Good Work of Marshal Nix.

United States Marshal Nix has sent
circular letter to al deputies urging
them to a careful performance OF their
duties They are not to TAX cogni-
zance of trivial cases, and are warned
that n continued use of intoxicants to
excess will be cause for removal. When
parties are found who attempt to pass
themselves off as deputies without
authority they should be arrested. He
warns deputies of the habit of con-
tra"ting small debts without paying
them, and that when it is necessary to
go in DEBT, the account should be paid
as soon as that trip is completed. Mr..
Nix is determined to raise the deputy
marshal service in the eyes of the peo-
ple and should be sustained in his eff
forts. -Hennessey Clipper.

MURDER IN K COUNTY
KILLED ON A CLAIM SIX MILES
SOUTH OF NEWKIRK.
ROBBERY, NO DOUBT, THE MOTIVE
Cbsnce for Ills Life Volley Poured
. Into His House at Night Only
Had Nine Dollars.
Newkirk. o. r., March II, 1894.

Newkirk. O. T., March II. 1891
A cold bloode murder took place
on Nmestead claim six miles north
of Newkirlx last night about 0 o'clock,
the victim being Frank Williams a
man about 81 years Of age formerly
of Fort heridan, Ills.
1t was evidently an attempt at rob
berry, as the victim of the foul deed
was neither homestea1er or contest
ant, but was quietly living with an
other man named David Till emen by
permission, in 3gh on the home
stead of a gentleman.
There were at least three, Tillemen
thinks, in the party. The dead man
was shot through the head, the ball, a
~ calibre Winchester, entering near
the temple on the right side and rang
ing down came out just back of the
ear on the left Frank Tillcmen who
was seated in the room says the door
was pushed open and a gun fred from
there while pistol was showed
through pane Of glass in the window
AND fred lie says he then sprang to
his feet and grabbed gun in the
house aud fred in the dark at the
robbers but does not know whether
he hit any one or not The Williams
then left. Several ST lis were found
near the house, and n>.r by it was
found next morning where horse
and buggy had stood Dir. J. :. Biggs,
coroner of Il county, and a jury held
an inquest over the body to-day, but
failed to develop any clew to the muir
derers- lie says it was the Winchester
ball fred through the door that did
the work.
There have been several hold-ups in
the ,ountry lately, and it is believed
regularly organized baud have their
headquart srs some where in this sec.
ton.
The suspicion that robbery was tie
motive is confirmed by the fact that
the murdered man had been expe ting
n remittance of $500 for several days.
However ne had not yet received it
and at the time of his death had on
his person only about 80.

the country delegates who had brought
their wives and daughters with them
could not have them attend the sessions of
the convention without their being brought
in contact with the riff-raff of the city
Mr.. Jackson's remarks were not appre-
ciated by those in the galleries. They OBJ
jected to being termed riff-raff, and Jac
son was greeted with a storm of boots and
Kisses.
Then came a holly contested argument
as to whether resolutions should be read
before the convention before they are re-
ferred to the committee on platform and
resolutions. Mr.. McEnerney thought that
much valuable time could be saved by this
mode of procedure. and the resolution
making crank would be headed off. Sew
erai delegates spoke for and against the
motion. many being Of the opinion that it
would be best to have the committee pass
upon sll that came up in the shape OF
resolutions.
An amendment was offered that the
resolutions be read and then referred to
the committee.

which he wanted read, made a fight to

that never an audience took more interes,

they were In session that would be likely
to interest any one who was not wrapped
up In affairs political.
But apparently each one OF the hun
dreds that throDged the galleries and
packed themselves so close together that a
ballot could hardly have been squeezed
between them had personal feeling re-
garding every move made by those whose
business it is to place Democratic State
ticket in the political field.
Every feature Of the proceedings was
watched as closely as If it was a scene in
an intensely interesting drama. and ex-
pressions of approval or disapproval were
not stinted.
The doors of the elevator were opened

vantageous location where all that took
place would be seen. For a wonder there
was large number of delegates around
when the doors were opened. The major
ity of these were country delegates, and il
was whispered around that many had not
retired the night before, but had been
holding caucuses and private cOnven tons
of their own in certain downtown resorts.
where the swing;ng-doOrs are always
ready to yawn invitingly to the thirsty
wayfarer of the night with jingle in his
pocket. AIl'the delegates are supposed to
have a jingle, and that is how some of
them came to be up all night dallying with
friends before the bar.
By 10 o'clock all the delegations were in
their places and waiting for the appear
ance of Chairman Del Vale to call them
to order. 1t was nearly half an hour later
when the popular presider walked to the
front of the stage and raped with his
gsvel upon the stand.
The proceedings opened up lively from
the start over the proposition of having
the convention held in more commodious
and suitable quarters than the theater.
The chairman called for the report of
the committee that had been appointed at
Tuesdays session 10 consider the matter
of getting another hall.
Delegate Garret MeEnerney submitted
report of what he termed the majority of
the committee in which il was shown that
the committee had seen 10 it that accom-
mOd1tioas had been made for seating all
the delegates in proper manner. Those
who could not get seats in the body of the
theater would have them on the stage .
The practice of sending out cards by
members of the convention to bring in
other friends was condemned by the COM
mittee. 1t was urged in the report that
the convention remain where it was, as
