A Tragedy at Brookfield.

Bill Howard, COL, of Meadville.
and James Henry, a white man liv-
ing near Marceline, while shooting
craps in box car, at Brookfield,
last Friday, got into a dispute over
how much Henry "had in Howard's
BILL" when a fight ensued, resulting
in Howard's stabbing Henry in the
back with a knife, and Henry's
shooting Howard in the neck with a
32-calibre revolver, the ball enter
ing the left side OF the windpipe and
severing the iugular vein. Both
wounds are serious, and it is be-
lieved the negro will die.
Howard and Henry are hard
cases, the former having served a
term in the penitentiary for shoot
ing a negro by the name OF Spencer
Wheeler, while Henry is well known
in Charlton county having been sent
to the Boonvillc Reform school for
three years at the January, 1889.
term of circuit court, at Keytesville.
for taking part in burglarizing
Anderson & Walters store, at West
Vile, in December, 1888.
He has also figured in other crimes
in this county, but had been less
conspicuous for his evil ways since
his return from the Boonville Re-
form school, but has again come into
notoriety on account of the tragedy
in which he took part last Friday.

A Mean Trick.

Last Saturday evening John ID.
Drew, of near Pee Dee, and
Hamp Drew, Johns brother, and
Frank Gamble, who live four miles
northeast OF Keytesville, all oil whom
were more or less in q state OF intox-
ication, got into a rig, a single bug
gy, owned by Martin Ulrich, OF near
Salisbury, which was hitched TO a
rack, near the Methodist church, in
Keytesville, and drove to a point
near Pee Dee, for the alleged purpose
OF taking John ID. Drew home. From
there Hamp Drew and Gamble drove
back home.
The rig was found about 3 O'Clock
Sunday morning near VIM. Tiller-
sons, four miles northeast OF Key
tesville, where it had been abandon
ed. The horse, il Is said, showed
signs OF not only having been driven
hard, but OF having also been bru-
tally beaten.
Ulricb, the owner OF the horse and
buggy. came to Keytesville on Mon
day and swore out q warrant before
Justice DeMoss for the arrest OF the
two Drews and Gamble, all OF whom
were arrested by Constable +. Nj.
Veatch, Monday afternoon.
On being taken before Justice De-
Nose, John d. Drew gave bond in the
sum Of 800, but Hamp Drew and
Gamble failed to give bond for the
came amount.
Their attorney, Ed. 7. Miller, how
ever, asked for and obtained a change
of venue for all three OF the defen-
dants to Justice Singleton's court,
and before whom Hamp Drew and
Gamble succeeded in giving bond for
their appearance for trial on Friday,
August 23rd.
The offense OF which they are
charged is that OF using another
mans vehicle without his consent
and IL they are found guilty we hope
they will be punished to the full ex'
tent OF the law.

that for that reason the silver dollar
would fairly have about 16 times as many
grains as the gold dollar. l further stated
to this reporter that we thought the real
fight was not over the ratio at all, but for
bimetaIism-over the question whether silver
and geld should be "eoined without discrimi-
nation against either METAL" that We had
Understood this clause in the platform Of
1892 to mean the free and unlimited coinage
Of both metals, but instead the coinage OF
silver had been altogether stopped. and that
in my opinion the real nght was as to vheth-
or IL would be coined at any ratio; that so
far NJ could zee the position Of the gold
men logically required them to support the
present monstary system without any
change. and that In eontradistinetion to
this the position OF the "hard msney'' men,
now called free silvsritss." was to get the
financial system down to q purely gold and
silver basis
1892 the reporter at once made reference to
the parity clause Of that platform. l
stated that understood parity" to mean
getting together. That II the ratio was to
be changed by changing the sire Of one Of
the coins it would be maniiestly Unfair that
all the change should be in the gold dollar;
that in my opinion the present disparity be-
tween the bullion value OF the coins, was due
more to the appreciation in the value Of gold
than to depreciation In the value Of silver;
that the silver dollar. which IN 1872 had
been made the unit" had never been
changed in the lumber Of its grains. but had
always had al Ia grains. while the gold
dollar which at the first contained 23.95
grains was in ] s34 lsssened In sire until II
was made TO contain 23.2 grains. and thus
the ratio was changed from 10 ~ to to
l6 TO 1, the change being made by decrsas
ing the sire Of the gold dollar. and II the gold
men were willing to change the ratio again
by lessening the sire OF the gold dollar that
in my opinion. the free eoinsgists would not
object. For instance. IL the gold dollar wns
made to contain 1856 grains. the ratio
would thoreby be changed from Is to l e
20 to 1. and the silver dollar would hav,
Just twenty times as many grains as th,
gold dollar. though IL still contained 3T1.
IL grains. But the gold men have showr
no willingness to make my such change, oi
any change. in the size of the gold coin
They want all the change to be IN the sire o
the silver dollar, so they cla,nn. The rea
truth Is. as I see il, they do not want an!
more coinage of silver at any ratio. hav
made this statement frequently IN the Bruins
wicker. and my observation is that il is fai
and Just In this connection let me sugges
to all free coinage men that this is not 1
time to be nagging and higling ut each 9th
er. We have q tremendous fight before Us
one that will command oil our strength sn'
best talents. We cannot nfford to b
wasting our energies on each other. be
lieve II we have free coinage Mt oil il must b
at the ratio OF 16 to !. Very Truly.

