"PAGO FRANK" SHOT.
r'sunk Silva isSliot and Killed by a Gambler
iNitmcd Flleibfp at Spokane Falls witli
Whom He Picked a Uuill't'el.
From the E. 0 Nov. 8th.
Frank Silva, known by the sobriquet
of "Dago Frank," as a very tough rep
resentative of that tough class the pimp
atid tin-horn fraternity was shot and
killed at Spokane Falls Wednesday af
ternoon by a gambler named Tom Ell
edge in the Twin Brothers Saloon. Fol
lowing is the explnualiou for his crime
iniide by the rjjnrderer:
I killed him myself. He and I had
been partners in a game, ami had bad a
disagreement and dissolved. Ever since
then FrapJt has been abusing mo on all
occasions, and this morning wo had
some words. This afternoon he oame
in and began to abuse me and put his
hand in his ponket for a gun, and in self
defense I drew one and tired at; him."
r-ome bystanders said that the Dago
had a gun iu his hand, and ran into a
clothing store near by and called for a
doctor. He died in about five minutes,
and at difforent times uttered loud
screams. His body was taken to the
morgue, where the wound was found to
be just below the heart, in the breast
The revolver that EUedge used was a 45
caliber Colt's.
The man who did the shooting, I. K.
Elledge, is a gambler, who is very pop
ular and weR known both in Spokane
Falls and Montana, His friends all say
that tor a man in his business he has
good reputation and is peaceable and
quiet. His victim, "Dago Frank," lias
been run out of Pendleton and many
other towns in the Northwest for bis
misdeeds. It is not a surprise that he
should die ''with his boots on." as he is
accredited with committing many vil
lainous crimes.
A bystander was shot iu the arm dur
ing the fusilade, neeeusitatitiii' amputa

New Yorker Propose to Incalcale the Princi
ples of Patriotism In tlie Minds
t of 'I lie Youufr.
We commend the following which we
clip from tlie Chicago AVicv, as worthy
of circulation throughout our country.
The New Yorkers are determined to
inculcate patriotism in the school chil
li rep, aud lust week the teacher's plat
form in every public school room in New
York was draped with a big American
Hag find the teacher instructed to be
careful to impart to her obliges its his
toty and meaning. They are also to bo
taught the national hymns and made to
sing thern in chr-rus every day, so that
love o! country may be instilled into
their hearts at an early and impression
able age. But the main impetus to tins
very wise step is that thoughtful people
vbo are studying the weliaro and future
of onr country see that aomelhing should
beldone to indieato the Anioricau spirit
in the "children or our enormous immi
grant population who form almost a baif
of thenumberof those attending the pub
lic ECfaools. These children bear no
talk in their own homes that would in
still this spirit in them, for the parents
have no intimate knowledge of the peo
ple or governiperit, and indeed, half the
titee talk is in a foreign laugaage.
There has even been an attempt in some
quarters where there is a very large
foreign-born population of one nation
ality to brin alrnut the adoption of their
tongue in the public schools where their
children are taught, which attempts
ith bar acrons j have ronseil reformers to the necessity of
tranisf'Tniictf these
ANOTHKR SENSATIONAL FIND.
1 lie Hector's Clothes and Instruments ldcnti
Rcil. Chicago, Nov. 8. Dr. Crouin's cloth
ing and pase of surgical instruments
were foimtl-this afternoon nud fully iden
tilied, aud the discovery has created the
greatest excitement ntuoug the oflioere
of the stale. . It was stated in thecourt
room that the clothes and case of instru
ments were found iu a catch basin in
Lake View, by Lieutenant Kocbe, of the
Lake View station, not a hundred feet
from where Dr. Croniu's body - was
threwn. It was'nfterwards learned that
they were discovered at some little dis
tance from the spot where the hotly of
tlie murdered man was found, but, in
close proximity to the place where the
bloody trunk was discovered. They
were oovered with slime, but the iustril-,
mouts were easily recognized as beloug
mg to a physiciau's outfit. Lieutenant
Roche, as soon as he made the discovery,
at once started for the police headquar
ters. Chief Hubbard said that the
clothes aud instruments were undoubt
edly Dr. Croniu's.
Complaints have been made Meutly
that tlie sewer at the iuleraeotioc of Ev
austou and Buena avenues was running
over, and to-day workmen were sent to
investigate the trouble .The cover wns
removed from the manhole iu the center
of the street, and, after a few minutes
work with poles and hooks, two valises
were brought up, one a leather one and
the other a cheap paper one. In the
leather valise was found Dr. Croniu's
prescription book, with several prescrip
tions bearing his signature. J.he paper
one dropped to pieces as it was pulled
out ,and from it rolled a mass of tattered
clothing, most of which had been out, in
strips. The only garment remaining in
tact was the vest, whMrtfffi) in the cen
ter and which encircled the doctor's
case ol Eurgioal lustrmneuis. me
clothes had evidently been cut, m tha
hope that they would eoouet-drop apart
and be borne away in the sewer. The
clothing, surgical case aud prescription
book, the latter two being marked with
Croniu's name, were, fully identified by
the Conklinys and others as tho proper
ty of the murdered physician, The most
damaging of all the circumstances for
the prisoners is tne fact that the find
was made only one block from the spot
where tho bloody trunk was discovered
after it had been thrown hurriedly from
the wagon, and only hall' a mile south of
where the body was found in the catcb
basia. The uaner valise is supposed to
be the on?'pe.'.rhased by"-J-B.Simoiids,"
und to-morrow a clerk will attempt to
identify 'it.

