WAPIUXCITON- . C. , Dec. 12. Tho.first pun
in the speakership contest of the Fifty-third
congress has been tired by the Reform elnb
of Now York , and the battle Is now on. In
ono respect the declaration of hostilities at
this early stage of the session is favorable to
Speaker Crisp and his followers , as It tends
to solidify bis forces for the coming contest
and make future surprises Impossible.
At the opening of the house , almost the
only suDJecl of discussion among members
was the Reform club incident , and so signifi
cant was the matter Interpreted to bo that
interest in the episode rather Increased than
diminished as the day progressed. While
the slight offered the spcviker by his hosts
In New York may lend somewhat toprejudlco
the speaker's Interest throughout thu coun
try , there Is no doubt the affront has caused
a reaction In his behalf among the members
In this city. As It Is to the congressmen
themselves , who In the end must select the
speaker of the Fifty-third congress , the In-
- cldent appears , therefore , to have really
strengthened the candidacy of Mr. Crisp.
Tom .Johnson' * Tlrudr.
While the Reform club was in entire
ignorance In advance of the philllpic which
Tom Johnson of Ohio pronounced against
the speaker and Senator Springer of the
ways nnd means committee , tlio disiwsltlon
of congressmen is to consider Mr. Johnson's
utterances ami the discourtesy offered
Speaker Crisp by his hosts , as only part of
n plan which has Its origin out of congress ,
and which is the attempt of n Now York
dining club to dletato the speakership of
the Fity-third congress. For the first time
there is a dcsiro expressed for a list of the
membership of the "Reform club , " and Mr.
Coekran and others who have succeeded In
examining such a list , assert that at all
times the mugwumps and republicans are
able to control the destinies and policies of
the Reform club , and that.lheroforc , il is not
much of a democratic club after all.
There is n general impression in congres
sional circles that Mr. Cleveland and
Speaker Crisp have n thorough understand
ing as to the tariff reform course to bo pur
sued in the Fifty-third congress , ami that
the president-elect was in entire ignorance
of the intended slight to ho placed upon
Speaker Crisp , and , in his position as a
guest , powerless to prevent it , oven had he
suspected it After looking over the program
of the evening.
Tin-Speech Thill Wus N'ot Delivered.
Members are today comparing the speech
of Mr. Cleveland and the ono intended to bo
delivered by Mr. Crisp , and llnd therein re
markable accord on the methods to bo pur
sued iu the reform of the tariff. Speaker
Crisp's speech , however , had it been deliv
" ered Saturday night , would have shown
i "V that while in the present congress , with a
. . republican senate , ho favored the ten-
l ( tativo plan of separate bills , his opin
ion of the course to bo pursued
after next March , when the democrats
will get control , not only of both
brunches of congress , but the presidency as
well , is that the tariff should bo revised by a
general bill. On this subject bis speech
says : "The democrats in the present house
are determined K ) strike at the existing law
by seperato bills annulling its oppressive
features. This method possessed iwo great
I advantages over any other suggested. It
1 afforded a hope that some of the bills might
' pass , thus giving to the people partial re
lief , and il rendered it certain that in the
npproaehimr elect ion our adversaries will be
found defending their own general law.
"If I might speak for the policy of my as
sociates , I would say wo believe in a tariff
for revenue ; we believe that unnecessary
taxation is unjust taxation ; wo believe that
all taxation should bo for public purposes ;
wo believe that the necessaries of lifo
should bo burdened least ; wo believe that
on the luxuries higher duties may bo im
posed , and we belluvo that all raw material
should be free.
"Speaking to my political associates , I
would say , keeping the principles in view ,
we should now at the earliest practical mom
ent , enter upon the consideration of a gen
eral tariff law to take the place of that now
on the statute books. The people have so
dci-rced , and we are but agents to oxeeulo
their will. Great interests are involved ;
I i complicated questions will present them-
[ l selves. "
Crisp ItcM'rlvos an Ovation.
As the morning papers of today confirmed
previous reports of the slight imposed on
Speaker Crisp , and strengthened the impres
sion tlmt it was intentional and designed for
popular effect throughout the country , the
liouso itnelf took early and effectual means
to resent the Indignity which had been
offered Its presiding officer.
As the clock in the hall of the house indi
cated 12 o'clock nnd the speaker entered to
rap the house to order there was an instant
clapping of hands and as Mr. Crisp mounted
the stand the demonstration increased in
volume until il amounted to an ovation. For
nearly a minute the applause , which swept
over the entire house and was confined to no
faction and no parly , continued with great
vigor , the speaker's face flushing with evi
dent satisfaction and a smllo of gratification
stealing over his features.
When Hllenco was finally restored and
after llio chaplain's prayer , many members
mounted the rostrum and grasping the
speaker by the hand congratulated him upon
the esteem in which ho was evidently held
by the house.
It is doubtless a matter of great gratific
ation to Speaker Crisp that among those who
most emphatically condemn the inhospltallty
of the Reform club , are members who were
not oven his snpiHirters in the famous
Bpeakewbip eontesl. \
J MuMiiK Mini I'lli'inN.
'
Representative Crain of Texas , who was
mailo Mills' manager during the spcnkcrtdilp
light , today said : "It is an outrage , not to
Mr. Crisp personally , but to the speaker of
the house ami the house Itself. Mr. Crisp
was not Invited to tlio dinner in any but his
oulcial capacity , llo would novcr have been
invited if ho had not been speaker of tin
houso. llo was thorn as speaker of the
house. The Insult was to hla olllco and to
the houso. 1 have nil along been an anti-
Crisp man. 1 am now for Crisp , and will be
from this time forward. "
Representative Bailey of Texas , and many
of the ivpre.sontiitivo.s of the ( southern states
where the chivalrous conccplluii of hospital
ity amounts almost to a religion , are also in
dignant ttho \ treatment accorded the
speaker , and severe in their insinuations
njr.ilnst the gentlemanly instincts of those
who control the Reform club.
lion Bourke Coikruu of Now York says
the Incident Is the subject of considerable
merriment. " 1 have told Mm all about those
people at Chicago and other placed many >
times , " said ho to KOHIO of the southern con-
prosspien , "but you would never bcliuvo mo.
Why , during the campaign wo kept all thosu | |
people looked up In llio cellar from beginning "
to end. When wo took up ihu management
of the campaign In the state of New Yorli
wo refused to glvo thorn a sluglo appoint'
ment or chunco to speak. They would have
ruined ovorythlnj U ( hey | m ( | | mi .u . o
in the campaign. Vet now.when ovcrythint
is over and wo have won the battle , HICM
t'/X ) mugwumps come forward and want ti
read the COJ.OOO regular democrats out of tin
purty. "
I'oiull li > Opponent * .
Up to this time about the only candidate ;
mentioned ns possible opixmonts to Mr.
Crisp In the speakorshlp contest are Repre
sentatives Wilson of Weal Virginia and
Hrccklnrlilgo of Kentucky. Hynuin of In-
dlnna would doubtless bo much discussed
but for the impression that the speak M-
must como from the south , the president ami
vice president both being northern men.
Neither Wl ! on nor Hrecklnrldgo acknowl
edge themselves candidates in the fight for
speakership and the events of today have
hardly lipen such as to foster hopes In the
breast of any aspirant for the honors now
l > erne by the gentleman from Georgia.

