the Short Line they ran across dog
fight. Mr.. Carson told his prospec. i've
son .in-law to shoot one of the dogs,
Mr.. Clapsaddle proceeded to do so.
Just as he pulled the trigger, Carson
threw up his left hand aud the ball
entered Carson's left arm, INJECTING a
painful but not dangerous wound. The
bone was shattered below the elbow.
About that time there was some talk
of the marriage not taking place, but
it came off Sunday as scheduled.

MAIN WITNESS DEcAMPED
To Save the Stormers Of the Fort
from Prosecution.

Before Squire Riley Monday after
noon, L. B. Morrison settled a war
rant issued against him upon COM
plant of Josephine Hornbrook, for
unlawfully injuring and defacing prop
erty Of Elizabeth Dowd, June 81. The
amount assessed against him was $40.
Another warrant against him for I'M
lawful shooting was dismissed because
the complaining witness, Lillian Hall,
had decamped. Ray Evans, Morrison's
associate in the ARRAY, has not been
caught, but his brother paid $40 into
the city exchequer for him for disor-
Derby conduct. Morrison also paid the
city a $40 fine on similar charge. 1t
seems the men stormed the fort on
Baltimore street, dischargedand empti-
ed their pistols, breaking the glass in
the front door and they were dead
bent on killing Lillian Hall, because
OF some personal grievance.

BoxIey's coIored Men in Trouble.

Some of Captain Boxley's colored
employees in Haymond's grove have
been having troubles of their own and
they are busy telling them to the
magistrates. William Baptist, Chas.
Henderson and Ernest White were
domiciled together. Saturday morn
ing Baptist locked the ranch, gave the
key to White and came up street.
When he went back, the ranch had
been broken into and Charles Hender-
sons watch was missing. White and
Henderson accused Baptist of pur-
Joining the time ticker and orderedhim
to quit the premises. Baptist bun
died up his belongings and started.
About that time White grabbed Bap-
ist'sShoes aud Henderson took some
of his clothes. They informed him it
was their purpose tokeep them, until
lie redeemed the stuff by returning
the watch. So far no warrants have
been issued.

The only parallel to this wonderful
achievement is McKinley's operations
in China. Having at considerable ex-
pense of bleod and treasure gone up to
Pekin to rescue a legation which the
Chinese could easily have killed before
he got there, and which they offered to
send to the coast with safe conduct,
ne now proposes to withdraw without
securing indemnity for the past, or
guarantee for the future. And without
taking any hand as to the portion of
China either for or against; and with
out looking to see if the "open door" is
still on its hinges. If he was going to
rely on diplomacyfto secure his ends
why not from the start without oil this
expense and "blow?"

in New Jersey at present. Indeed,
you very seldom hear it mentioned.

The Dallas, Texas, News has the fol-
lowing to say;
Toan audience of 1000 people at the
Texas Colorado Ghautauqua, Hon. Aft
Taylor delivered his lecture, Poetry
and Pearls. Gems of thought and
treasures of experience, sparkling,
cleaning with wit and humor were his
words--rare pearls of poetry in every
truth. Mr.. Taylor has found that the
secret of life is love, and that love can
dwell in any little corner. So deli
cately does he play upon the heart
strings of his audience, that they vi
brate with his every emotion, and glow
with his splendid enthusiasm.
With Emerson, Mr.. Taylor believes
that galway, Away something sings
that Aladins lamp may be kept burning
in the darkest gloom, and that only
purity of life and purpose can whiten
and tighten the soul.
Such men as Mr.. Taylor vocal the
sweet symphony of human existence,
so often hidden from us and lead men
lovingly to the Father of lights in
who there is no -nobleness neither
shadow of turning"
