Armstrong; Lying For Filling.

The chemically dispeptic editor of
the Beacon last week stopped grumb.
ling about the wrong adjustment of
the planets and unsatisfactory arrange.
ment of the universe in general, long
enough to write few lines for his
paper. head them Lying For Money
and aim them at the editor of the Dem
oCRAT. Just why the grumpy deacon
should thus bellyache over a little
item of instruction to advertisers in
the DEMOCRAT we do not know, and
care less. We presume that his slug
gish water logged brain has somehow
conceived the idea that he ought to
jump onto somebody to show to his
readers that he was still alive, and
he chose the editor of of the DEMO
Graf in the hope that some notice
would be gwen him in paper that is
read: and to humOr his crazyness we
gvie him little space, just to tell
him that his attack upon the editor
of this paper, because we stated some
truths that did not appear to his
credit, was ngentlemanly, contemp-
tible and totally uncalled for. The
principle thing that is wrong with
Armstrong is. that he has the big
head worse than any other ass we
Know of. His next greatest defect
is that he has not learned the first
principles of editorial courtesy, and
we fear has not the capacity to ever
learn. It is really sin to point out the
numerous short comings of this whin-
ing supplient for public favors; but be
the sin visited upon his own head be-
cause of his inviting our notice.

Killed by the Oars.

Wednesday morning Jake Bunden-
thall, while walking up the Santa Fe
main line found the mangled body of
a young man lying on the track. Coro-
ner Shaw was notified and had the
body removed to the undertaker's
rooms.
The body was cut completely in two
just across the lower ribs, one arm be.
ing also severed. In the clothing was
found printers brass composing rule,
and small steel printers stick about
one inch long was on his vest. In his
pockets were two gold watches, one
silver watch, two pocket knives, re-
volver, pocket mirror and several pho
togra pbs The photographs, one of
woman and two children, were taken
at Arkansas City, Kansas. A memo
randum book in his coat pocket was
so badly chewed up by the car wheels
that none of the writing could be made
out. The man had on two pair of
pants. two coats, brown SLOUGH hat
with crepe around it, and fine under
wear which had evidently been bought
in Denver. No writing to indicate
his identity.
The third finger of his left hand had
been at one time mashed at the end.
He was apparently about 26 years old,
5 feet 6 inches tall and weighed about
40; heavy head of auburn hair, slight
mustache, gray eyes.
Sheriff Aber will try to get some clue
to.his identity through the photographs.
The body was so cut up it could hot
be kept, and was buried by the county
today.
