From the coachman's talk I learned
that the first indication of trouble had
come about q half-hour before, when he
and the family were awakened by the
report of a shotgun, followed almost i'm
mediatcly by a pistol shot
He slept in a room over the barn, but
had run over to the house and reached
the side porch before anyone in the house
had appeared. He found old kaufman
lying face down, dying, on the porch
floor. His shotgun lay beside him, and.
further away. a pistol, which he sup
posed must have been dropped by the
burglar. When I got TO the house it vas
all lighted up, the women were upstairs
screaming and going on, and two or
three neighbors. attracted by the shots,
were just arriving. The poor old banker
was yet where he lad fallen. and nobody
seemed to have the nerve to take even
second look at him. l made everybody
stay in the mouse, got a lantern and
stationed the coachman at the front gate
TO keep newcomers from tracking up the
snow.
"One Of the first things did after max
ing sure that kaufman was dead was to
examine his pockets. His watch, good
gold one, was in his vest, which was un-
buttoned as if he might have hurriedly
thrown il and his coat on. He was fully
dressed even to the lacing of his shoes.
/ remembered about the $500 which he
was in the habit of carrying in his inside
vest pocket, and looked for it. II was
gone. The pistol ball had entered his
forehead, which was powder-buTned.
looked for tracks in the snow and found
only the single trail of the coachman as
he came from the stable and those of
a fox terrier, Kaufmans. which was now
following me about in the yard. AS most
OF the snowfall had come since midnight
1 began 70 be mystified about the burglar
how ne had come and how ne had gone
Then I looked about for signs of the
single discharge of the shotgun, and
found the shot had imbedded itself in the
side OF Heckburg's house. just across the
lawn from Kaufman's porch.
The neighbors began TO tell yarns
about Notwithstanding tTamps' having
been seen, and of course the next day
papers played it for a mysterious muir
der. which was battling the whole police
department ! got charge OF the case,
and was stin at work on it when the
kaufman family moved away to town.
All I found from them was that poor
papa had been up late that night search
ing the house for some paper he had lost
two days before and that since his loss
he had been much worried.

1.-The judge"

After several weeks OF preparation
the great legal luminary, Ezra @.
Novels, in last weeks Sparks under.
took to annihilate the editor of the
Register in an article under the head
ing, "The Judges Reply" Whether
this bit of aattery to himself was OF
his own make, or whether like the
noble Patterson he never writes his
own headlines, we are unable to state.
"The Judge" alleges that we did not
stick to the subject at hand, and then
gets far out of the way to throw an
uncalled for and wanton insult at in.
nocent parties by claiming that GER
tain other attorneys are no better
professionally than he is.
He also alleges that we grin and
sneer at him. Certainly, aud every
body else in town grins when "The
Judge" begins to quote what he calls
the law. And it raises a sneer on
every face when professional Office
holder like "The Judge" who has
been nursing public teat of some
kind ever since he came here until
last month, begins to pirate about 9th
ers not knowing how to let loose of
office gracefully. He evidently had
a bad case of sour stomach which he
mistook for grace.
The charges we published against
"The Judge" which he declares are
false as Satan, were made on the
strength of his own statements, and
if he wishes to call himself Satan, it
is not for us to deny the fact
"The Judge" has chosen to ignore
the fact that it has been repeatedly
shown that Mr.. Leslie is still resi-.
dent of the district from which he was
elected, and tries to crawl ont of the
hole by making the matter person,
al one. We might in this connection
show the lofty interest he displayed
in Prowers county's welfare when he
lobbied with the late legislature to
induce them to bring an expensive
suit against the county; or year ago,
when drawing good salary as the
county's attorney, he proposed to the
commissioners to collect some &C.
counts he claimed were due the coun.
ty, if they would give him as extra
compensation one. half of all he col
lected. But why waste space when
all know that it would be easy to fill
columns with public acts of his which
would raise either sneer or grin.

Attorney General Post and Platt
Rogers have issued statement for
the benefit Of those who are scared
about the Kansas water suit, in which
it is shown that even should Kansas
win no attempt is made to attack the
rights Of any ditch now in use. The
object of the suit is to stop the build
ing of new canals and the appropria-
tion of any more water. The suit is
not likely to go against Colorado, but
it is a great gain in seeking immi
