Throat Cat by HaIr-Breed.

Judge brOWn, telIs Vi tns capture
yesterday, of the half-breed who,
while travelling with white compan-
ion named Ed Shelter, cut tie lat
ter's throat from ear TO ear, intend
ing to kill and rob him. The william
was arrested by Sheriff o. Sparks
near Oswego, where be has been
hiding in the brush ever since the
perpetration OF the crime. He gives
his name as Bill Starr, and his VIC
tim, who can not speak, Identified
him by nodding his head as soon as
brought before him.
Shelter, whe was riding pony,
overlook the half breed at Chetopa
and they travelled together the rest
of the afternoon Night overlook
them before they reached Hallowell,
and they decided to camp until
morning at school house near the
Wimp homestead
Shelter who had travelled all day,
and being tired, quickly fell asleep.
This was the opportunity his COM
panion awaited, and he proceeded to
execute his purpose in most fend-
ish and cold blooded manner. He
first struck the sleeper over the head
with blunt instrument, expecting
to stun him, but the blow, though a
severe one, only aroused Shelter,
and he Immediately began scream
ing. His assailaut then cut his
throat from ear to ear, evidently
with dali knife, for, although the
thorax was out in two, the lugular
veins were not touched, and, al
though Shelter retained conscious
ness, he was unable to make an out.
cry. The family of Mr.. Wimp, on
hearing the screams when Shelter
was first attacked, went to the
school house to learn the cause, but
in the darkness could not locate the
spot where the struggle occurred
and, although Shelter could heal
them, he could not speak to let then
know where he was.
The half. breed, on hearing the
neighbors approach, hastily took hi'
departure, without having secured
Shelters money, which was no doub
his object in attempting to murdel
him. Left alone with that terrible
gap in his throat and in mortal fea
J lest his murderous companion shoult
return. Shelter began to crawl ava,
on his hands and knees. Some tim
during the night he reached farm
house about one half mile from tn
i school house, and there being n
q one at home, he entered and crawle
under bed, hoping to hide ther
, in case the half-breed should pursu

3 boys went to try and discover tn
. cause of the cries heard the night b.

a Curious Coin.

Some time ago a controversy arose
between two Ogden gentlemen, which
they endehvored to settle by a wager.
One gentleman offered to bet that
this government had once coired a
81 gold piece, and the other took the
bet. y query was sent to contem-
pnrary, and the reply was that the
government had never issued such a
coin. The apparent loser of the bet
was not satisfied, and further investi-
cations have been made. The Her
aid can exhibit 81 gold piece coin
I'd by the United States, and owned
by an Ogden gentleman. One. side
bears woman's head. and the date
is 1879. The letters and figures
aroui Il the edge alternate with stars.
On the reverse side are the words.
"U. S. of A., -Four Doll" md in the
center is Il star with the inscriptions:
"Oue Stella: 400 Cents"
1t IS said that while about 500 of
the coins were issued, the coin was
never circulated. and the issue was
stopped. Whether such an Issue
may be called coming in the full
sense Of the term is question, but
certain it is that the coin exists, and
its owner is willing at any time to
show it.---IIerald.
