Platte City, Mo-, Aug. 1S.-During
the progress of a petty trial in the
circuit court here Watt Reed shot and
fatally wounded Newton VIM. Reed
is under arrest. The court room was
crowded at the time and wild scene
ensued. VIM and Reed are prominent
farmers. One had charged the other
with stealing large number Of hogs,
and in a fight that grew out Of the oc
currence the people Of Clinton county
took sides. Bad blood that resulted
was almost precipitated into an at
tack by one side or the other. Repre-
sentativeS Of the two factions crowded
the court room and made no pretense
Of covering up their show of feeling.
After the proceedings had gone on for
some time, John Cross, lawyer for
Reed. made an insulting remark about
Winn's son. Immediately the princi-
pals and spectators We're in an up
roar. VIM arose as if to strike at
Cross, when Reed drew his revolvers.
Before his arm could be arrested Reed
sent two bullets, into Winn's body, one
going through his bowels. In the ex-
citemcnt that followed Reed made his
way TO the door and was just escap-
ing when arrested. VIM in a dying
condition was carried to neighboring
house and cared for. It was some
time before the confusion subsidized,
many of the spectators taking sides
and threatening one another. VIM
cannotr ecOver. Reed is in jail, and
many of his enemies are making bad
threats against his life.
Portland, Or, Aug. 1S.-At noon to-
day the report of sey eral shots in
rapid succession were heard to come
from the office of Dr.. H. r. Holmes in
the Dekum building, Third and Wash
inSton streets. The tenants of the
building rushed in and found the pros
trate bodies of Dr. Holmes and Or.
Robert X. Aushlund. each of whom
was holding a smoking pistol in his
hand. There were no other persons
in the room. Aushlund had a hole in
his body and one in his head, another
IN his breast, and another in his right
wrist. Holmes was wounded in two
places, one ball having entered an arm
and the other the body just below the
left nipple. Aushlund was taken to
the hospital and Holmes to his resi-
dence. Aushlund's wounds will I'M
doubtedly result fatally, while the doc
tors think Holmes will recover It is
not known what was the cause Of the
shooting, but it is thought it was due
to criticism Of Holmes Of Aush-
lllnds methods Of treating a patient in
the Portland hospital, when Aushlund
called at Holmes Office to make him
retract.

THE SECOND STREET MARKET.

Stockholders Claim That the Value OF the
stalls Has Greatly DEPRECATED and Ask
for "a Reduction In Rent.
Tue stockholders Ia the Second street
market house are by no means Satisfied
with the condition Of things there, and
last evening Allen Smith, John Gibbons
and Frederick Kienle appeared as their
representatives before the committee OF
City Councils and asked to have the
ground rent they are now paying, and
which is 81 600. reduced to $500 year.
They claim that $500 would be very
reasonable sum and just and fair to both
the city and the butchers They have
already paid more than $50, 600 for rent
During the past twenty years the value
of stalls In the market has decreased
fully 30 per cent, and at the present
time many of the stalls are untenanted,
or are rented at figures which bring no
profit to the company
This Is largely Que to the fact that
butcher shops have sprung up all over
the city, aud that q msjorlty Of the
farmers who attend the street maj kets
sell meat In one form or another.
o wing to the absence OF Messrs
Dannenberg and Stats OF the committee,
no definite action was taken. and 1t was
decided to dispose OF 1t OF the session
Tonight 1t is understood that the
sentiment OF the meGbers of Council Is
favorable TO a reduction in rent
