ANOTHER SHOOTING scRAPE.
Silas Wo0dmansee Fires a Gun at Mrs
Sarah Mculure, But Misses
His Aim.

The spirit of deviltry which has re.
Gently been manifesting itself in this
county broke out again last Thursday
morning at Careytown, hamlet of half
dozen houses in Penn township. The
families of Silas Woodmansee and George
Mcclure live on opposite sides of the
pike and have been carrying on for
some time family quarrel which origi.
mated in some trivial affair. The chief
cause of the trouble is the violent tenn
per of Mrs. Sarah Mcclure who, although
she is well connected, has a reputation
as terror in every neighborhood in
which she has lived. Latterly Mrs. Nc
Clure's evil temper got so bad that the
occupants of the Woodmansee house
were kept in state of seige, hardly
daring to come into the front yard or to
raise a window blind for fear of her
threats to shoot them at sight.
Last Thursday morning at about day.
break one Of the young McClures was seen
flourishing shotgun in the yard. Mrs.
Mcclure came out and she and Silas
Woodmansee renewed the quarrel with
the result that Silas fred blunderbuss
of some kind toward the Mcclure resi-.
dence, filling the front of the house with
shot. He claims that he only did it to
scare her and that she had gone in and
there was nobody in sight when he fred.
Mrs. Mcclure came to town and swore
out . warrant before Mayor Dawson
charging Woodmansee with shooting at
her with intent to kill and wound.
Officers Willett and McMullen went out
and brought him in early Friday morn.
ing. He gave bond and the hearing was
set for Monday but was afterwards, by
consent, postponed till Wednesday morn.
ing at 8 o'clock.
Woodmansee is about sixty years ol
age and is an old soldier. He has always
borne good reputation and even on
this occasion didn't seem to have mean,
to injure any one, but by his foolish act
has laid himself liable to severe punish
ment unless the facts are found upon
trial to differ from what has been repre-
sented.

Iuare Ro,k,n ON the Killing.

Topeka, July S.-Judge Theodore
Botkin is In the city to-day to consult
with Governor Humphrey in regard to
the killing of Sam Wood. The news
paper agitation ali over the state about
the necessity of calling in a new Judge
TO try the case, and the charges OF a
conspiracy to kill Wood in which Bot
kin Is implicated. are having a telling
effect on the robust judge from the
Thirty-second district. In an interview
this morning, he said that continue
ton of the articles in the Topeka pa
pcrs along the line thev had been pur-
suing would do more to stir up strife in
the southwest than all the other causes.
"My friends are not built to stand
idlv by and see me murdered" he said,
land these articles are only intended to
infiame the Woodsdale people. l know
that two meetings have been held in
Woodsdale for the purpose OF discussing
means for removing me. One week ago
Sunday there was meeting held at
which eleven men were present No
definite action was taken, because they
were afraid that there was one man in
the crowd who could not be trusted. A.
NJ. Mackey, here in Topeka, seems de-
termined that there shall be blood shed,
and has succeeded in stirring up
more excitement here than there is in
Stevens county"
Judge Botkin refused to discuss the
probability of any action which might
be taken looking to the appointment Of
a special Judge to try the case. He said
that he did not know OF ANYTHING hav-
ing been done or of any steps likely to
follow.
'Tf the Woodsdale people were as
Jealous in attending to their own af-
fairs" he said, ''as the court officers
are, there would be no necessity for
further solicituie. Everything is quiet
now in Hugoton. No one defends the
manner in which Wood was killed. 1t
was the first unmanly thing ever
known of Jim Brennan's doing, and |
have known him intimately fJr seven
years. AS soon as Wood had been shot
went to him and sad, Jim, for God 8
sake. what made you do it's He re-
fused to say stating that his defense
would be made at the proper time"

day in Chambers before Judge A. j.
Seay, of the territorial supreme court.
Guthrie. who Is member of the nation,

nation. In his petition it is alleged
that he now has 1900 head of cattle.

that he has fencing and buildings of the
value OF $1,000. The military are now
in the vicinity of his ranch, and under
their orders from the secretary of war
are threatening TO drive him and his
cattle out OF the territory. The argu-
ment was made in behalf of Guthrie bv

the Cherokee outlet for grazing pur-
poses Is prejudicial to public interests.
that no cattle or live stock shall be
hereafter brought upon said land for
herd1ng and grazing thereon, and that

LEAvENwoRTH, Ks, July 13.-In the
district court to-day Judge Crozier rem
dered decision in the case of Leayen-
worth County vs. J. W. Spratley, late
democratic county treasurer, and where
in the county brought suit to recover
5000 interest money. The interest
sued for accrued on funds held By the
county IL trust for railroad bonds, OF
which Spratley was the custodian, and
which he refused 10 turn over TO his
successor, claiming il belonged to him
because he was responsible for the prin-
cipal 10 the railroads and not TO the
county. Judge Crozier decided that the
interest money belonged 70 the county,
and he ordered Sprstley to turn itoyer.
The Judge said the county board was re-
spousible, and not the treasurer, during
the whole time the money was held In
trust. and IL il should be lost by the
failure OF bank the county would be
responsible. The decision gives much
