MURDER AT ELGIN.
Francis Lo Horde Killed
by Evan Carver.
THE RESULT OF A QUARREL-
The Murdirer and the Wif of Lo
Bordi Now In tho Coun
ty Jail.
On Wednc.tlity evening of last week,
about G o'clock, Evan Carver shot and
killed Francis Lo Horde, a resident of
Elk Flat. Tho particulars of the case,
as near as wo are nine to learn, are us
follows: Carver had been stopping
with Lo Horde for sonic time aud it is
thought was soniewhat intimate with
his (Lo Horde's) wife. On Wednesday
morning Mrs. Lo Horde took it wagon
anil went to Sununerville after sonic
provisions. While she was gone Lo
Horde and Carver became involved in
a quarrel, whereupon Carver left and
started toward Elgin. When near that
place he-met Mrs. Le Horde returning
home and told her of his trouble with
her husband. She took his. part and
told him to get in the wagon and she
would go back to Elgin with him. In
the meantime Lo Horde had also start
ed for Elgin, and just as they had got
turned around and started towards
town, came up and attempted to get
in tho wagon, whereupon Carver drew
n revolver and shot Le Horde, the ball
entering near tho heart, but tho shot
did not seem fatal, so he fired again,
hitting him in the log. Hy this time
Lo Horde had reached Carver and
tried to wrest the pistol from him, but
could not do so on account of His weak
condition, and received the third shot
in the back of tho neck, which proved
fatal and he soon died. Carver and
Mrs. Le Horde then put him in the
wagon and proceeded towards home,
but when they arrived at John Hill's,
Carver informed him of what ho had
doife and requested him to go for a
doctor. Hill immediately went to El
gin and had a warrant sworn out for
Carver's arrest and ho was. taken to
Elgin, locked up mid guarded. A
warrant was also sworn out for the
arrest of Mrs. Le Horde and she was
placed under $1000 bonds, and the
two were brought to this city last
Thursday night and placed in the jail.
Carver is a young man about 20
years of age, and since his incarcera
tion appears to bo in good spirits. Ho
has written a lengthy communication
"to bo published," but which amounts
to nothing, further than he says ho
expects to get 99 years in tho pen. or
bo hung.
Mrs. Le Horde has nothing to say
and appears in a very bad condition,
scarcely taking food. She has two
little children aud it appears lias no
relatives here to look after them.
It is indeed a sad slate of a flairs and
it seems both aro lit subjects for tho
gallows or penitentiary for ljfc, but
there is no telling what evidence may
come out at tho trial, as it seems no
one saw tho shooting and knows what
transpired excopt Mrs. Lo Horde, and
it appears sho takes Carver's part.
AN0THKK HOMICIDH.

Wreaths of red and white and blue,
Havo been wrought by dainty lingers
In honor ot tho brave and true.

of the great United (States of America we

the past, we may with a magnanimous
and Godlike spirit forgivo and overlook it
all, aud as true patriots seek the futuro
welfare of our glorious united land; that
while wo aro looking through the halls of
memory upon the faces that are honored
and dear, we are also weaving garlands for
all the brave fallen soldiers of this great
republic; that thirty years have parsed
since tho terrible storm of war burst upon
our beloved land ; th.it the battle Is a thing
of the past, and peaco and prosperity
reigns; thnt patriotism should nowflroall,
and that wo should riso aboyo section
or party. Tho speaker hero gavo a picture
of peace under the glorious old flag, and
after speaking upon tho (LA. K. and giv
ing a tribute to the women who helped aud
hiillered In tho great conflict, he closed with
a poem written by himself for tho occasion.

An Expression of Confidence.
Geo, P. Howell it Co., of New York, the
publishers of tho American Newspaper
Directory, undertake to rate newspaper
circulations very much as the mercantile
agencies ieport the capital and ere 'it of
tho business community. About on pub
lisher in ten tells his exact issue with ruth
ful precision. Soni" of the other nine
decline to tell the facts becaue they ::wert
that those who do tell are in the luriit of
lying. Howell it Co., after an exnerienco
of more than twenty years, have come to
tho conclusion that this view cannot bo
sustained. In the twenty-third annual
issue of their book, issued in April, they
designate every paper that is rated in ac
cordance witli a detailed statement from
the publisher: and offer to pay a hundred
dollars for everv instance which can bo
pointed out of a misstatement for which a
publisher is responsible. Tub Oiir.oo.v
Scout is ono of the papers that is willing to
have it known how many it prints and
whose good faith the Directory will guaran
tee. The above is sent for insertion as a news
item if thought to be worth the spnee. It
is a fact that but one paper in junktkkn
has furnished such a straight-out statement
of actual issues as you have.

In Memorium.
Lines dedieatod to Wallace and Delia, in
memory of their loved ono:
Weep not, parents, for your loved one;
You, oro long, will meet again
Moot where Death can never sovcr
Links from out the golden chain.
Parents, you have lost a trcasuro
Worthy of tho tondcrcst love.
She has passed Death's gloomy portal
And her soul has soared above.
Tho little family circle's broken,
One dear link droppod out and gone,
Hut she left a precious token
Of the lovo that was your own.
Eyes aro closed that wero so lovely,
Hands are folded and at rest;
All hersulloring now is over;
She sweetly sleeps on Jesus' breast.
Days seem dark since she has left you,
And vour hearts tiro sad and soro;
Hut your loved ono stands, to greet you,
Just inside of Heaven's door.
Though tho golden chain ho broken,
And your hearts be grieved and sore,
God can gather up the lost links
And join them In just as before.
And thoro'll bo a sweet reunion
With the loved ones cone boforo,
Safely anchored now In Heaven
Where Death aud partlngcomo no more.
Death sooins cruel whon It severs
Loved ones from our fond embrace
Through Earth's glasses wo see but darkly,
But In Heaven face to faeo.
