of Arthur Dorsey, colored, who was shot
by Edward, alias Egypt Galloway, Mon
day afternoon. Many people from this vii
lage went to the inquest, and the office OF
the acting coroner was crowded when the
iury assembled and begun hearing the tes-
timony. AS the deceased remained uncon-
scious from the time he was wounded until
he died there was no ante-mortem state
ment for the jury to near.
There was not an eyewitness to the shoot
ing before the jury, but the clrcumstantlai
evidence was so strong that the jury mad
no trouble in finding that Edward Galloway
fired the fatal shot. The finding of the flu
gitive, however, does not seemNo be an
easy task so far as the county officers are
concerned.
Francis Gasch was foreman of the jury
of inquest and other members were Daniel

" L. Perry, who attended the deceased. de-
scribed to the jury the nature of the wound,
which he said was necessarily fatal. The
doctor said the muzzle of the gun must
have been near his head when the shot was
fired, as the hair was scorched.
Mrs Galloway mother of the fugitive.
was an important witness. She identified
the gun in the case as the weapon that her
son took from her house about $3.50 clock
Monday afternoon. What he wanted with
the gun she did not know. Soon after he
left the house she heard a noise that
sounded like men engaged in a quarrel. She
started around to Cox's saloon, but before

Protecting the Foreigner.

All Of the big trusts except five have
been organized under the protection of
the Dingley and Mckinley bills With
out the prohibitory tariff they could
not exist. The question is whether 1t
will be possible to drive into the thick
skulls of the ignorant following OF the
republican party that when trust is
constantly shipping its products to
foreign countries and selling them at
half the prices that it sells them to the
people of the United States, that the
protection of the Dingley bill is for
the benefit of foreigners and the spoil
alton Of Americans For more than
fifteen years the American manufac.
turer have been selling goods all over
Europe at about half what the Ameri-
can has had to pay for them. The
only defense that has ever been made
when the facts hnye been proven be-
yond dispute, was to say that the stuff
sent TO Europe was only the surplus
stock left over on this side. That
these manufacturer always SO mare
age to have an immense stock left over
every year--this year amounting TO
millions--seems to have no effect at all
upon the average republican dolt. He
wall vote the ticket straight anyhow.
