An old ConnectIcnt Teacher soundly
ThrasheS u Hcsentfpl Young Man.
When William Sturges taught school
in the little red schoolhouse on the hill
in this town, over forty years ago. he
was cupsidercd u strict disciplinarian
among his pupils. One OF them wus
Lorenzo Olmstcad. whom MIR. Sturgos
had occasion to thrash soundly one term
for a bit of deviltry. The affair caused
some talk at the time, according to the
Wiltonites, but they all upheld MIR.
jSturges. The other day, when Mr..
.Sturges now a man approaching his
SEVENTEEN year, went to the post Office
for his daily mail, he met a son of his
former pupil, named Harry Olmstead,
who Is just twcntN-one years old.
Young olmstead stepped up to the old
man and remarked:
"Mr. Sturgcs, many years ago you
gave my father, Lorenzo by name, who
was one of your students, a terrible
thrashing Do you remember it2" FpSB
The old schoolmaster replied in the
Affirmative and added that he deserved
1t.
"Well," said young Olmstead, II am
going to lick you, my dear sir, and pay
up that old score with compound inter-
est"
IF you think you can do 1t you can
begin now" said Mr.. Sturges.
Some further words were exchanged,
and it was proposed that they put up
some money on the result Olmstead
borrowed fifty cents and placed it In
Louis Verlin's hands, which amount
Mr.. Sturges promptly covered from an
old sheepsltin pocketbook. A ring was
formed and the old man put up his fists.
Young Olmstead, who had considerable
confidence In himself because he had
taken lessons in boxing from Norwalk
sport, sailed In. He can not tell to-day
exactly how II happened. Mr.. Sturges
warded off his blows, seized him by his
coat collar and the seat of his trousers
and shook him until his teeth ratified.
Then he motioned for more room and
began to Plow mp the ground with
young OlmsteRds nose. After getting
quite furrow he narrowed 1t with the
youngsters legs, and finally let him
up. The young man was now
thoroughly mad, and, forgetting the
old score, with interest, he was going
to pay on his fathers account, started
In to pay off the present one. Again
the old man took hold of him, but this
time he lost his footing and came down
on top of his youthful antagonist. He
seized Olmstead's neck between his
teeth and bit him severely. Then he
let go there and got hold of an ear, and
he was chewing away on that with
great vigor when the bystanders inter
fered and separated the fighters.
tOlmstead was a sorry sight His
clothing was useless, even for corn,
field scarecrow, and his face and ear
were bleeding freely. The old man
was excited, and his collar was awry,
with the old-fashioned stock twisted
around under one ear. Not a mark of
the affray was on him. Claiming the
stakes, which were handed over to
him, he went home, while Olmstead
sought secluded spot to make re-
pairs 10 his wardrobe. The affair
created much talk here, because Mr..
Sturges is school visitor, town audi
tor, and pillar of the church. But
the provocation was great-N. Y. Sun.

A Romantic Case.

CMoo, CAL, January 81. P. Mcintyre,
a private detective of st. Johnsbury, VT,
arrived here, hired team and went over to
Glenn county in search of J. M. Martin ana
wife, the latter being the rightful heir to a
fortune left by her father, ex-Congerssman
Cross, of Vermont. About ten years ago
Bertha Cross met Martin in Washington, D.
c.; as the father opposed the marriage, the
couple eloped. Several years later they came
to California. The mother of the girl has
since died and last July the father died, leav-
ing the entire fortune of about 81 COZ, 900 to
this only daughter. Detectives have been
searching since the fathers death and finally
located the daughter in Glenn county. Mar
tin for several years lived in this city in very
poor circumstances and month ago moved
to Glenn county. Martin and his wife and
the detective left to-day for st. Johnsbury.

The Governor Holding the Lines.
TOPEKA, January "a dispatch was re-
ceived at the governors Office from Adjutant
General Roberts, at Arkalon. It states that
one-half the troops had been sent to Spring
field in charge of Colonel Ricksecker, and
that he would remain at Arkalon with
the balance. It also stated that he was hold
ing four prisoners at the request of Judge
Botkin, and that he did not anticipate any
trouble while the militia remained.
Governor Humphrey sent the following re-
ply:
Colonel J. N. Roberts. Arkalon, Kan;
You are only to hold prisoners until war
rants can be issued and served upon them.
There should be no unreasonable delay in
this. Judge Botkin has no authority to Or
der you to do this or that.
If the sheriff, armed with the warrants, is
resisted, or if he has good grounds to fear
dangerous resistance, then you will aid and
protect him in the discharge of his duty.
The prisoners must be protected from NO
lence from whatever source.

