ing Judge Parker overruled the
motion for new trial in the case of
Famous Smith convicted of murder

When asked by the judge whether
he had anything to say why SEN
tence should not be passed Smith
said that he had killed Gentry the
man for whose murder he was con-
victed, in selfdetence; that he was
justified in what he had done; tn at
when man was assaulted by an
othcr with deadly weapon be
thought the assaulted person had a
right to defend himself.

Cherokee Indian. He was con-
victed of killing James Gentry, in
1881. Since which time he has been
on u scout. Smith and Gentry

time. On the day Gentry was kill

Horrible Death Of a Sixteen Year Old
Girl In the st. Francis Bottoms.

Horrible Death Of a Sixteen -Year-Old
Girl In the st. Francis Bottoms.
The Arkansas Democrat of the
9Th inst, tells the following sad
story: s r.5
Minnie Hightower, the 16-year-
old daughter of Hiram Hightower,
trapper and fisherman who lives
on Horseshoe Lake, in the st. Fran
els bottoms, Arkansas, was killed
by moecasin snakes on Friday
last in singularly horrible man
ner. The story was told yesterday
by man who saw her body. The
moccasin snake looses it vision al
most entirely during the month of
August, just before it sheds it's skin.
During it's blindness the reptile
is very vicious and strikes at
every noise. At other times it is
timid reptile, fleeing from man,
and is therefore practically harm
less. When blind, however, it
seems to app1 eciate its inability
to make an intelligent retreat and,
guided by its hearing, will advance
on its enemy. Horseshoe Lake is
famous tor the number of snakes
to be found in it's waters along its
banks. Miss Hightower had kill
ed hundreds of the reptiles during
her lite, most Of which was spent
on and near the lake, and had lit
tie fear of them. On Friday morn
ing she padded her canoe to a
drift of logs in the middle of the
lake for the purpose of fishing.
There was no one at home but her
brother, aged 6 years, Hightower
having gone to the head of the lake
with the only other boat. When
Hightower returned at, noon he
found the boy running up and down
the shore of the lake crying. The
child said Minnie got ON the DRIFT
and fished for a few minutes, then
began to. beat something with the
pole and scream. Then she fell
down. Hightower looked toward
the drift and could see his daught-
er's body. He padded quickly to
the island of logs, which is not
more than 100 yards from the
bank. The sight that met his eyes
troze the blood IN his veins. Ly-
ing on the logs was the girl dead
and swollen and discolored almost
beyond recognition. Hightower
counted seven large moccasin
snakes coiled around the body.
She was baretooted and the marks
of the serpents' tangs were on her
feet and legs and face and neck.
1t was apparent that the girl had
found colony of snakes on the
DRIFT pile and that while she was
killing one others had bitten her
on the feet. She tainted from
pain and fright and the reptiles
sank their fangs in her face and
neck. She probably lived an hour,
but it is doubtful ifshe ever recov-
cred consciousness. The snakes
showed no disposition to retreat
when the agonized father approach
ed. They coiled and struck at him
as soon as he set toot on the logs.
He dispatched two with his paddle,
then as the remaining five did not
retreat he got long pole and
thyashed them to death. 1ttook
him nearly an hour to recover the
body of his child from the snake
infested drift pile.

ON DWYER's TRAIL.
Bookmaker Delacy Springs al
Old Law on the THURMAN.

Bookmaker DeIacy Springs an
Old Law on the THURMAN.
NEW YORK, April 15.-Peter Delacy,
the well-known pool-room keeper, and
his counsel, M. J. Stein, assisted by the
Law and Order Society of Union Coun-
ty, New Jersey, have raked up an old
law of 1874 which makes all sorts of
betting come under the head of lottery
gambling. Under that law, as it was
framed, both civil and criminal action
could be brought by any citizen
the law was amended so that criminal
prosecutions could not be made under
it, but the civil clause of the act
still remains in force, although
until now it never has been tested, ex-
cepting in a few cases against gambling
in Ocean county. Delacy thus hopes to
make legal matters so hot for the Eliza
beth race track and M. +. Dwyer that
the Elizabeth meeting will have to be
stopped. Delacy and his allies rolled
up no less than sS52,0O0 in suits against
G. f. Dwyer today. This is par
ticularly embarrassing, because the
law has been interpreted by the lower
courts. bonds to double the amount of
the suit must be given. Therefore. UNI
der the suits made public today, Mr..
Dwyer and his racing associates will
have to pony up 81, 704, 900, and, what is
worse still, that aggregate will be
3welled by prosecutions of the same
character. The same fight will be made
against Monmouth Park, but, as Gut
tenburg is at peace with De Lacey, 1t
will not be mOleSted.