caused wild exciten.
-A shot was
heard just at the eutrauee of Judge Mo-
CoLinell's court. A dozen lawyers and
reporters rushed out and found stretch
ed on the sidewalk the body of a largo
man, with a revolver iu his hand and the
brains oozing from his skull. Ho was
dead, aud as no one onuld identify him,
it was at once assumed that his tragic
death had some mysterious connection
with the sensational discoveries of to
day. After tin hour's investigation,
however, it was learned that his name
was Edward Rohm and that he had
been for some time known to be parti
ally insane. lie doubtless committed
suicide while laboring under a mental

The Prevention of Competition anil Knlmnce
nieitt of Price lllei;al.
NiiW YoitK, Nov. 7, The general term
of the supreme court handed down sever
al decisions to-day, aiuoug them the long
expected one iu the case of the North
River Sugar Refining Compauy, which
some time ago incorporated in a sugar
trust. The opiuion nllirms the decision
of Judge Barrett, ordering a dissolution
of the oompaoy.
The court holds that although the
trust agreement does not sot forth as
one of its objects the preventing of com
petition and the enhancement of prices,
those objects may be judicially inferred
Urom the faots iu the case and from the
ordinary motives governing men's ac
tions, and that, even though outside
competition might prevent the trust from
realizing these objects, tins accidental
fact. would not relievo the patties to the
agreement from responsibility for their
illegal oourse. It is a oonditiou under
which a corporation is allowed to be crea
ted and inaiutaiued that it shall exercise
and use its franchise for the benefit of
the public, and when it voluntarily de
clines to do that or places itself in a sit
uation iu which that may be prevented,
as a cousequenoo of its voluntary action
under that statute, as well as the decis
ion of the oomts, its charter may be an
nulled at suit by the attorney general..