WASHINGTON , D. U. , Dee. 12. If the nom
ination of Mr. McComas for the District of
Columbia supreme llem-h successfully passes
the opposition it will meet at the hands of
the democratic members of the judiciary
committee , it is certain to rim against a snag
In the senate , upon which It is possible U
may be hung up until after the -till of March
next. Democrats say that this Is not only
possible , but extremely probable. It Is be
lieved that the nomination will bo favorably
recommended by the Judiciary committee
and then the struggle will begin on the lloor
of the senate , and tbo exccutivo sessions ,
until the case Is disposed of. may be accom
panied by a dash of spice not witnessed since
tlio attempt to defeat the nomination of
Judge Woods lust summer.
' The opposition to Mr. McComas. " said an
influential democratic senator , "Is not di
rected against him personally , but Is occa
sioned by the pernicious principle his nomi
nation presents. Mr. McComasMIS one of
those who made a bitter light for the force
hill ; ho was Identified with the onjcction-
able measure from start to llnisb and his
nomination was the reward for the work.
The democrats cannot and will not stand by
and see the champion of such legislation as
that forwarded by political preferment ,
without at least a vigorous protest. Again ,
the case is Identified with that of Vice
President-elect Stevenson , whoso nomina
tion , made by Mr. Cleveland under precisely
slmlrir circumstances , was hlfng up by the
republicans. 1 do not believe the republi
cans can gather in all their votes for con
firmation , and 1 know the democrats will tea
a man vote against theconlirnu'tion. "
It is beltved that Senator Palmer will be
active in the Impending struggle ami that be
will endeavor to even up the rjeore and wipe
out the affront to Illinois' distinguished son
ot four years ago.
Singular Slate orAtV.ilrs.
A strtrular state of affairs in the circuit
court of appeals , embracing the states of
Ohio and Indiana , was developed today in
the United States supreme court , when a
motion was made in the suit arising out of
the operations of the "Young Napoleon of
llmince , " Henry S. Ives. in the cases of the
Cincinnati , Hamilton As Dayton Railway
company. Attorney Maywell wanted tbo
court to accept tbo record in the
case which is entitled "Tho Cincinnati ,
Hamilton & Dayton Railway company , ap
pellants , vs W. R. Mcl\can , " nnd heard in
the llr.st instance without its going to the
circuit court of appeals , created by an act of
the last congress. Ho stated that Judge
Gresbam refused to sit in the case , because
of an interest in its decisions , and that two
other Judges in that circuit were disquali
fied , and that the Justice assigned to that
circuit ( Ilarlnn ) was about to leave the
country , so that a circuit court of appeals
could not bo regularly organised therein.
Attorney General Miller , as counsel for
Mc.lf.oun , reinforced these statements , and
the court took the papers under advisement
reluctantly , the proceeding being contrary to
all its usage.