A RISING ARTIST.
Gilbert Munger and the Partisan
Reputation He En-
joys.
His Pictures Sold Before the
Canvas Has Been
Touched.

r. C. Munger. the well-known music man
of this city, has received information that
his brother Gilbert had sailed from South
ampton on the Normannia on April 6, and
is probably in New York, whence
he will shortly come to St. Paul.
Gilbert Munger is an artist of great prom
inence in Paris, though his paintings are
better known in England, where they have
been sold before the canvas was touched by
him. On this account he has not been rep
resented in the salon, though his best work
says recent Paris paper is remarkable
one. From his earliest years he showed
q disposition to become an artist, but like
many another youthful aspfrant he found
the lack of masters of any note to teach
him in the United States. He found that
the majority of teachers there were men
who were themselves indifferent painters.
That being so, after having had some expe-
rience in an engravers office, he did what
many a good artist has done before him He
started out to teach himself. and he sought
as master nature. How we'll he succeeded
is shown by the call which there is for his
pictures. In recognition Of his talents Mr..
Munger has had decorations bestowed upon
him by seven or eight countries. and is an
honorary member of a number of foreign art
clubs.
The greatest compliment that can be paid
to an artist was one bestowed upon Mr.. Mum
ger few days ago by gentleman who has
an extensive knowledge of art. He said to
him: "Mr. Munger. there is one thing can
tell you. and that is that your pictures do not
resemble those of any other artist of the pres
ent day. In truth, this is the keynote of
Mr. Munger and his pictures. He is
original, and it is Munger and no
one else. Maybe this is the effect of
never having had a master. Perhaps it IS
that he follows a mode not usual, in painting
his pictures direct from nature, and even flu
ishing them very closely from nature. He
until it is finished and then he goes on to
the next. He takes a great deal of time to
find compositions which will make good

picture. and he pays careful attention to the
time of DAY most suitable to give poetic effect
to a peculiar style of scenery.
He follows the old BarbaZon school, and at
the same time his pictures have in turn been
compared to those Of Rousseau, Daubigny,
Diaz and so forth. When you ask Mr.. Munger
how it is that his works are so like one or
other of these artists, he will tell you that
they are not really like but that people are
apt to make the mistake, because he works
on the same ground that those artists prob
ably did.
Mr.. Munger believes in the Importance of
water figuring in landscape. for. as he says,
it reflects the trees and the clouds so beauti-
fully. Thus it is that we see water in nearly
all his pieces. Next to the last-mentioned
picture, on the easels, is another simple, and
yet rich and original landscape. formed of
just clumb of beech trees. pool of water
very dark grass, with background gradually
lighting up in tints.
The third is an arch of trees through
which we see an effect Of autumn tints on
the trees beyond. Underneath the arch Of
trees, pool of water. There are several
other works now on the easels, forming to-
gether, very good collection.
In addition TO the ordinary landscapes he
is very fond of river pieces. and he has taken
pictures of the Seine twenty times between
Reuil and Bougival, fifteen times at Poissy,
and he has pretty we'll covered the Disc be-
tween Contains and Compiegne.

signed the post Of captain 70 accept that

The election of a new captain pro-
duced animated discussion, the issue
being that of teaching the young idea
how to shoot" as against continuing the
old hands in office, But as 1t soon be-
came evident that by the constitution
of the association the duties OF the cap
tain were to act under the orders OF the
commodore, the argument in favor OF
young man for captain carried the day,
and Carl Taylor was elected all but
unanimously.
The election of regatta committee
resulted in favor of Messrs. s. Z. Stick
ney. James Nj. Welch, Harry L. Drake.
The scope and sphere of duties OF the
house committee were enlarged and the
title of the committee broadened out to

Its membership is composed of male
descendants of ancestors, who in the
military, naval, marine or in the official
service of any one of the original colo
MES or states, or of the national govern
ment representing or composed of those
colonies or states, assisted in establish
ing American independence during the
War of the Revolution. between the nth
day of April, IT'S, when hostilities COM
menced. and the 10Th day of April, 1888,
when they were ordered to cease.
1t requires authority for each act of
service of ancestors: it does not accept
cyclopedias, genealogical works, or
town OF county histOries-eXcept such
as contain rosters-as authorities for
service. 1t accepts the official records
of the several states, and of the United
States departments of war, Of the navy,
of the state, and of the bureau of pen
siOns.
In pursuing these conservative lines
and relying upon quality, not quantity,
this society is growing largely in all
quarters, and has successful and thriv-
ing societies in New York, Pennsyl-
vania. District of Columbia. Iowa New

only right that the descendants of

CHICAGO, April I5.-It would seem
that cycling enthusiasts have gathered
all their strength for one grand outburst
during the international tournament
which is TO be given here in August.
The best men in the world, it is be-
lieved, will be drawn in competition,
and there is talk that the mile record
will 90 as low as 80. Information was
obtained today that it is the expectation
of those charged with the preparations
for the meeting that at least 10000 peo-
pie will be in attendance each day.
The meeting will last for week,
beginning Aug. z. The arrangements
are in the hands of the League
of American Wheelmen, which body
receives the active cooperation of the
American member and president of the
international union. This, it is said, is
the first time in the history of cycling
that international races worthy of the
name will be held. After the Chicago
meeting many of the racing men will
make circuit of the country, taking in
first the large cities of the West and
then travelling through the racing CEN
tiers of the East.

frankie McHugh Finds Solly
Smith q Hard Proposition.
CHICAGO, April 15.-It is probably a
lucky thing for frankie McHugh that
the police interfered at the end of the
third round in his six-round go with
Solly Smith at the Second regi-
ment armory. The Californian did not
have an opportunity to show the 1000
people present what he could do at any
part of the contest. McHugh delivered
but two blows, and they had little or no
effect. He politely dropped to his
knees to avoid Smiths vicious
rushes and would not accept chances Of
a counter when he had an opening. In
the third round Smith rushed his man
twice, and the last time landing his
left and right on McHugh's jaw,
knocking him down McHugh was
very weak when he got up, just
at the close of the round, and it
was plainly evident that he could not
last through another round. But the
authorities came to the rescue and pro-
