May Develop a Bloody warfare.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July ia dispatch
from Jewett, Texas, says: As result of
long-existing feud between two farmers,
]. T. Russell and ]. II. Fletcher the latter
was shot and fatally wounded yesterday.
As Russell, with his son, were coming to
town they were overtaken by Fletcher,
who opened fire on the elder Russell.
shooting twice at him. The son jumped
between the two mon, shot gun in hand,
emptied both barrels in Fletcher's breast,
inhicting gaping wounds which doubtless
will terminate fatally. Whatever the out
come Of this affair it is thought that this
is but the beginning of a feud as bloody
as any that has cursed the state in many
years, as both have many friends and
staunch supporters.

An Unwilling B,ramist.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 2O.-An interest
ing and sensational case is that of David
C. Bryant, an Indianapolis photographer,
who is under arrest for bigamy with the
woman who has passed as his lawful
wife for years. Bryant's accuser is
Marietta Bryant, who lives at Oh West
Georgia street. She married Bryant In
Wisconsin 81 years ago and five years
afterwards they separated. She went
to Terre Haute and on the 18th of April,
1875, applied for divorce.
He says he was informed by the attor-
ney that the decree had been granted.
He afterwards met Mrs. Foster, daugh-
ter of Mrs. Morris, in this county and
they were married in Paris, Ill. They
moved here some 10 or 10 years ago.
When arrested Bryant was at loss to
understand the charge, but hearing the
name Of his accuser, he went to Terre
Haute, where an examination of the
records showed that he had never been
divorced.
The case has been filed and regularly
docketed but had been dismissed with
out having come to trial. Bryant stoutly
disclaims any intention of wrong doing.
Marietta Bryant has resided in the
city for four or five years and has had
knowledge of her husbands living with
another woman all the time. She de.
clined to state why she had waited SC
long to cause her husbands arrest. She
says she is going to fight for her rights
She has employed counsel to push the
prosecution. Bryants Terre Haute at.
torney, who is alleged to have involved
him in all this trouble, died several
years ago.

FIGHT orER A PUBLIC BUILDING.


CHICAGO, July IA special dispatch
from Plattemouth, Neb., says: School
district No. 28 Is torn up with dissen-
sions and last evening the bad blood
and bitter feeling between the two fac
tons eliminated in sanguinary en-
gagement. The school house is located
on the Platte bottoms.
The occasion was the adjourned
meeting of the board of trustees and the
contemplated relocation of the school
house was the casus belli. The battle
was commenced when Director Nc
Croskey, with his finger on an out
spread map, declared the intention was
to relocate the school-house upon the
spot indicated. Charles Vandeventer
insinuated that McCorskey was mis-
leading them in regard to the new
site. McCroskey Indignantly denied the
charge, whereupon Vandeventer, by a
well-directed blow, struck him down.
McCroskey was up in moment and
Selling the large oil lamp on the desk,
hurled it at his assailant. Meanwhile
friends of the principals had taken
up cudgels in behalf of their
respective chiefs, and for a short time
the house Of learning was pande-
monium, the air full of flying missils
and rent with the yells and shrieks of
the assaulting and assaulted. The
result was number of serious con-
tusions and the development Of bitter
feud, but not casualties.

The YOUNGSTOWN disaster Recalled.

PITTsBURG, July 1s.-Thc counsel
for Mrs. Nancy. W. Little has filed
statement in his suit against the South
Fork fishing and hunting club of Pitts
burg. Mrs. Little in behalf of herself
and eight children asks for $4,000 dam
age for the death of her husband, John
A. Little, who was lost in the Johns
town flood. Mr.. Little was travelling
salesman and at the time of the disaster
was guest of the Hubert House,
Johnstown. The South Fork club it is
charged is responsible for the flood by
reason of the negligent and unskillful
manner in which the dam at South
Fork was constructed. The sluice was
not sufficient to allow the water to flow
through and the dam was not capable
of holding back the great body of water
accumulated above it.

