But Romulus, the Strong Man, Die
 Not Throw the Bull

Fl PasO. Tex. Feb. 24.-The adver- tisement that Romulus, a strong man from Italy, would throw a wild bull in the amphitheater in Juarez, caused about 1000 people from Ell Paso to cross the Rio Grande this afternoon to see the great Roman sport. The ex- hibitiOn was fake. Romulus could not throw the bull and the Mexican authorities placed him under arrest for failing to carry out his programme. The bull was a very tame little speci- men.

VICTOR KILEY'S FRENZY.
Probably Caused by the Holocaust in
 Victor City Jail.

Victor, Colo.,. Feb. 24.-A member of Cooks and Walters union No. of this city, Victor Riley by name, was found this morning wandering about the hills south of town in a highly demented condition. His frenzy is said to have been caused by excite ment brought on by the late fire in the city jail, in which three men lost their lives. Deputy Sheriff Boynton took charge of him and succeeded in getting him on the train to Cripple Creek, from which point he will be removed to Colorado Springs tomorrow. His mania is electricity, and he claims to be able to regulate the affairs of the world by that means. He says he in tends to interest MT. Stratton in his idea.

Charged WIN Attempted Rape.

Ema L. Prather Of near Pee Dee,
Mussel Fork township, went before
Justice r. P. Clarkson last Tuesday
and filed information charging VIM. J.
Anderson. farmer. Of that vicinity,
with having attempted to have carnal
knowledge Of her at his home on the
night Of Jan. 10Th, 1898.
The prosecuting witness states in
the information that Anderson came to
her room at night and threw the COW
er off Of her, made indecent proposals
to,her, and attempted to get in bed with
her, and did not desist until Mrs. An.
derson came into the room and in
quired what they were doing.
Upon the information filed with him,
Justice Clarkson issued a warrant for
Anderson's arrest. The warrant was
duly served, and when the prisoner
was taken before Justice Clarkson he
waived formal arraignment, pleaded
not guilty and gave bond in the sum
Of $500 for his appearance at his pre-
liminary trial, which has been set for
Wednesday, Feb. and.
Owing to Mrs. Anderson's being in
a delicate condition she will not be
able to attend the trial of her husband
next Wednesday, and he has expressed
a desire that her deposition be taken in
his behalf.
The above are the facts so far as
the papers in the case and Justice
Clarkson's letter to Prosecuting At
torney CoIlet show, but as the
defendants side ofthe case has not yet
been made public we refrain any COM
ments.
Mr.. Anderson is probably 90 years
Of age, and so far as we know has al
ways borne a good reputation. He
has been married two or three tunes.
and his fatherhood ranges from grown
children to prospective paternity.
Mr.. Anderson has retained the SER
vices of Attorney ]. c. Crawley of Key
tesville to defend him.

One Boy Sfabs Another.

A very youthful stabbing afray took
place in Keytesville yesterday after
noon between two colored boys,
Robt. Hawkins and Aaron Duncan,
Jr. Neither of the boys is over g
years of age, perhaps-in fact, the
Hawkins boy doesn't look to be over
!.
From what we can learn of the
trouble, Robert and Aaron had been
at "daggers' points for some time,
and the ill-feeling between them culmi-
mated in Roberts stabbing Aaron in
the left shoulder.blade with a knife
yesterday afternoon during quarrel.
The wound was slight one, the cut
only extending to the shoulder blade
bone, but owing to the fact that small
artery was severed good deal of
blood was spilled.
DR.. B. Hughes was called and took
one stitch in the wound, and pro-
nounces the patient as getting along
nicely this morning.
Robert, the boy who did the carv-
ing, has not yet been arrested, but he
is anticipating a much worse fate as
several of the small boys about town,
both white and colored, have induced
him to believe that he is going to be
hung, hence he is awaiting his doom
with fear and trembling.

Sang While Burning.

Mrs. George Small, 73 years old,
wife of a farmer who lives on the La
mine river, eight miles southeast OF
Sedalia, met with tragic death last
Sunday. While Mr.. Small was feed
ing stock Sunday morning the resi-
dence caught fire from a defective iue
and Mrs. Small. after calling her hus-
band, attempted to extinguish
the flames, but was overpowered
with smoke and her husband rescued
her with difficulty. Recovering con-
sciousness In few moments she darted
into the burning building and COM
menced to remove treasured articles.
Her reason had become dethroned
over the loss of her home and she
could not be restrained. On her
fourth trip into the circhng flames she
calmly sat down in a rocking chair
and commenced to sing, her voice be-
ing heard above the roar of flames
and the falling Of the rafters. Through
a window her form was seen sur
rounded by flames that were rapidly
devouring the curtains, carpet and
other inflammable material. Among
the few neighboring farmers at the
scene of the conHagration was George
Meyers, who became the hero OF the
occasion. He rushed into the fur
mace of fire and dragged Mrs. Small
out of the building, but too late to
save Der life. Portions of her body
had been burned to a crisp and she
died a few hours later after suf-
fering intensely. Mrs. Smail's rescuer
was also seriously burned, but will re-
cover.

