KILLED INSTANTLY.

Tuesday, morning about $40, T. D.
freeman. railroad conductor running
out of Aurora, ILL.,, and we'll known to
many Barton county people, was killed
instantly by being shot in the neck,
few miles west Of Albert.
Mr.. Freeman had farm Just in the
edge of Rush county, now occupied by
John Ruble. He had just arrived from
the east to look after his wheat har.
vest. Tuesday morning he started
out with Ruble to get load of hay,
taking his gun and bird dog along.
While out in the field asaeighbor came
to tell them the stock had broken
through wire fence. Freeman got in
| the neighbor's cart to go over to where
the fence was down. He had the gun
standing between his knees, and the
dog lying in the front of the cart. The
horse refused to go, and the man with
Freeman got out of the cart to 90 to
the horses head and start him. Just
at that moment the gun was dis.
charged, and Freeman fell over dead
the charge having entered his neck and
severed his juglar vein.
1t is supposed the dog had in some
manner got onto the hammer of the
gun and thus discharged it at the fatal
moment it was pointed at the poor
mans throat. The coroner of Rush
county was notified and an investiga.
tion brought out the above facts.
James Freeman, brother, was or
his way here to join Tom, and wa.
notified at Topeka of the dreadful acci
dent. Shelly Winget was one of the
first men to reach the scene of thu
accident, and brought the news to towr
Tuesday.
Freeman leaves a wife and TIVE
small children, and large number O.
friends here mourn his terrible fate.

Lacrosse has had a genuine sensa-
tion of the blood curdling kind-one
that causes the children to tremble
with that delicious fear, excited by
folklore stories of 1.-The Bogie Man."
1t is true that the sequal is as redicu-
lous as the event was terrifying. but
the sensation is the talk of the town,
and the various phases of bluff, bluster
and bravery have been incidentally dis
cussed.
Last Thursday, ". T. Clark, princi-
pie of the Lacrosse schools. spent the
evening in company with a number of
other guests, at the residence of a
neighbor. The time passed so quickly
that when Mr.. Clark bade goodnight TO
the host, and turned his steps home

his soul, froze his young blood, and
made each particular hair stand Oh
end, commanded: Throw up your
hands!' Remembering many ghostly
midnight murder, terror laid hold. of
the trembling soul of the schoolmaster
even as fright possessed the heart of
Irving's redOubtable Ichabod. Fear
lent him wings, and the COLLINS of the
night danced in eltn gles on his ex-
tended coat tails as he ran for help.
A lady just leaving the house of enter

After the resolutions were adopted.
Norris, Of Clafin, said he had "a letter
| want rid to th' convintion for th' ben
eft av th' sorehids." 1t was not ques-
toned but what there were ''soreheads'
in the convention, and the ''letter" was
sent to the clerk to be read. 1t proved
to be clipping from the Kansas City
Times, purporting to be letter from
poor old Tom Moonlight, who is at
present down In Bolivia, and who,
while retaining little of his old-tlme
| democracy, is doubtless filed with In :
spiration from Wall Street alone, and
| has lost all knowledge of Kansas af-
fairs. The secretary read Toms rcreed
against silver, and came very near
reading what Tom thought of the de-
testable republican tariff system which
he said was entirely responsible for the
present depressed condition of finances;
but the secretary was choked off before
he carried the blunder too far. The
Moonlight letter fell with dull sick
ening thud," and not smile wreathed
the face of single republican. while
the democrats and populists were con-
vuIsed with laughter at the ridiculous
fix the Claf1in Irishman had got them
into.
An informal ballot for representative
was then taken, with the following re-
suit: B. F. Lorimor, 794; w. w
Sowards, 744; J. B. Prose, 3.

F. V. Russell presented the name OF

we believe that no discrimination

We heartily endorse the administra-
