Killed by an old Friend
Mobile, Ala., Oct. 16 -Dr. Seymour
Bulleck, of this city, was killed yesterday
momms; at Nayy cove, by Thomas B.
Brewster. r.Iso of Mobile, The two were
for years intimate friends, but of late they
have not been on speaking terms. Dr
Bullock was in the boat removing some
shingles, and Brewster was oo the little
island, fishing. It is said that Brewster
hud beea warned that Dr. Bullock was
p-ninsr to kill him on sight. Two shots
were hred in quick succession ana
Bul
lock fell dead in tbe boat. Brewer came
up and helped remove the body trom the
boat. Then be surrendered himself to
Dr. Fowler, and is how under arrest at
Navy cove, awaiting the arrival ol tbe
sheriff of Baldwin county. The vrdict
of the coioner's jury is that he fired the
shot. Bullock was born in Casanovia,
N. V . Hnrl was a frrarhiAte in auroerv at
the University of Pennsylvania. Mr.
Rronsto. hua hnon knnvii fur nnra In
this city as a quiet, peaceable gentleman,
and bow he was wrought up to do this
terrbile deed is past tne comprehension of
his friends in this city, lie has for vears
been connected with the American Fric
tion Company, of this city, and at the
last election he ran as independent can
didate ior mavor.
Affairs in China.
Shanghai. Oct. 16. Many warships
hitve arrived at Shanghai, Rumors are
abroad that the insu genis are to set tire
to the European quarter. A British sub
ject named Mason, leagued with Kolabue,
will be tried at the assizes next week
on a charge of transporting contraband
arms and dvnamite consigned to and
intended for the insurgents. Tbe situa
tion remains serious. Germany has en
tered into the agreement of the powers
against China. Gross deception has been
practiced at Fekin in the hope that
Germany would again refuse to enter the
combination. Kccently the German
minister, dean of the diplomatic corps at
Pekin, compromised the dignity of bis
colleagues in the matter of an audience
lor the purpose of securing Uhinese favor
and concejsioDS for putilic works and
railways inaugurated at Jlraipmg, near
Tientsin. He appeared to act for the
agency of the iron works, conducted by
Krupps' concern at Essen, seeking for a
monopoly in furnishing rails and gnns
It is reported that the old time official
friendship between Germany and China
"is a thing of the past. ..Minister Brandt
a bo demands indemnity for outrages
against foreigners, having realized the
colossal deception ot the Chinese. A
Tientsin message says that tbe French
minister, Lemair, has returned to bis
post at Pekin, and confirms tbe unani
mous agreement of foreign powers.
More Ceded Lands.
Denver, Oct. 16. The Associated
Press correspondent who accompanied
the commission to negotiate with tbe Sho
shone and the Arapahoe Indians of Wy
oming for a cession ol a part of the Wind
river reservation, telegraphs that tbe com
mission nas efiected an agreement with
the Indians, under which they cede to tbe
United States about 1.100,000 acres out
of a totul of 2,000,000 acres. The In
clianj receive $0,000,000. or about 55
ceu;s per acre, llie lands ceded include
practically all the lands north of tbe
Wind river and the strip on tbe eastern
part of tbe reservation. The country is
well watered Tbe bottom lands are rich
and there are about 100,000 acres of
bench land, wbicb tbe irrigation com
panies can make good agricultural land
at reasonable cost. Tbe whole of tbe res
ervation is fine sheep and cattle land.
Coal and oil are found on the ceded lands,
and there are indications of more valu
able minerals. Tbe country is 150 miles
trom railroad communication.
SertiUous Anarchists.
Philadelphia, Oct. 16. Before Judge
Biddle to day a bearing was bad on tbe
habeas corpus cases in the interest of Jul
ius Moskowitz, Isidore Brenner aud Mor
ris Gillis, Russian Jews, charged with a
breach ot tbe peace in distributing anar
chist circulars, making incendiarv
speeches and inciting riot. Tbe officers
testified as to their utterances at a meet
ing. lbev advisel tbeir bearers not to
believe in God, not to ftar'the police.
condemned tbe Dresident of the United
States, and said be ought to be killed
Judgd Biddle declares that be bad no
doubt that the Dreuching of their doc
trines was ' seditious. These foreigners
came to this country voluntarily, and tbe
nrst thing they did was to attack our in
stitutions. Thev were enemies to tbe
human race. ' He held all for trial. .