received a telegram last evening from

Mr.. CASTOR no doubt congratulates
himself upon his success in
obtaining post office pie, and
So far as qualifications and
true blue Republicanism are concern
ed the appointment is unquestionably
bestowed deservedly. The three dis
appointed applicants, however, George
F. Cox, M. r. Carmon and Col. d.
J. Holman would certainly be justifi-
able in reaching the conclusion that
if one man in Keytesvllle is to have
all the Republican pie that their votes
are no longer wanted in the Repubh-
can party. They ought to rebel and
join the Populists, Woman Suffragists
or some high-toned sewing society.

A COMPARISON.

<%@sS0y SSNSSc
As you know, have lived for I8
years in Charlton and for, four years
in Warren county. In the former,
Democracy is at the helm; in the
latter, Republicanism rules. Now
permit me to enumerat few striking
differences between the two:
I. You have another time as much
litigation in one session of your circuit
court as we have in year.
2. Your county jail is almost con-
stantly filled with prisoners. Ours is
almost always vacant, and if it has
any inmates they are from neighboring
counties where Democracy holds
sway.
8. Charlton county is groaning under
the burden of large public indebted
ness. Warren county knows nothing
of such burden, but has nice sur.
plus in the treasury.
4. Your taxation is about two
dollars on hundreddollars' valuation.
With us it is hardly half as great. All
this is nothing but the truth.
If the editor of the COURIER would
live but six months in a Republican
county, he would no longer abuse the
Republican party, but be convinced
that it knows how to manage public
affairs for the public veal. If my
Democratic friends viii. studys these
things honesty and candidly. they
win have to admit that we Republicans
know thing or two.
Respectfully,
VIM. KUHLER.
Mark Hanna ought to move to
Warren county and take up his resi-
dence among the Republican angels
of that bailiwick. We don't know of
any man who is more in need of such
"elevating associations" than is Sena-
tor Hanna. If they can make an
angel of Mark, we will then be in
favor of shipping the entire Republi-
can party to Warren county for
regeneration. ED. COURIER.

The Green Jury Failed to Agree.

Another chapter has been recorded
in the notorious case of the state
against Robt. w. Green. the Clark
township farmer who was indicted on
FIVE different counts for having ravish-
ed his own daughter, Grace Green,
during periods ranging from August,
1893, tosMarch, 1896, the first ofense
having been committed when the
alleged victim of her own fathers lusts
was but IS years Of age.
At Green's first trial on Indictment
No. the jury failed to agree, standing
nine for conviction and three for &C.
quittal.
When tried on indictment No 2 at
Salisbury last July, II of the jury were
for acquittal and one for conviction.
Upon his second trial on indictment
No. I at Keytesville last October,
Green was acquitted.
At the present January term of cir
cult court at Salisbury, Green escaped
trial on Indictment No. upon a cler-
ical error in making up the record of
the case at the last July term of cir
cult court.
Case No. 3 was then called and
both parties answering ready for trial
the legal battle, which had been so
hotly contested on previous occasions,
was again begun. A venire of 60
men was ordered, and.from these the
following jury was selected:
w H Taylor, w c Adams.
Chas Price, ] H Hurt,
] A Hooper, Chas Clair,
G D Buckmaster, JP Guillod,
] P Hampton, N E Winters.
B M Albrecht, L KInkhorst,
who, after hearing the evidence, the
argument of counsel and received the
instructions of the court, retired from
the courtroom Saturday night at 1o:l S
O'Clock, but after being out until about
noon the following Tuesday were final
ly discharged, being unable to agree
on verdict On the first ballot the
jury stood eight for conviction and
four for acquittal, while on the last
ballot taken this order is said to have
reversed-standing eight for acquittal
and four for conviction.
The attorneys in the case, Prose-
cutting Attorney J. A. Collet, assisted
by J. C. Crawley and Capt. J. c. Wal
lace of Keytesville and Prosecuting
Attorney T. M. Bresnehen of Linn
county for the state, and L. N. Demp-
sey of Keytesville, Virgil Conkling of
Carrollton and B. l.. White of Marce-
line for the defense all have the con-
sciousness of ''duty well performed" :"
having done all in their power on the
one hand to convict and on the other
to acquit the defendant.
Prosecuting Attorney Collet will en-

remaining cases against Green in the
Salisbury circuit court this afternoon,
and ere this issue of the COURIER
