tragedy there last Monday, j. X Palmer
being killed by his brother-in-law, w. w.
Cunningham.
Palmer, who was a hard drinker, had
been beating his wife and children and they
left him and went 10 Cunningham's to live.
This so enraged him ne swore to kill the
entire party. He constantly went around
with a shotgun. Warrants were out for
his arrest, but no officer would arrest him.
Monday night, while the Cunningham fam
lily were at supper, Palmer was observed
sneaking up TO the house. He opened the
gate and tiptoed to the door, when
he was called to halt by Cunningham
and his other brother-in-law, Garrison. In
stead of doing so ne tried to shoot.
Cunningham was too quick, however, and
shot him dead in the presence of his wife
and children. Cunningham was released
on 800 bond. All the parties are promi-
nently connected in East Texas.

Colonel Alexander K Mcclure made
the remarkable statement al the Farmers
Institute In Doylestown, las. week, that
the Pennsylvania farmers would be better
protected with free wool than they are
now, and he challenged any one TO con-
tradict the statement. He declared, as IL
lustration aud proof, that under free wool,
twenty years ago, Michigan had more
than 1000, 900 sheep; aud that to-day,
with high tariff, that State had only
1000, 900 head. Colonel Mcclure asked
Roswell @. Horr, of Michigan, who was
to speak the following night, to explain
this state of affairs. Mr.. Horr did so.
With figures taken from the census and
from Government reports, be showed that
Michigan never had 1000, 600 sheep un-
der free trade or any other tariff that
Michigan did not have free wool twenty
years ago that 10 1870 she had |, 985, COS
sheep; 2,1s9, 389 in 1880, and Q, 4Ss, 700
in 1854 constant growth while the
tariff of 1857 was in force. After 1888,
under the reduced tariff of that year, they
decreased, until in 1887 they had shrunk
to 2,156, l27. The number of sheep 10
the country at large increased and de.
creased just as they did In Michigan. -
