Villisca, April 22.-An unsuccessful
attempt was made early the other day

Night Watchman Il. l.. Darnold was
making his rounds at ! o'clock this
morning he was attacked when near
the postoffice by a large man, who
sprang from hiding and grabbed him
from behind. Darnold tripped his OPP
ponent and threw him to the ground,
when a tussle ensued, in which the
night Waterman came out best, al
though stripped of nearly all of his
clothing. His opponent sought to es-
cape in fight, but was pursued by OAR
mold, who fired five shots at him, some
of which took effect, as a bloody trail
was found in the morning and traced
for a block or more, from which place
1t is believed a buggy conveyed the
wounded man.
This mans companions were engage
ed in ar attempe to burglarize the post
Office, and were just forcing their way
in when they We're frightened away
by the night Waterman. The night be-

During the cross examination At

other murders on Breen but the fact
swore that he had never shot or at

The grounds upon which The ques
tions were based were the rumors
which are current to the effect that
Breen shot and killed a man while
acting as mate or u boat in the Yu-
o river and also of having shot a
negro on the lower Mississippi. AS a
result of the questioning he went into
the details of bis life in the klondike
and also OF his experiences on the low
er Mississippi.
The defense also sought to establish
the fact that he was naturally a bully
and that he had much trouble during
his life, but he also entered a stout
denial of all the accusations Of this
character.
Regarding the language that he was
alleged to have used in his converse

a good alibi by stating that it was
against the rules of the company for

profane language and hat had he
used it he would have been liable to

NEW JOB FOR HENDERSON.
Said to Have Accepted Presidency O
Land Company.

April Zz.--OlOnef u. Is.
Henderson,, former speaker of the ma
ton house of representatives, has, ac-
cordfng to report accepted the presi-
dency of a land company at a salary
of $4,000 a year and will have his
headquarters in New York, at which
city he will make his home. A report
to that effect has been Sent out from
Washington, but the story does not bear
the confirmation of Colonel Henderson.
II Is doubted in some quarters, for when
he arrived home from Washington at
the close of congress Colonel Hender-
an offer of the presidency of a land
company which operated in Mexico, but
he would not consider the same, as. his
duties would take him ou! of the u
try and he was too old 4 man for that.
The Washington dispatch referred to
is as follows:
Colonel Henderson,, formerly speak
.er OF the house of representatives, has
accepted he presidency of a land com
pany which controls land in south
western Texas, southern California and
Mexico. His salary in his new position
will be $4,000 a year. The company
expects to have a good deal of business
in connection with congress and the
land Office and Colonel Henderson will
be in charge of his department. He
will reside in New York.
1T is understood that the offer first
came from General Dodge, of this city,
and that Colonel Henderson took some
time to consider it and consulted many
of his friends. He had been out of the
general practice OF, law for so long that
his future inethat direction was rather
uncertain and he finally decided to ac-
cept the offer from the land company,
is considered a liberal one"

tragic death occurred shortly after G
o'clock last evening, at the home Of his
grandmother, Mrs. Katherine Reese,
with whom he lived. Holding the muz-

in the studio of a penny photographer,
a few days before, the words produced
above had scarcely left his lips, before
the report of the revolver rang thru the

photo taken with the loaded weapon
pointed towards his face. Yesterday
he received the photographs n had
taken them to show to his grandmother.
Evidently thinking to make the i'm
preston more striking. the little fellow
took the revolver from his pocket and
pointing it towards him, called upon his
grandmother to look. Unfortunately,
the weapon was loaded and in some
name %accidently discharged. The
bullet entered the cheek under the
eye, following the optic nerve and
entering the brain. Young Reese's
