morning, and Frank Hauk is fugl-

BILE originated is not certain, but 1t is
stated OH good authority that the muir
der was the result of Il quarrel Mon
day between Uaggarty and Ilauk in
which uaggarty got the worst of it.
He prevailed upon his friend, Jack
Murphy, to accompany him TO the
saloon of Cogin & Johnson, known as
the White Front saloon, on Central

Uauk who acts as bartender Liquor
was drank freely and hot words pass

took a revolver fIOm beneath the bar

bullet taking effect in the head, his

content with this Hank fired again,
this time at Murphy, the ball pene-
trating his abdomen and caused in

morning at $40. After the the shoot

described as about 50 years of age,

The government exercises great care

CHRISTMAS In CONGRESS.
THE CAPITOL PRESENTS A SCENE
OF DESOLATION.
Representatives sayers and Dookery

Representatives seyers and Dockery
the Only Members Found on the
House Side-The Latter Busy Study
ing Questions of Internal Revenue
Tazation-No One on the Senate side.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-On tie House
side OF the capitol this morning there was a
scene Of desolation. The hegira OF mem
bars began some days ago, and to-day but
half dozen representatives were In the
chamber engaged in answering their cor
respondeuce. Otherwise the hall was de-
serted, except when the ubiquitous news
paper man entered it search of an item
which he was not destined to find, or when
few noisy pages chased one another up
and down the aisle. In the room OF the
committee on appropriations MIR. Savers Of
Texas was busily engaged, with the assist
ancs OF clerk making up the sundry civil
appropriation bill for report TO the full
committee. Besides the clerk no one was
In the room but Mr.. Dockery of Missouri.
CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.
He was engaged in studying questions
relative TO the internal revenue taxation.
He stated that the investigation as to the
condition of the treasury would be carried
on solely by the ways aud means committee.
aud that the appropriations committee
would not interfere, although he expressed
his belief that it was the proper committee
TO conduct the inquiry. He predicted that
little legislation would be enacted this ses-
sion outside of the regular appropriation
bills, all of which were In an unusual con-
dition OF forwardness. Personally, he pre-
fsrred that an extra session should not be
called before September. He thought this
the wisest course unless il could be agreed
that the session called in March would be
merely for the organization of the HOUSE.
ON THE SENATE SIDE.
On the Senate side there was an aspect of
complete evacuation and assertion, even
more striking than that of the House. The
chamber was as quiet as cemetery, not a
page fitting about, nor a single senator
was TO be seen. The doorkeepers we're all
absent from their posts, and every commit
tee room was locked, and all business sus-
pended In the clerks Office. Senator
Chandler was the only senator who appeared
during the day, and after attending
70 some matters relating TO immigration,
he left the capitol. He has not yet sp-
pointed the sub committee of senators to
confer with the treasury officials relative 60
the swo immigration bills reported yestsr~
day to the Senate and House, but will con-
slider the matter during the recess and
probably announce it son,s time next week.

composed Of twelve of shs best
citizens. The verdict reads:
We. the jury, find that ]. J. Worsham came
to his death BY gunshot wounds inflicted by

The jury sat with closed doors but enough
is known TO warrant the publication that
the evidence was very damaging

showing that the Victim was shot from two
directions, besides a responsible witness
swearing that he saw both defendants
shoot This disproves the statsment made
by the father, J. B. Hlnkle. that he alone
did the killing. The people are a unit in

Judge Clarke refused TO grant this request,
