and Listens to Campbell's Message.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 4.-Both branches
of the general assembly were called to
order at 10 a. m, and the organization
outlined in the Republican caucus Of
Saturday effected without incident. The
senate did not seat either Iden or Gau-
mer, the contesting claimants Of the seat
for the Muskingum district, but ap-
pointed a committee to investigate the
matter. The governors message, which
is the shortest on record, was received
and read. It is as follows;

Why It Was Named nrachias.

A good many people doubtless have
wondered why Secretary Tracy named
the gunboat launched at Bath, Me-, the
Machias. Machias people know why,
and are very proud of the exploit of
their ancestors, who within few weeks
of the battle of Concord fought smart
naval engagement and eaptureda British
schooner which was blockading their
port. Tho captain of the British schooner
commanded the men of Machias to cut
down the liberty pole which they had
set up on their common. The men O:
Machias refused, and there was some
skir1nishing of an inconclusive nature.
Finally some bold spirits in the town
fitted out a sloop and attacked the
schooner, which was named the Marga.
retta. The engagement was brisk, and
the Americans succeeded in boarding
the schooner, drove her crew below and
pulled down the British colors. Machias
people claim that the Margaretta was
the first British vessel captured in the
Revolution, and their exploit is some
times called "the Lexington of the Seas"
Machias is an historical place, and if
the gunboat is handled with the old
Maehias spirit she will give a good &C.
count Of herself. -Boston Transcript

A Remarkable Stone Thrower.


1t is supposed that we have no men
nowadays who could compete on even
terms with the old archers. A man
named Uri Bailey recently died in Penn
sylvania who was worthy of place with
the old time soldiers. His skill in throw
ing stones was said to be marvellous. He
was mentally deficient, but giant phys
ically. His aim with stones at any mark
or game was as unerring as that of the
most skillful handler of the rifle. He
annually bagged scores of small game
pheasants, rabbits, quails and squirrels,
which he killed with stones.
He could kill bird on the wing or q
rabbit at full speed almost as easily as
he could kill it at rest. He had large
leather pouch attached to one side of his
coat, in which he on all occasions car
ried good supply of carefully selected
stones. An exhibition of his skin, which
was always q favorite with him, was to
set up scythe blade, edge toward him,
and at the distance of 100 feet cut
apples in halves by throwing them
against the edge of the blade.
He could almost exactly halve two
out Of every three apples he threw.
Robin Hoods great feat of skill was to
set up peeled sapling at considerable
distance and split it with an arrow. We
do not see that this is more difficult than
splitting the apple ON the scythe blade.

Minnesota Grain arswers Not Ready to
Continue the Wheat Inquiry.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 6.-The Grain Grow
ers' association has moved for further
Continuance of the wheat investigation,
which was resumed at the state capitol
before full committee after an adjourn
ment of half year. The association,
although it was willing to proceed with
the prosecution of the case last summer,
was not preparedto continue it at this
time and gave as its reason the inability
of Attorney w. W. Erwin To conduct
the case at this time. The committee
was not in position to proceed unless
there were complaints for its considera-
ton, and an adjournment was granted
until March 6. The grain growers have
given notice that they wish several days
TO complete their case. and in the mean
time Eric Olson and his assistants will
do some great hustling to collect testi-
mony. just where they will strike is
not known, as the Duluth case is practi-
cally closed, bat it Is expected that the
blow win be made at the alleged wheat
combine in Minneapolis.

OF INTEREST TO NEW TOWNS.

Decision in the Case of the Northern Pa
cific Against Territory of Warrington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. "A case involv-
ing a matter of much interest to new
towns, particularly those in the West,
was disposed of by the United States
supreme court. It was that Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company vs..
the Territory of Washington.
The town of Yakamie City In that
state was directly on the line Of the
railroad, but the railroad refused to
give it passenger and freight station,
but established one at North Yakamie,
a much smaller town. The town of
Yakamie City made application for q
writ of mandamus to compel the COM
pany to establish station there, and it
was granted. The case was brought to
the federal supreme court and in its de-
eision 1t sustains the railroad company,
holding that the charter of the company
simply authorized 1t without requiring
II to construct and maintain railroad
to certain point and that 1t cannot be
compelled by mandamus to complete or
to maintain its road to that point when
it would not be remunerative.
Justice Brewer, for Justices Field,
Harlan and himself, delivered a vigor-
aus dissenting opinion.

Botkin, but timely warning gave the
judge opportunity to escape. Sheriff
Dunn with six deputies started out to
find the ambushed. men, but ran into
the ambushers and were fired upon.
Sheriff Dunn was killed at the first ere.
Sheriff-elect Guyman was unhurt and
escaped by hiding in the rocks. The
mob hunted for him, but failed to find
him. He is now at Liberal. Deputy
Sheriff Nixon also hid in the rocks at
the mouth of a canyon and escaped
without wound. The mob numbered
forty men and the battle between the
officers and mob lasted from daybreak
to sunrise.
Origin Of the Trouble.
Since July, 1883, there has been tur-
MOL in Stevens county. The county
seat contest between Woodsdale and
Hugoton terminated then in the massa-
Gre of Sheriff Cross and his deputies by
Sam Robinson and his gang of about
twenty seven men from Hugoton. There
was an abatement of the killing then
until June % last when James Bren-
nan, of Rich field, Morton county, shot
and killed Sam Wood, of Woodsdale,
the acknowledged leader of the Woods
dale faction. This killing occurred in
front Of the little church in Hugoton,
Judge Theodosus Botkin having con-
verted the church into a court room
where the June term of the Stevens
county district court was being held.
Brennan was arrested and after two at
tempts to give him trial on the charge
of murder he was taken back to the
jail at Hutchinson to await the third
and last attempt to secure jury this
month. This new killing increases the
number of men slaughtered in the coun-
ties of Southwestern Kansas to about
twelve, not taking into account the
famous Leoti- Coronado county seat
fight in Wichita county. The direct
cause of the projected attack on Judge
Botkin is the fact that ever since the
feud began his sympathies have been
with Hugoton, though his homo is at
Springfield, in Seward county, forty
miles away. ~
