BARKLEY sTIKEs BACK.

This brought Elder Barkley to his
feet and he jumped into the ring be
fore darcy was fairly out OF II and
was dealing sledgehammer blows to
the attacks made upon himself and
Mr.. Craig. In most scathing
denunciaton of the Democratic free
silver Cleveland platform be asked
whose collar did darcy wear but that
of the'school land ring, against whom
he refused to testify under oath when
called upon. The man who said that
David Craig was led by any man was
a liar. David Craig led an honest
clean life, paid his debts and was not
any poodle as darcy had saId. Bark
ley denied that he had received a
dollar for vote on the sheriff's bill.
When man IN that legislature
could have had $4,000 for his vote, he
would have been an idiot to sell it for
a pittance. 1t provided 10 ceDts
mile for sheriff livery rig when they
rendered extra services for which no
pay was provided. That was the bill
as IL left the house. Elder Barkley
said 75 per cent of the students in the
colleges and normal schools were the
the sons of farmers and were working
their own way through the schools
and living on hardtack at that.
Elder Barkley said he stood for the
people in all his votes and had not
lodged on single question or issue.
If in casting over 500 votes he had
made mistake he was sorry but had
voted honest. He stood on the plat
form Of the double standard, gold and
silver both as money. He stood for
a protective tariff and stood by the
interest of the five hundred thousand
miners and laborlng men in the inter-
mountain district who were consum-
ers of our farm products. He received
a good round of applause when he quit
and made good inpressin by his
speech.
Jap Mimic was called for and made
a more emphatic denial of the slander
that he ever spoke Of the Grand Army |
or member of that order otherwise |
than with respect.
Frank Feller, a jolly good feller,
candidate for county commissioner,
was introduced. He opposed cutting
bills as was now done-a $500 bill or a
$40 bin were all cut alike-s5 apiece.
He was taxpayer who would look out |
for his own interest and SO look out
for theirs. If elected, he would serve

doubted the outcome for a second. The
cowboys took a pair of chain hobbies,

but Davis loved peace for the sake
Of peace. His lessons, like the Quaker
blood, inclined him TO amity and for
bearance- He was exactly the sort of
a man for cowboy to be mistaken in.
His uncomplaining good nature, his
failuxe TO even frown resentment
against the impositions practiced upon
him were attributed to cowardice. "A
man usually gains nickname before
he gets his breakfast in the west. and
Davis was soon hailed as 'the Jack
rabbit" for his timidity. He stood this
as he stood all the rest
"It IL hard TO convince a Mexican that
an American is not dangerous man.
He has been furnished so many reasons
for the contrary view, and being by ma

hurt, he generally comedies it without
inquiry.
But 6 Mexican never loves an Ameri-

he will promptly practice any Insult

John Shure outfit became convinced,
like the Americans, that there was no
danger in Davis. You couldn't drag a

added themselves TO the ranks of his

made up his mind to turn. One morning

Astoria. Or, June 16.-Two masked
men entered the "Our" saloon, in this
city. at l2 O'Clock tonight and held up
the keepers of crap game. The men,
upon entering the room in which the
crap table stood, ordered the game
keepers and two other men to throw up
their hands, a command which was at
once obeyed by all except one of the
owners of the bsnk-roll, who rushed
out, calling for the police. One of the
robbers carried canvas sack, in which
he palced the money, while his COM

THEY FOUGHT TO THE DEATH
Two Duels in which the Contestants
Were Killed.

Tavares, Fla, June II. - Mrs
Robert Gresham is dead, and Mrs.
Mollie Gaines dying as the result Of
duel in which they were engaged near
Clermont yesterday afternoon. Three
months ago Mrs. Gaines was happy
bride, and Mrs Gresham, who was a
young widow, was her dearest friend.
Two weeks ago this love was changed
TO hate, for Mrs. Gaines discovered
that her husbands affections had been
won By the widow. Mrs. Gaines
learned yesterday that her husband and
Mrs. Gresham had planned meeting
at the latter's home. Taking her hus'
bands razor, the young wife went 10
the widows home and found the
couple together. Gaines fed, and his
wife sprang upon her rival, using the
razor with awful effect. Mrs. Gresh.
am picked up hammer and defended
herself as best she could, dealing Mrs.
Gaines blow after blow on the head.
Finally Mrs. Gaines reached her
rivals throat with the razor, severing
the jugular vein and causing almost
instant death. Neighbors who came in
found Mrs. Gaines unconscious beside
her rival. An examination showed
that the blows from the hammer had
fractured her skull. Both women came
from good families, and both were
noted for their beauty.
