DISMAL, N. 4.
Mr.. EDTTOR :-Some time ago we
wrote an article for the Clinton CdW-
cGSiGn, in which we stated that most
of the trade in Autryville was exchang-
ing eggs for family commodities, and
that the eggs were worth only 8 cents
per dozen.
In a recent issue of the Sampson
Democrat we see someone has replied
to us, or attempted to do so, and tries
to lead the people to believe that we
tell lies, for he says that he knows full
well that eggs have ever been less than
10 cents per dozen in Autryville. Many
of our best citizens will verify my state
ment when | say they haze. We chal-
lenge him to prove, or even attempt to
prove, that our statement was not true.
Who this fellow is we do not know, as
he did not have:t the manliness to give
US his name, but from the way he
writes he must be a modern Goliath,
for he seems to take great pride in cal.
ing us little" We will admit that
we are rather diminutive, and surely
we must have touched his gigantic
frame in a very tender place if he can
feel the force of a blow rendered by
the heels of the little Third party
kicker" as he calls US. He says,
wonder If he (meaning us) ever saw
a dozen family c~ommodities?' Indeed
we have, such as he uses, and If Demo
cratic newspaper correspondents were
family commodities, we feel sure tina,
they could be had at s cents per dozen.
This great big man, this modern Coli
ath, says to us, buy you some Demo
cratic hens, little boy, if you want a
good price for your eggs" This re,
minds US Of the egg the Davidson
county man has that will lie only in
position and hat upon is smaller
end. Certainly this must be a Demo
cratic egg, for like the dear old party
it has not much to stand upon.
Your scribe does not want any Dem
ocratic hens if they lay such eggs as
were thrown at James B Weaver and
Marion Butler during the last cam
paigu. Is that why you give a good
price for Democratic eggs7 Want TO
keep EN- until the next campaign opens
do you7 Well, you may have them;
the cleveland corn bugs are as much
as we can stand Neither do we want
any Democratic hens if they are as
trifing as the ROSTERS, and we reckon
they are.
Oh, ye Democratic s~quealer," be
careful how you fan flies, and next
time send your article TO The PROGRESS,

that all parties read, even though they
seek a hiding place in the fodder loft
or behind a friendly clump of buckle
berry bushes, they read them. for

Success to all reform papers and

How Jake Bowman Met His Death at the Hands of
 Apaches.

Further particulars received this morning from the Hot Springs in So- nora where Jake Bowman was killed prove it to have been & repetition O. the manner in which Vic Wilson met his death at the hands of Evans and Sontag. Bowman and Cox had been at the Springs for about . fortnight w.,chin. for Kid. for whom . reward Of $5.OU is offered by the territory.
 On Tu-sdsy last, Cor, who had been r-conOitering for Indian siyn-, came to camp and told Bowman that he had seen . smoke up ,msll, narrow canyon. The two men at once ore pared to maSe an investigation. They went to the canyon and cautiously approached the location of the fire. | he Indians SAW them first as usual and were prspa. ed for them. With out "A moments warning, and while they were unprepare'i for any immed- late danger volley was fired at them and poor Bowman fell dead. Cox was not hi although the bullets whisiled in close proximity to his head. He r-n down the canyon and escaped, owing to the thick growth of shuObery and trees. He reached Slsughter's ranch A few miles from the Spring-, and party immediately started out, secured th. body and bronghtit across Il e line where it was buried the fpl- wing day. There were four bullet wounds in the body, one of which went through the heart.
 Bowman told friends in Bisbee before he left for the Springs that he would either get Kid or the latter would get him. 1he-e are said to he from ten to fifteen Indians in the ;'arty iudsins from the trail made by them.
 A party of fifteen men left Bi-bee yesterday afternoon tn trIng back the body. The funeral will take place in Bi.oee on Sunday, unless something unforeseen happens.
 The Mexican who brought the letter from John Slaughter to Ben Williams reached BisOee early in the morning. Instead Of taking the letter to hun he mailed 1t At the post"itce. and MT. Williams was not made aware of the killing Until afternoon when the regu- lar mail arrived and was distributed

JAKE BOWMAN
Killed by Apaches Near the San BernardiuO Hot
 Springs.
Special to the PRosPEcToR.

Special to the PRosPEcToE
 BisBEE, l :45 p. m.-A messenger from John Slaughter just arrived in town bringing the intelligence that on Tuesdsy evening last Jake Bowman was killed by Apaches near the Hot Springs below the line in Sonora.
 The above dispatch was received al 3 p. m. today.
 Jake Bowman was the candidate foI sheriff on the R, publican ticket last iaii. lie hsi been . deputy sheriff s' bisoes for ;wo years and was generally liked and respected by all who knew him. He was . fearless officer and . terror to evil doers. There are many who will believe that his death was not at the hsnds of Indians. The fact that John Slaughter says that his slayers were Apaches leaves no room for doubt on that point, for no man in the county is better qualified to report on such matters.
 This is the first heard from the rens- gsdes for several weeks. The last seen of Kid he was near Mammoth making south. They are no doubt nov on their way back.
 LATER-Ber, Alvord came in this afternoon from Bi.bee and reports that a Mexican told him just as he was leaving that s fat man had been killed at the Hot Springs. He did not know his name. Bert says that Jake and Cal C.x were canped at the Hot Springs together. He saw Jake only \ few days ago and cautioned him to l'ok out for Indians, AS they had been seen recently in the mountains near there. Bowman replied: You csmp-d there, Bert, for six weeks, and il they didn't get you don't think they will get ni-."
 Several friends of Bowman say that he and Cal Cox were at the Hot Springs waiting to get the Kid. for ~hose head . standing reward of $5.OU0 is offered by this territory. The full particulars will not bs known un- til some one arrives from the San Bei- nArdinO ranch.
 A telegram was received at the sheriff's office from Bi-b-e, asking il anyone had gone after the body. An answer was sent back that no steps had been taken 10 get the remains. rhe only methOd to get the body seems to be to bury 1t where 1t is, which has probably been done. and arrange with the Mexican authorities ior exhunIing it and bringing it back , @ R,-hee
