An issue Of the Daily Post Dispatch,
published at St. Louis, on Tuesday last
contained the following item, which as
one of the principal actors, Ralph Nc
Fie, is very well known and liked, in
this city, will prove Of inter est 10 the
readers of the New Mexican generally:
"ArseniO, a fanatical lake-dwelling
Moro, ran amuck in the village Of the
lake dwellers on Arrowhead Lake this
afternoon with a murderOus kriss in
his hand. II was only because a United
States revolver was at hand TO stop
him that he did not satisfy his craving
for white mems blood.
"A spear, dance was being given in
the theater in the Moro village, on the
shore of the lake. Ralph McFie, who
was directing the performance, noticed
that Arsenic was sulking and ordered
/ him to dance. Arsenic refused. Nc
Fie spoke sharply 10 him and tried to
make him dance.
arsenic, who IL a vicious fellow,
flew into a violent rage. Shrieking
Moro oaths, he ran out Of the theater
and TO his hut, out over the waters Of
the lake.
There was an audience of $50 per-
sons in the theater. They thought II
was a part Of the play and applauded.
McFie knew better. He ran in one di-
rection as fast as Arsenic ran in the
other. He procured revolver and re-
turned in time to meet Arsenic as he
was starting to cross bamboo bridge,
coming toward the theater.
Pointing the revolver at Arsenic,
McFie commanded him to drop the
kriss which he had obtained at his hut.
"He was told in Spanish that II he
did not his head would be promptly
blown off. He looked at the revolver
an instant and then sullenly threw down
1 the kriss.
"The weapon, knife two feet long,
keen as razor on both waving edges,
was taken out of his reach bv another
Moro.
"McFie called on the peacable MOrOi
for assistance and they fell upon Arse
MO. overpowered him and bound him.
"He is not popular with the rest Of
the men in the village and they want
to behead him, which is the usual way
of dealing with such offenders at home.

nFUR MONEY" CAUSED DISSEBSIOA
Frank Kunz 5roush Suit Against
George Mckay and Wife.
Special to the Evening Journal.


Dover, Aug. 16.-"Fur money" has
been defined as marsh rent in a spirited
trial before Magistrate Satterfield.
through Referees John c. Hopkins,
William G. Postles and Henry L. Smith.
The trial was so peculiar in its nature
that a crowd which completely blocked
the sidewalk. was attracted.
Frank Kunz. the tenant Of a marsh
farm, brought suit recently against
George Mckay and Jane Mckay, his
wife. owners Of the farm, to recover
500 "fur money" Through his attor-
lney, r. H. VanDyke, he showed that
the farm was a sort Of game preserve,
containing hordes of little animals
valuable for their furs i'm the Philadel-
phia markets, and when Mr.. and Mrs.
Mckay sent trapper on the farm to
pitch his tent on the marsh and catch
the older animals. Kunz protested for
one-h half the money which was realized
| from the skins taken.
An agreement was finally reached to
divide the fur money. Kunz taking one
fourth. the McKays one-fourth and
Walker Warner. the trapper was to get
n full half The trapper had good
year and soon had the outside of his
shack covered with pelts drying in the
sun. Kunz today alleged that his one
fourth share was S99. but the Mckays
through their counsel, Josiah o. VOL

NEW LIFE INSTALLED
bob" Reynolds Again Unearthed by
Down State Democrats.
Special to The Evening Journal

speciai to The Evening Journal.
Dover. Aug. 16.-The name Of Robert
REYNOLDS as a candidate for Governor
seems to have installed new life into the
Democrats of this section and an ac-
tive campaign is predicted should he be
nominated.
Bob" Reynolds is the man whom the
Democrats dug up when the who.e
State of Delaware seemed lost to them
in 1894. and who led them to victory by
defeating the candidate for governor Of
the united Republicans, Harry A. Rich
ardson, one of the most Influential and
popular men in Delaware.
Reynolds Immediately dosed up hik
affairs at home and went out campaign
ing, visiting every farm house in Della
ware and every town that he could reach
in the short campaign period. His
house-to-house campaigning together
with his effective work at the head of
and in the counse,s of his party, won
him a decisive Victory. He is still vlgor-
Gus, active and anxious for another po-
liticai battle.
The difficulty about another Reynolds
campaign however, which confronts the
Kent county leaders is that the whole
thing seems to show the clever hand OF
Judge David 4. Marvel, who has been
brought out as a candidate for governor
and whose candidacy the Kent county
leaders propose to fight, tooth and toe
nail. Marvel was Governor Reynolds
Secretary Of State, and the governor be.
came so attached to him that he appoint
ed him to the bench.
a. A. 81 TO fftrnf affff
Reynolds Marvel boom, the leaders have
plannel for an early county convention
and have called one for August 30. The
organization is back of DR.. W. F. Hoey
the present chairman whom they pro.
pose to keep in charge, but the whole
| fight will be determined at the conven
tion, which selects "a new county com
mittee.
