Commissioners Of the
A KANSAS LYNCHING.

A Negro ainer Hanged by Mob Mt
Cherokee.
CHEROKEE, Kan, April 24-Fred la
man, a coal miner living with his fam
tly near the Schwab b mines, miles east
OF here, was killed Sunday night at his
house. He was awakened at midnight
by some Alabama negro coal
miners, who said that they wanted to
get in to procure whisky. Haman, who
it is said, had teen selling liquor, told
them to go away, as he had no bottles
and did not wish to open the house at
that hour.
The men outside departed but re-
turned half hour later and broke
open the door. Two negroes entered
and with drawn revolvers and razors,
began to search for money. They broke
the drawer off the sewing machine and
secured about $50.
Haman ran out in his bare feet to
get help but was shot in the throat and
ran about $50 yards and fell where he
was found an hour later dead.
warrant was sworn out for jeff
Tuggle a colored miner, charging him
with murder. He was caught at Weir
City about9 9 o'clock this morning and
brought to Cherokee.
A few minutes later Mrs. Haman, the
dead mans wife, accompanied by a
score or two of miners arrived and
when the woman was taken before the
prisoner she identified him instantly as
one of the robbers and it was all the
officers could do to keep her from as
saulting Tuggle. BY this time a large
crowd of miners had gathered and loud
threats of lynching were indulged in.
The officers made hasty preparations
to take the prisoner to Girard, but be-
fore they could get him ava. the mob
captured Tuggle after handling the Of
ficers roughly. Constable Malcolm was
thrown down and disarmed The citi-
zens generally appeared apathetic and
little attempt was made to assist the
officers
The mob marched Tuggle with a rope
around his neck about half a mile
north west of town and hanged him to a
cottonwood tree until dead.

Several Large Consignments Sent to Kan
sas for Grazing Purposes.
TOPEKA, Kan, April 24.-During the
past two weeks 5000 or 5000 head of
cattle have been shipped into Kansas
for grazing purposes from different
points in Texas. The last shipment of
range cattle at Alma, Wabaunsee coun-
ty, were consigned to Stowe Bros, the
largest firm of cattle shippers in GEN.
trat Kansas. They consisted of two
train loads of 800 head each. Next
week Stowe Bros. will receive 1, 900
head more from Higgins, Tex. They
will have to be fed several weeks, as
there is not enough pasture yet for
their sustenance Besides, several de-
structive prairie fires ahave iburned off
last years grass over thousands of
acres in Wabaunsee county. which is
now the best grazing section in the
state.
Greenwood county is also a good
grazing district George Addison, one
of the largest feeders in that region,
expects to receive 200 head of feeding
cattle from the Panhandle of Texas
within ten days They will be kept
during the summer on his fine pasture
land near Reece and Hamilton.

CAVALRY AND GOLD STEEL.
An Attack OF Troops with N Light ARTILLERY
AccOmpa nimeut.

An htthck OF with LiSnL AFLIlIeTy
Accompaniment.
If you allow a cavalry soldier to for
get the value of cold steel, and rely on
fire-action, you destroy the dash and
elan which make him formidable and
should be his characteristic. There
fore Frederick one hundred and thirty
years ago ordered his troopers always
to attack, and while he discounte-
nanced the use of carbines, gave them
the necessary support which fire lends,
by organizing a light artillery to at
tend their movements.
Napoleon has told us that Cavalry
cannot reply to fire, and can only fight
with the steel,' and fully recognizing
where lay the weakness of his horse
men, he gave them an auxiliary in the
shape of horse artillery which, SO far
from hampering their movements.
added to their boldness and enterprise
when acting independently ahead of
his vast armies. The cooperation of
the two arms was also then found to
work in another direction to the benefit
of both, for while projectiles loosen
compact formations and render the at
tack of squadrons more dangerous, the
cavalry force the scattered units to
draw together and present an easier
target for the guns Especially was
this noticeable during the pursuit of a
beaten foe. A battery. bold and well
placed, may deny a whole road to the
retreating columns, and long lengths
of train" may have to be abandoned
on the inroad of few accurately di-
rected shells Review.

TOPEKA, Kan, April 25.-Burglars
broke into the Missouri Pacific freight
depot in Topeka at an early hour yes
terday morning and attempted to blow
open the safe, but before they could
accomplish their purpose they were
surprised by Officer Capron, who or

obey the command, but instead, opened
fire on the officer. The fire was re-
turned, and bullets flew thick in the
darkness for few seconds, and then