ST. LOUIS, July ia San Antonio,
Texas, special says that B. P. Lawson, a
prominent stockman of Deming, N. NJ,
has arrived there and gives an account Of
the grasshopper ravages in the north
ern and western counties of New
Mexico, where he says they are doing
1T-year locusts which ravaged the
west during the seventies. The lands are
grazing lands in New Mexico but the
locusts are moving east and north in two
principal swarms driving grasshoppers on
the range and leaving the alkali bare.
They have stripped the vegetation and
leaves off the trees and left nothing but
the dry alkali earth.
Where they have struck the Rio Grande,
where the land is cultivated, they have
ravaged the ground of everything in sight.
They move in lunches four and five miles
wide. One bunch has devastated Colfat and
Mora in the northern part of the territory
and is spreading into Colorado, Kansas
and the Pan Handle of Texas, while
another bunch will reach the Central
Texas line by winter. They do not make
much progress. They will keep moving
in this way and lay billions of eggs in
Texas and Kansas for next season.
It will be bad for the ranges of western
Texas, for if they can cross New Mexico
they will have no trouble on the old staked
plains. They may not reach eastern Texas
next week, soon enough to destroy the
crops. but | fear for Kansas, it will go
hard with her in 1892.

A CIRCUS TENT COLLAPsEs.
A Perfect Pandemonium Under the
Fallen Canvas--Women Screamed and
tainted in their Great Terror.

CARLISLE, ILL, July 1S.-One of those
frightful panics that are always possible
when large number of people are packed
in small Enclosure resulted here yester-
day when a circus tent blew down while
filled with people. 1t seems miracle that
scores of women and children were not
tramped to DEATH AS it was, none of the
spectators were killed or fatally injured,
but several employees of the show were
badly hurt.
The performance was proceeding and
the seats were well filled when fearful
gust of wind struck the tent with such
force that the guy ropes gave way and q
large portion of the canvas was precipitated
on.the heads of the people. Instantly the
widest panic prevailed and for few
moments the hoarse shouts of men and
the shrieks of women and the cries
of children were appalling. One
woman YVES caught under fallen
pole and was thought to be dead
but when extricated it was found that she
had merely swooned and was otherwise
uninjured. Several children fell through
the seats to the ground below, and their
parents became frantic when they missed
their little ones, and added to the wild
CONSERVATION by heart-rending cries.
Finally, through the efforts of those who
kept their heads, the canvas was lifted
and the panic was abated sufficiently to
admit Of restoring order. The injured
employees OF the circus are all resting com
fortably, and 1t is believed all will recover.

HANOVER, N. H., July 1S.-As Miss
Christie Warden, accompanied by her
mother, her sister Fannie and Louise
Goodell, were returning on foot to their
home, located one mile from the village,
at late hour last night, Frank Almy,
about 80 years of age, jumped into the
road in front of them and, selling
Christie by the arms, said: 81 want
you" The mother and sister attempted
to defend her. Almy fired at them,
but missed his aim. They ran for
assistance. Then Almy dragged his
victim into the bushes from the road
and shot her twice through the head,
one shot tearing out her left eye. When
help arrived the girl was dead and her
body was stripped of nearly every
article of clothing. Almy had fed.
Miss Warden was a beautiful and most
estimable young woman about 25 years
old, graduate of the state normal
school and popular teacher.
Almy was a former employee Of her
father and his attentions to Miss Chris
tie had been repulsed. She was a
daughter of Andrew A. Warden a
wealthy farmer and leading citizen.
II was midnight before the news
reached the village. Sheriff Foster is
sending out searching parties in all
directions. Almy is about four feet ten
inches tall, has dark moustache and is
of pleasing address and we'll dressed.
The father of the murdered girl offers a
reward of $500 for the capture of the
murderer. The town will undoubtedly
offer an additional reward.

at the time Of his death was wealthy,
having an annual income Of over IS, 600.
He was highly respected and frequently
honored with public offices. The claim
ant says she is his lawful wife.

PERILs OF COAL OIL.
Two Children Burned to Death and Their
Mother Frlghtfully Burned.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 18.-A careless
nurse girl, in the employ of Carl
Schwartz of Erie, Pa, yesterday left
his two children, Lena aged four years
and Baby Anne, alone in back yard
in the vicinity of some matches and an
oil can.
Soon after their mother found both
children in flames and in her frantic eff
forts to save them was almost burned to
death herself.
Little Lena is dead. The baby will
die and the mother will he cripple for
life, while the father, who is in very
precarious health, lies in a swoon. Mr.
Emit Struber, who saved the mothers
life, was frightfully burned about the
hands.
