SIMLA , Aug. 30. The Shinwari and Khal
police prata on the Samana range were at
tacked , evacuated by their garrisons and
burned by the enemy on Sunday night. In
addition the Orakzais on Sunday night looted
the Naralb , Samann bazaar and burned the
ochool. The Kohat pn a Afrldis are still
loyal. In spite of the Mullah's strenuous
efforts to excite their chiefs. They prom'se
not to oppose the Penhawarl trooro , who nre
marching on Kohat.
PESHAU'UR , Aug. 30. A strong force of
Afrldl ; . Ii is Just announced , hss closed the
Kohat pas * and the efore the proposed ad
vance of a column of Drltlth troops through
tint IKIM has been countermanded.
AVlth the Khyber and Kohat passeo In the
liand.i of the enemy the giavlty of the situ
ation h&B Increased.
A detachment of 'native troops under
Colonel Gordon was sent out from Peshawur
yesterday with orders to force the Kohat
pass If necessary and reach Kohut.
A dispatch from Simla this afternoon
announced that according to the information
received there the Afridis were still loyal
In splto of the Mullah's strenuous efforts
to exoitc- their chiefs and that they had
promised not to oppose the advance of the
column of troopa from Peshawur.
The Kohat pass at Its entrance Is com
manded by Fort Mukeuon. It runs through
A'rldt territory to the British post at Kohat
about forty miles from Peshawur. The
latter Is a strong military position.
It transpired that several of the native
olllecrs at Lundi-Kotnl showed the utmot-t
loyalty when that port was attacked. One
ot them who received a bullet wound In his
shoulder , continued despite his Injury to
fight , and encouraged his men until the for
was captured. The subadar who conducted
the defense of Fort Lundl-Kotal was killed
during the fighting. Among the attacking
forcey were two of his sons , while another
son fought by his side. The subadar who
commanded the Mullagon company , when
they entered the fort , collected his men
and gallantly cut his way through the rankn
of the attackers. He lost several men , bu
reached the road to Jamrud without the loss
ot a single rifle. It appears that only
small section of the Khyber rifles stationed
at Jamrud were disarmed. They were on
guard the night when the news of For
Lundl-Kotal was received and the officers
fearing that some of them might deseri
with their rifles , disarmed them.
The arrests at Quetta on August 24 o
three IJcluchlstan Scldars Is considered i
most Importnat event , for among them were
Mehrulla and Yarmuhamed , Instigators o"
the recent raids In that quarter.

Turkey. The payment , properly arrangei
could be made without any question of for

and merchants residing abroad Ehouli
combine to support the natlona

the powers. Of course- the money coul
ba realied at once on the prospect of the carl

Is greatly Improved by the. last proposition o
Lord Salisbury , which should show both th
Greeks and the Turks who their roil frlond

of obtaining the sanction of Kurope for the re-

Is charged with having murdered Mrs. Kate
Baumle at Arkoc , five nil'.eo south of Mnry-
vllle. October 2 , U9G , was placed on trial
for the second time , today. A special venire
of 100 men Is being examined , of whom forty
mutt qualify. This work will be finished