CONSIDERATION OF THE ANTI-OPTION BILL
CrtltloiK AguliKt ttio .Measure ItrcclM'il

fur u Diiy.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Dec. 12. The senate
pent three hours and live minutes In session
oday the live mimics being devoted to ex
ecutive business behind closed doors the
eferencc of nominations.
The anti-option bill made Its appearance
wice , the first time being when , at the clos-
ng of the morning hour , it was laid before
ho senate as the unfinished business , and
vhen , with the consent of its manager , Mr.
Washburn , it was temporarily laid aside to
illow another matter then under discussion
o be finished. H was evident , after nearly
mother hour , thai n conclusion of that
natter might bo delayed too long ,
Mr. Washburn interposed and said
hat the anti-option bill would again bo
resented for action. Then it was suggested
> y Mr. Harris , the president , thai llio bill
lid nol show , In distinctive types , the mcas-
ire as it came from the house llio amend-
nents already agreed to in the senate and
ho amendments that are still pending and
hat it could not for thai reason bo acted on
ntelligently. A new print was therefore
ordered , and the bill went over until tomor-
ow. after n remark by Mr. Washburn that
10 did not intend to bo stampeded or. allow
the bill to be unduly delayed ; and in that
ounpction ho read a telegram received by
ilm from New Orleans , stating'that It was
.ho purpose of the cotton spcculato'rs and
cotton speculating towns to huvo action do-
uyod until after the holidays to allow the
lealors to unload under the cry of a short
crop.
.Mr. Vest's nesoliillon.
The subject which occupied most of the
day's session was Mr. Vest's joint resolution
for the appointment of a commission to have
an agreement made with the live civilized
tribes of Indians for having their lands given
In severally and for opening the lands to set-
tleinent. The discussion was chlellv between
Senators Vest and Berry , who wore both
agreed as to the main object proposed , but
who differed as to some statements of fact.
The mailer went over without action.
Tlio judiciary couimitleo reported and the
senate passed a bill to punish nonmcmbors
of a ship's crew for aiding or encouraging
riots or disorders on the high seas. This is
merely an act in addition to the present law ,
which deals only with members ot crows.
Mr. Vcsl introduced a bill to encourage
the construction of electric railroads , to
promote the interest of commerce and travel
ami the transportation of the mails , to aid
in demonstrating the feasibility of tbo dis
tribution of electrical power for ngrecultural
and other purposes along the line of electric
roads and , especially , to aid in the construc
tion of the proposed electric road between
Chicago and St. Louis. Referred to the
committee on commerce.
The joint resolution authorizing the secre
tary of the treasury to appoint a temporary
register of tbo treasury was passed.
The joint resolution Introduced by Vest on
Tuesday for the appointment of a commis
sion to treat with the civilized tribes of In
dian Territory with a view to induce them
to tnno homesteads in severally , was taken
up and discussed.
Mr. PelVer advocated the joint resolution
and declared that Indian Territory was a
refuge for thieves , burglars and murderers.
Indlun Territory .lustIce.
Mr. Vest , replying to the remarks of Mr.
Berry in defense of Judge Parker of the
Fort Smith court , narrated the case of a
poor negro who had been tried in that court ,
found guilty and sentenced to bo hanged- for
shooting ono of n party who broke into his
house at night ( and who turned out to bo u
deputy marshal ) . The judge , however ,
charged thai the prisoner was presumed to
have knowledge of the official character of
the man who was killed. The case had been
brought to his ( Mr. Vest's ) attention , and
be had taken the record of the case to the
Department of J.ustice , where the petition
clerk Mr. Botellcr had recommended the
pardon of the prisoner. Ho ( Mr. Vest ) bad
then brought the papers to President Cleveland -
land , who had read them that same night
and commuted the sentence to ten years' im
prisonment.
A senator Ho ought to have been par
doned.
