A MURDERER KILLED.
CHARLES STEVENS FOUND
SHOT IN THE HEAD.
WAS Recently Acquitted of Murder at
ChInlcothe, Mo-, and Is Supposed to
Have Been Killed by One of the wit"
nesSes Against Whom He Made Threats.

CH1LLIcoTHE, Mo-, Jan. rs. - The
dead body of Charles Stevens was
found yesterday morning few miles
from his home, he having been shot
through the head some time during
Saturday night.
1t will be remembered that Charles
Stevens was tried at the present term
of the Circuit court in Livingston
county on the charge of having muir
dered William Ellis, on the night OF
October 10, 1895. Stevens was acquit-
ted and since his acquittal it is alleged
that he and others of the family have
threatened the lives of some of the
witnesses who testified against him at
the trial. The superstition is that
some one of these witnesses did not
propose to take any chances on their
own lives.
1t is feared that this is but the be-
ginning of feud that may end in the
murder of others, for there are men in
both factions who are desperate. How
ever, if the death of Stevens is not
avenged the matter may drop without
further trouble.
Stevens was indicted and tried for
what is known as the haystack muir
der, on the night of October II, 1895.
William Ellis, young man of the city,
was called for at his home by someone
in buggy, and that was the last seen
of him alive His charred body was
was found the next morning in some
burning haystaclxs ON the farm of S.
H. Patterson, ten miles south of Chilli
cothe, and the crime was brought
home to Stevens, and he was indicted.
His recent acquittal was generally de-
nounced as an outrage upon the pub
lie, and it is charged that his abb was
the result of perjury on the part OF
some of his friends.
His motive for the murder of Ellis
was the alleged intimacy of the latter
with Mrs. Stevens previous to her
marriage.
1t came out in the trial of Stevens
that he had served term in the Ne
brasks penitentiary for murder
under almost similar circumstances in
that state, he having concealed the
body of his victim in a haystack.

LITTLE PETE KILLED.
Sam Franclsco'S Most Noted ChInanaan
Murdered by HIghbInders.

Murdered by Hlghbinders.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 25.-The' MUIR
der of Little Pete, the boss of China
town, who was shot by Highbinders
Saturday night, has created sensa-
ton here Little Pete was power in
San Francisco among both whites and
Chinese.
The murdered man was credited
with being at the head of every shady
transaction in Chinatown. He owned
gambling .dens and brothels, and
landed many Chinese illegally. He
was true gambler, and the game was
not known that he could not beat. His
brief but lucrative campaign at the
race track here surprised everybody.
Two years ago Little Pete COM
menced to play the races. At first he
bet legitimately, but found he could
not win fast enough. He soon found
means to work sure thing, however.
Three of the best jockeys at the track
were secretly in his employ, and the
Chinese plunger commenced to win
heavily. He is credited with having
cleaned up $780, 900 before his scheme
was discovered, and he, with his
jockeys, was ruled off the turf
