LA CROSSE, Wis, Aug. pa crowd
Of Buffalo Bills showmen terrorized
the small town Of Prairie du Chen, 25
miles south of here, and during the
evening run things to suit themselves
in spite of the efforts Of the city police
force, which was too small to cope with
the Rough Riders. Before it was over
two Rough Riders, Charles Freyaugle,
formerly of the Fifth cavalry. and
Harry Cinquffas, formerly of the Sew.
enth cavalry, had been shot probably
fatally and the city marshal, Charles
Lindner, shot so seriously that his
death is expected at any time and John
Merrill, night policeman, probably ia
tally injured.
Fin&lly the citizens formed a mob
intending to disperse the showmen, but
were unable to, and the cowboys con-
tinued to run things with a high hand
until the proprietor Of the show had
been summoned and appeared on the
scene. He succeeded in dispensing his
men. The row started between a
Rough Rider and a citizen in a saloon.

Frantz, l3.year-old girl, by Anton
Pacher, Bohemian, who had been liv-
ing in Mr.. Frantz' family for two or
three years. The little brother of the
murdered girl was in the vicinity aud
heard his sister scream. Running 20 the
place he saw Pacher with s.v girls
body in his arms in the act OF
throwing her into the Snake river,
in which they had been fishing
during the afternoon. The boy spread
the alarm, and, when indignant peo-
pie came to the scene, both the
murderer aud his victim had disap-
peared. After searching for some time
the girls body was found and some
time later Pacher's body was found. 1t
is supposed he had outraged the girl,
choked her to death, thrown her body
into the river and then drowned him.

the pecuniary loss in the neighborhood
Of 100000. The most remarkable
feature of the storm is that not life
was lost.
The storm originated at Marinette
and from reports from the north' it
seems to have followed the line OF the
Northwestern road down as far as Osh-
kosh. There it veered to the east and
seemed to make for the lake. While it
did considerable damage all along its
track it was most severe here.
The width of the storm was about
half mile. 1t does not appear to have
struck as close to the earth as ordinary
tornadoes, but seems to have spent its
greatest force at some distance from the
ground. This accounts for the many
houses with partially demolished roofs.

Cabinets Reply to Ii Hung Chang's
Latest Message.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The cabinet
meeting was entirely devoted to dis
cussion of the situation in China. The
message received from Ii Hung Chang
was carefully considered, as was also
the dispatch from the other viceroys,
but replies have not yet been returned
1t was decided, however, to reject the
appeal OF the Chinese government,
made through Ii Hung Chang for the
appointment of Minister Conger Oh
some other minister to negotiate for
the cessation of hostilities. Such a re-
ply will be communicated to Ii Hung
Chang. Thc rejection is based ii the
non compliance Of the Chinese govern
ment with the specifications of the
United States declaration of Aug. IL.
At present this government is very
much in the dark as to who or what
the government OF China is and until
the atmosphere becomes clearer SO that
we may know whether there really is
responsible head in Pekln who can
treat with US 1nd whose guarantee to
protect our people and interests IN the
empire would be worth considering, the
whole matter OF treaty making will be
held in allegiance.
Government Without a Head.
This government does not forget that
at present it has treaty with the i'm
perlal government which fully guaran-
tees to protect the lives and property Of
our people. This treaty has been vio-
lated and its guaran tees wholly disre-
garded. In view Of this fact the presi-
dent will hesitate before he consents to
enter into another treaty. Members Of
the cabinet in discussing the matter
stated that information at hand
does not Indicate that there is
government worthy Of the
name, existing in China. 1t is
an enormous neadless affair, with
out knowledge of what is for the best
good ard without power to enforce it's
wishes. The probable fight of the en-
peror and the empress dowager has left
the government in a condition of chaos
and no one seems to know who, if any,
one, is directing its affairs. Under
these conditions this government will
act with extreme care in whatever steps
are taken locking toward peace, and
there Is reason to believe that the United
States, together with the other great
powers, does not intend to withdraw
any Of its troops until sta bic govern.
ment has been established whose guar
aotees will command respect.

Found Guilty Of Being an Accessory
to the Murder of Governor
William Goebel.
Verdict of Jury Unanimous and it
Took But Fifty-three Minutes
to Decide.
The Defendant, Powers, Staggered by
the Jury's Verdict, Claims it
to Be Unjust. q

Georgetown KY, Aug. 2O-' we Ulle
Jury, find the defendant guilty and fix
his punishment at confinement in the
penitentiary for the rest OF his ma
tural life"
This was the wording Of the verdict
in the case of Ex-Secretary OF State
Caleb Powers, charged with being an
accessory before the fact to the mur-
der of William Goebel. The jury re-
tired at 1882 and returned it's verdict
at 2:25, having been out only fifty
three minutes. Juror Craig stated
that the verdict could have been re-
turned even sooner, but considerable
time was taken up in reading the in
structiOnS.
The vote in favor of a life sentence
was unanimous. ....
When the jury retired the belief
was general that the jury would fail
to agree, and in this opinion the de-
fendant himself was firmly convinced.
When the verdict of guilty was re-
turned Powers, for the first time dur
ing the weary six weeks OF trial, be-
trayed his feeling. Under all the try
ing incidents Of the trial he had main-
tained changeless expression, the
same whether things were going fav-
orable or against him. The verdict,
of guilty, however, apparently stag
gered him. He was sitting near the
door Of. the jury room and when the
Jurors knocked on the door summon
ing the sheriff, his face took on an
anxious look that was noticeable, but
did not seem to be particularly ap-
prehensive.
When the twelve men filed into the
room and took their seats as the clerk
called the roll of jurors, the prisoner
did not appear to be more excited
than the vast throng of spectators
who craned their necks to catch the
first intimation of the verdict.
''Have you made a verdict, gentle
men?" inquired the court.
''We have" the jurors assented, and
at the same time Mr.. Stone, the fore
man, passed the verdict up to the
clerk, who read it aloud.
Powers, always pale, grew CHASTITY
as the verdict was read. and his face
betokened great mental anguish.
This was only for a few seconds, how
ever, and then somewhat regaining
his composure, he turned to the Misses
Dangerfeld, who had been in conver-
sation with him, and said:
81 was not expecting this. The ver-
dict is unjust
There was no sort OF demonstration
following the verdict and the vast
crowd filed out Of the court house al
most in silence.
Powers remained in the court room
for some time after the verdict was
rendered, in conference with his at
torneys, who will at once move for a
new trial and, failing in that, take an
appeal.