Kattsian Jews do not Like Farming.
Middi.etown, Conn., Oct. 16. Two,
farms at East Haddam, bought a year
ago by Russian Hebrews with money
supplied' from tbe Baron Hirscb fund,
have been abandoned by tbeir purchasers,
wbo have gone buck to New Tork, and
the bouses are unoccupied. A Russian
Hebrew was supplied with money from
tbe fand to buy the Ladd farm in Salem,
and also to purchase tbe stock. He left
tbe cattle on the farm running loose, and
they are now being cared for by Mr.
Ladd. , Hebrews who beve come here
and have been snpphed with farms do
not seem to like farming life, and in a
large number of cases, as soon as they
pick op a small knoweledge of the Eng
lish, tbey go to some of tbe large cities.
A Kow Between Doctors.
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 16. Tbe affairs
of the Pan-American congress haye de
veloped another medical sensation. It
appears tbe American Medical Associa
tion appointed Dr. A. L. Gipon to repre
sent the medical department of the
United Stales navy, but Dr. Gipon being
extremely, busy Secretary Tracy sent Dr.
Howard E. Ames in bis stead. Tbe
officers of the congress declined to receive
Dr. Ames, except as a proxy. This Ames
would not consent to, and he was there
fore entirely ignored in the proceedings
of the committee.
Storm Still Basing.
London, Oct. 16. The storm which
abated for a time is renewed with in-
Creased fury, and reports are received
from all over tbe countrv.of its ravanges.
A telegram from Portland says a Dutch
man ot-war collided off Portland mole
with the British bark Mysterious Star,
and botn vessels are greatly damaged.
Balfour Will be Appointed to Succeed
Nmith.
London, Oct. 18. It is officialy an
nouneed to-day that Balfour has been
appointed first lord of tbe treasury. Tbe
Right Hon. C. T. Ritchie is spoken of as
Mr. Balfour's successor as secretary of
Ireland. Mr. Ritchie is president of tbe
local government board, an office with
a salary ot 2000 a -year, whereas the
chief secretary of Ireland receives 4,425
a year. Financially, therefore, as well as
in political importance, it would be a
great advance for Mr: Ritchie. He has
never been noted for executive ability.
although a man of considerable original
force and of long parlimentary experience,
It is remembered, however, that Mr.
Baltour himself sat in parliament-for
years and held government office without
displaying any special ability, until bis
appointment s man cbiet secretary
brought out his peculiar capacity for
what tbe Irish call Balfourism. Mr.
Kitchie is also a Scotchman, being a
native of Dundee, where he was born in
loos, tie has been for many years a res
ident of London. He is at present
the most probable selection of those
mentioned for tbe Irish chief secretary
ship. W L. Jackson, who has also been
named, is financial secretary of the
treasury and has held that office in a
thoroughly business like way. It is not
thought probable that Lord Salisbnry will
dispense with him in the treasury espec
ially as be represents the rather doubtful
constituency of .North Leeds. birJonn
Uorset has also been named for the Irish
office.
Mobilisation of tbe Kationrl xuard is
.Recommended.
Washington. Oct. 17-. General Miles
in uh annual report recommended tbat
the National Guard of the country be
mobilized or assembled at the World's
Columbian Exposition in 1893, and tbat
congress be requested to make an appro
priation to pay tbe cost of tbe transpor
tation.
General Miles reviews at length tbe
Indian outbreak of last winter, attribu
ting it largely, as he did at the time, to
tbe failure of the crops and failure of tbe
government to properly perform its obli
gations in regard to rations, etc. Of tbe
Messiah craze be says' tbe fanaticism and.
superstition of tbe people were taken ad
vantage of by tbe traders to encourage
them to liosti ! l titles. He commends tbe
administration of Captaiu Peony, as act
ing agent ot Pine Ridge, and says tbat
tbrougn additional appropriations the
Indiana now receive nearly half as much
more than tbey did a year ago. How
ever, tbe fires of discord still remain
Tbe c'.mruanders have discovered com
munications going on between tbe differ
ent camps, inciting tbe Indians to hostil
ities, and even now (September 7) a del
egation lrom tbe Indian territory is
absent, ostensibly to visit friends in Wy
oming. lbey have, in fact, gone across
tbe mountains and are now in the abodes
of the supporters of the Messiah delusion,
near pyramid lake, in Nevada. Even
while tbe hostages were held at Fort
Sneridan last spring, they received a
communication from friends in tbe Sionx
camp, saying they bad not given up tbe
idea ot a grand Indian uprising, and that
the Utes were ready to ioin tbe Sioux
whenever the latter desired to resume
hostilities.
