If for fatally shooting Mrs. Jesse p. Pay
ton at her home near Muscotah, and fir
ing three bullets into the body Of Leon
ard Colman. the hired man.
Mutt stopped at the Payton residence
yesterday en- route home from Horton.
Mr.. and Mrs. Payton formerly lived on
Nuts farm and kept house for him Mr.
Payton was not at home, but Colman
was in the room. After supper Mutt rose
to go, hestitated q moment, pulled a pis-
tol and began firing at Mrs. Payton The
first shot struck her in the arm, and the
next in the back of the head, the ball
coming out In front through the jawbone.
Colman sprang at Mutt. receiving a bullet
in his arm and another in his forehead
that glanced so as TO pass around the
outside Of the ssuu. The men grappied
and Colman received another shot in the
side before he got Mutt down, and the five
chambers of the revolver were emptied.
Colman called to Mrs. Payton to hand
him a stick OF stove wood. Mrs Pay
ton, who was still conscious, crawled to
Colman with an ak. The plucxy hired
man beat Mutt over the head with the
fiat side until he was insensible.
Coleman ran to the neighbors and Sc
cured assistance. Mutt was bound hand
and foot, and Mrs. Payton and Colman
lost consciousness. The latter will recover,
but Mrs. Payton's injuries are said to be
fatal. Nuts head and face were beaten
badly, but he is not dangerously injured.
He was able to see his wife and child to-
day. The motive for the crime is not
known. The hired man says there was not
a word said during Nuts fight that would
give a clue to the motive.
James Mutt came to Atchison county
about 10 years ago shortly after he had
killed Lyman Dukes, a member of the leg
islature in Uniontown, Pa, and was ac-
quilted. Dukes had slandered Nuts sis
ter, shot his father and then, it is alleged,
bribed the jury and was acquitted.

of that movement. In an address before
them by Rev. 7. II. Malone, of Denver,
one of the best single tax writers in the
country and editor of the Colorado
Catholic, the speaker stated that Mon
signor Satolli is Il firm believer in the
George theory of taxation. There have
been rumors to that effect before, but as
the archbishop has never publicly pro-
claimed himself follower of the MOTTO
equal rights for all and special privileges
for none, there were soma doubts of his
position. Another recent recruit is

An ordinance requiring children to be
off the streets and at home by o'clock
at night, passed by the Saltwater, Min
nesota, council, has gone into effect.
The proposition was favored by numer-
Gus business men who had been much
annoyed by unruly boys who had com
mitted deprcdations about town after
dark. The ordinance provides that
every night at 0 o'clock the bell on the
engine house shall be rung, and that all
children under 1G years then on the
streets shall Immediately 90 home. The
plan has worked well from the start, the
only opposition coming from the children
themselves.
