Deputy Marshal Arrests Two Men FOR
Murder.
PARIS, Tex, Jan. II deputy Marshal
Sam Williams arrived in the city yes
terday with Joe Perkins and John Luz
cas-, charged with the murder OF John
Crowder and a1 assault to murder
upon Bill Hutchinson, about twenty
miles east OF Durant, In the Choctaw
nation, yesterday week ago, Crow
der and Hutchinson were driving along
the road in a wagon across the prairie,
when they were fired upon from n
deep gully by the side Of
the road, Seeing and recognizing their
assailants they returned the fire.
Crowdcr fired until his Winchester was
shot from hi, ha ids and he fell out OF
the wagon Hutchinson ran of and
escaped. After being shot through,
Crowder got up aud walked a mile TO
the nearest house, where he told who
shot him. Hutchinson left, aud went
TO Com uerce, in Hunt county. Both
told who did the shooting. Crowder
died Friday. II seems that there was
an old feud between them, or that the
trouble started in a former trouble be-
tween other parties.

Three Remarks About Marriage.

James Lane Allen has a story en-
titled John Gray" il which he has
three remarks TO make aproPos to the
subject Of marriage: Some women III
marrying demand all and give all; with
good men they are happy; with base men
they are broken hearted. Some demand
everything and give little; with weak
men they are tyrants; with strong men
they are divorced. Every bachelor IS
really the husband of an old maid. For
every single man carries around with
him the spirit Of a woman to whom he is
more or less happily welded. When a
man actually narries. this inner help
mate wisely disappears in the presence
of her external contemporary"

An Error in the Lords Prayer.

A party of gentlemen were the other
evening discussing literary subjects
when one asked another to point out the
grammatical blunder in the Lords
Prayer. Half a dozen tried; some
thought it lay in the words, (which art
in heaven" others placed it elsewhere,
but not one detected it in the expression,
For thine is the kingdom, the power
and the glory" To be perfectly correct
the word lis" should be ARE" but people
have used it in the present form so long
that they never think of regarding it as
a blunder. There are teachers who say
such an expression is right, because it
sounds right, but reverse it and say,
The kingdom. the power and the glory
is thine" and the fault is soon perceived.

The Difference.

whoa there, | say; whoa, you brute!"
The man jerked his horse savagely,
pulling him right and left for the simple
reason that when he had left the poor
animal a moment it had moved toward
a spot of grass, which it began to nibble,
when it was refined mp by it's angry
master.
At the same moment another man
who had stopped his team opposite was
lifting a dozen jolly boys and girls from
his truck and dropping them gently on
the grass.
THANK you, mister" they chorused
as, smiling, he drove away.
Out of the goodness of his heart he
had treated them to a ride. His neigh
Dor vented his bad temper on his horse.

lels, but their souls were as far apart as

The Electric Fire Engine.

An electrical application, which is
only waiting until electricity can be "A
extensively distributed as water to be
generally adopted, is the electric fire en-
glne' 1t Is even now being used to a
limited degree. In an experiment at
the late Crystal palace electrical exhibit
Ton the motor was worked on a circuit
at a pressure Of 105 volts. With this
pressure, when running at about $50
revolutions per minute, the pump pro-
PEELED a jet of water from a 1-inch noz-
gle TO a height Of 100 feet, the water
pressure being seventy-fve pounds per
square inch.
With W. delivery hose pipes on at
once, having nozzles respectively one
inch and seven-eighths inch, the motor
ran at $50 revolutions per minute and
the pressure vas forty-fve pounds to
the square inch, the two jets rising to a
height of about eight feet. The COM
blnation of an electric motor and a
pump has manifest advantages over the
steam fire engine, provided a supply of
current is available.
In the case of the latter it is always
necessary TO keep up steam, SO that time
will not be lost when an alarm is sound
ed, and the fact that the motor is in
stantly ready for service as soon as a
current is turned on makes it obviously
better adapted to many conditions. 1t
Is beyond question hat the day will
o come when the distribution of cleo
tricity will be SO general that the pump
operated by an electric motor will be
the most important piece Of fire fighting
apparatus -Pittsburg Dispatch.

cred the little that was grown. Then
after that, dryness again and now" he

WOMAN WITH A BOMB.
Attempt to Blow Up the Residence Of q
Chicago Board of Trade Man.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. Am attempt was
made last night to blow up the residence
and family of Charles D. Irwin, a
wealthy Board of Trade operator, at
2400 Calumet Avenue, and the police are
searching high and low for the assassin,
who is a woman. The attempt would
have probably been successful had not
persons passing frightened the woman.
who left large can half filed with
high explosive, and ran toward the
lake. The can was discovered a few
minutes later, but the. finders we're
afraid to touch it, and called Mr.. Irwin
out. He picked up the can, and on ex
aiming its contents discovered that it
was more than half filed with gum
powder. In all there were about ten
pounds of the deadly explosive. The
amount was sufficient, if eX-
ploded, to have blown the build
ing to atoms. The actions of the
woman leave no doubt IN the minds of
the police and MIR. Irwin that she in
tended to blow up his house and cause
the death of all who we're inside. She
was attired in deep mourning and wore
heavy black veil that fell below her
waist. Mr.. Irwin cannot account for the
attempt. He says no women have any
dealings with the firm, hence the
motive could not be one of revenge for
the loss of money. -

CALIFORNIA LAND SWiNDLE.
Thousands of Dollars Dropped by East
ern Men.

san FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. 3.-Three
indictments found by the grand jury
yesterday reveal a swindle of gigantic
proportions. in which about 400 people,
principally in the East. have been badly
bitten. Two of the swindlers, O. E..
Moore and I. II. Downing, are within
reach, but the third, A. A. Hoyt, is in
Mexico. In 1887 Moore bought from
the millionaire farmer, John Boggs,
1900 acres of land in Tehama
County, adjoining Senator Stanford's
Vina ranch. Not cent was paid
for 1t, the basis of the transaction being
long credits. Within few days Moore
had plastered the place with $500, 900
mortgage, the Savings Union, Of this
city, being victimized. Then he sold
two-thirds of the place to Hoyt and
Downing, and organized the California
Land Company, and called the tract the
Gilmore Colony" Circulars were is
sued and a gorgeous magazine was pub
l1shed offering fve-acre tracts for 81 a
week on each acre, the total price being
SIS per acre. Four hundred victims
were secured. Some paid up in full
and got worthless deeds. A few
months ago Downing transferred his
interest back to Moore. The Savings
Union demands S63, 900 from the ras-
Gals, and Boggs will take back the land.
