BLOODY WORK OF MICHAEL KELLY
AT LEAvENwORTH, KAN.
Killed One Man, Probably MOrtaIly
Before He Was Killed Himself.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, July A-Michael
Kelly, an insane man, to-day at the office of
the Robert Garrett Lumber Company, in
the business district, shot six people, killing
one, probably fatally wounding another and
more or less seriously wounding four
others He was himself finally killed by Of
ficers who tried to overpower him. The
victims:
JOHN r. GARRETT, aged forty years,
Junior member of the firm of Robert Garrett
Lumber Company. died at hospital
MICHAEL KELLY, aged thirty, died
after being taken TO police station.

JOSEPH FALTHAGER, policeman, shot
in hand, wound slight
IKE HEALER. laborer at lumber yard.
shot in hand wound slight.
Kelly had lived in Leavenworth for years
and at different times had engaged in minor
business enterprises. He was eccentric. and
during the presidential campaign in 1896
lost his mind entirely. At that time he
was arrested for creating disturbance,
and later threatened to kill Garrett. He
was arrested and adjudged insane, Garrett
and four others testifying against him.
After year in the Topeka asylum Kelly
was released He had been acting queerly
again and had declared that he would kill
the five men who sent him TO the asylum
Daily for two weeks past he has been prac-
ticing shooting with revolver at the Fort
Leavenworth range. Last night he drank
heavily.
To-day, shortly after IL o'clock, he ap-
peared at CARROTS Office, and. without
warning, shot Garrett as he sat at his desk
Garrett fell in the doorway and Kelly
shot him four more times. in the left breast
through the liver and twice in other parts
of the body. Kelly then ran TO the rear
of the companys lumber yard and began
reloadng his revolver. Presently he re-
turned and found DR.. MCGEE bending over
Garrett. Kelly, from outside the window
shot DR.. MCGEE in the back and he fell near
Garrett.
Then followed an exciting street fight
between the madman and policemen. Kel-
ly dashed through the lumber yard, met
hand. A few yards farther on he encoun-
tered Police Sergeant Dodge. \The two ex-
changed shots as they ran. One bullet
from kellys revolver struck Dodge In the
shot Kelly in the shoulder. Kelly kept
on running and was soon confronted by
Detective Mcdonald and Officer Fail
scheager. Mcdonald dropped Kelly with
a bullet in the neck. Dodge raised his re-
volver but IL failed to work and, catching
up with the murderer. he crushed his skull
carried to the station unconscious, dying
soon after his arrival. Garrett never re-
gained consciousness and died in an hour
after being taken to the hospital. DR. Nc
Gee, il is believed, cannot recover. Dodge's
wound is not considered fatal and the
wounds OF the others are slight

REBELLION in 0SCEOLA
ALL TEE PEOPLE OF AN ARKANSAS
TOWN SAID TO BE UNDER ARMS.
One Faction in Possession of the
Courthouse and the Other, 5000
strong, on the Outside.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July A.-Osceola,
the county seat of Mississippi county, is
under armed nsurrection on account of
Governor Davis having revoked the COM
missions of Sheriff Sam Bowen and Circuit
Clerk G. S. Driver and appointed j. A. Love
well and J. w. Rhodes, respectively. TO the
positions. Commissions were forwarded by
Attorney c. T. Coleman. Of Little Rock,
but Bowen and Driver took possession Of
the courthouse, supported by a crowd of
determined followers. principally from
Luxora, and refuse to vacate. The court
house is barricaded. Practically the en-
tire town is under arms. Rhodes and Love-
we'll have a following OF probably five
thousand men. Serious trouble has been
avoided since last Saturday only by the
active efforts on the part of those who
would preserve the peace. An appeal is
to be made TO Governor Davis to put the
county under martial law
There is much excitement and many peo-
pie are leaving the neighborhood The
lynching of an alleged negro murderer last
Friday. ten miles from Osceola, after he
had been taken from one of Sheriff Row
ems deputies, has added TO the excitement.
lJpon his return tonight from Lonoke
county Governor Davis stated that he had
received no advices indicating a threatened
had nothing to say concerning the report
of prospective trouble there. The Governor
stated he had not been appealed 10 from
any source TO place the county under mar
tial law. A few days ago Governor Davis
revoked the commissions OF Sheriff Sam
Bowen and Circuit Clerk c. S. Driver. and
issued commissions to John A. Lovewell
and j. I. Rhodes, respectively. At the cleo
ton. last September, Rhodes ran for clerk
and Lovewell for sheriff. what was
called the Independent ticket. Driver ran
for clerk and Bowen for sheriff
the Democratic ticket. The returns
showed Driver and Bowen were elected and
they have held the two offices since. 4 con-
test was instituted i'm the courts and the
County Court declared Lovewell and
Rhodes elected. The Circuit Court held TO
the contrary and on appeal the Supreme
Court of Arkansas July 13 sustained the
County Court and remanded the cases.
Governor Davis theroupon revoked the COM
missions OF the incumbents. Driver and
Bowen, IL is said dispute the authority OF
the Governor to revoke their commissions
Feeling runs high. The principal grounds
upon which Lovewell and Rhodes contested
the election were alleged fraudulent and
corrupt practices of election officers in
Fletcher township.

The information that Admiral Schley'
letter asking for a court OF inquiry had
been received by Secretary Long soon
spread through the Navy Department, and
not since the recent war days has one
theme excited such general attention Con-
greSs in 1895 established the principle that
no court-martial could be held two years
after the occurrence under investigation.
This is known as the naval statutes Of
limitation and while il bars a courJ-martial
relating 10 the Santiago campaign, it does
not bar the court Of inquiry. Ia this case
the court OF inquiry would be effective only
in esta blishing records and would not be
