Auother RevoIHng Murder on Long

I've killed Winnie Croupa aud I've
brought you one Of his fingers to prove it, "
was the remark which Mortified Constable
Sasheck Of Bohemia, Long Island last
Friday night as Frank Krulis walked into
his house and laid on the dining room table
a human finger Krulis then went on to
tell how he met his victim and cut his
throat, adding 81 wanted to make sure that
he would never speak again, so cut him
open" Guided by Krulis the officer and
four other men went 10 the scene Of the
tragedy, on a secluded road near the vii
lage, where the body was found in blood
red snow The clothing was torn from it,,
and in the abdomen was large hole The
entrails lay on the breast, neck and face,
hiding the fatal cash in the throat Krulis
was at once taken in custody, but the news
of the murder spread like wildhre, and
soon a frenzied crowd were clamoring that
he be killed. The officers, however, sue
ceeded in getting him to Jail The murder
err conducted himself in an unconcerned
manner, apparently reveling in the thought
Of his crime, which was committed, he
said, because Croupa told lies about him.

Bloody Affrny with Treacherous In
dinua.

A bloody and desperate affair with the
Indians took place on Porcupine Creek, in
the Bad Lands, on Monday morning Big
Foot's band of warriors had been sur
rounded by the government troops under
command of Col Forsythe for the purpose
of disarming them. At first the young
braves seemed TO comply, but when ordered
TO come up 20 at a time to give up their
rifles, it was found that not more than two
or three guns among the 20 were being sur
rendered. The officers in charge thereupon
ordered the troops, with a cavalry reserve,
to close about the Indians and search their
tepees. This seemed TO be signal to the
Indians, and although they had pretended
to surrender, they suddenly began firing
upon the troops not more than 90 feet
away, killing 25 and wounding as many
more of the soldiers. The troops, mad
dened by this act of treachery, returned
the fire with broadside, and in the deadly
scene which followed almost the whole
band of 100 Indians we're killed, although
a few escaped, firing as they went. The
scene was as deadly and as exciting, for
the time being, as at the Custer massacre,
except that the victory on this occasion was
with the troops The latest report is that
700 other Indians have been captured in
the Bad Lands, and it is believed that the
Indian troubles are now practically over.

The Democratic members of the Senate
are acting as obstructionists on the Federal

propose to put an end to this by so chang
ing the Senate rules as to cut off debate
aud motions to amend at certain time and
bring the measure to vote This arouses
Democratic wrath and calls out denuncia-

John P. Matthews, a young man of 81,
the Republican postmaster at Carrollton,
Miss, was shot and killed in that place last
week. Accounts of the affair vary. On
the one side it is said that politics were at
the bottom of the murder the shooting
being done by a man named Nc Bride,
backed up by a mob, who danced about
Matthew's dead body after it had been
filled with bullets. Another account SAYS
that the shooting grew out of personal
quarrel between Matthews and Mcbride
The murdered man was the brother of j.
M Matthews, who ran for Congress in that
district last fall on the Republican ticket.
He was the first Republican postmaster to
take the Carrollton office for many years,
and it was freely said that no Republican
should hold the office. 1t was the young
mans father that was shot down by a mob
at Hazelhurst, Miss in 1888.
The bottom seems to have dropped com
pletely out of Fort Payne and Fort Payne
stock for the time being at least. w. P,
Rice announces that he has reached the
limit of his financial ability to keep the
boom on its feet, and the stockholders of
the Coal and Iron company have been asked
for voluntary" subscription of s. share
to keep the concern afioat. The Vermont
stockholders are included in this invitation
as a matter of course. This probably makes
them and all the other southern boomers
feel cheerful. The Burlington Free Press
remarks dryly, but with touch of frozen
truth that the lesson that these Vermont
investors are learning is obvious No legit-
innate business enterprise can pay the ex-
pense of free rides across the country in
palace cars, with free board of the most
sumptuous sort included, and pay a divi-
dend to stockholders for any length of
time. - If this Fort Payne money had been
invested in Vermont its owners would at
least know where it is, and they would
also have the satisfaction of knowing that
they had made an honest effort to help their
own home enterprises to keep on their feet
and make Vermont state worth living in.