Slippery Diplomacy.

Slippery Diplomacy.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-When ON November
10 of last year Attorney General Miller made
the announcement before the supreme court
ofthe United States that the basis for arbitrat-
ing the Behring sea difficulty has been reach
ed, he was saying what, of course, was at the
time strictly true.
An agreement seemed to have been arrived
It as to the different questions to be submit
ted to the arbitrators.
The only matter open for further considera-
ton was the manner in which the arbitrators
were to be selected and their number.
This, it was confidently believed, would
present no serious difficulty.
What Attorney General Miller announced,
however, NO longer holds good. It will be
remembered that the agreement he spoke of
was not original.
In other words it was not in the nature of a
regular treaty.
1t was simply series of propositions
agreed upon by Secretary Blaine and Sir
Julien Pauncefote, reduced to writing,
which bad received the sanction ON one hand
OF President Harrison, and ON the other of
Lord Salisbury.
Al this has now been upset by demands on
the part OF Lord Salisbury for further modi-
dcataon OF the agreement reached in Novem-
ber. Precisely what Is the nature of these de-
mands II u impossible to ascertain.

The Remedies.

TOPEKA, January 8.-Governor Humphrey
thinks that the remedy for the troubles in
the sparsely settled counties in southwestern
Kansas, is for the legislature to disorganize
them and attach them to more populous coun-
ties for Judicial purposes; so that criminals
may be tried and punished. As the law now is,
and as these counties are now populated, it is
impossible to get jury, as was demonstrated
ia the Brennan case.
OAttorney General Ives coneurs in this, but
also suggests that speedy remedy may Lie in
declaring that country under martial law.
This would give opportunity for speedy set
Element of the difficulty by court martial
trials and military executions.

THE SAM WOOD WAR.

Another Sheriff Killed In Ambush.
TOPEKA, KAN.-Tuesday kilograms were re-
ceived at the governors Office from Judge
Botkin at Arkalon, and were repeated to
Governor Humphrey at his home in indie
pendence.
The first dispatch from Botkinwas thought
to be hasty and from partial information.
The second one asked that 100 stands of
arms and ammunition be sent to him on
special engine and sent quick. Governor
Humphrey ordered Adjutant General Roberts
TO take a company of militia and 60, calling
IN more If he thought best.
General Roberts ordered the Sterling COM
pany, 81, to Hutchinson, where he would de-
tail enough men from company E to make
!. Mxty men in all, and there wait for him.
Roberts took the night train for Hutchinson.
Upon the receipt of the first dispatches
from Botkin, Attorney General Ives wired
the county attorney of Seward county for his
version; and received the following in reply !:
John N. Ives, Attorney General.
Information reached Judge Botkin three
weeks ago that he was to be killed this morn
ing on the road from home to the court house
at Springfield. He laid the matter before q
number of the best citizens, but the story
seemed so preposterous that nobody believed
It. On January q the information from a
Different source again came to Judge Botkin.
He ordered the informant brought before
him, which was done Saturday night. The
different stories were SO uniform that he de-
Eded to take extra precautions. After con-
bultation with Sheriff Dunn the plan was de-
Hded upon to have the sheriff with a posse to
Scout the country between the judges house
Ind Springfield. Early this morning the six
different deputies detailed for that purpose
met at Judge T. Botkin's house and remained
until 800 this morning, when they left to
lake up q position at the head of canon
where it was said the ambush laid for the
Judge was to be formed this morning. The
bherif's posse went on foot from the judges
house, two and half miles from the canon,
Ind had just entered it when about forty
hen, said to be from Woodsdale and Spring
6eld, marched in upon them. At break of
day the battle opened and lasted until about
sunrise. Sheriff Dunn was wounded and
chem fiddled with bullets. Sheriff-elect Roy
Guymore was seen to fall and was reported
killed, but is not hurt. His fall was occa-
ioned by a cramp in the leg, to which he is
subject. The mob hunted for him for half
IN hour but failed to find him. He is now
In route to Liberal. Deputy Sheriff Nixon is
