sHERIFF's PARrORs REPAIRED.

The flooring and wainscoating in the
parlor of the sheriff's residence are be-
ing repaired. 1t was the primary inten-
ton to place new wafnscoating on the
rooms, but when the old wainscoat was
torn off the joists beneath the floor
were found to be so badly decayed, that
it is little short of a miracle that some
one has not been precipitated into the
cellar. AS a consequence, the entire
floor will have to be taken up, new
jOists put in, and the floors relaid. The
work will be finished sometime during
the week.

gro who murdered George Farra last

brought to the Jail here. Quite a num-

NEW CASTLE NEWS NOTES.

The extremely slippery condition Of
the pavements here last evening caused
pedestrians to take to the middle Of the
street, ''it being the best side" Nu-
merous falls were reported, but thus
far none of them have resulted more
seriously than a severe shake-up.
The annual inspection of II Com
pany, which was to have been held last
Wednesday night, but was postponed
on account of the sickness of one of
the inspecting officers, win be held in
the armOry tomorrow evening at
o'clock. A large attendance is antici-
pated.
]. T. Stoops still continues to i'm
prove, but the improvement is very
slow. However, his system has begun
to strengthen, and this being the case,
the most felicitous results are looked
for.
A number of vessels, bound seaward,
anchored off last night on account of
the sleet, darkness and northeast wind,
it being deemed safer to lay in a snug
harbor than to proceed onward in the
gloom with the running gear all frozen
and stiffened.

BILL TO ABOLISH RACE-TRACKs.

BILL III ABOLlSH hACE-I IRAChS.
Elkton, Nd, Dec. 21.-Of all need
ed local legislation in the next session
of the Assembly the abolishment of
the race-track, as it now exists in Cecil
county, comes first. Cecil county for
two years past has been overrun with
a very undesirable class of people at
tracted by the racing. The representa-
tives in the Legislature from Cecil
county are pledged to have the law re-
pealed and one enacted which will
drive from the borders of the county
for good this kind of racing and the
gambling features attached. a bill is
already being formulated, and will be
introduced as soon as the Legislature
meets, and by February will probably
have become a law. The raee-track
managers, and horsemen as well, have
long ago come to the conclusion that
they must go. and each day is being
utilized in which to race. At the close
of the races at Iron Hill the last Of
this month, Barksdale will open the
first of the year.

The Guthrie club held an interesting
meeting last night and many sugges-
tions were made regarding the city's
welfare and railroad interest. 1t was
decided to send a committee to St
Louis to look after the city railway
enterprise and other matters.
The recent visit Of FRISCO officials TO
Oklahoma has caused no alarm and
the members have good reason to be-
lieve that the Brown road from Red
Fork to Guthrie will be in operation
before Jones, of Oklahoma City,
closes his windy junket

He Fought she Omeers


 Sheriff Rutfner left last night for Yuma with William Schultz, under sentence of ten years for man slaughter. Schultz was convicted of the murder of G. K. W. McNary and sentenced to be hanged. His case was appealed to the supreme court and sent back for retrial. In the meantime. through the passage of the Norton act, the highest crime he could be convicted of was man slaughter, and on his second trial he was convicted of the latter crime, and sentenced to the longest period possible under the law. He has al- ways said that he would not go to Yuma. and when the officers entered the jail last evening to take him, he fought them most viciously. It re- quired the combined efforts of four men to place the irons on him, and before accomplishing it, he succeed ed in kicking Under Sheriff Dillon under the eye, causing a very painful wound. Sheriff Ruffner secured the services of ex-Sherif W. J. Mul- venom as a guard to accompany him, as Schultz had openly stated that he would kill himself rather than go to the penitentiary. While the off cers were engaged in putting the hand cuffs and shackles upon him, he kept yelling "Murderp "Innocent ManW and applying vile epithets, at the top of his voice, against them.
