Tofma, Kas., July L Mrs. S.
Wood bu written a letter to one cf th.
" newspapers be giving au account of th
murder of her husband at Hugotoi
Stevens oountr. laat Tuesday. Mrt
Wood' version of the killing coincide
with other reliable report io so fares
it aLowe that the attack oo ber hus
band waa made while hia back w'
tamed and that all the wound were in
hia back and aide. Mr. Wood Rived
lobg circumstantial account ct the mur
der and slate that he haa evidence in
her poeeaaion that the death of hei
hnsbaod waa the result of a conspiracy
by his enemies to get him out of the
war. She aoonaea Judge Botkin of the
Steven county district, against whom
Mr. Wood caused impeachment pro
ceeding to be brought in the last legis
lature, and County Attorney O'Conner
whoa election Wood was contesting in
the state supreme court, with being the
3bief conspirator. James Brennan, the
mufdeier ehe aays waa only their will
ing tool. In support of bar theory of
eonapiracy Mr. Wood recite the fol
lowing incident: "A littes son of ex
Judge Njsh aaid in the preDce of Mr.
Fleming of Ulyaaea as we drove into
town. "There coma Sam Wood and
they are going to kill him today." A
girl quickly told him to keep still, that
he wsa talking too much. In conclusion
Mrs. Wood says: "I havs not the slight
est hope that any of the murderers,
whether ia offioial or unofficial stations
will ever be brought to justice. But I
do know and thank God that His etern
al justice never fail. I ahall try to be
patient and strong. I can only hope
and pray that the time may swiftly
com and that we may not be sundered
long."
1 Governor Humphrey took the Wood
murder case out of the hand of the
local authorities of Stevens county and
ordered Attorney General Ires to pro
ceed there at once and take the case in
hand.
Stroko City, Rah, July L The
friends of the late Colonel Wood, who
accompanied hi body to this plac
where the funeral occurred, are
wrought up to a high pitch of excite
ment over the murder of their leader.
They are wry reticent regarding the
action they will take concerning the
murder. They say, however, that if
Murderer Brennan receives a fair und
impartial trial no blood shed will fol
low. If however, the trial is a farce, ns
they believe it will be from the fact
O'Connor, prosecuting attorney, od
Judge Botkin, the judge before whom
the case must be tried, were both (Le
bitterest of Wood's enernies, then vbe
courreof the law will be interfered
with and a determined effort wiil be
made to mete out summary justice to
the murderer.
Om Huudrcd Penes Killed.
Loud!, July 2. A letter just re
ceived from Sierre Leone says that the
vigilant supression of the slave trade
along the coast, and the consequent in
ability of the warlike races to dfopise
of their captive at a profit has caused a
revival in the most temb'e form of
alaugbter and bloodshed which former
ly made every chief town of tba inter
ior a Golgotha. Cocbaasie, it ia said,

many a ICO victim in one day and the
dead drum ia heard in the streets even
more frequently than before the Hritibb
Ash an tee expedition, when-it was hoped
such scene were put to and end forev
er. The-savage Wangarua 'recently
made a raid into Dsgomba, completely
devastating the village and carrying ol
2,000 captive. They were unable to get
rid of the prisoner and slaves, and lu 1 !
a sacriticial feast, which laated for
three days, in which every captive per

Fiom the forty second to the forty

tbe four Parnellite delegates to thi

Redmond, John O'Conner and Henry
Harrison, had a bitter conflict and hence
tbe sudden departure of Harrison fir
his native land. Before be left he and
Redmond and O'Cooter roundly de
nounced O'Kelley and he bore away
with him to Parnell a letter containing
tbeir opinion ot th man in whose
charge they were sent to enlist sym
pathy for "the uncrowned king," in hi
evil day. O'Kelley' alliance with tbe
John Devoy party oauaed tbe trouble,
tbe other delegates claiming that tbia
connection waa tbe reason for their
failure everywhere they went.
Mr. and Mrs. Parnell will leave Eng
land about the middle of August for

I I had just leii married, and it is
needless to say that I excepted the
firm's ofier, at the same time arranging
to have my wife accompany me on the

