, j. P, for the arrest
Of John Fallen, of Solomon Town
ship, on the charge Of shooting and
attempting to kill Noah bIichea1s, his
sOn-ln-law. Both the pIncIpals In the
unfortunate affair were brought to
town Monday forenoon, Fallen under
arrest and AIicheals to have his
wounds dressed. An investigation OF
the wounds showed that he had been
shot through the right arm by one
shot and that another ball struck him
in the left side making an ugly wound.
at this writing the ball that lodged
in the side has not yet been extracted.
The wounds while painful are not we
believe regarded as necessarily fatal.
1t IS said that four shots in ali were
fired by Fallen with his revolver.
The defendant was taken before
Esquire TOwnsley who continued the
Investigation till Tuesday, April 18th.
StinsOn & Gill, in the absence of Co.
Attorney Shearer, appeared for the
State and G. A Spaulding for the de-
PENDANT. Fallen gave an appearance
/ bond in the sum Of 81, 600.
! There are many rumOrs afiOat as to
the cause Of the trouble, some to the
effect that Fallen is a man of very
eZcitable temper and that there was
little provocatiOn for the shooting,
while others are in substance that
N1icheaIs is very abusive to his wife,
who is Fallen's daughter, and that
this extreme cruelty is the cause OF
| the difficulty. The rumOr Is that Fal-
len will put in the plea Of self-defense.
The two families are neighbOrs as
we'll as relatives. Mr.. Fallen is a
gentleman well advanced in years and
has a good reputation for honesty. 1t
| is an unfortunate affair. The HER
AID advises a suspension of judgment
on the part Of the public as to the
! gravity of the offense till after the
proper legal investigation has been
made.
AS additional particulars of inter
est in regard to this affair, 1t may be
stated that on the Saturday previous
to the shooting, Fallon and wife had
caused the arrest of Michael on the
charge of disturbing the peace, and
grossly abusing Mrs. Fallon, bis
p mObher~in-law. To this charge Mich
ael plead guilty in Justice TownsIey'l
) court and was fined This 1t appears
was the immediate cause of Mon
days trouble, which came near cost
ing Michael's life. Mr.. FallOn is IS
years of age; Michael looks to be
man of % or 80.

The Proposed Water Wo rks.

From time to time we have report
ed the status of the movement which
proposes to establish a system of
water works in Phillipsburg. This
week we have to report that the re-
quisite number of signatures have
been secured to a petition requesting
the Council to call an election to vote
on a proposition to issue bonds to the
amount of 100000, to raise money
to be expended in the proposed i'm
provement. Mr.. FELTON, of Omaha,
assisted by G.. w. Adams of this place
made a thorough test to ascertain
whether sufficient water could be pro
cured. They found that in the first
draw east of town an adequate sup
ply of water is procurable at a depth
Of from twenty-three to twenty-seven
feet. Mr. FELTON,, who has put in
water works in about thirty towns IN
the west, declares that it is the best
water supply of any town he is &C
quainted with within one hundred
miles Of Phillipsburg. He will
guarantee that the nine wells he pro-
poses to put down will supply $50,
600 gallons every twenty-fonr hours.
Mr.. FELTON, says the entire system can
be put in at a cost not to exceed 500,

Isaac V. Lee in a social CONVEX
satiOn a few days ago narrated some
Of his experiences in the west He
was the first known white inhabitant
Of Phillips county, coming here
about twenty years ago. He located
the town of Kirwin and was for sew
eral years in the real estate business
there. Afterwards he came up to
near this place. MIR. Lee has killed
buffalo here, and as far east as Be
lott. He was years ago an expert
with a rife and revolver. When he
was in practice he could set two -four
barrels up on end a few yards apart,
take a six shooting revolver in each
hand, mount his horse, and starting
back from the barrels some distance,
ride between them on a gallop, and
before he passed the barrels, put SIX
leaden balls into each barrel. Mr..
Lee likes this county, and says it is
as healthful as any country he ever
knew.

The County Alliance Of Smith
county held last Saturday at Smith
Center. voted down the proposition
which declared the intention Of the
Alliance to sever it's connection with
the various political parties. Our in
formant says that the resolution was
offered by members Of the Union
Labor party. 1t was opposed by re-
publieans and some democrats on the
ground that such action is in violation
Of the national law Of the Alliance
which provides that the Order shall
do nothing against ones religious or
political convictions.

Two Girls in TrOuble-An Attempt
at Suicide.

at Suicide.
Last Saturday two young girls,
aged about IL and 20, came to Phil
and renamed over Sunday
at the Bissell House. Obseryant and
kind hearted members of Mr.. Bisseli's
family suspected that they ought to
be at home. The girls were question
ed when the fact was elIcited that
they were intended victims of two
Williams of a town in this State, who
had sent them to Phillipsburg where
they would in a day or two be joined
by their decoyers and all proceed to
Denver. When the story of the girls
were learned kilograms were sent to
their relatives one of whom arrived
on Monday When the girls were told
of their danger, one of them on Mon
day, about noon, went to a drug store
and purchased a bottle of laudunum
and proceeding to her room took the
poison. This fact becoming known
restOratives were resOrted to and after
twelve hours of Inconsistencies the
poor girl was out of danger. The
two girls left with the relative allud-
ed to for home on Tuesday morning.
All names of persons with the name
of town from which they came are
suppressed as we do not want to give
publicity to the unfortunate affair ex-
cept so much as may be necessary to
serve as a warning to other girls who
may be tempted to leave home with
out the knowledge Of parents or
friends. As to the act of these black
hearted Williams who meant evil and
only evil toward these silly unsoPhis-
ticated girls, we have not words sui
fciently strong to express our con-
demnatiOn. They ought to serve
/ twenty years in the Penitentiary, and
even that penalty if inflicted would
not atone for the black and infamous
CRIME they contemplated. In our
opinion the viIest and most despicable
criminal is he who in the form Of q
man, is yet an unfeeling, treacherOus
double dealing brute who would first
deceive and then desert and wreck
for life perhaps, an innocent girl
Public sentiment has always been IN
! Just toward the so called fallen
/ female, and too lenient toward heI
male betrayer.