Mr. Vest Ho ought lo have been acquitted
in the lirsl instance or ho ought to have been
pardoned by the president. But Judge
Parker afterwards denounced the action on
the part of President Cleveland for Inter
ference with his Judicial authority and lias
since then denounced President Harrison for
interfering with ono of his sentences. That
is tho. kind of a court which is to give to Uio
civilised Indians of this country an Idea of
our mode ' of administering justice. Heaven
save us'from setting such examples ( those of
the slaughter house at Fort Smith ) to the
civilized or uncivilised people of this conti
nent.
nent.At
At 2 p. in. the morning hour expired , and
the presiding officer ( Mr. Gallingor ) in the
chair , laid before the senate as the un
finished business , the act defining options
and futures ; but on motion of Mr. Platl it
was laid aside informally to allow thodiscus-
sion on the Indian Territory resolution to pro
ceed.
A Disordered Stutit of.Society.
Mr. 'Vest continued his remarks in the
direction of showing the disordered condition
of society in Indian Territory , reading several
letters recently received by him in corrobor-
ntion of all Hint ho had said last week on the
. subject.
I Mr. Berry defined t1' " i-suo between him
and Mr. Yost us belli ; , ' v t'/hor or not the
dread of punishment now ovting among the
cutthroats in Indian Territory from tlio
courts at Fort Smith , Ark. , and Paris , Tex. ,
should bo withdrawn. That , ho said , was
llio only issue between them. They were both
equally In favor of letting the Indians hold
their land In savcr.ilty and opening the terri
tory to settlement. When that tosc place
then it would be right aii'l pnipeto confine
criminal Jurisdiction to courts wilhiu the ter
ritory. It was not a question of saloons and
boarding houses In Fort Smith and Paris , as
suggested by Mr. Vest , but a question of the
enforcement of the law.
Mr. Vest asked Mr. Berry whether ho
justified Judge Parker In making a stump
speech to tlio grand jury crillebing llio
pres > idejilfor exercising llio rigbl to pardon.-
Mr. Berry 1 think thai when Judge
Parker undertook to eriticUo the pestilent
of I ho United Stales for granting pardons ho
went out of his way and did that which a
judge should not do.
At this point of the discussion Mr. Wash-
burn intervened with the suggestion thai
the anti-option bill should be taken up.
Culled t'p Ihn Anil-Option lull.
The Indian Territory Joint resolution bill
was thereupon laid aside withoul'action and
the niiti-opiiun bill was taken up tlm ques
tion being o : the amendment made by Mr.
Dnnicl at the last session ( to strike out sec
tion 10 , formerly lili.
Mr. Harris criticized the manner In which
the bill was presented not showing In dis
tinctive types the bill as passed by the
house , the amendments as adopted by the
senalo and the amendments that arc now
pending and ho suggested a reprint , so that
the senate could act intelligently on the sub
ject.Mr.
Mr. Washburn replied to the objection ,
showing that at the last session , it ,
agreed that the rc-prlnt act. as , ,
I should bo considered as tj-.o oilginal act.
, Still , with the uiide''atafiuing thai there
, would bonodolir , , htT had no objection to
- the . bll bel j reprinted and going over until
U'hcro was u purpose , ho said , on
tlio part of the people Interested In defeat-
hid tlio measure to flo so liy delay. Tlmt
puriKWO had Iwcti announced publicly In tlio
newspapers nnd In other ways. lie tUd not

projwsttlon of delay for tlio bonollt of elass

pone the bill until after the holidays ; nnd
that that was done through no sympathy for
tlio producers , but under the Idea that exag
gerated nsjiorts of a short crop would enable
them to unload at higher figures.
Mr. White asked for the name signed to
the telegram , but Mr. Washburn declined to
give It.
The bill was , with the consent of Mr.
Wnshburn. ordered to bo printed lit the
manner suggested by Mr. Harris , and then
it went over until tomorrow.
The senate bill ro ] > orlod last session for
tlio allotment of lands among the several
Indian tribes In the Quo Paw agency in
Indian Territory and for the sale of the sur
plus lauds of such tribes , and for the crea

