Fate of q Western Man.

New York maintains its high reputation
as the wickedest city in the world. No
doubt there are parts of this country
in which there are fewer churches and
fewer policemen, but they do not cut 80
large figure in the criminal records as
merry Gotham. Attention has once more
been called to the supremacy of this city
by the fate of Mr.. Arbuckle, of Colorado.
There is a popular delusion that out in
that state men wear flannel shirts, broad-
brimmed hats and belts full of six shoot-
ers, and that they are past masters of the
gentle art of "getting the drop" on their
enemies, and thereby causing them to
"cash IN their chips"
Nevertheless, here was a man who had
waxed prosperous and happy in that
community of Bret Harte heroes, and had
never had anything but peaceful expert
ences. He had been frontiersman and
had braved the terrors of Cripple Creek,
whose inhabitants, according to the dram
atist of "Gay New York." sing as their
vesper hymn:
We'll play you poker for a dollar or your
Wen chuck you dice for toothpicl or your
WIFE"
For years he lived among the storied
perils of the wild west, and never had a
button shot off his coat. But in an evil
moment he decided to come to New York,
city presided over by the most pacific
of tea-driuking mayors and guarded, un-
der the direction of the toothsome Roose.
welt, by the very finest civil service police
in the world. In the crowded streets OF
this great village, under the watchful eyes
of the guardians of peace that passeth
understanding, Mr.. Arhuokle fell in with
such terrors as Denver knew not and
Cripple Greek never imagined. Even a
western highwayman would have taken
his money or his life, but here he lost
both.
The whole affair is sad commentary
on our domestic protective system. What
will Tucson, A. T., think of us, and what
comments will shook the midnight air OF
Dead Mans Gulch? Undoubtedly the un-
civilized west, where anarchists, repu.
diators, free-silver cranks and Bryanites
abound, will point the finger of scorn at
US, and declare that our Wanted civiliza-
tion is failure.-New York journal.

rott Dead

rott Dead.
Tom Leavell, one of the naorooa
shot by Mr.. Clifton Carrot last We'd
nesday night, near Longvisw, died
Friday night. fro
Old Reuben Leavell, father Of the
young man killed, was worse hurt
than at first supposed and bis wound
is giving him mach trouble and may
yet take fatal turn.
The facts of the affair as given
Friday were substantially correct.
The origin of the trouble was correct
ly set forth. A representative of the
KENTUcKIAN visited the vicinity Sat-
urday and secured the correct version
of the affair. Young Carrot was as.
saulted by Reuben Leavell and at
least two of his sons. After shooting
Tom Leavell he was knocked down
with piece of rail and for a moment
lost consciousness. When he recov-
cred his senses Reuben Leavell and
one of his sons were trying to get his
pistol. He shot old Reuben, the ball
striking two nches above the heart
and ranging upward into the left
shoulder. The son then grabbed the
pistol and it was taken from
CARROT. He got up and ran for his
life, pursued by some Of his assail
ants for mile or more. One version
is that he left his pistol, hat and coat,
The fact that all of the witnesses
were negroes makes it difficult to get
the correct details. Reuben Leavell
is the political boss of his district
and CARROTS own driver is under his
influence. The danger to him lies in
the absence Of witnesses who could
be relied upon to narrate the uncol-
ored facts. The fact that the trouble
occurred on LeavelPs premises is also
a point in law against him, but il
cannot be supposed that he went with
the intention of fighting half dozer
brawny negro men, single-handeC
! and alone, mile from any possible
assistance. This very fact is doubt
less what led to the assault upon
Carrot, the negroes seeing an oppor
tunity to give a beating to a white
man and member of the hated Far
mers Club" In this they made the
fatal mistake, however, of jumping the
wrong man and the Leavell family
is not as large as it was a week ago
No importance is attached tc the
threats of mob violence to Carrot
attributed to the negroes Of the Long
view neighborhood. If a hair on bis
head is hurt, there will be stormy
| tunes in that part of the country.

Child Burned To-Death.

A. little child of Mr.. Manson
Bennett, near Lafayette was
playing near the fire in the absence
of his mother, when his clothing
caught on fire and burned so badly
that he died last Wednesday in great
agony. The mother had gone to a
neighbours house and left the child
in the care of an older one, and some
how in playing around the fire its
clothing caught and burned it with
the above result. The mother heard
the screams and ran home to find it
in blaze. She threw a bucket Of
water on 1t and took the clothing off
and the skin came off with them.
The child fingered till Wednesday
night when it died.-Fairview Re-

way .Gce-Assassinated and
Dragged by the Tail
of Horse.

