just as the former fred, and she
was shot in the back.

and ran, while the latter opened
fire. wounding the fleeing desper-

ing in "nrsuit, and near that
place Hart, who had intended

JOHN A. LEI RESIGNS.
Lieutenant Governor Asks His Crit
les N Enemies to Forget Mis-
takes Made In Office.

st. Louis, April 27.-John A. Lee,
Sunday afternoon, mailed his resigna-
ton as Acknowledgements of the
state of Missouri to Gov. Dockery.
After mailing the letter he said:
"a desire to retire from political
life and personal publicity has promt-
ed my resignation. Now that I am
just a private citizen l hope that my
enemies and critics will forget some
of my faults and mistakes and try to
remember, if possible, some of the
things that l might be commended
for. If one has failed to fulfill public
requirements, end has made an error,
it seems to me that when he volun.
tarily relinquishes all claims to Office
and honor, and sets out to make what
ever reparation he can, he should at
least be permitted to continue to live.
I feel that my effort to reform abuses
in legislative matters has brought up
on me troubles that I could have
avoided by a policy of silence and con.
cealment, and that my determination
to do right, and refusal to be deferred
therefrom, has brought about my pc.
litical downfall"

small station eight miles east of Pop
lar Bluff, between RUDE Hayes and

at the same time declaring he would
whip Hayes, but before he could get
off the wagon Hayes raised a single
barrel shotgun and fired. The con-
tents of the gun struck Jones in the
breast. What words or actions fol-
lowed is not known, further than that
