CAN'T CARRY A COFFIN.
Unseemly Parade of Salvation Army
Sensationalists in Missouri.

Lexington, Mo-, Aug. 1S.-Captain
Cooper, commanding the Midland Scouts
division of the Salvation Army at this
place, was arrested today on the charge
of disturbing the peace by giving an
unseemly parade on the streets last
night. He gave bond and will appear
before City Recorder Walker next Mon
day. The Salvationists had advertised
coffin meeting at their tent, declaring
that they would carry a real coffin in
their nightly street parade. Mayor
Taubman notified them that if they ap-
peared on the streets with coffin they
would be arrested, but in defiance of
this notice they carried out their pro-
gramme, and, with muffied drums and
solemn tread, carried a coffin at the
head of the parade and attracted a
large crowd of people

Sees No Need of Troops

Springfield, I'LL, Aug 1s.-Gov. Tan

from Coffeen: John r. Tanner, Gov
ernor:-One word from the governor
will dispense 500 or more miners who
are now beseiging the village of COT

wait until the little town is in ashes
and possibly lives lost? The presence

good purpose at this time. The miners
declare their intention of disregarding
the proclamation. What shall I do?

Sheriff

a PROSPEROUS COLONY.
| German Settlement Near Dodge City
| Growing Wealthy.

Dodge City, Aug. 1S.-One firm alone
in this county has purchased $40, 900
worth of cattle, the surplus of the farm
erS in the German settlement of Ford
county. This is a rough estimate, but
is pretty near the truth. The German
settlement neighbors have sold cattle
to other dealers, but not to this amount.
1t is safe to say that the aggregate sur
plus of cattle sold in one year amounts
to $4,000 in rough guess. There are
not more than one hundred families in
the settlement, and an even distTzbu-
ton of this wealth would give to each
family 5000.

A Negro Tramp Murdered.

Monday night, 9th inst, negro tramp
| was murdered in the barn of Mr. G.
Daniel at Summerdean, this county. About
dark, small mulatto man aged about 2(
years. called at Mr.. Daniels and asked for
lodging over night in the barn. He carried
an axe and stated that he was wood chop.
per, and would pay for his lodging the next
morning by chopping up lot of wood A
few minutes later Mr.. Daniel was applied
to by another negro who also wanted to
spend the night in his barn. When the first
negro heard of this he became very uneasy
and said that this man had been following
him all day. The next day nothing was
seen OF the negroes, but on Wednesday a
colored labofer while moving some hay in
the barn uncovered the body of dead man.
1t proved to be the little mulatto. He was
armed with racer and pistol and had his
axe near him. The back of his head was
crushed in and quantities of blood stains
were everywhere seen. A bloody garden
hoe was discovered near by aud was doubt
less the instrument of his death. There was
no sign OF scuffie and from appearances
the victim must have been killed while
asleep. A coroner's jury from Middlebrook
after investigation concluded that the man
met his death from blow with the hoe in
hands OF the unknown negro tramp. The
murderer had more than sc hours start of
his would be caDtors and has made good his
escape He is clean shaven, very black, |
and OF immense size-supposed to be nearly
feet in height. 1t is thought that he was
on his way to Long Dale or some of the
other mines along the line of the e. & o. |
Ky. The victim was small of statute, light
mustache, mulatto and had come that day |
from Staunton.