ckow will again appear for Rasco , and Prose
cuting Attorney John M. Daweoa will be as
sisted by Oallatln Craig of this cliy and ex-
Senator Mlko Moran of St. Joseph.
An attorney for Rasco stated this morning
that the dcfencs will be the same as It was
at the- trial which occurred In April. An
attempt will be made to show that Sheriff
P.xler Induced the boy to confess by telling
htm that his condition would be better d U
he did so , that he u.ed Iroguage wnlch im
plied threats of vengeance that might be
wreaked upon him If he did not , and that
after Rasco had confcrae-d , the .sheriff per
mitted nu one to see him alone until after
Mr. Ellison had been employed as his at
torney. It is hinted that new and s.enaa-
tlonal evidence will be tatroduced by Uie
prosecution.
REPORTS THE CRIME HIMSELF.
On the afternoon of Friday , October 2.
1800 , Hez Rasco. a IC-year-old boy , reported
et home that he had discovered the dead
body of Mrs. Kate Baumle In her home , a
mile ca.t of Arkoe , Nodaway county , Mo.
According to the boy's story he had gone
to the Ilaumle home to get a pall of water.
Hla attention wns attracted to the house by
n cmashed window in the kitchen. On ex
amining the preml&ea he found the doors
locked. Entering through trio window he
fouud. blood on the floor and the furniture
and every evidence of a desperate struggle.
He heard the voice of a baby from ujetairs
and following the sound came to a room In
which he found the body of Mis. Baumle.on
the floor , and the baby lying on the bed
crying. Its ffurments blood stained , but un
hurt , the solo wlturcs of the terrible crime.
Mrs. Baumle was still gasping for breath.
Her head was frightfully battered , and on
the floor by her lay the leg of a stove and
its hearth lid , which had been used by the
tnuiderer In his fiendish assault. Itasco
spread the alarm and the pursuit of the
murderer was soon organized. Sheriff Pixler
and Prosecuting Attorney Shlnabargar of
Nodaway county were active In the search
for the criminal and five days later took into
custody Hez Hasco. They had followed a
trail that led almost conclusively to him.
When ho was first arrested the boy was
closely questioned , but gave shifty and
evasive answers. Finally , however , he broke
down and made a confession. His story of
the crime thows the -murder to have been
a meet cruel and wanton affair , marked by
brutality almost beyond credence.
SHE ANGERED HIM.
Rosco said that on thai Friday afternoon
lie wcs working in the hayfleld ncai
Baumle's home. During the afternoon he
became thlrety and went over to the house
to get a drink. M's. Baumle was ironing
and had the door open when he entered the
yard. He went up to the house and went in.
She was preparing to churn and he noticed
they had a new churn. He said to her :
"Where did you get that churn. "
According to him , she replied , "What is It
to you ? "
"Well. I'll show you what It is to me , '
ho replied. She threw a smoothing iron at
htm , and this smoothing iron was afterwards
found lying on tbo kitchen floor.
Rasco's story Is that he then went out o !
the door. He was angry , and after he left
she slammed the door and locked It. He
at once picked up a rock and went back to
the house. He fired it through the screen
and window. This time ho did not hit her
Then ho picked up another one and threw It
through the window , this time hitting her
In the mouth. After he had struck Mrs
Baumle with the rock Itaaco tore the screes
from the window , kicked the lower IJghta
out with his foot and started to enter. Mrs
Baumle attacked him with a chair and at
tempted to keep him out , but he got In
took It from her and struck her with It
Then she picked up her babe and starlet
up the stairway. As she went Rasco threw
a stool at fier. Mrs. Baumle was by thia
time upatalre and barricaded In the south
room. He followed her and attempted to
enter , but could not. Then he tried to kick
the door down , but was as unsuccessful as
before. Ho then braced his back agalniSl
the door , pushed with all his might , and II
yielded. He entered , and as he did so picked
up a piece of otove hearth that lay on the
floor , and threw It at her. U struck her and
ehe fell to the floor. Here his story became
mixed. He denies having struck the woman
after she was down , but this Is not true.
There were over a dozen wounds on her face
and head that were not accounted for in
his statement. The fact seems to be that
ho stood over her dead body and beat her
until there was not left any pctalbility of her
living to make known who her assailant war- .
Rasco says that after he knocked Mra.
Daumlt * down he ( led from the house aniLraii
homo to give the alarm that somehouy iiad
murdered Mr * . Baumle.
Rasco was tried laet April on u charge of
murder and after one of the most sensa
tional trials en record the Jury disagreed.
It was the general oentlment at that time-
that Rarco had been saved from hanging
solely by the skill of the attorneys who de
fended him.

LINCOLN , Aug. 30. ( Special. ) Prepara
tions ore going forward for the big popo-
craUc convention which is to be held here
Wednesday , and the fusion leaders are out
with the assertion that the crowd will be
the largest that ever attended a convention
In the state. The hotels are receiving a
largo number of advance orders for rooms
and are getting ready for the rush. At the
fusion headquarters nnd at the state capltol
there is a little hum of excitement and
many secret conferences. As the time for
the. convention draws near the leaders are
wearing a more anxious air , and It is freely
admitted that the sailing for fusion will
not be entirely smooth when convention
day arrives. It is apparent that the breach
i
j between the democratic and populist forces
Is widening every day and the leaders of the
two factions are no longer on the close
and confidential terms that characterized
them come time ago. Ono of the prominent
populists , who has In the years pant held
a high olllce and Is now occupying a position
of trust , is giving It out that Chairman
Edmlsten of the populist committee Is
playing Into the hands of the democrats and
can no longer bo trusted by the rank and
file of the populist party. It Is said that
many others share in the same belief. An-
o.hcr populist of equally high position. In
discussing the situation today , raid that on
Wednesday thegieatcet Interest would
center on the meeting of the popul'sts ' , and
It was certain that If a good majority of
that body was in favor of nominating n
populist for supreme Judge the democrats
would be compelled to agree' , and Judge
Neville would bo nominated. In his opinion
the wishes of the populist convention would
rule the other two. State olllcers who
were Interviewed today were less confident of
an easy agreement and frankly stated that
the reports of quarrels and the bolting of
delegations at Omaha , Pawnee Bloomfleld ,
Hcnkelman and other places indicated that
there might be n long wrangle between
the forces on convention day , followed by
n good deal of bitterness between the
factions.
Some of the delegates have already ar
rived In the city and there are reports that
the trains from every direction will bring in
Immense throngs. Yet to show that the
leaders arc themselves In doubt about the at
tendance H Is only necessary to mention that
the railroad company offered to run a
special train from Falls City by way of
Tccumsch , In order to bring the delegates
atid visitors from Richardson , Pawnee ,
Johnson and Lancaster counties , and the
guarantee asked was only $175. Delegates
from Tecumseh and Pawnee were seen Icot
night who said they did not think It safe
to make the guarantee. They either look
for a small attendance from that direction
or else fear that a large proportion will
come on passes , which latter would be no
helpvto the guarantee required by the rail
road compa'nyr " , ' / ' . . . * * .
Of the notables who are to speak on con
vention day , Mr. Hryan is resting quietly at
hobie and "Cyclone" J. H. Davis of Texas
is quartered at the LIndcll , having arrived
in the city thjs morning. The other
speakers have not yet put in an appearance.

