SHOT BY HIS HALF BROTHER
puarrc, Of stanton County Farmers
Rcsults In u killing.

Sunday afternoon Oliver Anderson
shot and killed Andrew johnson, ST..
Mt the farm Of Andrew Colandcr, about
ten miles north Of stanton. The mcD
are half brothers aud Andrew Johnson
was an old settler and one Of the sub
stantial farmers Of stanton county.
They became invo lived in n dispute
and the qua rcl resulted in II fight In
which Anderson received II deep cash
in the leg. Later the two men met
and each had n gun. Anderson sue
ceeded in getting the drop on johnson
and shot him. lie i'm mcdiately went
to town and gave himself up. Coroner
Dern proceeded to the scene of the
shooting and impanelled n jury, which
after viewing the dead body and the
surroundings returned the following
verdict:
At IN inquisition holden at Stanton.

2sth days of August, a. d.. 1900, before
me, Louis Dcrn, ron of said county,
upon the body of Andrew Johnson, sr.,
lying dead, by the jurors whose names
are h%creunto subscribed, the said jur.
ors on their oath do say that said An

by reason of II shot from a gun in the
hands of Oliver Anderson, the shooting
being unnecessary.

Augnst az.

Eight miles west of Muncic. Ind,
Engineer w. II. Mccarthy of the Lake
Erie and Western train was shot and
killed by IA stray bullet from the gun
of n hunter in the woods along the
track.
Behind the barricadc that dead
men tell no tales General MERCER and
the general staff have c~ntrcnchcd
themselves. Sandherr Is dead, Henry
is dead, and despite the efforts of
Counsel Labori to secure the presence
of Patty de Clam. IL seems he is to he
sick or die. which of the two has not
yet been determined. In Saturdays
proceedings were injected several SEN
s~ationnl scenes. the ch.cfest Of which
was the conformation Of General Mcr-
cier. Colonel Maurel and Captain Frey
stactcr. Messrs. MERCER and Maurcl
attempted to d%isconccrt Captain Frey
%staetcr, who gave testimony favorable
to Dreyfus. They failed to do SO, but
were in turn COMPOUNDED by the
straightforward answers and evidence
Of the sturdy captain, whose bearing
gave power and effect to his testimony.
NJ. Labori recalled General Mercier
| and put him on the rack, succeeding
in compelling the crafty general to
shift his ground, showing him up foi
the arch conspirator he really is. TIL,
days proceedings were very favorable
to the defense.

Anti club.

A club lie o being formed In Paris,
the members OF which swear never TO
shake hands with any one unless they
are wearing gloves. Many members VI
the arlstocracy have shown their WILL
ingness to support the organization.
and a fine is to be imposed upon all
members who are caught shaking
hands without gloves. The formation
OF this curious club Is undoubtedly the
outcome Of a recent discussion In a
French medical journal. This paper
endeavored to show that disease has
occasionally been contracted by shak-
ing hands without gloves.
