THE ROYAL DEATH BED
LAST MOMENTS OF COMTE DE
PARIS WE'RE PAINLESS.
Touching Farewells From the
Uncrowned King of France
to His Family.

LONDON. Sept. S.-The death of the
Comte de Paris occurred this morning
at 9 O'Clock at Stowe house. The death
scene was one of quiet and peace on the
part Of the count and of profound emo
tioD to the circle of relatives about his
bedside. During the night the comte
several times appeared to have passed
away, so feeble was his pulse. and so
deathly his pallor. Dr.. Rscomier had
the most extreme difficulty in feeling
the light beats of the heart, and the
weakness of the distinguished sufferer
during his last hours was so great that
he was unable to speak. although he
succeeded in making it apparent that
he desired to utter few more words of
farewell to those around him. The
touching scenes which were witnessed
at the Stowe house Thursday night,
when the dying man was not expected
to live until Friday morning. were re-
peated last evening. The family and
the old servants of the family were all
in attendance, and toeach one the head
of the royal house of France feebly said
few additional kind words of farewell,
after WHICH the family knelt at his bed
side and offered up heartfelt prayers
for the dying. He rarely, however, re-
ferred to his approaching death, always
trying to soothe the sorrows Of those
around him.
Now and then deep sigh would es-
cape from the sufferer, and he would
mutter the phrase oft repeated during
the past week, ,"C'eSt bien long," equiv
alent to saying he was weary of waiting
for death, and that his dread majesty
was very slow in coming to his relief.
This phrase was characteristic OF the
last illness of the Comte de Paris. Death
had marked him beyond hope for many
days past, but the sick man fingered on,
hour after hour, day after day. the light
of life f1ickeriUg fainter every moment,
and his life went out so gently indeed
that some time elapsed before the fatal
verdict was rendered by the attending
physicians. Early in the night his mind
seemed to be perfectly clear. and he
had no trouble in recognizing all pres
ent. to whom he was ever suggesting in
new form his words uttered when the
family gathered at his bedside for the
last time. 1t was then believed, Thurs
day evening last.

Indiana Farmers Combine Against
Thieves and Outlaws.
KILL ONE OF THE ROBBERS
John Dalton Refused to Surrender to a
Posse OF Farmers and Is Shot Dead
in His Tracks

N~SADLhhAs Ahus1 n4dICu lJ.-fOI many
months the people in and around
Mulberry, have been greatly suffering
from the depredations of a gang of
thieves, which led the farmers and
townsmen to form an organization
which they called the Mulberry Detec-
tive Association. The association has
accomplished much good as protection
TO property and has been the means of
sending several thieves to prison. w.
F. johnson and his family left home
day or two ago to attend a funeral.
During their absence thieves broke into
the house, about a mile and a half from
Mulberry, and carried away few dol
lars in cash, a revolver and a quantity
of meat, flour and other provisions.
Johnson's suspicious at once rested
on Dalton as the thief, and he had rea-
son to believe that Dalton had con
cealed his plumber somewhere in the
vicinity and would call for it. The for
mer called a meeting of the members of
the association living near by and it
was decided to watch Dalton's house for
the appearance of the thief with his
plumber.
Accordingly members to the number
of fifteen or more concealed themselves
at various points about Dalton's house
and awaited developments. They had
not long to wait. AT IL o'clock two men
burdened with the stolen goods ap-
preached the Dalton house. The cap.
tain of the thief-catchers gave the com
mand to halt and surrender, but instead
one of the thieves dropped his load and
beat retreat, while the other drew a
revolver and showed fight. The next
instant shot was fred and John Dali
ton lay dead by his plumber, bored
through by a bullet from one of the
vigilante's rifles. Who fred the fatal
shot is not known, and the members of
the association refuse at present to d.
vulge his name.
The dead man was a member of a gang
of thieves which has for several years
robbed the community and the country
about and it was for protection against
these men that the f-rmers organized
their association. The association at
whose hands Dalton met his death is
said to have an organization extending
through Clinton, Montgomery, Boone
and surrounding counties, and assumes
to itself the duties which are supposed
to devolve on county sheriffs, or at least
seems to have done so in this case. 1t
is not likely that anyone will ever be
punished for the killing of Dalton, as
the association has among its member
ship most of the farmers of wealth and
influence in the district through which
it extends. The members of the asso-
citation are very reticent about the de.
tails of the late occurrence, and it is
not known what action the officers OF
the law will take.
