kill the woman.

by Justice Naughtin.
Deputies Sweeney and Hartigan went
out on the Louisville road. and after
no little trouble Chief Sweeney made
the arrest. The negro. who is a mu-
latto. had evidently expected a visit
from the officers and had BACKED his
face. Chief Sweeney sent a man down
the road and waited in ambush until
Durham appeared. The negro saw the
first officer pass and left his hiding
place in an opposite direction. He ran
into the chief deputy and was covered
with a revolver. Sweeney had the
drop on the negro. who had no chance
to resist. When searched a long-bar-

The First Sharp Pang Of Grief
Succeeded by CaImness.
TELEGRAMS OF COINCIDENCE
Salt Lakcrs Express Themselves Of
hcIally over The Sad Event
Moment OF LnivcrsaI adness,

salt Lake has settled into a calm
state Of resignation; for 1t knows now
what 1t must face. The intense ten
sion to which the nerves Of the people
have been strung for the past week
has relaxed and left the latter to their
silent helpless grief
In dealing this awful blow to the ma
ton, the anarchists could surely have
done nothing SO fatal to themselves.
In their mad career they have cut
down many great and powerful men
but they were In some instances rulers
whose tyranny engendered bitter hate
and their taking Off was sanctioned in
minor key among nearly all classes.
But in the staying of President McKln-
ley they coveted too great and highly
beloved victim, and now they will
have 10000, 900 outraged people to reck-
on with. Already the governor OF Utdh
and other state executives are talking
about the enactment of laws against
anarchy ana no doubt the next Con-
gress viii write into an memorable law
the spirit OF the nation in relation To
that mad creed, This land Of freedom
has had It's soil consecrated with the
blood Of three Of It's. presidents within
the last half century. The first to fall
was man who was sublime in his pa
thence, and the nation that idolized him
has tried to emulate that noble attri-
butte, But her patience, like the great
patience Of the mighty Lincoln has been
outrageously abused and the people
without doubt will now take stern
steps to provide against being imposed
upon in the future.
The feeling of sorrow over the Presi-
dent and the tenderest pity for his wife.
whom he so truly loved, pervddes every
mans heart today. Every one seen on
the streets is wondering how it is with
Mrs. Mckinley, for they can measure
bly, realize how poignant is her grief
there in the Milburn house.
What a grand thing 1t is," said a
man today, FOR this nation to have
had a ruler who recognized the hand
of the Omnipotent In his fatal misfOr-
tune and said at the last 1T is Gods
way" II bears sublime testimony to
the people of the United States, OF the
character OF the man that uttered
them ana the source from whence came
his greatness"

Such is the decision that has been ar

eating $4,000 to hold this carnival In