Mi'iubrrs , Irrnxprotho of Tarty.
WASIIIXOTOX , D. C. , Dec. 12. When
Speaker Crisp entered the house today and
took . thochuir there was a spontaneous out
burst of applause from all parts of the lloor
and galleries , a tribute of sympathy for the
speaker in his unpleasant connection with
the Reform club dinner.
Tlio speaker laid before the house n com
munication from the secretary of the treas
ury calling attention to the illness of General
Roswrans and transmitting a Joint resolu
tion iiuthort/itig the secretary to delegate
the authority of the register of the treasury
temporarily during the illness of tlio regis
ter. The resolution was passed.
The committee on military affairs reported
the army appropriation bill , which was re
ferred to the committee of the whole.
The committee on labor reported a bill to
prohibit the employment of convict labor on
public works , which was placed on the cal
endar.
Mr. Ciimmlngs ( democrat , of New York )
offered for reference a resolution reciting an
editorial in the Now York Sun of the JtOlh
nil. , bonded "Outrage by the Postolllcc. "
This editorial charges that clerks in the
department at Washington are in the habit
of excluding newspapers from the privilege
of being carried hi the mails as second-class
matter without previous notice to the pub-
ishers , and that such action is illekral ; and
'urther that it has been discovered there
vere persons residing nt the national capital
vho will attempt the adjustment of dlflicul-
ios of this sort for n money consideration
md seek employment on the score of infill-
Mice possessed with persons occupying re
sponsible positions.
"And whereas , " ' continues the recitation ,
'it is further stated in said editorial article ,
hat the ostensible reason for interference
vith the distribution of trade journals , is a
losiro to keep the mails from being loaded
down with advertising matter for which
.he people have not'subscribed ; yet during
the months that preceded the election ,
naiiy million campaign documents were
earritd in the mails at rales not allowed to
niblieations issupd for bu ' 'iess purposes , or
n the interests of such causes as temperance
relisrion " ,
or , u
"It is again rccitcu that inpnholdn ! itn-
> ortant ofliccs undo ! ' the administration have
i'eceived the same privileges permitted to
ampairn ; committees , but pronounced illegal
when ordinary citizqns would seek for them.
The postmaster general and superintendent
of census have each taken personal advan
tage of the opportunity to use the mails in a
nunncrtlmt the department has pronounced
.llegal for other citizens.
"It is resolved that tbo committee on post-
offices and postroads bo directed to investi
gate the charges above set forth and to that
end call before them Hon. John Wnmi-
: nnkor , poslmuster-genoral of the United
States and demand an explanation thereof. "
In the consideration morning hour bills
were passed to create an additional land district -
trict in New Mexico and to disposeof certain
iibandoned military reservations in Wyo

The court holds tlr.it it has no power to in

This opinion establishes the validity of

hat 1 left the Vatican convinced Mat the

At the * vat lean Mgr. SatolH's mission Is
ilollnud as an errand of peace. It Is admitted
that he Is aulhori/.ed to smooth a way over
o-xisUng dinieultios between priests and
bishops. His success gives the liveliest
satisfaction here.
The warmth which marked the welcome
extended to Grand Duke Serglus on the
occasion of his recent visit to the Vatican ,
mil the rumored intention of the pope to
issue an encyclical dealing with the relations
of the Greek and Latin churches , have
raised hopes not likely to bo Justified there.
It has long been the wish on the part of the
Vatican to see an end of the rivalry between
the two great branches of Catholicism , but
[ { tissla seems less anxious for tljo union. In
the opinion of some of the highest prelates
In the church , vast political changes will
hnvo to take place in Russia before Greek
orthodoxy and Roman orthodoxy will join
hands.
The Panama canal scandal has made n
painful impression in clerical circles. It
jnay not show the pope's devotion to France ,
but it has unquestionably deepened the
doubts of those prelates who , while .submit
ting lo the papal will in this as in other mat

Identify itself too closely with the existing

imploring it to stand linn in the faith.