Denver, Colo.', Nov. 7. A Republican
speoial from Clayton, New Mexico, says:
unless the snow storm, which liaa been
raging for eight days oomes to an end
soon, next summer will show a country
covered with the dead bodies of nniuials
as thickly as was the old Santa Fe, trail
in the sixties. The detph now is not less
than 2C inohes on a level, and in many
plaoes it is drifted seven feet high.
When the storm struck this section, sev
en large herds of cattle, numbering from
400 to 2000, were being held near this
place awaiting shipment to the Eastern
market.. The rain of a week ago Wed
nesday was followed Thursday morning
by a blizzard of snow and sleet which
sent tha herds in a southerly direction.
Iu vain did the half frozen cowboys try
to check the maroh of the herds, but ou
they went through tho increasing Btorra
until, finding it utterly impossible to
hold the oattle, the boys rode aside and
letthcra, puss.nnd nearly dead rodo their
exhausted horses iuto canyons or partia
ly sheltered places, where they passed
many hours of misery without food or
fire. Two cowboys drifted iuto a cuu-
yun' where they found a oedar" tree with
a rat's nest in it. They managed to
light a fire with this. During tbo second
night one of their horses died from cold,
aud having nothing to eat the men out
pieoes of liesh from tho dead animal,
whioh they warmed aud ate without
suit. After remaining there for sixty
hours they turtod out and after mtjch
suffering and hardship from thoir weak
ened condition, managed to reach arauoh
thirty miles tiway, where they were cared
lor. Five oow boys are kuown to have
been frozen to death, Henry Miller, John
Martin, Charles Jolly and two unkuowu'
Two Mexican sheepherders have been
fouud frozen to death, one near Trampe
rus and another on a small creok near
town.
Two meu'oomiug iu this morning re
port drifts it) some plaoes eight foot high
iu which were hundreds of dead stock,
many with only their heads and horns
above the snow. In one -drift thirteen
were counted, and iu another ton. Some
of these were alive, but unable to move
from their frigid prison. Herds of sheep
are completely wiped out of existauee,
and the range for thirty miles from town
is covered with their dead bodies. It is
estimated that 20,000 sheep have perish
ed in this part of the territory. At
present it is impossible to estimate the
number of oattle lost, but it probably
will he in the thousands. All the plaoes
of shelter iu town are being need as
burns for the suow-bouud horses. Tho
hay supply is nearly exhausted and to-
iaf if )tw fat ko wu olldrjd. by . the
stockmen aud refused.
Nine miles below Clayton, two passen
ger trains have been snowbound for a
wek. Provisions are running out and
passengers are o. impelled to venture out
in the storm and kill cattle, the quartets
of which tiro taken into the curs aud
roasted. It. is thought that the snow
plows w ill reach the imprisoned trains
to-iaorrow and release them aud the
road be opened in a day or two. The
storm is by far the wurst ever known in
New Mexico, and the exact loss ot life
aud property cannot at present be estimated.

Colored Pugilist.
London, Nov. 10. Peter Jackson, tb
colored Australian pugilist, und Jem
Smith, the English champion, fought at
the Pelican Club for a purse of 10(10,
Jackson outfought Smith for two rounds
whereupon the Et-gii.ih fighter deliber
ately crosB-biiltocked Jaeksoti. Tlie ref
eree then gave Jackson the victory.
Among tho speo tutors wore many lords,
members of tLe house of commons and
other prominent persons. Hmilh wou
the toss for position. In tbo first round
there were many heavy exchanges. In
the second round Smith seemed to he
winded. Jackson forced the lighting
and knocked the English champion all
over tho ring. Finally Smith made a
rush and throw Jackson. Hiuith then
tried to resiimo the fight with bare
knuckles. Tho police seized Hmitb and
persuiiiled him to uliako hands with his
antagonist, Smith was beuton at all
points.
The result of the light is disappoint
ing. Before the match Jackson said it
was going to bo a fair one; that he came
u long way to meet his man in England,
for a big stake, and now that bo was lure
he was not going to overthrow his sup
porters. He said it would be a terrific
light, while it lasted, ami that he thought
it extremely probable the contest would
take tho full ten rounds to decide, lie
considered that the articles were drawn
slightly in fovor of Jem Smith. The ar
ticles did not give cither of the men any
chance for funey or artistic spnrriug, but
he thought that, all things considered,
each man had praotioally an even chance
before the match.
Jem Smith stated that bn was certain
of success, lie said it was uot to be a
contest of mere sparring ability, but one
of hard hitting and strategy. He denied
the truth of reports to the effect that the
issue of the light had been arranged be-
tweeu the combatants before hand, and
declared that they hud been put in cir
culation by enemies. As he expected to
make 82o,()0.J by winning the match, it
was unlikely, he urged, that hn was go
ing to throw uway by false measures his
splendid chance of getting such a large
num. His admirers at the Pelican Club
promised him large sums of money and
diamond rings aud pins if he was sue
Cfssful, but now he gets nothing.
Laborer riicarths a Lat'ire Sum of Money
While llv;t:iii stumps.
A short time since Henry Meyer pur-
ehnsnd a purt of the Old Purk -uddition
in East Portland, whinh has been vacant
number of years. Last week lie
thought ho would have somo of the old
rubbish and stumps on the plaoo remov
ed, and set a couple of men at work.
Tuesday one of the men unearthed an
old tul box about, ten inches square,
fastened wilh stout rivets aud securely
locked with a small brass padlock. Mr.
Meyer was went (or and had the box
brought, over to town. Upon breaking
it open it was found to be filled with
greoubneks, gold and silver aggregating
nearly l(i000, together with a Tew trinkets
and a Masonic emblem. Meyer was
diimbfoii ided at first and t lion he com
nienced to figure on Hie ownership. Af
ter consultation wilh several friends he
arrived at the conclusion that, us he had
purchased tho land, wil b all I he nppur
teuances and herediliimenlM thereunto
belonging, the find wuh legally his. The
only poHsiblctheory in relation ' to the
muttiir is that the money wus hidden by
thieves several yeais ago, possibly while
they weio hotly pursued, and that al
though they escaped or were caught and
sent to the penitentiary, or maybe dead,
they had never reoovered their ill-gotten
gains. A man who lives iu tho neigh
borhood, on being told of tho discovery,
suddenly remembered that, about six or
seven years ago he had been up in the
middle of the night, and had .seen two
men witli a lantern diggiug near
tho place where the money was found.
He had searched the place the next
morning, lint failed to find anything.
Mr. Meyer was lp-sh-geil yesterday
ivilb olVeis to remove Iho rest of the
stumps on bis land free of charge, hut
gave no more permits. lie made the
finder ol" the treasure, who is a poor
German, a handsome present, and will

