SHOT OUT IN OLD FEUD.
THREE MEn KILLED AND TWO WOUNDED
IN BLOODY KENTUCKY.
INNOCENT BYSTANDERS PERISH.
Col. CoIson Did Deadly Work-ResuIt OF
Quarrel While in the Army

FEASKroET, KY, January lG.-
Ex- Congressman Colson to-day shot
dead Albert Scott, Luther Dcmarcs
and Charles Julian, the latter two
friends Of Scott, who was nephew
of Governor Bradley. There was Il
general fight. Colson was wounded
before succeeding in killing Scott
and w. w. Golden also received a
bullet wound.
The shooting was the outcome Of
an old grudgc, being the second
time Scott and Colson had met in
conflict.
The fight was precipitated by n
chance meeting at the Capitol hotel
this afternoon. Both were accom-
panied by friends who hoped to pre-
vent bloodshcd. AS soon as Colson
saw Scott he pulled his revolver and
fired at him. Scott fell dead.
Dcmarcs and Julian had drawn
their rcvoynrs with the intention Of
offending Scott. Colson seeing their
rcvolvcrs in their hands, without hcsi-
tation, fired upon them, too. Dcmaros
WAS instantly killed and .Julia'. died
half an hour later.
The affair is not directly Il result
Of IN q ,ction dispute, as Scott and
ColSon are both Republicans.
The trouble between Scott and
Colson, which began in the army
last year, resulted in Colson being
shot by Scott ut that time. Colson
after the killing ran to the chief Of
police and gave himself up. Later
4 warrant was secured by Clint
Furg, who witnessed the killing and
says CulSuu fired the first shot.
ColSon is ir high nervous state
over the tragedy. He has never
fully recovered from Il stroke Of
paralysis last year and his friends
are greatly concerned over his con-
dlion.

The NiCaraguan Canal.

WASHlNGroN, January lG.--Thc House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce has ordered favorable report
upon the Hepburn bill for the conStruc-
ton of the Nicaraguan canal. The bill
is practically the same one reported by
the committee III last Congl css.
There was some discussion about the
advisable y Of delaying action on the
bill until the lSthmian canal commission
reported, but this was finally regarded
rs unnecessary and all the members cx-
ccpt Fletcher, of Minnesota, voted to
report the bill favorably.
The committee made some changes in
the original bill, inserting a new section
and making suitable alterations which
will not affect its original purpose.

ROBERTS, IS DENIED A SEAT.
THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE IS READY
TO MAKE ITS REPORT.
The DECISION IS VERY EMPHATIC.
The Would'be Congressman Has Three Wives
and Is tho Father OF Twelve Children.

WASHINGTON, January 17.-The
special committee of the House of
Representatives to investigate the
case Of Brigham II. Roberts, of Utah,
today reached a final conclusion.
On tho polygamous status of Mr..
Roberts the committee was unani-
nous and agreed upon a formal
statement of facts. On the question
OF procedure to be adopted the COM
mittoe was divided. The majority,
consisting of all the members except
Littlefield, of Maine, and DeArmond,
oi Missouri, favored the exclusion at
tho outset. Messrs. Litt!eGeld, Re.
publican, and DeArmond, Democrat,
will make minority report favorabio
to seating Roberts on his prima facic
rights and then expelling him. The
majority were Taylor, Frcar, Morris
and Mcpherson, Republicans; Lam
ham and Miors, Democrats. The
statement of facts found by tho
Democrats is as follows:
eve find that b. II. Roberta WAS
elected q representative to the fifty
sixth Congress from the State of
Utah and was at the date OF his cleo
ton above the age of twenty-five
years that he has been for more
than seven years naturalized citiz II
of the United States and was an in
hibitant of the State of Utah.
owe further find that about 1878
he married Louisa Smith, his first
and lawful wife, with whom he has
ever since lived as such and who,
since their marriage, has borne him
six children.
"That since 1885, he married as
as his plural wife Celia Dibblc, witt
whom he has ever since lived as such
who, since such marriage, has borne
him six children, of whom tho last
were twins, born August II, 1857.
"That some years after his said
marriage to Celia Dibblc he con-
tractcd another plural marriage with
Margaret G. Shipp, with whom he
has ever since lived in the habit and
rcpute of marriage. 1t docs not ap-
pear that lie held her out as his wife
before January, 1897, or that before
that date she held him ont az her
husband, or that before that date
they were reputed to be husband
and wife.
"That these were generally known
in Utah, facts charged against him
during his campaign for election
and were not denied by him.
"That the testimony bearing on
these facts was taken in the presence
of Mr.. Roberts and that ho fully
cross examined the witnesses, but
declined to place himself on the wit
ness stand"
Chairman Taylor says the report
Of the committee will be made on
Saturday and that the subject will
be taken up in the horse next Tues
daY.

Free Mail Delivery Matters.
a Washington special says: Represent
tativc Stokes believes in cuualizing the
postal system. He is hard at work on a
bill extending free delivery of mail to
towns Of over 5000 population. For
towns Of less than 5000 ho proposes that
the government shall furnish lock boxes
free of cost to tho property holders.
While he thinks that this is not doing
full Justice to the small towns, it is
something in the right direction. lie
says that the rural delivery service is ex-
panding beyond the expectation of the
most enthusiastic friends. He looks for
at least 4 $50, 600 increase to be included
in tho urgent deficiency bill for the pur-
pose of extending the service between
now and the end of the fiscal year.
Some of the daily papers announce
that DIR. Jas. II. Carlisle, President
Of Wofford College, will retire from
his presidency after the present
scholastic year. DR.. Carlisle is one
of the ablcst men in the State, one
of the most successful educators in
the country, and a man Of the high
est character in every respect. lie
is really great man and his useful
life has been a noble example to
young and old, and he has been the
inspiration of hundreds of young
men who are to be found in every
vocation, all over the country. The
bare announcement that he will re-
tire from the Presidency of Wofford
will cause general regret, and the
suggestion that it carries, that he
finds it necessary to begin to tighten
the work and throw off some of it's
burdens, will cause pain in many
hearts, not only among Mcthodists,
who love him devotcdly, but also
among the people of every religious
denomination and those who do not
belong to any communion. DIR. Car
llslc has done great work as Prcsi-
dent Of Wofford College. We all
honor and love him. .---Baptist Courier.

THEY DISAGREE
As to the Policy to Be Pursued
With Reference To
Trusts.

(News-D democrat Leased Wire Service.1
Washington, May So.-The caucus Of
the house Democrats, last night, was not
entirely harmonious on the antitrust
question, as several from the northern
cities indicated by their talks they
would not be bound by its action. The
trouble appears to have arisen over the
resolutions that were adopted. The de-
cision Of the Democrats not to support
the constitutional amendment proposed
by the Republicans and the bill accom-
panying it, on the ground that the Re-
publicans are not sincere, took well
enough with the western and southern
members, whose districts were reason
ably safe, but some Of the members
from New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Ohio are reported to have
vigorously protested, as they hold that
1t will be difficult to carry their dis
tricts even If it is charged that the Re-
publicans are not sincere in what they
offer the country to curb the power Of
the trusts.
On the other hand, those who die
tated the resolutions finally agreed to
contend that in opposing the Republic
can plan and recommending support
Of the Littlefield bill, the people will
conclude that the Democrats are more
sincere that their political opponents.
