Hunting for the Murderers.
SOMERSET, Pa, April Jonathan
Hockstettery so years Of age, was nm
doubtedly murdered near Trent Post
Office, fifteen miles from here, and thus
was carried out the threats of moon
sinners who swore to have his life for
his testimony against four Of their com
panions at the recent session of the
United States district court az Scranton.
The murder came to light in pecu-
liar way. James Beale, a young man OF
Westmoreland county, was tramping
over the Laurel Hill mountain Wednes-
day afternoon on his way to visit his
sister, Mrs. Smith, who resides three or
four miles from the county line in Som
erset county. He went along merrily
until he reached loop recently cut in
the road to avoid a chuck hole.
The Murder on the Highway.
The place is one of the most lonely
and desolate in the mountains. and just
as he had reached it he heard the short,
quick command halt A few yards
from him. standing erect in the middle
of an abandoned road, was a sturdy
looking gray headed man, with his face
turned toward two men, who stood
partly hidden in the trees, holding two
rifles pointed at him. The old man
seemed to be willing to surrender, and
he raised his right hand as though to tell
the men to hold OF. With the first
movement came the sharp crack of one
of the rifles, and the old man, without q
word, dropped ON his knees. Young
Beale jumped behind a tree.
Then one of the two men rushed into
the road and with his gun began to beat
the victim over the head. Then the
two grasped the unconscious old man by
the arms, and with kicks and curses be-
gan to drag him into the dense under
growth. Bea1e waited to see no more.
He thought he was in the presence of
highwaymen, and took to his heels.
THAT Mar Was NV Faiher!r
While Beale was reciting his story to
crowd of men Harvey Hockstetter
came up and anxiously asked IL amy one
had seen his father, Jonathan. The old
man had been at the Trent postoffice
during the afternoon, but had left for
his home, three miles distant. Beale
gave q description and gDnng Hockstet-
ter exclaimed, MY Eodi That was
father" Great excitement 6nsued at
the little village when 1t became known
that old Hockstetter was the victim.
The villagers immediately formed a
posse to search for the body. Under
Beale's guidance the posse, well armed.
repaired to the scene of the occurrence.
A large quantity of blood had formed .
pool where the deed was committed,
but this was the only evidence to sus-
tain Beale's story. Terrible excite
ment prevails and rigid hunt is being
made for the lmurderers.
The body was found late last might in
Laurel Hill creek

Some or the Leaders said 10 Fear

WASHINGTON. April i.-Some Of the
southern silver men ARE expressing
great anxiety about the Democratic
party in the south since the silver bill
has been defeated. They declare their
belief that II win be impossible to hold
the southern Alliance men out Of the
third party. One of the old North Caro-
lima members declares that he expects
to see North Carolina go Republican
this fall. His expectation il that the
Democrats will lose so many votes to
the third party that the Republicans
viii have plurality ii the state,
Others say that they believe that the
solid south Is a thing Of the past, and
that the third party viii carry Georgia,
and perhaps Louisiana, Alabama and
South Carolina. In their gloomy mood
they express fear that the Alliance
will send so many third party men 70
the next house from the south that they
will hold the balance Of power, and b
In u positions to dictate terms TO the old
parties.
Are They In Earnest7
Some Of this talk Is in earnest, while
some, no doubt. Ii for the purpose of
frightening southern members who are
not quite sound" ON silver. Jerry
Simpson is quite ready to Join In these
predictions. which, while gloomy to the
Democratic prophets, are to him quite
bright and cheering. He said today that
he thought the southern Alliance MEM
bers would no longer hold ont against
the third party movement, and that the
third party would carry Georgia and
probably some other southern states.
He said further TINT he did not be-
heve the Republicans could carry a state
west Of the Missouri river. He Is in
dulging In the happy dream Of the Al
lance having the balance Of power In
the next house, and Of their being able
to throw the election Of president into
this house. This gives an idea Of the
wild character of political discussion
that has got the run IN Washington
!, since the silver schemes have failed.
