were made, and hat Ely was to be
planted" there until he found a good
opportunity to escape.
Yet Morrison and the cattle buyer
had beer life long friends, ard Ayers,
if he was to choose any one man more
friendly to him than another, would
have selected Morrison. But Morrison
saw his chance and his wicked mind
could not be restrained by mere bonds
of friendship.
The night of the assault a dismal
rain and cutting wind, almost binding
all who CHANGED to be out, kept nearly
everybody in the village indoors.
Ayers had played his usual game OF
cards and was on his way home. Nor
rison's men spotted him, signalled
Ely, who was lying in ambush, and
when Ayers came to the designated
spot he found w big guns thrust in
front of his face.
Ely was behind them, well masked.
'Your dough, please" was all the &C
complished stick-up man said.
Ayers reached for an o~ld-fashioned
Colt revolver that be had, by mere
chance. put into his pocket before
leaving home. Afterwards he said
that Morrison's admOnition made him
suspicious.
AS he pulled the gun there were two
sharp reports as streaks of flame
poured from the barrels of the guns
Ely held. Ayers fell with a groan.
The noise of the shooting attracted
people of the town, and in a moment
or two several were hurrying to the
scene.
Flight of the Murderer.
Ayers had fallen in such a manner
that his wallet, filled with bills, could
not be reached and Ely was obliged
to scud away in the darkness, leaving
the PROSTATE body of Ayers to be found
by the villagers. fastening to Nor
rison's barn he found that arsonist be-
side himself with rage.
why did you shoot? Why didn't
you belt him we the head?" he asked
Ely.
Shut up, you fool, l had to shoot
or he would have got me-" Ely replied,
coolly; land what's worse, l didn't
have time to get the money"
Morrison, cowardly even in crime,
wanted to leave Ely to his own fate.
The Kansas City crook, however, was
too old at the business. "You got me
into it, now get me out, Or there'H be
somebody else beside me sent up for
this little job" was his admOnition,
and it was up to Morrison to furnish
the assistance.
With the help of a farm hand who
afterwards confessed, Morrison rail-
roaded Ely several miles away, where
he was to remain for a week or two,
but a posse of indignant citizens
pressed too closely on his trail and
immediate escape was necessary. Flee
ing before the officers and farmers,
Ely's escape, as subsequently described
by himself, was one so hazardous that
he does not to-day know how the
shower Of bullets sent after him failed
to end his life. With the horses push
ing him to his utmost he came upon
a farmer, driving peacefully along the
road. stop or I'll shoot" he yelled.
The farmer pulled up. Paying no at

terror OF so years, during which time a

Huntsville. March 3o.-(Special. )-- Bloodhounds in charge of Deputy sher- if Boggs, of Decatur, were today placed on the track of the men who cracked the safe at the Kelly Station postoffice and the dogs went direct to the home of two farmers named Martin.
 Both men have been arrested charged with postoffice robbery and will be brought here tomorrow for trial be- fore a United States Commissioner.
 One of tho brothers followed the dogs and after they went to his home they turned on him. The other man was followed into a group of men in the vicinity of his home. The authorities are confident they have the right men.
 The trail of the robbers was about thirty-six hours old. and in following it the dogs disclosed the place where the stolen letters had been rified.

HAYTIEN DISORDERS.

Maintain Quiet.
 Port au Prince, March 30.-Provoked by Haytien soldiers. some scenes of disorder occurred in the market streets this morning, but were quickly sup pressed by the police.
 The government has decided to main tain order and has taken great pre- cautions. All the troops are consigned to their barracks and 1t is believed that in spite of the excitement among the people against the Syrians, that riotirg will be avoided.
 President Nord has issued an order to vigorously suppress all attempts to piIlage. All the Syrians have closed their stores and those who are Amer ican CT French citizens, or British sub jects have hoisted the flags of their re- spective nationalittes over their resi- dences and stores. The latter will re- main closed for several days. The Syrians believe they will be able to reopen for business April 1, hoping that the excitement of the populace will have calned down by that time, but the hostile attitude of the people against the Syrians leads to the rear that grave incidents may occur the day they reopen their stores if the measures taken for their protection are not sufficient. The news that an Amer lcan warship had been ordered to this port has produced q good impression among the members of the foreign col- ony,

Dime Novel Reading Responsible for Bloody Deed by James A. Logan, Jr,, of Chicago-Receivcs
 Life Sentence.

Chicago, March 3o.--Dime novels paved James A. Logan, Jr.s way to the penitentiary. according to the boys confession to Judge Barnes who today sentenced him to the Joliet prison for life for the murder of Mrs. Della Tracey in Hyde Park, February sA
 The Roman courage of the sSyss father in surrendering his son to the police when he learned he had com mitted crime for which he might be hanged was commented on by Judge Barnes.
 The 17-year-old colored lad received a good education. His father and step-mother are religious and sent the boy regularly to church and Sunday school.
 Clandestinely young Logan bored over the tales of sensational crime in yellow back literature. When his shoes wore out and he was out of work he decided to put dime novel methods into operation and secure the money for new footgear as highwayman. He stole revolver from the owner of his fathers fiat and fared forth upon the night expedition which re- suited in Mrs. Tracy's death.

 Paris. March So.-Chancellor Won Buelows speech in the Reichstag yes terday on the subject of Morocco has not provoked any commotion here. The officials, press and public discuss the matter calmly and it was not mentioned in either branch of Parliament today. X mi-of1cial statement in The Temps says:
 If Germany makes known her point of view through the usual diplomatic channel 1t will be assured a satisfac- tory answer There is no thought of the question getting beyond diplomatic limits, although the prominence Ger many is giving to her Moroccan policy arouses resentment In some quarters.
 Dispatches from Tangier give elab crate details of the preparations being made for the reception of Emperor Will liam. who is expected there tomorrow. The Sultan of Morocco has sent a spe- cial embassy to Tangier to present Arab horses to the Emperor.

CAUSES IRRITATION.
English Papers Arc Annoyed at Yon
 BuelOyv's Idea.

London, March 31.-The editorial ar ticles and dispatches printed in the London newspapers this morning, all most all refiecting a certain sense of uneasiness almost amounting to irri- tation at the idea, based on Chancellor von Buelow's speech in the Reichstag on March 29 that Emperor Williams visit to Tangier has a distinctly polit- icaI motive. The subject was also much commented upon in the Hobbies of the Houses of Parliament yesterday.
 "Russias eclipse is Germauy's oppor- tunity" crystalizes fin sentence the general idea prevalent on the subject. It Is suggested that Emperor William. far from desiring to irritate France, wishes rather to emphasize the dimin- ished value of the Russian alliance and thereby persuade France of the advis- ability of a rapproachment with Ger many. At the same time those least inclined to cavil at the German Elm peror's action, admit that 1t is calcu- lated to stiffen the Sultan's resistance to French policy in Morocco and so retard the civilizing scheme involved in the Anglo French agreement
 In this light the usually moderate Daily Telegraph says the Emperor's visit to Tangier can only be regarded as an unfriendly act Other papers are inclined to doubt the wisdom of Em- peror Williams policy. which they think is more likely to result in strengthening the AnElo-French en- tente.
 Much satisfaction Is expressed at the exchange of visits which Is being ar ranged for the French and British fleets during the coming summer. The initiative in this demonstration of friendship Is said to have been taken by the British government and in Paris dt seemed to be hoped that the visit of the British squadron to Brest or Cherbourg would be the occasion also of a visit from King Edward or some other of the royal family to Paris. Nothing, however, has been done in this latter direction.
