THAT NEGRO SHOOTING.
Louis Murray, a Chicken Peddler,
Shoots Dave Moore, Negro
Highway Robber.

Yesterday we made mention OF a
negro being shot, just as we were
going to press.
Later developments show that
Louis Murray a chicken peddIer,
who had disposed of his chickens
here, and had loaded up his store
box with goods for trading pur-
poses, as well as getting more
whiskey than was good for him,
started out of the city for the coun-
try. Just before he reached NiX's
blacksmith shop on Broad street,
Dave Moore, a negro, approached
and Crawled into the back part Of
the wagon and when discovered,
said he wanted a ride. Murray or
dered him to get out, but he was
sullen and did not bulge, and when
beyond Nixs shop the negro opened
the box containing Murray's goods,
and was going to appropriate them
to his own use. Murray hit him
once with his fist, and seeing he
could not do anything with him,
drew his revolver and fired a cham
Der into his body, the bullet taking
effect in the lower body and coming
around again after making pain
full and ugly wound. The negro
jumped from the wagon at this,
and Murray drove on to Dunn's
store, just across the railroad and
stopped, The negro was brought
to the city and turned over to Dr.,
S. A. Simmons for treatment,
The negro tells an entirely differ
ent tale from the above, and said
he got on the wheel of the wagon
aud asked for a ride when the man
shot him.
Officers went out and arrested
Murray, who had made no effort to
escape, and he is here today, and
the above version favorable to him,
was given us by him, He will be
given a preliminary hearing today,

A BUSTED BOOMER.
Once Wealthy He Now Sleeps in Con-
 venient Haystacks.

OAKLAND, Cal, July 30.-Justin F. Kicker, at one time capitalist, is now tramp. The transformation has been gradual, but none the less com- plete A few years ago Kicker was a rich man residing in Pomona Today a charge of vagrancy is booked against him at the Alameda county Jail, and the erstwhile man of means is herded among the weary walkers lodging in "Vag Alley" Kicker was found sleeping in a haystack a few nights ago on the San Pablo road. A con- stable rudely disturbed his slumbers and sent him to jail. The passing of Kicker is an incident of the southern California boom. He came to this state from Maine. Backed by a we'll filled purse, Kicker prospered. He bought land. He had large contracts for property improvements, and during the height of the great excitement he was carried away with the future. Then the crash came. He was left penniless. Courage forsook him and he finally became a wanderer. Kicker will go before judge. The usual five days Imprisonment will be imposed
 and after that he will be turned out
 to resume his wearisome way over the earth

WROTE ON A BOARD.
French Sailor of the Fuller Inscribed
 Details of the Triple Murder.

HALIFAX, July 30.-A new discov- cry was made in the Herbert Fuller tragedy last evening. One of the po- lice officers placed on board found written with a pencil on a piece of tim- Der among the deck load a memo randum of what occurred on the night of the tragedy.
 Franke Lohoose, the French sailor, says he wrote it. It is thought that, fearing further tragic events might oc- cur before the vessel arrived in port, he intended to throw the piece of tim- Der overheard in hopes that it might be picked up by some vessel. The purport of the memorandum has not been disclosed, but it is believed to be quite important, and will be used in the trial.
 Since the discharge of Bram, who was brought in covered with irons, and who barely escaped the hands of an excited populace, his innocence is fully believed in.
 Very few now doubt that the terri ble triple crime was committed by the prisoner Brown, who is undoubtedly of unsound mind.

The PitifuI Tale Smith
 Has to Tell.
Wife Tattled and Lost Him His
 Job.
Threw His Library Out of the Win dow, Threatened to Kill HIm,
 and Deceived Him,

KANSAS CITY, July 30.-Rev Julius s. Smith filed a petition in the circuit court at Independence yester- day for divorce. The petition was put up in sections and enumerated experi- ences in the matrimonial line which would affect any stony hearted judge. Rev. Julius S. Smith married Mamie Smith at Saltwater, O. T., April 4, 1893 Since that time enough things have happened to make him dispirited and seek relief in a divorce suit.
 The plaintiff says that he is min ister of the gospel, preached to his little flock every Sunday morning, was we'll thought of and respected. He al- legged, however, that his wife went among the members of his congrega- tion and told the sisters that she and Smith were never married and that she was his common law wife This lost him his position as a dispenser of theology. At Oswego he secured an other pastorate, but at this point his wife accused him with too much fa- miliarity with membe of his congre- gation and he had to move again. One day while returning home from a pas toral call, he found the window of his residence open and his theological li- brary, which he prized highly, coming ! out in sections. He discovered that his wife was the motive power which sent the literature flying Assuming to pick up the prized volumes his wife ordered him to desist or be shot. He alleges that he desisted until he se- cured an officer.
 When the Fourth of July, 1894, ar rived his wife went to celebration and did not return until the following September. To cap the climax the plaintiff alleged that when he married her he was deluded into the belief that she was a widow with one child. This he found to be untrue. Finding his liberties somewhat restricted, he ar rived at the conclusion that home was not what it ought to be. June 20 he went away, leaving his wife i'll control of the household goods. Rev., Julius Smith signs his petition with a cross mark.

SLAVE GIRLS.
What an American Missionary Says
 About the Practice.

SEATTLE. July 30.-The Rev. J.. B. Adams, a missionary to China, writing from Hong Kong to a friend in this city, says: Slavery and po- lygamy seem to be twins, and they go hand in hand today in China There are millions of polygamous houses in China and millions of slaves. Even in those Chinese cities which are owned by European governments, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Penang, Ma coa, Manilla, Batavie and Delhi, slav- cry is almost as prevalent there as in China proper. Slave girls are pur- chased from their parents or guard ians when they are quite young. From fhree to seven years is the favorite age in the market. The price is then quite low, ranging from $10 to s16. Girl slavery has been favored by the Chinese for many centuries and is an organic feature of their civilization. It extends from the imperial house hold in Pekin down to the lowest coolie family A San Francisco mer- chant of good social standing and financial standing has three beautiful daughters who belong to one of the worst dens in Hong Kong. Their mother was a slave whom he owned while there.

GOLDEN, Colo, July 30.-A large gang of workmen began the repairing of the Gulf road up Clear Creek can yon. Frank Trumbull, receiver and general manager, and other officials of the road said they could not give even an approximate estimate of the dam age, but that they will probably be able to get trains through to George town in two weeks. One hundred and seventy-fve men are now at work re- pairing and 100 more will be put on very soon. The road for about seven miles must be almost wholly rebuilt, as the bed is washed out or buried under great masses of rock and dirt People at Central Park City and Blackhawk express fears of food be- coming scarce before the road is re- paired.

WOMAlN'S TEETH.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July BOA pe- culiar case of blood poisoning has just come to light in Cambridge. Dr. Henry Eagan, dentist, has an office on Massachusetts avenue, and some time ago lady patient called upon him to have a tooth pulled. AS he was inserting the foreeps the lady in- stinctively closed her mouth. The skin on the forefnger of the doctors hand was abrased by a tooth coming in contact with it. He drew the ach- ing molar from the lady's mouth and thought nothing more of the scratch except to wash it with carbolic acid. In few hours his hand began to swell and then his arm and he was compelled to remain at home, as the physician stated he was dangerously i'll with blood poisoning and had small chance of recovery, but he has for tunately gotten well.