jacksonville, Fla, Dec. III. A.
Huau, the agent of the Cuban iunta
here, has received a letter from Hava-
ma which confirms the death Of Anto-
Mo Maceo, but. also indicates that
the Cuban leader was the victim of a
treacherous plot formed by his own
physician, d.. Zertucha, and the
Marquis De Ahumeda, who acts as
Captain General of Havana when
Weyler is absent on the field.
The letter was dated Dec. 9. and
the following extract gave the de-
tails:
"We are at present under the sad
impression caused by the death OF
our brave General, Antonio MaceO,
murdered together with the greater
part of his staff, by the Spaniards,
acting under the assassin Maj. Cru
jeda, and as instrumental in this hor-
rible drama, Maceo's second surgeon,
DR.. Maxine Zertucha.
Convinced as Weyley was, that
Notwithstanding his enormous army,
he could do nothing against our gal
liant leader, who has so repeatedly
defeated the Spanish generals in Pi-
mar Del Rio, he conceived the idea Of
appeasing his beastly instincts by
cold blooded murder, and making the
best of the secret relation between
DR.. Zertucha and the Marquis De
Ahumeda, he planned with the latter
his scheme. Weyler took the field,
and in his absence Ahumeda pro-
posed Zertucha a conference with
Maceo, to take place at certain point
in the Province of Havana, with a
view Of arranging plans for the ces-
sation Of hostllities, on the basis OF
Cuba's independence and a monetary
indemnity to Spain, with, moreover,
certain advantages that would be
agreed upon tor Spanish commerce
and Spanish capital here invested.
To carry out The plans, would be
given to the detachments of troops
stationed at the trocha in the section
between Mariel and Guanajay to al
low MaceO, with his staff to pass the
military line unmolested.
These combinations took time to
mature and, to give them the sem
blance of truth, Ahumeda feigned
that before acting he must make
known his plans to Weyler for his
previous approval; and this explains
the sudden arrival of Weyler at Ha-
vana and his prompt return to Pinar
Del Rio. Having arranged the con-
ditioLs and place Of meeting, Maceo
crossed the trOcha over the road to
Guanajay without being molested by
the forts, but once arrived at the
place decided upon, he and his party
were greeted by tremendous volley
from the forces under Mai. Cirujeda,
lying convenient in ambush Most
Of the officers of his staff fell with
Gen. Maceo. Zertucha is alive be-
cause he w was aware of the scheme,
remained in the rear. The Spauiards
know where the bodies are, but are
bent on feiSning ignorance to blot
out the vesiges Of the crime.

His Backbone Has Weatened

Cincinnati, Dec. ia special to
the Post from Frankfort, KY, says:
Gov. Bradley was at his office early
this morning, and he did not appear
surprised at the Washington reception
If his announcement in regard to the
special session of the Legislature.
He said: | think | have been the most
ill-used executive officer in the
country. Everybody, it seems, wants
to tell me what to do.
The Governor continued: Now, |
Will write something for you SO there
can be no further mistake about it"
Then, suiting the action to the word
he wrote the following: There will
certainly be a special session called.
1t will be called at such a time as |
can consistently believe proper. Not
one day before or one day after.
The responsibility is mine, and hence
| have the right to and will use my
discretion" WILLIAM O. BRADLEY"
Then he added: Gall l ask is that
you print this just as it IS written"

Will Be a Double Hanging.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 12.-Alonzc
Walling must die with Scott Jackson
for the murder of Pearl Bryan at
Covington. The Court of Appeals
this morning refused to grant WAL
ling a new trial and the sentence of
death of the Campbell County Cir
cult Court was affirmed.
The decision was handed down at
II o'clock by Judge HazeIrigg, who
also prepared the Jackson opinion.
The decision is indentically the same
as that rendered iii the jackson case.
If there should be no application for
leave to file petition for rehearing,
the mandate in the Walling case will
follow that in the Jackson case to the
Governor and he will probably fix the
same date for the execution.

Notice to Business Men.

Business men should leave word at
their homes if they want their houses
numbered. 1t is impossible for census
takers when assigning numbers to
come down town and hunt up the
business man, to find if he wants
number on his house. Trouble is
being caused the census takers to do
this and the work of numbering is
being delayed. Be SURE AND LEAVE
WORD AT YOUR HOUSE.

the capture After the arrest Clark
was taken to Colfax, where he met
Mr.. Wright who agreed to turn him
loose if he, Clark, would turn over
both the team and wagon, the team
having been owned by Clark. The
value of the team is scarcely sufficient
to reimburse Mr.. Wright for the
trouble and expense he has been to on
account of this scoundrei, but Mr..
Wright stated to reporter that he
did not wish to put Kootenai county

Justice is meted out to criminals of

have been subjected to some sort OF

The Biggest Fool at Large

Is the individual who persistently neglects
his health, and the means of preserving and
restoring it. Many persons who are not con-
stitutional idiots do this. They are genuine
objects OF compassion as we'll as censure. A
failure of appetite, loss of sleep and flesh, i'm
paired digestion, an uncertain state OF the
bowels and symptoms Of biliousness are SO
many warnings of the approach of disease.
To disregard them is abject folly, which Of
Tended nature in due time punlshes severely,
If not fatally. That genial and thoroughly
reliable preventive of bodily mischief in the
Bitters will, if resorted to in time, avert those
disorders, to the removal of which 1t is also
fully adequate. Among these are chronic in
constipation, nervousness, rheumatism and
malaria.
