COLD-BLCODED MURDER.
Feeling Very Bitter Against the
Slayers OF Hilton.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25.-CardWell
and Harris, the Las Virgines lanchers,
who killed Old man Hilton on Saturday
over a right of way dispute, will be
taken to Calabasa for arraignment.
They gave themselves up to the Justice
of the Peace there last Saturday, and
We're released on bail Of ~ 600 but the
Sheriff's officers have convinced the
Justice that bail is not permissible in
murder cases. and has the met in the
County Jail here.
Feeling against them is very bitter
in CaIabasa, and the Sheriff is going pre-
pared for trouble. From several
sources of information it appears that
the murder was a brutal and cold
blooded one, and that the aged wife of
the murdered man was compelled to
stand on her doorstep and watch her
husbands death struggles without be-
ing permitted to approach him or say
one word TO him while he lay dying.
1t appears that The murder was de-
liherately planned, and that the pair
had asked an officer of the township if
they could XIII the old man if he op-
posed them, and had received this Con-
stables permission 10 commit the nlur-

Men Prominent I'm the Political Ffelo
and In Civil Life.
Considering It's size, no state has
had such an influence upon Wiscon-
as has Vermont. In 1875 there were
l6,42l Vermonters in Wisconsin, a
number barely one-twentieth OF the
then population OF Vermont itself
But this comparatively small number
OF Vermonters has left its impress up
on Wisconsin. In the matter Of gov
ernors, Vermont can claim nothing,
but for the major part of Wisconsin's
existence she has been represented in
the national Senate by Vermonters
Matt Carpenter, Philetus Sawyer and
w. +. Villas. In 1873 the entire con-
gressional delegation was Vermont
born, and Senator Sawyer, before his
election to the Senate, c. A. FL
dredge and j. A. Barber were in Con-
gress several terms. g. +. Wheeler,
George w. Cate and Lucien b. Cas-
well are other Vermonters that have
sat for Wisconsin in the House of
Representatives 1.-The Wisconsin
Bismarck" Elisha w. Reyes, is Yer
monter, as are Editor Horace Taylor
OF the Madison State Journal and
George b. Burroughs, ex-state senator
and ex-speaker of the assembly, the
three men constituting Senator
Spooner's advisory cabinet. The late
Horace Rublee of The Sentinel and
the late David Atwood of The Madi-
son Journal are two other Vermont
ers. Dean Edwin Bryant of the Uni
versity Law school, Eugene 5. Elliott
OF Milwaukee and NJ. II. Doyon OF
Madison are three others who have
honored their adopted and their ma
tive states.
Politics seem the special field OF the
Wisconsin yermonters. In the legis-
iature of 1851, 10 out of &C assembly,
men were Vermonters and two sena-
tors out of l9. In 1853, there were
six senators out OF IS and seven as
semblymen out of 50. In 1857, there
were three out of 80 senators and IA
out Of 100 assemblymen, in 1859,
two senator's and ii assemblymen out
of 80. In 1864, there were five sem
ators out of 80, in 1865, eight, and in
1866, seven, the proportion of as
sembiymen remaining about the same.
In succeeding years, the number of
Vermonters gradually decreased,
though for some time remained near
" tenth OF the assembly.
There remain to add renown TO
their native state the names of Dr.
James ID. Butler, the antiquarian and
writer; the later Banker Mead Of
Sheboygan, the philanthropist; Pres.
ident Rufus Flagg of Ripon college,
and President Charles X. Adams of
the State university.