M. Itourgcois. minister of Justice , declared ,
amid the cheers of tbo supporters of the
government , that ho desired the most com.- .
pletpaml searching light to bo thrown upon
the affair of the company. lie added , how
ever , that he and bis colleagues would op
pose the passage of any special law that
threatened to involve a possible conflict be
tween the executive , legislative and judicial
authorltives. In the course of his reply to
the interpellation , M. liourgeoisreitcrated
the statements in regard to the ministerial
delegation , among which was one affecting
the intention of the cabinet to investigate
and use every means in its power to eluci
date the mystery surrounding the affairs of
the canal company , adding , however , that
the government would not exceed the limits
prescribed by law.
The Chamber adopted tne proposals made
by Mr. Pouory ito Boisserin to invest the
Panama investigating committee , which was
appointed by tlio chamber , with judicial
powers. This action was taken despite the
opposition of M. Itourgeois , minister of jus
tice.

At today's session of the Panama investi
gating committee M. Sarricn , who repre
sents Saono-ct-Loire In the Chamber of

associate of Mr. Herz. He declared that ho
had not seen M. Her/ since 18S5 and that the
latter was no friend of his. M. Sarrien
added that ho would not hesitate to tell the

The committee examined an accountant
employed in the do Kcinuch banking house.
The witness declared that ho had never ntet

with M. Chantagrol , the Panama subject
was discussed and the witness spoke of the
price that was to bo paid for the conscience
of the members of the Chamber of Deputies ,
but declared that ho was only joking.

presbytery , in secret session , voted late this
afternoon upon the second and third charges
against Prof. Smith and ho was found guilty
of both charges. These are thocharges that
pertain to his views on inspiration. The
second charge was that his belief is contrary
to the fundamental doctrine of the word of
God and of the confession of faith when ho
maintained that the Holy Spirit did not so
control the Inspired wiiters in their compo
sition of the holy scriptures as to make their
uttteranccs absolutely truthful , i. o. , free
from error when interpreted in their natural
and intended senso.
The third charge accused him of teaching
nn inspiration of the scriptures In a sense
different from that taught by the scriptures
themselves and by the confession of faith.
These two charges were so nearly nliko that
it In said that the council argued them to
gether. The vote is said to ho : Guilty Jtfi ,

third : Guilty : r. , not guilty 2 .
In view of the close vote It Is surmised

the details of the foulest and most unpro
voked murders that havocverstnlned the an
nals of the slate. The story runs as follows :
O. W. Kumt , Daniel Sullivan and iwo other
men were playing poker In A. J. Caso's sa
loon , four miles mirth of Sherlilan , ono night
last week , when suddenly the door opened
and three masked men stepped In.
Ono of the men was qulto tall , whllu
the other two were comparatively short.
The tallest man and one of the others carried
Winchesters and wore six shooters. Al llio
moment they entered the room the tall man
yelled , "everybody hold up his hands , "
None of the people In the room seemed to
comprehend the order. They thought nt
first that some if the boys were playing a ,
practical Joke and supposing this to bo the
case ICuiiz asked , "what do you mean boyst"
At Ibis llio shooting began. Ono of the
men , not six feet distant from him , shot
ICimz through the left shoulder. The ball
passed upwards from the point of the
shoulder and. striking him on the nock ,
glanced off without'doing further damage.
Otlirr Shots Mure Acuuratp.
At the same time two moro shots were
fired , ono from the Winchester striking Sul
livan In the temple , killing him instantly.
He fell dead without moving a muscle.
Another shot passed through the wrist of n
boy holding up his hands in obedience to the
command of the robbers.
Case , the proprietor of the saloon , was In
a hack room asleep nnd was awakened bv
the shooting , lie came to the doorway bo-
nveon the two rooms. As he appeared in the
doorway the tallest of the thrco exclaimed ,
"that's the man we're after , " and applying
an abusive epithet to him , raising his Win
chester while speaking , shot ( . 'use , who foil
to the lloor. The thrco then ransacked the
place , taking what money they could find behind -
hind tbo bar and in Caso's room , besides his
gold watch. Sullivan's pockets were rilled
ofs'i'ill and a fine gold watch and revolver.
Case has been following llio B. & M.
grade all summer , running irvaloon and inci
dentally cashing time checks. As it hap
pened , ho made a deposit of his money the
very day he was killed. The murderers' stele
horses and started north. There is litllo
hope of capturing them. A party is in pur
suit , and if they are captured they will bo
lynched In short order.
