 Miss Williamson and Brown left the church accompanied by the young brother of Miss Williamson. As they neared Miss Williamson's home, walking along the public road. a shot was fired from ambush, and both Miss Williamson and Brown fell. The shot tore away the lower part of the face and lacerated the shoulder of the young woman. She died instantly. Brown was only stunned. He regained consciousness and fired two shots with a pistol at the fleeing mur- derer.
 The alarm was given and the whole community was aroused. About one year ago, Grover Brown and young Allie Sis co had a difficulty near the scene of the murder and Brown shot Sisco, inflictine a wound from which Sisco has never re. covered. The quarrel was over Miss Will | Hanson.
 A warrant of arrest was issued for George M. Sisco, the father of Allie Sis l co, charging him with the murder. Or | arriving at his home the sheriff learned that MT. Sisco and his ramily had left for Livingston county to visit relatives. The sheriff left at once for Livingston | county.

Washington, October 23.-Justice Har- Ian of the United States supreme court, who is a member of the faculty of the Columbia university law school in this city last night interferred and prevented a clash fight between the freshmen and sophomores. Justice Harlan is a giant in stature and although 69 years of age, he Is still vigorous and active, golf being one of his daily exercises The young sters were no match for him when he ent cred the arena. The anticipated con- test was the result of the announcement of the freshmen class that it would hold is first meeting last night in Jurispru- dence hall This announcement acted as a suggestive challenge to the sophomores to break up the meeting if possible. Af- ter the regular lecture of the evening the first year men undertook to open their meeting when the sophomores made a charge against the door of the hall At this point Justice Harlan appeared and in commanding voice ordered the combat cease. The sophomores paused for mo- ment but were evidently not disposed to obey the order for they immediately be- gan second assault It was then that the eminent jurist took a personal hand in the fray. He reached over the heads of the assaulting party and seizlng the leader of the forces by the collar drag ged him from the pile.

 HARD ON MILAN
SAYS HE DEFlEs HIM AND HIS CINCINNATI PAPER-HE ALSO TAKES A SHOT AT LEWIS G.. BARNARD.

Cincinnati, October 23.-Mayor Tom L.. Johnson of Cleveland who is recognized as the democratic leader in Ohio this year, and the probable oponent of Sena- tor Hanna next year and a candidate for the presidency in 1904, created a sensation here tonight by attacking certain ele- ments in his own party, especially John R. Mclean, both individually and as the proprietor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and Lewis G. Bernard as Chairman of the democratic committee of Hamilton coun- ty.
 When Mayor Johnson was introduced he discussed the recent curative act passed by the legislature, and denounced both of the Ohio senators for securing its passage. He mentioned by name all of the eight democrats in the legislature who voted with the republicans for the passage of the curative act for street railroads and charged repeated that they got their price,
 Mayor Johnson discussed taxation and other questions, but would revert at diff ferent times to the Enquirer and MT Mclean He charged the Enquirer with publishing that he came to Cincinnati as disturbing agent He said he pitched his tent here to preach the Gospel of reform and cast out the money changers He had no poodle for anybody He said he had reserved this speech to make to MT. McLean's old home, and not from a distance from his paper and neighbors, and after repeating over and over his charges he said:
 T not only challenge, but I also defy MT. Mclean and his paper"
 After reviewing at length what he termed as treachery in the local organ ization, he said:
 T do not name Lewis c. Bernard, be- cause he is not big enough to mention"
 Mayor Johnson entertained the audi ence some time in answering questions. some of them being direct reflections on the party management in Hamilton county.

Alabama Senator Thinks the Governor of Pennsylvania Could Have Settled the Strike and Should Have Done So.
 He Does Not Like the Commission Idea

public opinion to enforce the findings Of the commission. The members of this commission occupy highly responsible poe sitions and the personnel is excellent.
 "The truth is that the state of Penn sylvania should have settled this strike. The state could have done so within twenty days. If Governor Stone believed he had no warrant of law. he should have called the legislature in extra. session to supply this law. If the strike trouble had occurred in Delaware the governor of that state might just as well as said he would not call the legislature in session to consider the strike for fear that Ad- dicks would be elected to the senate. It is not the place of the federal government to intervene in these matters. I hope the commission will reach a happy solution of the difficulty, but the proceeding Is undoubtedly a bad precedent

 U. s. OF EUROPE IS NONSENSE.

 The Boersen zeitung expresses the hope that MT. Carnegie will 'let anti quated Europe alone to work out It's own salvation
 The Post, though saying the idea is ut terly chimerical, thinks they could car ry out the project
 The Lokal Anzeiger says:
 ''The only way Germany can make head against the American danger is for Emperor William to continue his en- ergetic influence in developing the coun. try economically"

TROUBLE WILL SOON BE ENDED.
Dawes Commission Says Ratification of Treaty Is All That Is Necessary.

Washington, October z5.-The Dawes commission appointed to treat with the five civilized tribes, says that if all the pending agreements should be ratified by the tribes, practically all necessary au- thority will have been secured for the complete administration of the five es- tates entrusted to the commission, an end diligently sought for nearly ten years. The report says 1t is impracticable at this time to render final decisions in cases involving the right to enrolment of cit izens by intermarrlage of the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes. The conclusion is announced that the bitter anti-allottment sentiment of the Indians has now largely yielded to reason and time, and the five tribes are fairly upon the threshold of a new era.
