O.TALHOT , ) The longedfor spring weather was ushered into this vicinity last Sunday , and since the warm rayi of the sun haH manifested its power to the entire satisfaction of every 0110. The farmers have oommuno < od seeding with a vim and in a Hhort time will regain the lost time occasioned by the lateness of the spring. Rov. J. R. Woods , of MoKcnzie , Tennessee , who was formerly a resident of this vicinity , writes lliat ho expects to return to Ouster Co. as soon ahis * school closes in the Hpring. Ho will graduate at the close of this term from the theolog ical college at MoKonzie. Ho ex pects to make preaching his busi ness and wishes to locate with some baptist church. Prof. Walsh , who is credited with being the greatest hypnotist of the ago , outo.trined small audi ences in this city Monday and Tuesday nights. All those who were fortunate enough to witness the performance wore highly enter tained and well pleased. The HmallnoHS of the crowds are atlribu table to the foko hypnotist that had proceeded him and to the fact that in the Methodist a revival mooting now odist church was in progress. Wm. Worth , of Callaway , who was in the city Tuesday , informs us that a son of Frank Moore , who lives four miles north of Callaway , was accidentally shot Saturday , inflicting a severe wound in the knee. He and a neighbor Boy of John Beechlen's ' were out with their cogs hunt ing. The boys claimed to have no fire arms with them , and tell that a stray ball from other par ties inflicted the wound , but the the opinion of some of the neigh bors is that the Moore boy had j revolver and accidentally shot himself. Miss Esther Uayou , toucher ii the Ansloy pohoois , who wa brought to the Broken Bow hos pital for treatment last Thuisday night , died Saturday nbout on o'clock. Her trouble was a tolo- ficopo of the bouols and an opera lion was porforrned with hope o extending relief. Her remain wore shipped to Aitftlcy whor funeral services were hold Monday , Rev. Hornaday , of this city offici ating. The decoRHodHwas a resident of Westorvillo , where her parents live. Sue had been engaged in teaching for a number of years and was highly recpected by all who know her. The dedication of the M. E. church Sunday in this city drew a large crowd. The other ohurohoa of the city dismissed their Horvioos for the occasion , and the several ministers participated. The ecr- raon both morning and evening waa preached by Dr. Hhillips , of liold- rogo. Ho is a scholorly and able speaker , and his immensu audience was highly entertained. The report - port of the trustees showed than an expense of $4,800 hud been made in oreoting the LIOUHO , including the grounds , of which $3,000 had been paid , leaving an indebtedness of $700 yet to provide. Plodgoa wore taken amounting lo $028 to meet it The ohun h is the largest and moat oo < > voniently arranged in the city , and is nicely u'nishud on the interion. The whole of the rooms are carpeted with ingrain carpet and partially seated witnpowo.Tho mem orial windows add very materially to the appearance of the interior. The M , E. brethren have reason to fool proud of their house of worship. . HOUUII MURDERED . Win. Hough , who hasbeon A resi dent of this city for several months , was shot and killed at Hyannis Init ? riday night It appears , from th lost information wo have boon able o gather , that Hough had boon t Wintiuan a day or two previous nnkiug nouostmrj ; nrraugoraonta to nit in a saloon. Having completed ho work of scouring the petitioner ! 10 , with iivo or six. others , drove to lyannis Friday afternoon , where heir time was spent , until evening , t the saloon , Hough wont to the lotel about seven and ordered super - > or for two. The others of his associates wont to the restaurant. Just as Hough entered the office 'rom the wash room ho mot , fpoe o face , his old sworn enemy , Fred Moffitt. Before he had time tb retreat Moffit shot him through the abdomen with a forty live caliber revolver , the ball panning through 'rom lott to right probably two nohoH below the skin. u Ed Carey , the saloon keeper at Whitman , who iad accompanied Hough to Hyan- nip , was with him at the hotel , and > rotoslod with Moffitt to desist , AI lough had no gun , but in aooma as f ho had started in to make a flu sh of it , and ho shot the second iinc , the bullet entering the loft side , passing out of the right aide well back. The shot waa fatal and lough tell in his tracks , expiring joforo the smoke olo.irod away. The men had not mot before that lay , nor was there a word passed jotwoou them at the time. Ru mors say that Homo two or throe years ago Hough and Moffitt had trouble and Hough punished Moffitt Hoverely by pounding him ever the head with a revolver. Whatayer may have been the difference be tween the men , it is evident that Moffitt had determined on killing lurn , and it oun bo nothing loss than murder in the first degree if oorreotly roportod. As yet wo have not boon able to learn the vordiot of the coroner's inquest. Hough's remains were shipped here Sunday morning and were taken in charge by Undertaker Woods , The body had remained at Hyannis a day and two nights but had not been dressed or even Inn shoes removed from the foot. Mrs. Hough , accompanied by Mrs. F. R. Crablo , wont to Hyannis Friday night on receiving word of the tragedy , re turning with the body Sunday morning. Monday morning she accompanied the remains to La Mars , Iowa , where Hough's parents reside , for burial. Ed Carey , of Whitman , also wont with them. The deceased was without means , and the citizens contributed the money to send the remains and Mrs. Hough to their foimor home in Iowa. The deceased leaves a wife and throe chidreu , the older boy about eight and the youngest a girl about throo. The preliminary trial of Moffitt is sot for Friday at Hyanuis , where N.
