the following is taken:-
There has been rumor in circula-

floating debt has been paid by tolls,
that otherwise would haye been divided
among you in dividends. We think it
more desirable to apply the earnings in
this way, This debt having been paid,
we now have nothing to provide
for excsat repairs, operating and

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 9-Gov. McKiE-

THE STATE DEFIED.

The Duval Athletic Club Throws Down the
Gauntlet to Gov. Mitchell.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 9.-The
Duval Athletic club this afternoon
threw down the gauntlet to Gov.
Mitchell and the state authorities. 1t
announces that it proposes to bring
about the prize fight between Corbett
and Mitchell despite the opposition of
the governor and despite the opinion
of Acknowledgement Lamar that the
fight would be violation of the laws
of Florida.
AS may be seen from the statement
from the club, words are not in the
least minced. The club people seem to
think they have the law on their side
and that Gov. Mitchell is acting in a
tyrannical and extra-judicial manner,
and they say so in plain words.
The attorney-general's positive edict
against the fight is met by as positive
a statement from the club that the con-
test will occur.

IlIiterate Autographs,

1t is well known fact that the gen.
erals of the revolution were, many of
them, exceedingly illiterate men and
far from model letter writer's A cur
sorry view of their epistolary efforts is
sufficient to convince one that they had
as little regard for the kings English
as they had for his subjects, and that
they murdered the one while telling OF
the killing of the other. This, how
ever, detracts nothing from the value
of their autograph letters. In fact, it
is painful to note, but none the less
true, that the autograph collector is
continually paying a premium on il
literacy; for the letters of q man whose
feats of bravery entitled him to a high

Boy Assassinates Family In Ford Coun.
ty, Kan.
DODGE CITY, Kan, Jan. 9.-Thomas
Walker, a boy of 16 years, is in jail if
this city charged with one of the most
fiendish crimes ever committed in this
county of many murders-the proba BILE
assassination of three persons, one an
innocent babe, and the serious wound
ing of another.
Sunday night about o'clock farmer
named William Kindred, his wife and
child, aged Is months, and the wife's
sister were retiring, all in the same
room, at Kimbrel's home in Ford coun-
ty, about seventeen miles southwest of
this p ace. Mr. Kindred had just laid
down on the bed His wife was sitting
by the fire with the child. Suddenly
some fend fired a load of buckshot
through the south window at Mr..
Kimbrel. the entire charge taking eff
feet in his face, neck and shoulder.
Kindred fell off the bed to the floor.
His wife, with the child, and her sister,
ran to him and were bending over
him when another charge of
shot was fred, this time through
the north window, into the
group with terrible effect. Mrs. Kim.
brel was struck in the side, the child
about the head and the wife's sister in
the face. Mrs. Kindred fell with the
child to the floor, both proba bly, fatally
hurt The sister started for the stable
to get horse to go for assistance. At
the stable she met a young man named
Joseph Walker. He asked her if she
had heard the firing. She told him the
Kindred family were all killed. They
then started in different directions for
help. Both returned in a short time
with some neighbors.
1t was found that Kindred had one
eye shot out and his jugular vein was
badly torn and bleeding profusely.
The wife had an ugly wound in her
side. The child was struck with shot
about the temple. At 2 o'clock yester-
day morning a messenger came to
Dodge after DIR. Milton and Sheriff
Beeson, who at once started for the
scene of the tragedy. On the arrival of
the sheriff Mrs Kimbrel's sister ac-
cused young Walker of doing the shoot
ing. Walker lives about one and
quarter miles from the Kindred house.
Mr.. Kindred says he saw young
Walkers dogs about his house a short
time before the shooting occurred.
Walker says four men on horseback
fred at him near his house and that he
started for the Kindred house when he
heard shooting in that direction The
footprints in the ground around the
Kindred windows correspond with
those made by Walkers shoes.
Sheriff Beeson returned at noon with
young Walker in charge, and locked
him up in Jail
