FATAL
AFFAIR
George Balm Beaten to
Death. at Oxford by
Thomas Riley

! Oxford. Nd, Oct. George
Balm. aged 50 years, was beaten to
death today at his home, on Thigh,
man street, Oxford, and Thomas
Riley is held on the charge ofkill-
ing him.
The affair occurred about 4
o'clock this afternoon. Subse-
quently Riley sought Bailih
Crockett and Constable Dobson
and took them to Bain's house,
,, where he pointed out to them the
dead body. The corpse bore
malrs of violence sbout the head
and other parts. The wounds seem
to have been made with club.
The body also looked as though it
had been kicked. The officers say
Riley admitted to them he killed
Balm, as "he thought he was a
better man than me-" Acting
Coroner Mitchell summoned ajury
of inquest, with Capt John w.
Moore as foreman. John Kraft was
the only other person in the house
at the time OF the homicide, but he
seemed to know very little about
it, as he was alseep down stairs,
Both to the parties the affair are
white men. Balm had beer
resident of Oxford for several years
running an eating house, and bore
coed reputation. Riley is a
breakmaker and has been living
here some time. He also has a
good name. They have always
been friends, and no cause can be
assigned for the crime. unless it
resulted from a quarrel while they
were drinking. Riley, while not
drunk, showed evidence of an
indulgence in liquor when arrested.
Tilghman street, where the affair
occurred, is the most notorious
street Of the town. It is there that
speak-easies flourish, and the
officers have more trouble with its
fequenters than with all the rest of
the town combined.

O'KEEFFE FOR MAYOR.
A RouSing Rally Last Night.

A true reprod uctio1 of an eastern
| scene in a presidentia: campaign was
witnessed ON our streets last night.
1t had beer advertised that the &C mir
ers of the Hon. John O'Keeffe would
meet and it seemed for a time as if the
town was taking parti The demons.ra-
ton At 7:3O loug STRING ofslaborers,
headed by the band, paraded the
streets shouting their approval OF o.
Keeffe for mayor Of the city.
They marched down Oregon street
to the corner of Second, and there
speechmaking was INDUCED in. The
street in front Of the hall was crowded
as was the inside of the structure.
During the course of their remarks
the speakers touched on the crank
ness" of the present administration
and urged that the Taxpayers open
their eyes to their best interests and
support O'Keeffe for.maynr of Ell Paso.
At the sound of Mr.. O'Keeffe's name
the applause changed to yells Tor his
success in the approaching contest for
mayor on next Tuesday.
The meeting wes grand success and
had the effect of opening the eyes of
many as regards the corruption of the
present administration.
The ouly ones who seemed to oppose
his election on the streets last night
were few Office holders and few
more who expected to gain by Magof-
fms election

the Christian religion, particularly in
feature of the times, and steps should
be taken to remedy it. No matter
what our belief may be in religious
matters, every good citizen knows that
when the restraining Influences of reli-
gion are withdrawn from cmmouni-
ty, its decay, moral, mental, and f.
ncial, is swift and sure. To me this
is one of the strongest evidences of the
fundamental truth of Christianity"

during the slump were most exciting.
The floor became bedlam. The ex-
change and surrounding streets were
alive with bowling messengers, clerks,
and brokers. The only failure at noon
was Dimock and Co, who are presum-
ably short half a million. The reaction
set in about eleven aud lulled the eX-
citement somewhat but the day was
one of intense pressure in prices.
Stocks this afternoon were not so
erratic and fluctuations were on a much
narrower scale. The general list show
ed slight gains from noon prices.