Prairie View, this county, last Thurs
day. The man proved to be Elder
johnson, a swede, and a stranger,
who was selling some sort Of powder
used in Furnishing silver ware. The
Coroner's jury found that his death
was the result of an accident. He

board with a pocket knife, he evident
ly accidentally let the knife slip and
cut an artery in his leg. He seemed

SAYS IT'S NO BLUFF.
The National League Means to Have Club
in Cincinnati.

The National League Means to Have Club
in Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI November l.-There is no doubt
but that President Brush. of the Indianapolis
club, laid the preliminary steps for the estab-
lishment of a Cincinnati League club here the
other day. He not only secured options on two
pieces of real estate, one OF which is the old
Union grounds ut the foot of Bank street. but
he has interested several Cincinnati capitalists
in the venture. President Brush will himself,
so it is said, take large block of stock In the
new club. 'a-.
1t seems that President Byrne's visit to Gin
cinnati just before the worlds series was started
had something to do with the new movement
During that visit he called on several wealthy
gentlemen and laid the foundation for Brush's
advent to Cincinnati baseball circles.
Last night the writer met one of the gentle
men who introduced Brush to the Cincinnati
capitalists. He said: There is q disposition
in certain quarters 10 look upon this League
movement as bluff. That Is where certain
people are mistaken. 1t is no bluff. There
will be League club here next season. There
mag be two clubs in Cincinnati, but il there is
only one it will be League club. There are
-four wealthy gentlemen in this city who viii
take all the stock: They are not going in for a
money-making scheme. All they ask is tc
break even. They are baseball enthusiasts.

A LITTLE MORE KICKING.
Ball Players Said to be Disgruntled Becaus,
Consolidation is Going On.

Consolidation is Going On.
NEW YORK. November l.-If the feeling that
the players entertain at present does not SUBJ
side IN day two there is likely to be trouble
over the consolidation scheme now being
worked by the capitalists. ,t
All the players seen by reporter Yesterday
were unanimous in their denunciation of the
capitalists. They intimate that if they are not
consulted about some of the doings toward
settlement another block may be placed under
the wheels, and consolidation receive another
set back. They say that nothing can be done
without their services, and If the capitalists on
both sides do form coalition, the players may
be found missing, as they are likely to get new
hackers.
John N. Ward, the acknowledged leader of
the Brotherhood, said: "All this talk about
consolidation is myth. 1t is being given out
to deceive the public. There has been con-
solidation in general. The New York clubs
however, have undoubtedly come together.
The only Players League clubs TO weaken are
the New York people. But / don't know as
that will affect the Players League, for Mr.
TalcottS interest may be bought out. If that
is done, l see no reason that the Players
League will not go another season. / tell
you It rs not right for some of our hackers to go
on and hold secret meetings. But am of the
opinion that if the dissatisfied ones have their
losses made good they will sell out.".
There is no question that some of the players
do not intend to submit SO easily as has been
imagined Whether their efforts will be of
any avail cannot be said. At any rate the play
ers hereabouts are strongly of the opinion that
a meeting of the Brotherhood should be called
and some course of action mapped out. They
say that the League repu1iated the committee
Of the Players League because there were play
ers on it; the capitalists had no business to go
the next day anu drum up the National League
capitalists and hold a meeting. 1t is a desire
to find out what all these actions mean.
1t Is well known fact, however, that many
leading PLAYERS are beginning to get into line
and are aiding the consolidation efforts. Con-
solidation is go, and those who do not get into
line soon will be left behind

LOCAL BILLIARD PLAYING.

Some Indications That Very Prosperous
Season is Approaching.
An ardent admirer of billiards spoke as fol-
lows about the game yesterday:
THE season for the beautiful game of bill
lizards is at hand. as is shown by the attendance
in the different billiard halls throughout the
city. Business men of all classes betake them
selves to the various rooms, after their days
labors, to take much-needed recreation and
employ the mind with something less harrass-
ing than mathematics. They meet their friends
in a social way, besides affording for them
selves an amusement from which they can
drive away the cares of the DAY and prepare for
an enjoyable Sleep which is sure to follow The
exercise afforded by this pastime cannot be
computed, as it brings into play every muscle
of the body, besides being relief for the
mind as well,
Mr.. George Meyers, the local agent of the
Brunswick -Balke-Collrnde Company, says that
medicines are not applicable to the ills of the
mind. while billiards allevIates and restores
that equanimity that is required for a we'll
ordered constitution ana makes one at peace
with himself"