91 rs Allen G. Thnrman Mead.
Colttmbtjs, O., Oct. 17. Mrs Allen G.
Tburman died late this afternoon. Her
condition changed for tbe worse last
nigbt. During most of tbe week she has
been in an unconscious state. She was a
victim of la grippe during the winter and
never recovered from tbe attack. Her
advanced age prevented her from regain
ing her strength. Judge Tburman is
much enfeebled and it is feared by bis
inends be will not long surviye bis wife.
Mrs. Tburman was born in Cbillicotbe
in loll. Her maiden name was Marv
Don. While she was. a child ber father
moved to Lexington, Ky. There she
illumed Mr. Tompkins, tie died in a
few years. She was married to Judge
Thnrman in November, 1844, and has
been bis constant companion and help
mate during bis long professional . and
public career.
After tbe Gamblers.
Chehalis, Oct. 17. Tbe grand jury
which was discharged to-day has, it Is
said, indicated thirteen gamblers of Che
halis and Centralis. For several months
past tbe places have beeu running wide
open and tbe better element of citizens
are determined to suppress it. Tbe pros
ecution will be a vigorous one. In the
final report of tbe grand jury it was de
clared tbat the provisions made for tbe
county records and criminals were inade
quate and insecure and recommended
tbat tbe commissioners provide better ac
commodations. idi means tbat a new
courthouse and jail will be built within
tbe next year. Tbe present buildings are
insignificant wood structures. Judge
Hunter says be will not hold another
term ot court in the old courthouse.
Injunction Served on a Harsbal.
Centralia, Wash., Oct. 17. For the
last two or three days tbe city marshal
bas been taking city warrants in payment
of taxes. Last evening an iniunction
was served on tbe marshal, at the instance
of Frank Hense. cashier of tbe Firzt Na
tional bank, restraining bim from further
acceptableB of tbe same. 1 he case will
be argued Tuesday evening next.
Centralia, Cbebalis and Winlock are
now connected by telephone.
Tbe interest in tbe mining develop
ment continues, and many of our citizens
are looking for claims. Work was
started on the wagon road from Centralia
mis uiurmug.
Poland's Tribute to Parnell.
Dublin, Oct. 17. Delegate Sieminsky
arrived to day from Warsaw, bringing
with bim a handsome wreath to be placed
on tbe grave of Parnell. Sieminsky says
it was intended he should be present as a
representative of tbe nationalists of Po
land at the funeral of tbe Irish leader, but
the Russia a government did not allow
tbe date of the fuueral to be published in
tbe Poland newspapers. The wreath is
composed of laurel haves entwined with
tbe Polish colors and with broad silk
bands, bearing an inscription expressive
of sympathy with tbe deceased and tbe
cause for which be fought. Tbe Poles
were compelled to smuggle it across the
frontier.
- Only One Tote A sains t It.
Ellensburgh, Wash., Oct. 17. The
proposition to bond the middle irrigation
district was voted on yesterday, and there
was only one vote against it in the entire
district. .Most of tbe right of way bas
already been secured, and bids will be
called for as soon as the vote is canvased.
One of the directors waited on tbe
Northern Pacific land officials at Tacoma,
and thev readily granted tbe right of way
on all tbierlands through wbicb tbe ditch
runs. Contractors are now on the
grounds anxious to bid on the work and
take tbe bonds in payment.
Seattle Kews.
Seattle, Wash., Oct. 17. Depntv
Collector D. A. McKenzle took charge of
the customs office here to-day, ousting
John Alexander, whose resignation was
so emphatically received by Collector
Wasson.
Thomas Henderson Boyd bas requested
tbe statement to be made through tbe
press tbat be Is not a candidate for the
position of collector of tbe port of Tacoma.
State ((representative Dead.
Seattle, Wash:, Oct. 17. Charles W.
Langton, a member of the legislature for
the fortieth representative district, was
found dead in bed at bis borne in this
city this morning. Heart disease was
the cause. Mr. Langton wag engaged in
the nursery business on six acres, which
be bought in what was a wilderness in
1887, but which is now in the heart of
the city, and makes bis estate worth
nearly $100,000.