LINCOLN , Aug. 30. ( Special. ) As the
time for the fusion conventions approaches
there is more and more discussion of the
problem of fusion and the division of the
spoils , especially among the populists , many
of whom assert that the democrats are
claiming and receiving more than their
share of the offices. The democrats , on
the other hand , take the opposite position
anil bold that the fusion candidate for
supreme Judge this year should be a demo
crat cs a right belonging to that party for
its share of the reward resulting from past
fusion successes.
While there is apparently a great deal effusion
fusion talk among members of the three
silver organizations , the general feeling is
anything but good. Today two prominent
populists were heard to say that the demo
crats had no real sympathy In the reform
movement except so far as they could reap
j substantial benefit from ItTo support this
contention In a degree , the fat positions
held under tb.e state administration by the
democrats were noted and it was suggested
that the party had been fairly well rewarded
considering the fact that the continued bolt
of the sound money faction made the
strength of the silver element at best but
problematical.

toft positions secured by the democrats In

were probably mareacred (11 ( the wilds ot tbo
mountains of 1'opc c-ounty yesterday after
noon. T\\u weiu Killed outright , two \vcro
fatally wounded and Iclt for dead and two
lia\o mynterlously disappeared and are
Ither dead or arc being held captive by the
bloodthirsty bandits who commuted the
awful crime. The killed :
CAPTAIN 11. R TAYLOR of Bearer
county , n deputy United Htatca marihal.
JOE DODSON. of Stoule , a deputy niar-
Hhal.
The fatally wounded are two brothers
named Itcnfro of Searey county.
The names of the missing men arc not
known , but they nre supposed to be deputy
aheriUs from an adjoining county.
The victims were nil olllcers , deputy mar-
shnlB and deputy sheriffs and the men who
did the awful work of carnage ure moon-
shiners of the boldest und most dej < p-rute
class. The r.ceuo of the bloody crime was a
gulch or ravlno in the maintains of Pope
county , at an Isolated spot thirty-flvo
miles from Ru&sellvllle , the nearest tele
graph otllce and tin milts Irom Will
Sprlupa. The ngton la wild and Isolated. It
has for years been the favorite rendezvous
lor counterfeiters and moonshiners , and a
district In which no law-abiding citizen
could live. Veteran moonshiners , who were
yeans ago hunted and hounded out of
Georgia , North Carolina , Tennessee and
cthrr state's , have settled in the mountains
and continued their Illicit ellBtllllug of
whisky. Counterfeiters have operated there
and criminals of other clashes have taken
refuge In the hills of 1'ope county. For
jeais it has been considered the worst and
mewl dangerous section In the state and the
ciaek of the rifle has warned many a deputy
maiuhul to begone.
The otlicers for a long lime have he-en try-
lug to break up the luwlebiaeas in that vi
cinity and many battles between them , an'd
the desperadoes have occurred. Captain 'D.
E. Taylor , the ilcbcst man In Scarcy County
and a man of much prorrilnence , determined
to alel the oOlceraIn putting down crime In
that section. Ho secured a commission cs
f. deputy United States marshal and led the
pcsee In the raid that resulted in ills death.
A few dajs ago a successful raid was made
In the same locality In which a dozen moon-
shlnein were captured and Tirought to Llt-
tlo Rock. One" of them told the officers that
at lenst fifty large distilleries were operated
In tho" same neighborhood. Taylor with hla
posse located a large mojushlne outfit Sat
urday night and decided to make the raid
Sunday in daylight.
SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
Proceeding slightly In advance of hl men
Taylor was within thirty feet of the dU-
tlllery when he was suddenly fired upon
fioin ambush and UuUan.ly killed. As
Dodson ran up to Taylor he was also ehot
dead in his tracks. Pistols began to crack
In all direction and a terrible- volley was
r-oured into the remaining olHceru.
The Heufro broihers fell mortally
wounded and lay by the roadside until later
In the day a traveler named Pack chanced
by. All traces of the bandits had disap
peared as well us two of the deputy sheriffs.
The latter have not since been beard
from and are believed to either have been
killed or wounded and taken away capt'vcs
by the moonshiners.
The traveler rushed to Rutsellville with
the news and the corcmcr with a sheriff's
pwso started for the scene. No ncwe haa
been received eluce they departed. Pack
thinks the Renfro brothers will be dead
bcforo tbo party reaches them. It Is not
known by whom the crime was committed ,
but the officers believe the gang Is com
posed of desperadoes , hcadexl by Horace
Hruco and John Church , two of the most
dangerous characters in that locality.
The United States authorities were today
asked to offer a reward for the arrest of
tliit gang , to which the state will contribute ,
and a determined effort will bo made to
capture them. It Is probable the effort will
lead to further bloodshed.