away from him.
One I'seil a Pistol the Other a Knife Coolness
of a Wounded Man The Result of Po
litical Kiffereaees.
Louisville, Ky, Nov. 8. Colonel
Will iam Cassius Goodloe, a member of
the national committee, and collector of
the seventh internal revenue district,
stabbed aud killed Colonel A. M. Swope,
a prominent republican, at Lexington
this afternoon. Goodloe was shot and
fatally wounded. The men met in the
postoflice oorridor, and when each saw
who the other was they glared at each
other fieroely. Then some angry words
followed, when both suddenly drew
their weapons, Swope a pistol and Good
loe a olnsp knife. As soon as the weap
ons were drawa Bwope fired, and Good
loe knocked the, pistol down as it went
off, the ball entering his abdomen on the
right side. Goodloe then began stabbing
his opponent iu the breast with a knife.
After soveral blows had been struck by
"G'lodlnef. Swope fired again, missing
Goodloe. After firing the 'second Bunt, "
Colonel S wope fell on his face and welt
ering in blood died almost instantly.
On his person weio found thirteen
wounds, they being on the back, arms
and breast. Immediately after the kill
ing, Colonel Goodloe went to a physician,
where his wounds were examined. Ho
was perfectly oool, and made disposition
of his property, in case of death. The
cause of the difficulty was a statement
made in the republican convention May
1, 1880, by Goodloe that fully two-thirds
of the Fayette oounty delegation in the
convention did not speak to Swope.
Colonel Goodloe had been for years a
prominent man in Kentucky politics,
was minister to Belgium under Hayes,
and is a member of the national republi
can committee, being chairman of the
committee ou speakers. He is 45 years
of ago, married, and has eight children.
Colonel Swope was 45 years of age and
unmarried, and was a colleotor of inter
nal revenue under Grant and Hays.
At 11 o'clock Gqodloo was resting easy.
The physicians say that his oondition is
more hopeful. He is not under arrest.
Public sympathy is about equally divid
ed, but universal sorrow is expressed.

Wasiunoton, Nov. 8. Colonel Dudley
this afternoon, in response to a telegram
asking for particulars in regard to tho
tragedy at Lexington, received a mes
sage, stating that Gnodloe's wound wns
very serious, but not nocessarily fatal
Tho intelligeueo of the tragedy and its
probable fatal termination to both per
sons was a profound shock to a number
of persons in this city. Colonel Goodloe
had many friends here. As a member of
the republican national committee, ho
naturally enjoyed the confidence of the
chief public men of the republican party
and his courtesy aud genial naturo gave
him a warm plnne iu the affection of not
only those with whom he was fn "politic- ;
al aocord, but. of those with whom he
differed iu national affairs. By marriage
he is related to Senator Beck, of Ken
tucky. When in tbo city he was a fre
quent visitor at Senator Beak's resilience,
and he hud met many of the democratic
members of congress. Tho president
knew Colonel Goodloe well, and esteem
ed him highly. The news of his prob
able fatal shooting nlfectad him to a
most marked extent. The intelligence
seemed to stun the president, almost as
though it had heeu a near relative. The
book which ho was holding iu his band
at the time fell to the door, and for a few
minutes he paced nervously and ab
stractedly up und down. The subject is
the una topic of conversation hero to

or mora widely admired, than Colonel
Goodloe. The announcement of this
afternoon will be like a personal grief
to the thousands of republicans through
out the North. Colonel Goodloe could
have had recognition under the adminis
