News was received at Challis
by last Thursdays stage that
on the day previous one Frank
McLerren had been shot twice
and killed instantly. We have
no particulars of the affair. 1t
reported that McLerren was
killed at 8 o'clock in the evening
by one of three while he was
coming out of the postoffice, but
the name is not learned at this
place. McLerren was one OF
these would be- bad-men with a
gun and has at last met his doom,
the final fate all such people.
The time for these "Bitter
Creek Terrors' is about through
with in the West. McLerren
was a young man and probably
not over "a years of age. Sheriff
Lane and Coroner Jones left for
Houston in a few minutes after
receiving word of the killing.
LATER:-Sheriff Lane arrived
in Challis on Sunday the Goth,
with Bob Moore, a constable OF
that precinct, who did the shoot
ing. Mr.. Moore waived Gamma
tion, and will be confined to jail
to await the action of the District
Court which convenes here on
the 18th of October. 1t is said
that young McLerren had threat
ened Moore's life on different oc-
casions and also on the same day
that he met his fate, and resisted
arrest when he was killed. The
funeral took place on the 25th.
AS the result of the develop
ment of our public school system
and the cheapening of books
there has grown up a large clas.
of men and women who seel
broader education, or desire tt
extend their knowledge alons
special lines. Their duties il
life or lack of means exclude
them from the universities. Tht
Cosmopolitan Magazine has under.
taken the task Of bringing liberia
education, in it's broadcast sense
within the reach of those who
have the aspiration, but are de
prived of the opportunity. DR.
Andrews, late of Brown Univer
sity, has undertaken the presi
dency of the Cosmopolitan's ed
} ucational movement. The work
thus begun, is not intended t.
take the place of regular univer
sity work, but to supply gapir
} existing educational facilities
Those who ale really in search
of knowledge will find direction
and aid. 1t can do nothing fol
; those who have no desire tt