Wake Horyford, of the Cherokee
nation, 1. T., is in Keytesville visit
ing friends and relatives. Wake is a
nephew of Mesdames Ward, CASTOR
and HALEY, and vent to the Chero-
kee nation some ten years ago with
his mother, Mrs. Tibbie Heryford,
who was raised near Keytesville.
Wake has nearly reached his 21st
mile post and Is a fine-looking
young man. His sister, Miss Lena,
preceded him to the nation and mar
ried an extensive land owner among
the Cherokees. Wake went there
young enough to be registered as a
land claimant and has a farm
allotted to him from which he will
begin to rel talize a benefit within five
years, five years OF the limitation
having alrendy expired. He is well
pleased with the country, and thinks
it a good place for a young man just
beginning to make his way in the
world. DIR. j. D. Gillian, a son oI
"Uncle Jim" Gillian, three miles

TayIors Denied a New Trial.

The case of the Taylor brothers,
on a motion for a new trial, was ar
gued before Judge Rucker, at Car
rollton, several days of last week.
There were about 80 reasons filed by
the defense as grounds for new
trial, and about as many by the
state to show why new rialshould
not be granted. After giving both
sides a patient hearing, Judge Ruck-
er finally overruled the motion for q
new trial and sentenced the Taylors
to hang October 4th. The defense
then appealed the case to the su.
preme court. By order OF the court
the defendants have till the Novem-
Der term of the circuit court to file
their bill of exceptions. The case
will be returnable to the April term
Of the supreme court, when 1t is the
hope of the defense that q new trial
will be granted for the July term OF
circuit court, OF Carroll county.
Thus it will be seen that justice 10
hoped to be thwarted in this cose, as
in thousands OF others, through the
delays OF the law. And, the query
is, is it any wonder that an outraged
people should occasionally take the
law in their own hands for the punish
ment OF murders and other crimes
equally as bad? Trials in courts for
heinous crimes are often but little
less than a mockery, especially when
the defendants have money to fee
lawyers. who use their talents in de-
feating the intention of the law, and
outraging common decency, and
saddling an almost endless expense
upon the taxpayers.
Lawyers, however, are not wholly
to blame for the vexatic.us delays ol
the courts. Sometimes ignorant OF
venal iurymen have much TO do
with it. Sheriffs are not always
wholly blameless. They sometimes
summon men to sit in the jury box,
that they know have not that degree
of intelligence or honesty OF purpose
that would make them competent
iurymen. They summon them as
iurymen simply because they are
convenient rather than because they
are OF that class of men that are cal
culated to balance the scales OF JUS
tice between man and man, or be.
cause they are competent to try the
case according to the law and evi
dence.
Till there is radical change in the
administration of law as practiced
in our courts, we need scarcely hope
for a material reduction in the bill:
of criminal costs that have piled uE
mountain high OF late years, greatly
to the detriment Of law-abiding citi

A BAD WRECK.
A Freight Train Crashes Into the
Rear End of No. 4 Passen-
ger Train, at Dalton,
Last Thursday Night.
No One Hurt.

No. 4, the Kansas City ano st.
Louis Atlantic express train, due at
Dalton at 1908, q. m, had orders
to stop there last Friday morning
to take on board some colored peo-
pie who wanted to 60 on the excur-
sion to Columbia on the 9th inst.
Just as the passenger train round
ed the curve, west OF the Dalton
depot, the steam was shut Oh and
the air brakes applied, but the air
connections broke and the engineer
on No. 4 was unable to stop the
train until it had run past the depot.
He then started to back up, and as
be was doing so, an east-bound sx-
ira freight train, with Engineer Al
len at the throttle, came laundering
along. Allen had seen the danger
lights on the rear end OF the sleeper
pass the depot, and supposing the
track WAS clear, put on a full head OF
steam. As he rounded the curve
and saw his mistake, it was too late
to stop and the extra crashed into
the sleeping car, which was split asun-
der. set on fire and totally destroyed.
The engine OF the freight train was
partly burned, seven freight cars
were wrecked more or less and II or
15 head of hogs either killed or Grip
pied.
That no one was hurt seems al
most miraculous. The track was
but little damaged aud the wreck
was sufficiently cleared away to ad'
NIT of trains passing in about two
hours after the wreck occurred.
