THE HENRY's FORK MURDER,

Young Hereford Fired Five Bullets Into
His Victlm.
EVANSTON, Wyo., March 8.-A gentleman
is here from Fort Bridger, Wyo, and gives
the particulars in the case OF the killing of
James Mas by Toote Hereford on Sunday
last at Henry's Fork. A party of young
folks had gone to spend the day at ranch
house situated just over the Sweetwater
county line. At the table Hereford re-
marked to Mas: II want to see you, Jim,
outside" They went out of doors
and the persons who remained at tn 4,
dinner table were startled a moment
later at the sound Of a revolver shot. They
went out and found james Mas dying
within few feet of his slayer. Mas died
almost instantly. He had no weapon on
his body. Hereford shot him five times,
and any one of the four shots would have
terminated fatally. He claims that he
killed Mas in self-defense. There were no
witnesses to the fatal meeting, but the cir
stances are against Hereford's declaration.
Public sentiment is strongly against the
prisoner, who was taken to the county Jail
at Green River by the sheriff of Sweetwater.

A WOMAN ABDUCTED.
Supposed to Have Been Carried Off to Her
Ex-Husband's Home.

Supposed to Have Been Carried Off to He,
Ex-Husband's Home.
. CHICAGO, March S.-Mrs. Tillie Mowrey
was forcibly kidnapped yesterday by two
unknown men, thrust into a carriage and
driven hastily to the Wisconsin Central de-
pot in time to catch the train for the north.
The deed was committed on the corner of
Franklin and Van Buren streets in broad
daylight. 1t was SO neatly done that hun
dreds of people passing to and fro did not
realize what had been done until too late.
Mrs. Mowrey is scarcely 1s years of age, but
sine has been twice married. Her first hus-
band, from whom she was divorced, was
Hubert Secord, young man whose present
address is Packwaukee, Wis. He is said to
have been writing letters importuning her
to return to him. A telegram signed with
the abducted woman's name was received
by her parents last night. It was dated
Rugby Station, Wis, and said "his friends'
had taken her away.
Mrs. Mowbrey was heard from to-day,
Her father received a telegram, purporting
to be from the sheriff at Portage, Wis,
saying he had the young woman under his
protection, and she had been illegally ar
rested. No reference was made to Secord;
her first husband, who, it was suspected,
might have caused the kidnapping.

spain Ready tn Fight Against Annexing
Cuba to the Unitod states.
MADRID. March Sci Heraldo, in an nrti-
ole protesting against the supposed scheme
Of the United States government to annex
the island Of Cuba, says Blaine ought to
recollect that the congress Of the American
nations plainly proved that Spanish Ameri-
cans are not disposed to allow themselves to
be absorbed by the great northern republic.
The people of Cuba, 1t says, are strongly
Spanish and equally opposed to becoming
part OF the United States. Probably, with
the exceptions Of the tradesmen, there is no
one in the island who IL at all desirous OF
annexation. "Spain," El Heraldo con-
tinues, would shed her last drop OF blood
IN resisting any attempt TO deprive her Of
her colony, fearing neither Cuban revolu-
tlon nor q war with the United States.''
