CUT DOWN WITH A DIRK.
a Laborer Fatally Injuries North
Dakota Farmer.


GRAFTON, n. D., Sept 17.-Henry
Ladde, who shot and stabbed Jesse
Gallagher yesterday near Mimic, was
brought to Grafton. last night and
lodged in the county Jail. The follow
Ing is ladies story of the affair:
He was stacking wheat for Gallagher,
and Gallagher was pitching bundles to
him. The bundles came too fast, and
Ladde demonstrated, saying he could
not take care of them. Gallagher told
him he had pitched all his life, and that
he would pitch as he thought best, and
so continued to pile up the bundles
quite freely. Ladde got off the stack
and said he would quit. 1t was then II
O'Clock, and he went to his room over
the granary to change his clothes.
Shortly afterward Gallagher followed
him in, notin the best of humor. Ladde
claimed Gallagher owed HIM S7.75 for
two and half days at So per day. Gal
lagher. however, claimed to owe him
81, which Ladde refused, saying he
would not quarrel over it, but would
leave. He afterwards said he would
stop to dinner.
The men then went down stairs to the
ground. Still talking loudly. Gallagher
picked up plank and came toward
Ladde, as if to strike him. At this
Ladde pulled revolver from the pocket
of his coat and shot Gallagher, Just as
the board struck his arm, the ball enter
ing Gallagher's forehead, though not
stunning him. He Immediately grabbed
Ladde by the throat, when Ladde pulled
dirk from sheath under his coat and
plunged it into his victims bowels. Just
above the lower rib. Gallagher dropped,
and as the men came up from the field,
Ladde grabbed an ak and stationed
himself near wood pile, where he
stood his ground until the arrival of the
marshal.
Laddie is sixty-two years old and was
born in Pennsylvania, but came here
from Wisconsin four weeks ago. He
says the reason he had the dirk and re-
vOlver is that he was employed to watch
pine land in Wisconsin and had made
some bad enemies there. Nothing is
known of him but what he tells himself.
Drs. Evans and O'Keefe were called
and pronounced Gallagher's wounds

phlet at Laredo
LAREDO, Tex, Sept. 17.-Last night
while plazas in this city in Neva La
redo was crowded with people some
party unknown distributed among the
crowd dodger printed in Spanish
called "a Plan of Revolution" 1t Sc t
forth that Mexico was in the tolls
of second Santa Anna, referr-
ing to President Daz. and all
liberty-loying people should join in
revolution TO secure his overthrow.
The plan went on to name Caterina
GerZa as chief leader of the revolution
and RuSe SandOval, of border fame, as
commander-in-chief of the army. San
doVal Is the man who crossed the river
near here, some months ago with seven
men and was scoOped in by the civil
authorities assisted by the United
States troops, being acquitted for lack
of evidence as to his motive. Caterina
Garcia Is also a possessor of il unsavOry
reputation, and his record is not enYia-
BILE. Several years ago he became
mixed up in politics OH this side of the
river on account of being a Mexican
citizen. He was slapped in the public
street and had to leave the city. Since
then he has been mixed up in several
squabbles, always getting the worst
of 1t, and once he was shot
other election squabble. He secretly
has published small paper on a ranch
in Neuees county, and now is wanted
here for libel on account of articles pub
llshed In that paper. Last night. after
the circular referred to, q man named
Benzona, foreman Of Garcia's paper,
was arrested OH the plaza here, as he is
confidante in the libel suit. He is in
Jail unable to give bail. The gen
eral opinion here is that the whole
thing is a hoax. and reports
had crossed to Mexico with fifty men is
discredited here by all people who
know him. 1t IS known that SandoyaI
is not with MIN, but is in Galveston.
There may be some scheme connected
with the report, and portion of it is
believed to be the prevention of Gar
cias arrest by officers Of this county,
who are after him.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 17.-Capt.
Randall, of Fort Ringgold. wired Gen.
Stanley concerning the men who in
vaded Mexico to foment a revolution.
The scouting party has returned and re-
ports that they went to Genella ranch,
eighteen miles from Fort Ringgold, and
found that party of sixty men had
crossed the Rio Grande on the night of
the 18th. They came from Pao BlancO,
eighty miles north of the crossing. Many
of them were Mexicans from CarmargO
and were commanded by G. A. Garcia,
an editor. A large body of Mexican
troops from San Miguel engaged them
yesterday at Mgre. and are now in pur-
suit. There is report of more trouble
by reyoiutlonistS oil Guerray. The
leader, Garcia, was formerly editor of
Mexican paper at San Antonio and
lately at CamargO. He is under indict-
ment for crimlnalIy libelling the gov.
eminent of Mexico.

QUEER FINANCIERING.
1t Bobs Up in u st. Louis Com
mission Company.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 17-George ". Up
dyke filed suit to-day against James b.
l.. Keihlor, William Leftwich. Walter
Johnson, j. b. Goodrich and T. Grier, a
commission company, asking for an ac-
counting and the appointment of re-
ceiver for that company, which assigned
some time ago. The aVerments of the
petition are somewhat sensational.
All the parties to the suit were stock
holders in the Grier Commission COM
pany, Uydyke and Keihlor being the
largest. The petition AYERS that the
commission company was indebted to
the Exchange bank to the amount of
Sl23. 246, which it was unable to pay;
that Updyke and Keihlor agreed to be-
come personally responsible for the
amount; that notes were issued cover
ing the amount. OF the total amount,
SIS, 331 has been paid, $2l $50 by KeihlOr
and Sl7,03S by Updyke. In his petition
Updyke alleges that he paid his
share out of his means, but charges
Keihlor with using the collections OF
the Grier Commission company TO pay
his. Updyke also charges that Keihlor
since June, 1890, has appropriated to
his own use over $40, 900 OF the funds OF
the Grier Commission company, and
that there is little left of the assets but
some outstanding collections which are
of doubtful character. The company
is indebted to him, Updyke claims, in
the sum of 100000. Mr.. Keihl0r was
seen to day and denied the statement
in toto, and says that far from being
indebted to the firm, that the latter
owes him 100000

