The old man rep2oached him for be-

an intimate friend of both the Shurbas

friendship for them that he presumed
to take the boy to task for striking his

The boy retired to the back part of
the saloon, apparently entirely cured
of his quarrelsomeness, but while
there, as it afterwards proved, he re-
moved the blank cartridges from the
32.revolver he had carried all day and
filled every chamber with bullet car
tridges.
In few minutes Shurba advanced to
Harmonack and without any warning
drew his revolver an 4 fired four shots,

The trial of the Chicago & Alton
railroad and it's two former officials,
John N. Faithorn and F. A. Wann, for
paying rebates to the Schwarzschild &
SulzDerger company at Kansas City
was begun before Judge Lands of the
United States district court at Chicago.
The railroad company does not attempt
to conceal the fact that it did pay the
S. & S. company refund OF one dollar
car on shipments out of Kansas City,
but it is the claim of the railroad at
rebate.
The inquest at Salisbury was a pro-
longeI and tedious formality which
utterly failed to give any idea of the
cause of the accident. No questions on
that point were asked and the subject
seemed to be avoided-a strange pro-

ent, but which is thought to be due to
the queer Journalism that seems char
acteristic of such cases in Great Bril-
tain.