A Xegro Uprising.
Clifton Forge, Va., Oct. 19. The
greatest excitement prevailed bere all
day Sunday, growing out of the lynching
of three negroes on Sunday. Early in
the day crowds of armed negroes began
assembling in tbe streets and making
tnreats ot retaliation. So demonstrative
wpre the blocks for revenge that the sit
uation began to look Berious, and Mayor
tsoweis, tearing an uprising, telegraphed
to governor McKinney acquainting bim
with tbe serious condition of affairs, and
asking tbat a body of soldiers be sent to
protect them. The white pobulation, in
the meantime, began to organize for pro
tection sbould tbe negroes attempt to
carry out tbeir threats. Bodies ot men
were stationed at different points where
it was expected an attrck would be made,
and word was sent to outlviner sections
for help. There are a large number of
negroes iu tbe mine bere, and the most
of them are of a desperate character.
Should tbey attempt an attack ou the
town a most blood? conflict would ensue.
The entire town is in arms and pickets at
every outskirt. A squad of men are on
the way bere from Ronceverte. W. Va. It
is expected their presence will overawe
the negroes. The services in tbe church
es were all suspended last nigbt, and peo
ple thronged tbe streets as if in expect
ancy of a terrible conflict. Cooler heacfc,
however, believe the reports of the deter-
mimaton of the negroes are exaggerated
aod that no outbreak wil occur. Tbe
Monticello guards, it is said, will be sent
by tbe governor, and should trouble be
prevented until their arrival it is hoped
that tbe negroes will not dare to make
any movement. Tbe greatest danger is
Deiieved trom nre. Sbould tbe blacks
decide upon an uprising, they would un
doubtedly apply the torch as toe speed
iest and most satisfactory means of re
venge. Citizens have prepared them
selves for this emergency, and bodies of
men are patrolling tbe streets where it is
thought an attack against property would
iiseiy to oe made. I he negroes are
massed in large numbers in tbe Crown
section of tbe town, where many are un
der the influence of liquor and are mak
ing boisterous demonstrations.
Latest From Chill.
Santiago, Cbili.Oct. 19 It ie officially
stated tbat the government will insure
safe conduct to those persons wbo have
taken refuge in tbe- American and Span-
isn legations. ibe government bas
recognized the. right ot asylum in a letter
to Mr. Egan, United States minister.
The Spanish minister is acting iu con
junction with Mr. Egan. Tbe sailor of
tbe United states steamer Baltimore,
killed by tbo Chilian sailors in tbe street
brawl a few days ago, was buried at Val
paraiso to day. There was no hostile
demonstiation of any kind. An armed
force of Americans from tbe Baltimore
was landed and tbey attended thefunerai
unmolested. Another Baltimore sailor.
cruelly wounded in tbe same fight, will
probably die. Captain Schley and tbe
local authorities are investigating tbe
causes of tbe killing. Already ic bas
been ascertained tbat tbe Chilian mob
made tbe attack on the Americans. Tbe
Chilians were ail armed with knives and
pistols, whereas tbe Americans had but
a few weapons and were slow in using
tbem. Tbe Chilian sailors and boatmen
and others about tbe water front still
show a relentless bitter feeling towards
tbe Americans, and make all manner of
threats. Tbe better class of Chilians
heartily condemn the brutality, and ex
press tbe hope tbe country will escape
tbe odium which arises from such lawless
scenes.
Tbe I risb Situation.
London, Oct. 19. The tories are much
elated over the news from Tipperary to
tbe effect that tho Pensonby tenants are
seeking to come to terms with theii land
lord, and tbat the Tipperary tenants bave
turned against Father Humphreys and
called upon Archbishop Croke to remove
Dim. i atber Humphreys bas - been tbe
chief of tbe plan of campaign and boy
cotting movement in Tipperary, and of
late be bas been particularly bitter
against tbe tenants wbo have paid their
rent and made peace with the landlords.
He la also a pronounced anti I'arnellHe.
Tbe tenants wbo bave paid their rent
have become tired of the father's bitter
cri tii isms on their course and bave pre
sented to Archbishop Croke tbe square
issue as to whether a priest so conducting
himself sbould be retained in tbe parish.
