Timm by an organized band of several
desperadoes. The place is half mile from
Roby.

and called for liquor. Timms, the pro-
prietor, turned to wait on them and was
struck in the mouth by revolver. This
was the signal for the shooting The room
was darkened and this fact saved Timms
life
A man called Butch" one of the in
truders fell dead, shot by his own conf
panions. George Dorsch, nephew of the
proprietor. received bullet in the abdo-
men while entering the door.

attack and wounded a bystander, when he
was shot by Timms and died shortly after.
The. other three desperadoes are badly

her hands to catch herself, throwing most
of the weight of her body upon the wrists,
both of which were fractured. Had she
not taken this means Of saving herself she
probably would have been killed. She
landed in heap at the bottom of the

was closed and when a servant opened it,
Mrs. FINDERS body rolled out on the floor.
She was unconscious.
DR.. James A. Draper was summoned

THE ARMY BILL PASSED.
1t Went Through the Reiohstag, Saturday
Afternoon, by a Vote of 20l to 1856.

Afternoon, BY vote OF SOl TO iSos
BERLIN, July 13.--At to-day's session
Of the Rcichstag, DR.. Osann, a National
Liberal, moved the adoption Of reso.
luton declaring that In consequence of
the fodder famine the proposed army
maneuyres ought not to be proceeded
with.
General Won Kaltenborp. Stachau,
Minister of War, opposed the motion.
He said that the control of the manoeu-
vres was prerogative OF the Emperor
and the House had no right to inter-
fore. He added that the Prussian
authorities, taking into account the
prevalent distress, would provide fod-
DIES magazines for the horses, and buy
cattle from the people in the suffering
districts for the use of the troops taking
part in the mannuvres.
The armies, he further said, would be
accompanied by water carts. Despite
the war minister's statement as to the
Emperor's prerogatiye, Herr Bachern
held that the Reichstag had the right to
discuss the subject, and to this view
| those present agreed.
Herr Brockman, Centrist, declared
that he was opposed to manouvres.
Herr lFrege, Conservative, said that in
his opinion limitation Of the opera
tons was necessary The discussion is
proceeding.
DISCUSSING THE ARMY BILL.
After some further discussion the
subject was dropped and the House
proceeded with the second reading Of
the Army bill.
| DIR. Lleber, Centrist, made a speech
| against the bill, but advanced no reason
against its adoption beyond those EN-.
ployed by him against the original bill
in the last Reichstag.
Chancellor Won Capriyi, who has re.
covered from his recent sickness, re-
piled to DIR. Lieber's arguments and con
cluden by asking the House to pass the
bill In the shortest time possible.
A vote was then taken on the frs
article of the bill, and it was passed by
q vote Of 1893 to 1877, a government ma
/ jority of II. Aa
Count Herbert Bismarck supported
the government. The article fixes foI
two years the peace effective basis a
479,229 men. The volunteers for tht
year are not included in this number.

Count Herbert declared that the state
ment was entirely untrue, though hi
thought it would certainly have beef
more dignited if the Reichstag hat

to vote on the Army bill.
There was, he added, no necessity TO

would be easy to complete the neces

A Late Arrival.

Mr.. EDITOR: = Through some
oversight 1 have delayed an an
swer to your inquiry in regard to
my views on the new liquor law.
1t occurs to me this law is a
huge and questionable experiment
to raise money and at the same
time satisfy the demands of those
who think no liquor should be sold
in the State.
If the law is carried out as pro-
posed it will furnish employment
for a few in each county and de-
posit in the State treasury a large
amount of what some will think
"blood money" If the prohibi-
tionists in the State are satisfied
with this bill it is evident they
never expected much from the Leg
lature, and will, perhaps, regret
the demand 10 stop the traffic that
resulted in the State itself becon-
ing q huge whiskey dealer for gain.
Yours respectfully,
H. A. SHAW.
