Foug bit Duel With Guns.

Washington, Ind, January 15.-
Owen Booker, a business man at
Plainville. seven miles north OF here,
was walking along the main street OF
the town to-day, when William Buck.
ley slipped up from behind and at a
distance of 20 yards fired a shotgun
at him. The shot scattered, but
Booker received the greater part OF
the load in his back and head. Book
er wheeled ABOUT, and, Jerking a
revolver from his pocket, commenced
firing at his assailant. Buckley ran
and Booker pursued him shooting
as he did so. All OF the revolver bull
let's went wild except one, which
struck Buckley in the right arm.
Booker finally overlook Buckley, and
a blooGy fight followed, Booker beat
ing and kicking Buckley into insensi.
bility.f Both men are badly hurt and
are under care of physicians. The
two men have been enemies for sever.
al years, and to-day's trouble was
no doubt caused by Booker ordering
Buckley out OF his place OF business
this morning.

Jndge Hawthorne Named.

Jefferson City, Jan. 16.-Governor
Dockery announced this afternoon
that he had appointed J. Fl. Haw-
thorne, of Kansas City, to take the
place of II. c. McDougal on the Mis-
souri, Worlds Fair commission. Il
was understood two years ago that
Hawthorne, who helped Dockery in
the Legislature, expected the place,
but the governor could not appoint
him at that time because he was q
member OF the legislature. Recently
the two Republican senators from
Kansas City asked for the appoint
ment of E. F. Allen and last nigh,
they supposed it was settled in theiI
favor, but to-day the governor de
cided otherwise. Judge Hawthorne
is fnmiliar with state affairs. HI
has been twice a member OF the lsgis
lature. He was chairman OF tn,
finauce committee OF the Republican
city committees in both the last two
city campaigns.

Democratic Chances.

The thirteen states composing the
solid south of recent years, says Les
lies Weekly, will have Isl votes in
the electoral college of 1904. This
leaves out Delaware, Mary land and
West Virginia, which has been car
ried by the republicans in most OF
the recent campaigns.
A majority OF the electoral college
of 1904 will be 800, the entire college
with the existing number OF states
comprises 476.
With New York's 80 electoral votes
and the narrowness Of the repub-
lican margin in that state in 1902
gives the democrats hope OF win
ming the state in the coming election
they would have 100 votes, only
40 short of the number required to
choose president.
New Jersey, Connecticut and lndl-
ana usually gowith New York, Mary
land is very far from being sure for
the republicans. The anti-Addickt
republicans made Delaware demo
cratic in 1902, and the unfortunate
factional fight is not finished. The
democrats led in, Rhode Island in
1902r
Nevada is likely to remain with tht
south a few years longer. Thes'
states, with New York and the sole
south, would give the democrats
I242 votes in the electoral college, o.
three more than enough to elect, 81
that they could lose either Delawar
or Nevada, il they carried all tn
others, and still win.