Considerable interest is felt as to what
will be tbe archbishop's decision. Tbe
cause of tbe charge In tbe attitude of the
evicted tenants is undoubtedly tbe new
Irish land law, wbicb the tenants are
anxious to take advantage of before any
others can take their places. Tbe tories
are also elated over tbe news from Ulster,
where tbe conservative, or loyalist, fac
tion is more than holding its own in tbe
resignation, while tbe nationalists show a
lack of the earnestness Which existed
before the Parnell division.
Accused of Stealing Records.
Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 19. Andrew J.
Littlejohn, one of' Tacoma's moat prom
inent business men and property holders,
James T.Elder, a brickmasoo, and Will-
am Jameson, a land cruiser, of Olympia,
are accused and indicted oy tne grand
jury of tbe supreme court of tbe District
ot Columbia for stealing public records
from the land department of tbe interior.
Mr. Littlejohn was arrested this morning
by United States Marshal Brown, but
Jameson and Elder are still at large.
Assistant United Sta tes Prosecuting At
torney Charles Arms, bas been in tbe city
for several days past, quietly working on
the case. It is alleged in tbe indictment
that Littlejohn and Jameson, on January
26, 1891, went to the genera! land office
of tbo department of tbe interior, and
under pretense of a desire to examine tbe
papers relative to tbe nomestead nung
ot J. T. Elder, obtained and carried tbem
away. Tbe land is worth about $160,000,
and it is supposed tbat tbe object of des
troying tbe records was to make tbe land
free to enter. Littlejohn admits visiting
tbe intoror department last, winter, but
declines to say whether or not be met
Jameson or Elder there. It is thought
that tbe two latter got wind of tbe con
templated arrest and bave skipped tbe
country.

As the rendezvous for news the Umatilla
House is the center, and in his daily rounds
our reporter never neglects this repository.
To-day he found Col. Sinnott as affable as
ever, and as ardently in favor of an open
river, but on looking over tbe register ho
saw the name of a man from-Syria,. another
from Constantinople, and still another from
Bucharest. These names were written in
such an outlandish way, witb Slavonian
characters, that he could not put them in
English and Latin letters. Satisfied, 'but
not at all gratified, he departed, and will
try some future tim6 to pencil an item of
news from this great hostlery of Eastern
Oregon.
Eugene Guard: Thursday morning Ned
Thompson, of Monroe, eloped with Miss
Edna Smith, who lives about three miles
west of Junction, leaving Harrisburg on the
overland train. By some means the young
lady got off the train at Wood burn by mis
take, her lover being in another car when
tbe train stopped at that place, the parties
intending to go to Portland.bat be returned
to Woodburn on the Albany express, arriv
ing at that place at 5 P. M. On alighting
from the train he was arrested by the
Woodburn marshal, on a warrant from
Justice Starr's court at Junction, charging
him with taking away a female under 16
years of ago for the purpose of prostitution.
Mr. Thompson claims that he. had no in
tention of running away with the girl.
With great expectations onr reporter vis
ited tbe court house to-dav, and calmly and
with a serene countenance the deputy clerk
sat copying mortgages. To questions pro
pounded the answer came that there was
nothing of which to make an item. Bend
ing his footsteps across the hallway he called
on the sheriff and his deputy, aod could re
ceive nothing of importanoe. Mr. Cates
bad just returned from the grand lodge, K.
of P. in Portland, and was somewhat wear
ied by the devotions he had given at tbe
brine of Pythias, and Deputy Pnirman had
just returned from levying an attachment
on a band of sheep. Both were as uncom
municative as tbe grave when asked for
news. The same number were in tbe jail,
and nothing had happened to mar the mel
lifluous flow of current events. Disgusted
beyond expression, with an unused pencil,
our reporter left, and time moved on in its
rapid course the same as it bas for centuries
past.

Dayton Chronicle: Mrs. Chris Marll was
badly injured Thursday morning by a pet
cow. Mrs. Marll was muting when the
cow bit her on the shoulder. This fright
ened Mrs. Marll so that she fell off the
milking stool. The cow then turned around
and proceeded to book her, inflicting a se
vere wound on the lett limb above the
knee. Mr. Marll and his sons succeeded in
driving the cow off with cjuhs and stones.
Dr. McLachlan was called and dressed the
wound, and Mrs. Marll is getting along
nicely. Had the wound been an eighth ot
an inch deeper, the lady would have bled to
death before assistance arrived.
