Two COIored Men the PartiCi-
pantS-0ne in MOTgue and
the Other in Jail.
Especial to The HeraId.)

Cheyenne, Wyo., June 2S.-Tilfoad
Ashford is dead and Harry Allen is in
jail charged with his murder, and all
because of a worthless mongreI dog.
Allen, a colored vender Of hot tamales,
called at the saloon of Ashford, also
coIOred, at o'clock yesterday morning
accompanied by his dog. After several
drinks Allen made his dog perform
tricks. and during the performance the
dog jumped against the bar. Ashford
was behind the bar and demonstrated.
The dog repeated the trick, and Ashford
demanded pay from Allen for the dam
age. Allen refused to settle, and Ash
ford walked across the street and re-
ported the matter to the police. Return
ing 10 the saloon he elected Allen, and,
it is said, assaulted Allen with brass
knuckles, whereupOn Allen ran out and
into the hands of the police.
Returned With a Gun.
Allen was later released with the ur-
Outstanding that he would go to a sur
geon and get his wounds dressed and
return to Jail, but instead he went home,
secured an automatic revolver and re-
turned to the Ashford saloon. Meeting
Ashford in the doorway, Allen emptied
his gun, five shots taking effect in Ash
fOrd's body
Several persons. including the police
and William Ashford, a barber, and
brother of the murdered man, witnessed
the shooting. The dying man was taken
IN Barnett's automobile to st. Johns
hospital, but died before he could be
placed on the operating table
Allen claims Ashford abused and as
saulted him without cause and that he
had to kill Ashford to save his own life.
Ashford has been prominent in polit-
lcal circles among the eolored popula-
ton for many years, and has held num-
erOus positions at the state capitol, had
charge Of banquets, etc. He leaves a
widow and three children. Allen came

Pittsburg, June 2S.-Twelve hours of
parley between Mayor Magee and the
striking motormen and conductors end
ed tonight in no results. As expressed
by the mayor, the situation remains IN
changed.
The tWO-day-old strike shows signs of
violence. Riots broke out in more than
one car barn during the day. At two
places shots were exchanged by the pO-
lice and strike sympathizers No one
was wounded.
Detectives in Hands of Mob.
The county detectives narrowly
missed death, however, when a crowd
around the Rankin street car barns at
tackled fourteen nOn-uniOn workmen.
The detectives attempted to pacify the
lighting men. The crowd then devoted
its attention to the detectives, and after
beating them numerically dragged
them to a nigh bridge over a ravine
near the car barns and threatened to
throw them over the rail if they refused
to promise TO keep out of the clashes
between the breakers and the
friends of the strikers. The timely ar
rival of the police saved them.
RiOting broke out in the downtown
section early in the afternoon. A mob
around the Heron hill car barns placed
distractions on the car tracks. The pO-
lice dispersed thp TiOteTs anu removed

Attorney General Refuses to
Send File Relating to Trial
of Dr.. E. B. Perrin.

Washington, June 2S.-Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham refuses to send to the
senate the file in the department of JUS
tice relating to the trial Of DR.. (. 3.
Perrin, charged with conspiracy TO de
fraud the government in California tim
Der land cases. This data was demand
ed in connection with the nomination
of Robert T. Devlin to be United States
attorney for the Northern district of
California. The senate committee on
judiciary today decided to put over the
DevIn nomination until the next regU-
lar session of congress
1t would be ''ineXpedient' to supply
the information. reported Mr.. Wicker
sham to the committee, as the Perrin
case is still on the docket, subject to
retriaI. Several members Of the COM
mittee today expressed dissatisfaction
with MIR Wickersham' response, espe-
cially as Assistant Attorney General
Harr had reported to former Attorney
General BonapaTte four years ago that
Perrin should be dismissed. The com
mittee decided it would not be wise to
become involved in a controversy with
the department of justice at the present
time.
Recess Appointment.
Reappointment of Mr. Devlin will be
necessary if he continues to serve as
district attorney after the present ses-
sion adjOuTns.
Members of the committee assert that
the information will have to be pre-
scented if President Taft reappoints Dew
lin during the recess of congress and
the nomination comes before the COM
mittee for action next session. Devlin
prosecuted one case against Perrin,
which resulted in conviction. The su-
periOr court reversed the case and re-
manded it for a new trial on grounds
that perjured testimony had been ad-
mitted. The chief opposition TO the
confirmation of Devlin relates to his
failure to bring an action against the
alleged peTjured witness
Members of the senate committee
have criticised former Attorney General
BonapaTte because he ignored the rec
concentration of Mr.. Harr that proceed
ings against Perrin be not pressed. The
same criticism is now directed against
Attorney General Wickersham, as il
appears that he sympathizes with the
attitude of his predecessor. Members of
the California delegation declare that
Devlin unquestionably viii be renOm-
mated by Mr.. Taft

April 26, 90
We Sheppards folks are dce-lighted
to learn that there will soon be a
macadam road from Wilbourn's to
Farmyille, and if wc had the say SO in
the matter we would continue the stone
road to Shcppards, Curdsville, and on

roads are being repaired to some eN-

would by a large majority vote for "a

building and our next legislator
must satisfy our desire for knowledge
on that subject before the election.
We read in the papers about the
horrible crime committed in the Wcs-

are much better acquainted with

FARMING IN IMMATURE.

We gather from an exchange that
right in the center of greater New
York, the little boys and girls have
fallen i'm love with farming, and are
SO absorbed with the work that they
fail to heed the call of the luncheon
bell The work is done on small
scale, but we doubt not is well done.

thickly populated section of New

than one acre, has for the second sea

plicants for every farm. They love

suading them tOquit, during the plant

i'm charge of this play farm say that
IL has proved "A great source of health
and happiness 10 the children. And.
while it is not particularly meant to
be instructive, il reallyi instructive. 80
This may be but the plaything of
the children of the rich but if the
object lesson should have the effect of
inducing the suffering poor of the
great city to 90 out to the broad acres
of the country that await their tend

come prolific of glorious results.
