somebody suggested TO Clark that he would bet

name was soon enrolled as a member OF the
club. He was Informed that he would he ex.

was embroidered in gold lace. Mrs. Clark
thought two anchors would look much pretter,
and so Arthur. like dutifui husband, yielded
to her better judgment AID bought cap with

PLATrsBURG, Oct. 7.-On Tuesday evening
James J. Conway, who lives with his fathcr.in-
law, W. J. Goss. on Rand Hill, in the town of
Altoona, went to visit his mother. On arriving
there he found his brother Paddy" notori-
Gus tough, drunk and abusing and maltreating
her. EXpostulation was of no avail, and the
men had a scutilc. Paddy was thrown to tho
floor, but quickly regaining his feet he went into
another room, and returning with a Winchester
rifle discharged it at his brother. Tho ball
struck his arm, breaking it in two places, and,
glancing, entered the abdomen. The wounded
man managed to crawl to his home. a quarter of
a mile away, and physicians from Plattsburg
were summoned. Nothing could be done, and
Conway died at > p. NJ.
Sheriff Vaughan and a posse started out TO
capture the murderer, and found him barr!caded
in his mothers house. He warned the officers
not to come near, as he would kill any man who
came within shooting distance. He said that
he would sell his life as dearly az possible. The
officers have surrounded the house, and his cap.
ture Is but a matter of time.
