Cancels a Debt by Killing j. P. Brown
Near Mckinney, Ky.
MCKINNEY, KY, Feb. 1O.-Another
bloody murder was Friday morning
added to the criminal records of Lin
coin county. A. c. Dunn, a farmer
living in the suburbs of this place, shot
and killed j. P. Brown, who was a
tenant on his farm.
Brown had rented a portion of Dunn's
farm, but had become dissatisfied with
his bargain and sold back to Dunn his
contract for 800, which was to have
been paid some days ago.
Thursday Dunn told Brown to come
to his house Friday morning, and he
would settle the debt. Brown went
and received the contents of double
barreled shotgun in his head just be-
fore he entered Dunn's yard.
Browns real name is Todd, but he
has lived here for many years under his
assumed name. He was hard laborer,
but leaves large family in destitute
condition. Dunn gave himself up and
was lodged in Jail at Stanford.

of incendiary fires which has prevailed

LONDON, Feb. 1o.-The decisive end
of Anarchist Vaillants career by the
guillotine process on Monday was not
SO effective in sitting the activity of
his living confreres as the French gov
ernment hoped it would be. The exc
cution of the venturesome enemy of
society seems to have stirred up the
''reds" all over Europe, and here in
nished any forcible manifestation of
their displeasure at the commendable
precipitancy of the government in cut
ting off M. Vaillaint's head, it is true,
but they have not permitted the
authorities to imagine for an instant
that they have given up their unequal
warfare against social evils, as they
view them.
The Partisan confreres of Valiant
evidenced their belief in his creed by
loading his tomb with flowers and hold
ing meetings, at which the most ez-
travagant forms of praise and adula-
tion Of valiant were conspicuous feat
ures. valiant was Landed as martyr,
and the petit bourgeoisie, or citizens of
the reputable and prosperous middle
class, who have become the particular
prey of anarchists, were denounced in
scathing terms as being responsible for
all laws and institutions
Investigations by the police have re-
vealed the presence in Paris of great
many enthusiasts of the rattle Drained
type of which Valiant was an excel
lent example and an attempt to emu
late his desperate deed would not be
surprising. The police are extremely
active in their efforts to. destroy ev-
cry possible opportunity for them to
do so, but they have a herculean task
before them, as they are learning in at
tempting to suppress the dangerous
horde of bomb-throwers and dynamite
ers. A socialist newspaper asserts that
there are more anarchists in Paris to-
; day than there have ever been in it's
history, and declares they are thor
oughly organized to wage persistent
and systematic warfare upon society.
y In contrast to this statement is re-
port from Rome that Crispi's soldiers in
Sicily have effectually stamped out the

At a meeting of several thousand idle

the speeches were of pronounced an

HousToN, Tex, Feb 10. 1O.-Thursday
night at the high bridge over White
Oak Bayou, rain-wreckers removed the
rails and fish-plates on the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railroad. When the

rolled down the bank, followed by the
smoker, which landed on top of them.
The wreck presented frightful ap-
pearance.
Joe Elliott, brakeman, was sent
back to flag a freight train which was
soon due. He had not proceeded a
hundred yards when volley from am
bush was fred upon him. Four bullets
took effect in his body.
The crew in the meantime, aided by
passengers, were at work extricating
the men buried in the wrecked cars,
and feared to go to the fagman's res
cue. He, however, crawled, bleeding
and wounded. back to the train, and
now lies dying.
In the mail car was Lou Morris, the
agent, badly bruised and with several
bones broken. His first thought was
of his mail, and he requested the re-
porter to go by the post Office and not
ify them that he had a big run of reg
listers.

In the course of his walk he was brought
