Murder at Winslow.

Winslow. Ariz., Mar. 12.-The most atrocious murder in the history of this community oc. cured this afternoon when In- dian Jim, a full blood Navajo Indian, murdered his wife and two daughters. in the most hor. rible manner, beating them to death with club.
 The crime was committed at the home of the family, a few miles from Winslow. About 5 o'clock this afternoon a son of Indian Jim came riding into town, badly frightened, ,and bringing the news that his father and murder ed his mother and two sisters.
 A posse was at once organized by Marshal Henly to go in pur- suit of the suspect. The posse first rode to the scene of the crime and found full verifcation of the boys story. They found the mother and her two daugh- ters lying on the floor in their own blood, having been killed by blows from blunt instru- ment, supposedly a club.
 The boy says that his father sent him away from the house to get a horse. When he return ed he found the bodies of his mother and sisters, and the fath- CT gone, having taken the rifle with him, He at once rode to town to spread the alarm.
 Indian Jim is we'll known here, having lived around Winslow for several years. What was the motive prompting the crime is not known. The murderer has taken to the broken country where hiding places are numer- ous and will probably avoid cap- ture for some time. Marshal Henley and posse are on the trail.-Journal-Democrat.

Washington, June 2S.-The third

asked the witness if all the trouble in
the Philippines was due to Aguinaldo.
Il won't say that the admiral replied,
but will repeat that if we had 5000
troops at Manila May / the city could
have been taken possession of. We
would have had at least at the time
no trouble with the natives. They

Aguinaldo betrayed his people to the

WHISKY ExclTEs PEOPLE.
corydon People Determined to Crush
the Evil.

Corydon, June Especial For
the past year agents for wholesale
whisky houses have been doing land
Office business in Corydon; in fact, the
business has become so outrageously
bad that the citizens have concluded
to take the matter in their own hands.
A rousing mass meeting was held in
the Y. NJ. G. A. hall in order to see
what could be done. A resolution
was adopted to petition General Man
ager Goodrich of the X. & W., re-
questing him not to accept liquor con-
signed to this point Over $500 was
raised in less than ten minutes to be-
gin the fight and there is plenty more
liz necessary.
The first move was made yesterday
when thirty-four gallons of whisky
was seized at the express office and
more will follow today. There are
ninety cases (400 gallons) of liquor
still left in the express Office and two
whisky agents were in town yesterday
taking more orders.
There is no talk of law-breaking but
the citizens are determined to stop
this kind of businesses and whisky
agents will meet warm reception in
this town in the future.