I "1 have a favor to ask of you, apt

' senior partner, when we were alone,
! "and I rely upon your honor to keep

' on:
j "My daughter Evelyn has lx-eome

I i,-r . tiiken the matter to heart, and
I have decided to send her out with
you on a voyage, in hope the change
of scene and the companionship of
your wife and yourself may bring back
the roses to her cheek. Anything you
can do to assist in making her forget
this wretched infatuation will be ap
preciated." 1 had little faith in my ability to
cauae Miss Kvdlyn to forget her lover;
besides, as 1 had just entered the mar
ried state myself, I could hardly be ex
pected to sympathize with a plan for
the separation of two loving hearts,
but I promised to care for the ship
owner's daughter as far as wis in my
power, and the interview terminated.
The following morning my wife and
I went abaard the Norseman, which

nine o'clock Mr. I iirlingame and his
daughter came aboard. The latter
was a handsome young lady of twenty
two years, but her sweet face was pale
and sad, and although she said nothing
It was evident that the thought of leav

and a vibhpered admonition to "take

After we were well under way all
hands were called aft to choose watches.
As the crew filed by, one of their num
ber, a fine looking young fellow attrac
ted my attention.
"Who is that young man';" I asked
pointing him out to Mr. Everson, my
chief mate.
"Kenneth Gardner; he shipped as
carpenter's mate," w as the reply.
Just as the crew ranged themselves
in a line a little abaft the mainmast
the ladies came on deck and walked
forward to where I wasstanding.
As I turned to greet them I was
startled by a' scream from Miss liurlin
game, and tbe next moment 1 was
holding her limp form in my arms. She
was at once taken below and soon re
covered consciousness; but could give
ao explanation of her fainting lit
We were scarcely two weeks out be

with her situation aboard the .Norse

She went all over the ship, some
times accompanied by my wife, and
sott'etimes alone. (Several times I no
ticed her in conversation with the car
penters mate, and my curiosity being
aroused, 1 walked forward one day and
got into conversation with him.
I found Gardner an Intelligent fel
low, possessing a surprising familiari
ty with the rules of navigation and all
matters pertaining to the merchant
marine. I thought it a little singular
that a man or bis intelligence and ap
parent ability had no better position
than that of carpenter's mate on a
merchantman, and told him so.
His reply was that his limited re
source had prevented his gratifying
in any ouier way nis passion for trav
eling and seeing the world. The ei-
planation was not satisfactory, but a
wok into ttie handsome, manly face
convinced me that whatever his reas

The orders for shortening sail were
rapidly executed, and in less than
wenty minutes the Norseman was ail
snug fore and aft. In the meantime
the horizon became overcast with a
heavy bank of copp-r colored clouds In
the thirty years 1 have followed the
sea I have never s-cn the elements ar-
r.iv lu a more terrific line of battle
than they wi re at 3:M of the afternoon
of September 15, 1h70.
The hatches were carefully battened
down and the watch sent below to se.
cure what rest they might, while I
paced the quarter h-ck, restless and
iineiy. 1 lie breeze gradually died out
and a dead calm ensued.
The ladies came on deck and chaffed
me for shortening sail.
The barometer continued falling,
and 1 again ordered all hands ralh'd.
A line of foam was approaching on the
starboard beam.
"Hard a port!"
"Hard a port, sir!" responded the
lelnisman.
I seized my trumpet and gae my
orders.
"Haul up your courses."
The command wait promptly execut

They were too late.
"Down for your lives! Down!"
The tidal wave struck us on our port
quarter, breaking over the poo; deck,
accompanied by a fearful gust of wind.
Away went our courses, and the top
sails were literally blown from tin
bolt ropes.
I looked for the ladies who had lieen
standing on the quarter-deck. Merci
ful heavens! they had teen washed
overboard, and t aw their agonized
faces half a ship's length to leeward.
With a yell to lower away the star
board boat I plunged into the sea, as I
rose to the surface I heard a cool voice
beside me
"Cheer up, Cap'u we'll savo them

I glanced over my shoulder and saw
the carjienter's mule.
It seemed as though Providence had

By the time we returned to the ship
the cyclone had broken upon us in all
its fury, nnd for three days we drifted
at the mercy of the storm.'
On the morning of the fourth day
the wind and sen went down, the
damage to the Norseman was ooifklv
repaired, and we stood away for Mel
bourn. Upon our arrival Kenneth Gardner
asked for his discharge, which I could
not well refuse him. A fter the papers