Says the Lewiston (Idaho) Teller: The
policy of the government is well de
fined toward the opening of public lands
for settlement. Tbe legislation of the last
congress provided for the opening to settle
ment of over 8,000,000 acres of Indian
lands, and it is now negotiating for the ces
sion of 6,000,000 acres belonging to the
Cberokees and 2,000,000 acres in Southern
Colorado, belonging to the Utes. In the
west the Colville reservation contains
1,500,000 and the Nez Perce 750,000.
These, together with the recently-opened
Couer 'd'Alene reserve and that of Fort
Hall, in South Idaho, yet leaves a magnifi
cent domain to supply homesteads for the
coming generations of American settlers.
The eastern homeseeker has yet splendid
chances in the northwest to be supplied
with cheap but desirable lands. Here are
millions of acres far more desirable than
the lands recently opened to settlement
near Oklahoma.
Tidings: People driving along the wagon
road north of Ashland complain of reckless
ness in the blasting at the railroad rock cnta
above the road. Blasts will be prepared,
and the fuse lighted hefore any one is sent
to warn approaching teams, and several in
stances of narrow escapes from serious in
jury are reported. More than one person
bas said that tbe first notice received of
danger was the sound of the blast and fall
of broken rocks, or tbe hurried approach of
a man who said the blast was just going off.
If this continues, someone will be badly
hurt yet by falling rock, or by the runaway
of a team of frightened horses. The public
ought to be giyen all the protection possi
ble, and no blast should be touched OS, day
or night, without a patrol being sent oat in
both directions along tbe road with ample
time to see that it la clear and to keep
everyone entirely beyond the reach of dan
ger.
Whatcom Reveille: The victims of the
Evangel disaster were all taken to the hos
pitals at Port Townsend and Seattle, Fri
day morning, with tbe exception of tha
dead man and Sand berg. The removal was
made on the City of Seattle, it was learned
during the day that two of the injured
men died on the passage, presumably Willie
Biggs and Julias Flint, tbe fireman. Biggs
was burned internally. It was thought by
the physicians that sVl Biggs and Joo Bur
roughs, tbe colored cook, would die. Many
people visited the wreck, Friday. The bull
was not injured, but the entire upper part
of the boat was destroyed. The boiler had
shot through tbe cabin, broke the mast in
two places and fallen into tha bay in about
twelve feet of water. The boat was moved
around the wharf to be out of the way of
other steamers. It is probable that the old
hull will be fixed up again, and continue
business.

are now remaining idle iu that country.
In the circuit court at Salem Judge Boise
rendered a decision declaring unconstitu
tional section 8 of the fish law passed by
the last legislature. This is the "sawdust"
section of the law to protect salmon and
other food fishes. Judge Boise declares it
in conflict with section 20 of the constitu
tion, which says every act shall embrace
but one subjec , which shall be expressed in
he title to the act. This is not tho case
with sectiou 8. The decision was rendered
in the case ot tbe state versos John A.
Shaw, for putting sawdust in the riyer at
Mill City. Santiam Lumbering Co. has al
ready expended about $3000 to prevent
running the sawdust into the river.
Sentenced to be Hanged.
A Sprague special says: Tbe exoiteinent
caused by the arrest of Wayman Sutton,
alias R. J. Howard, by Sheriff Fish last
evening, has by no means abated in this
city. Howard acknowledges that he is tha
man and that he was sentenced to be
banged in Wythe county, Virginia, in
1888, for the murder of a man of that
county who was regarded aa a bard charac
ter, but that he did not do the killing and
that be was convicted upon oironmstantial
evidence. The citizens of Wytheville re
leased him because the verdict of the jury
was inconsistent With the evidenoe,aud that
be remained in the county two years after
his release.
He says that be does not object to going
back to Virginia, that he has friends there
who will never permit him to be hanged
because tbey know he is innocent.
Tbis afternoon ex-City Marshal Coulee
circulated a petition among the citizens of
Sprague, asking the governor of Virginia to
pardon Howard. The accused has been ad
mitted to the Methodist church of this
city on probation and has been considered
by all who have formed his acquaintance as
a very exemplary young man. Offioers
were expected to arrive in Sprague from
Wytheville Thursday to take Howard back '
to the scene of his crime, where he wsa
sentenced to be hanged, bat by the assist
ance ot citizens was uoeratea irom jau on
the 29th of November, 1888.
