quality as brick or stone , and fire proof.

- Apremeditated and fatal affray trans

which the people of that town arc ter
ribly agitated. The difficulty , it ap

with turpentine. ' ! : : • ; t.t. . was laid to
Geo. Macfarland , a young drayman ,
whom , it is stated , Richards set forth ,
duly armed , to shoot for the alleged of
fense. The parties shortly afterwards
met on the street , when followed the
charge , denial , hot words , the fatal
shots , ( the drayman was shot twice
through the stomach , ) and the death
struggle , in which Richards was quite
badly hurt by the desperately wounded
man. Dr. Z. L. Kay of this city was
summoned to the bedside of the dying
man , who was then , beyond the skill of
a human physician , he passing to his
final account , early the following morn
ing. Richards was brought to Indian-
ola for safe keeping , Monday evening ,
to await the results of his shooting.
Yesterday noon , he was again taken to
the scene of the crime , a hearing was
quickly had before the county judge ,
and the prisoner returned to Indianola

nn accident. A numlicr of citizens rcpulred jf
to tliu scene , just beyond tiic point whero tho 3
Kearney branch leaves tho main track , and it 3
was found that tho passenger , No. 1 , had col-
lided with freight No. 120 , coining oast. Tho g
two trains pass at this point dully. Tho forco II
of thu collision was not very great , for though a
tho pussengcr wus going at usual speed , tho
froight had stopped , having perceived tho
dangorlu time. The train men jumped and
no ono was hurt with tho exception of tho
engineer nnd mail agent of No. 1 , who woro
slightly lamed. Tho passengers woro shaken
up , butnoduinagowasdono. Thotwoonginos
were locked togothor , tho headlights demol
ished , thu smoko stack of tho freight broken ,
and tho forward truck and cow-catcher of tho
pussengcr broken off and lying under tho en

broken through tho ond of tho mall car , and
the two woro drawn off together. Tho remain- \
ing cars containing tho passengers Were not |
dnmuged. Two freight cars were jammed |
together , and this was tho extent of tho injury •

To Soldiers and Soldiers' Heirs. 1
From my experience in prosecuting Sol- } |
diers' . Claims against the Government , from j
1SC2 to the present time , I know that thcro
are many soldiers who contracted some sick
ness 1 or received some injury or wound whilo
in j tho service , and many mothers and fathers ,
of 1 soldiers who died in the service or died *
after ; discharge , of disease contracted or in- j
juries or wounds , received while in the ser- j
vice , and many widows and minor children J
of soldiers who died after discharge , of dis- j
ease , contracted or wounds or injuries receiv- ;
ed while in the service , are not aware that <
they \ are entitled to pension under our Pen- |
sion Laws. And to all such 1 will say , you ;
you are just as much entitled to a pension as *
the soldier was to his monthly pay , while ho
was risking his life to save his country. k
Many ] soldiers , who are now drawing pen- t
sions , are entitled to an increase. In letters \
of inquiry send postage stamps. Address E. is