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 17.-Horrible
disclosures were made at a regent trial
in Kieffe, arising from the death of a
prisoner named Drijankoff in Jail. The
post norton examination on the body
showed that the man had been hOr-
being broken. At the trial ward
ers confessed that. by order of
Inspector Morozoff, they had beaten the
deceased with sticks and stones wrapped
in rags, and declared that such castiga-
ton was common. The evidence given
was in fact of nature to make ones
hair stand on end. Six warders were
sentenced to hard labor, while Inspector
Morozoff was sentenced to exile in ST.
IBERIA and the loss of civil rights. Moro
zoff, however, has eluded the police and
fled to America.

JONES A BOLTERs
HE Pays the Freight No Longer
Democrat.

BINGHAMToN, n. Y, Sept. 17-Lieut.
Gov. Jones to-day furnished the follow
ing for the press:
Being requested by the press to announce
my intentions relating to the nominations of
the Sayltoga convention, l would say that
my political action has always been con-
trolled by my sense of duty as citizen, never
recogI fling conflicting party obligations.
Believing in this instance that not only have
the interest of the whole people been sacri-
feed sut the existence of the Democratic
party jeopardized; for behind the nominal
lions. and in absolute control of the party,
are men whose every sentiment of patriotism
is shAiect either to their personal ambition
or tE self-greed, and the administration
of public affairs is shaped to perpetuate
theft rule. So complete is the power of
thess len, and so dictatorial have they be-
come. that members of the party are but
serf s,l far as political action is concerned.
Coffin led subservience must make the con-
dition TOO degrading to be quietly borne by
Ameri( I'm citizens. There is but one way TO
dislodg the usurpers. The temporary de-
feat of Inc party will be harmless compared
with the effects of their control. For the
welfare OF the state, ana i'll the interest of
the Democratic party, to me my duty appears
clear, which is to oppose the election of the
nomine j of the Saratoga convention TO such
extent Is may be within my power, and IN
such manner as may seem best TO accomplish
that purpose. EDWARD Z. JONES.

HASTINGS, Mimi, Sept. IA diSas-
trouS fire broke out this noon in one of
the grain StOrehouseS of Smith 81
Thompson on the upper levee. The
flames spread with great rapidity. The
two adjoining warehouses, with the
Chicago, Milwaukee e st. Paul railway
elevator and building just east of the
latter, were burned, including contents.
The flames swept across Vermillion
street, and the Thomson Houston cleo
trio light plant next went up in blaze.
The people were dismayed at the rapid
ity with which the flames jumped, and,
with a strong southwest gale, it
was thought the business portion
OF the city would be in danger, and
dispatch was sent to st. Paul to send
down engines, but the order was coun-
fernandez shortly after by the fire
being checked by our own department.
The total loss will reach fully SlOO, 900.
The insurance is comparatively small.
The cause OF the fire is as yet unknown,
originating in the store room where

Over the Hemp Route.
MEMPHIS, Sept. 17.-Unless the SUI
preme court shall interfere in his be-
half, Col. Ii. Clay King will be hanged
in this city OH Nov. next for the muir
der of David II. Posten March 10 last.
The chapter in the life Of Col. King, so
far as the criminal court of Shelby
county is concerned, was closed to-day,
when Judge j. J. Dubose, of the crimi-
nal court, after lengthy opinion, said:
LET the motion be overrulcd." The
crime for which ii. Clay King stands
convicted is too fresh in the minds
of the people to need rehearsing in
detail. Between 10 and II O'Clock on
the morning of the 10th of March Col.
King stepped from doorway Oh Main
street opposite Court square and shot
down Lawyer David III. Poston, who
was hurrying to the court house on inn
portant business. He died few hours
later. King at once gave himself up
and was committed to Jail without bail
and trial. A few months thereafter in
a trial lasting thirty-twO days, the long
est and most celebrated criminal trial
III the history of the county, the jury,
after two DAYS oeliberation, brought in
a verdict of murder. A new trial was
applied for. and this morning Judge
Dubose delivered his opinion, overrul-
ing the motion.
Every exception in the prisoners be-
half was overruled. There was brief
pause and a dea.h-like silence for more
than minute after the Judge had fin
Greer arose and i'll few words said the
prisoner excepted to the judgment of
the court in oYerruling the motion.
Thare was another pause of a minute,
when Judge Dubose, looking up from
the manuscript he had been arranging,
said, "Let the prisoner come forward"
Instantly Col. King rose from his
chair, and, with nervous step but fixed
and immOvable countenance, stepped
few PAGES toward the bench and looked
straight at the court. In distinct
voice the judge in effect said:
1T is the judgment OF this court that
you, Ii. Clay King, shall be committed
TO the county jail and there safely be
November, 1891, when, between the
hours of 10 a. III. and p. m, the sheriff
shall, within the Jail or an Enclosure
adjacent to the jail, take you to gal
lows therein constructed and hang you
by the neck until you are dead"
The prisoner stood as a statue
through the dread ordeal, and when the
court had finished he turned on his heel
and walked firmly back to his chair.
Maj. Weatherford then arose and said
to the court that an appeal would be
taken to the supreme court. Col. King,
between two deputies, was taken back

the court room, passed out into the
bright sunshine.
