OUR NEIGHBORS.
BROOKFIELD.
IN MUSICAL CIRCLES.

In the Town hall, Brookfield Center, on August ?, Robert Bruce Pegram gave his second lecture on the "HiStOry of Music" He spoke with interest o1 the music of the Hindoos, Greeks and Medieval church, with special empha. sis on the various nOtatiOns employed. The next lecture on August 10, will consider the beginning of modern music as seen in the influence of Ara bia as we'll as in the beginning of opera. The concert which followed the lecture was given by Miss Purves, MT WoOlsey and J. Edmund Skiff. The latter was an unexpected pleasure. He is an old pupil of MT Greene, who being in the neighborhood, came over for the day, and kindly consented to sing, though totally unprepared therefor. His voice is full of sympathy and fresh- ness, but with not much reserve power. His solos were given with much artis- tic feeling, and promised we'll for the progress he will make in the four years which he expects to spend studying in Germany.
 l Miss Puryes, of course, was most cor dially received. Her popularity is on a sure foundation and grows daily.
 MT Woolsey sang better than we have heard him yet, giving Hush Song," by Alice Needham, with ten derness and repose. He also appeared in new capacity, that of cornet player. His "Bonnie, Sweet Bessie, 7" and ''Swanee River'' quite brought down the house. His cOrnet playing is side issue, but one which has given his friends here on dark nights, great pleasure.
 On Saturday next, August 10, an- other lecture on Musical History, will be given, followed by concert, in which Miss Marjorie Collins, of Whis- confer Hill, and Miss Edith Haywood, another of last years favorites, will partake. The rest of the program will consist of single and double quartets, with duet or two.
 Owing to the illness in the rector's family, there was no service in the Episcopal church on Sunday. This gave the Episcopalians an opportunity to hear the music in the Congrega- tional church, and they thoroughly enjoyed it, especially Miss Dickson's $ solo, which she sang with so much taste and simplicity.

DESPERATE KILLED
Desperate Named McPeak Killed by
Sheriff Goodall and Deputies Of
,=1
Stark County.
Feeling Running High Over the Mat
ter of Horse Rustling-Barnett
-Four Years.

Word comes from Dickinson that
as an incident to the boldness of the
horse rustlers and the frequency and
size of their operations, a desperate
named McPeak was shot and killed
by Sheriff Goodall and his deputies
and the body of the man, shot full of
holes, was brought into Dickinson
Saturday night. Details of the affair
are meager, but from information re-
ceived here, McPeak is a rustler, who
has given it out that he would not be
taken ny the officers The sheriff and
a posse went after him, and in the re-
fusal of McPeak to surrender he was
shot and killed. A coroner's inquest
is being held upon the body this after
noon.
There is a bitter and widespread
sentiment through the western part
of the state against the rustlers who
have grown so numerous and bold
that the stock of no man is safe on the
range Horses have been run off by
the carload and sold, and determined
effort will be made by the authorities
and the stockmen to stamp out the
rustlers. The killing of McPeak is
taken as an incident to show the de-
termination to put an end to rustling.
Walter Barnett, alleged to have
stolen horses and sold them, was tried
at the term of court last week and the
jury yesterday brought in verdict OF
guilty, after being out all night. This
morning Barnett was sentenced tc
four years in the penitentiary. At
torneys Register and Hughes de-
Tended Barnett. The main point in
the case was a bill OF sale of the horses
to Barnett, and the testimony of sew
eral handwriting experts was taken
as to the signature of the bill of sale
A stubborn defense was put up, but
the jury found Barnett guilty.
It is stated that there are other and
important disclosures soon to be made
that will serve Ito show the extent to
which rustling is being carried on
and a determined effort will be made
to bring the rustlers to justice and put
an end to theft of stock.
