AT TER THE

Numerous Reports Floating Around Re-
garding the Swoyerland Shooting.
Ever since the recent shooting of
John SwOverland, numerous reports re-
garding some of the various matters
that led up TO the shooting have been
aired. One OF the stories that is being
circulated in and around Bourbon, is to
effect that some one who was a bitter
enemy to the deceased farmer, had
through some skillful manipulation I'M
known TO the old man or his friends,
gained possession of the revolver used
10y the old man on the day OF the shoot
ing, and extracted the bullets from it,
thus making it an impOsSibility for him
accusation may be as much as in the
following report:
Our informant states that it is
rumOred that a letter was received a
short time ago 10y Samuel Stewart, in
which was enclosed a five dollar bill. 1t
also contained, says Dame Rumor,
an expression of sympathy for the
prisoner.
y reporter of TIE INDEPENDENT
traced the latter report sufficiently to
learn from Stewart that there is nothing
hi 1t. The probabilities are that the
former report is about as authentic.

That Bull Fight.

Down on the borders between the
United States and Mexico there are
lined up hundreds of soldiers upon both
sides OF the line to prevent a fight be-
tween Fitzsimmons and Maher. This
subject has been the topic of converse
ton for several days, and the papers
have been filled with matter pertaining
to 1t. Especially has this been more
noticeable by the position taken by the
governor of Mexico.
Sunday the pugilists were gra-
clously permitted to cross the borders
IN witness one of the popular sports
OF Mexico-a bull fight. The governor
was the director of ceremonies, and the
Mexicans pronounced 1t a bowling sue
cess.
1t is said that the Americans who
went to witness the butchery were un-
able to view the bloody work, and left
before it was completed. The result
surely might cause intelligent people to
feel like entering a protest. The result
of the great event was:
Four bulls killed.
Four horses mangled.
The wounded-two horses gored by
the bulls horns; two picadors badly
hurt.
They are welcome TO their sport, if
that is what 1t is called, but we would
prefer the prize fight as seen in the
United States.

Since our mentioning the formation
of a Bachelors club in Plymouth, there
has been considerable uneasinesss a
mOng some of the younger men who
have recently avowed their intentions
to keep alOof of from the wileS OF the
fairer sex.
1t seems that one of the members had
forgotten his Obligations and unwilling
ly led into a trap by a fair lady of one
of our adjoining cities. 1t will be seen
by the following cut that the artist un-
derstOod his business, but TO
save our citizen who was caught in
this predicament, the embarrassment of
being confronted with his own likeness
to prove to him that he had been guilty
of forgetting the VOWS made to his
brother bachelors. a small change in
likeness was made. He will, no doubt
recall the circumstance:

Register u kick .

While these of Our citizens living on
the south side are entering their pro
tests regarding school facilities, there
comes another circumstance from resi-
dents on the West side that needs at
tending to. There have been on pre-
viOus occasions remonstrances entered
against the blocking of sidewalks and
streets by railway trains. Especially
has this been complained of the l.. f.
II w. II. II.
This trouble has been noticeable for
some time, and attention has been
called to this important matter on more
than one occasion. The principal time
when this blockading is most noticeable
is the moor hour, and some days until
go. Children going home from school
have a great many times waited fifteen
or twenty minutes for an opportunity
to cross the track to get to their homes,
and on many occasions they meet the
same obstruction when returning to
school; and it has been observed that
many times children take great risks In
crossing the tracks of the l.. f. * W
to get to the school house.
This state of affairs may continue
for some time and no one be injured.
and yet a horrible death might occur
any day, and not only the railroad, but
our city council receive the blame.

Although the weather has settled
down to a severe cold snap, yet the
indications that spring is near at hand
are numerous.
1t is SAID that George Wolford and
Frank Lams0n, consider the horse flesh

confidence in the ability of their seper.
ate chargers, has led to considerable
controversy, and can be settled definite
ly upon the race track.
We learn that these gentlemen have
at last come to an understanding, and
the necessary dough" put up to insure
an exciting race. George Wolford has

has put up $500 to Lamson's $1,000,
and nothing short of an earthquake can
keep these two gentlemen from settling
the speed of their blOOded horses.
The agreement has been entered into,
the race to take place at the race track
within the next sixty days. The race
will be the three best mile heats oil of
five, and the public are to be admitted
free. 1t is seriously contemplated
having excursion trains on all roads
that lead to Plymouth on this impor-
tant occasion.

The Problem solved.

At Green Bay, Wis, they have settled
the tramp nuisance, and there is not a
yagrant in the county. This has been
brought about by the erection of a
work house. Although the institution
has been in operation about two
months it is already evident the entire
cost of the grounds, the erection of
buildings, and the salary of the superin-
tendent for the first twelve months,
which covers all expenses of maintain
ing the wOrkhouse and caring for
prisoners, will not exceed the sum paid
by the county last year merely for the
keeping, alone, of tramps confined in the
county Jail. Inmates of the workhouse
