The Net Besult of the Shooting- in no Alans Land, Libebal, Sewahd County, July 28 The bodies of four men killed by the Hngoton party were brought to Voorhees, Stevens county night before last, and with the wounded boy, Herbert Toney afterwards taken to Woodsdale.

No furthor shooting has been reported, but armed squads of Husroton and Woodsdale people, seen by travellers in different parts of the country, may provoke another conflict. Herbert Toney, the 19 year-old boy who seriously wounded, made an ante-mortem statement at Voorhees, July 2ii, sworn before LI. V. Decker, a notary, as follows: "On July 24, 1888, he went in company with John Cross, sheriff of Stevens county, to arrest Sam Robinson, then said to be in the neutral strip. We went down to the neutral strip, but failing to find Robinson we proceeded to a ravine on July 27, and stopped to remain awhile and reBt our horses.

We lay down at a hay stack to rest, and in about a half an hour I heard the sheriff say, "boys, they have got us." I looked and saw they were all around ns, their number consisting of about twenty men. I am not able to namo all, but recognized Ham Robinson, J. P. Chamberlain, Charles Cook, Orrin Cook, J. W.

Calvert and a man named Rigely and McDonald, who live north of Hngoton. The men closed in upon us, and Sam Robinson demanded of Sheriff CrosB that he give up his arms. Cross roplied that ho did not have any, whereupon, Robinson saying, "Sheriff Cross you are my first man," raised his Winchester and fired, and Cross fell. Robinson then asked Hubbard if he had any arms, and before Hubbard made any reply, RobinBon fired and Hubbard fell. About that time I was searched for arms by J.

B. Chamberlain, one of the county commissioners of Stevens county, who had taken me in charge. I heard Robinson say he had shot Eaton, the fellow who had formerly pulled a gun on him. After Chamberlain hud searched me and taken my pistol, he stepped book three steps, asked me why we were down hero and immediately drawing his Winchester fired upon me without waiting for an explanation. By a sudden motion on my part he failed to hit me full iu the breast and I received the shot in the shoulder and fell.

They proceeded to look for another of the sheriff's posse, Wilcox by name. They found him and I heard them sh'-ot Wilcox. They failed to kill him at the first shot, as I heard him groan and heard them say "Shoot I think Robinson shot him first, but don't know who shot him the second time. I was fifteen feet from where he was shot. The posse consisted of myself, Eaton, Hubbard, Wilcox and John Cross, sheriff.

While I lay on the ground they searched my pockets, took my belt and then pulled mo around to see if I was dead. A question was asked by some if I was dead, and I heard the reply that I was. I held my breath to make them think I was dead. The then proceeded to searoh the others and heard cartridges rattle and the remark made that they had plenty of amn-nition now. After this I heard several more Bhots and heard Robinson say, "I want to make sure that they are all dead." They came to me three or four times and pulled me around to see if I was dead.

I heard Chamberlain remark he was satisfied I was dead and I was unknown. He thought I lived in the strip, alio thought that Wilcox was from the strip. There were three or four men camped near where we were shot, engaged in making hay who were witnesses of the shooting. They said they did not want to remain there as people might think they were accomplices to the crime. They, together with Robin-sou, Cook, Calvert and others, held a talk and Robinson asked these men if they were the party that went south iu the morning and if it waR, where was the other man.

The reply was that it was the same party, with the exception of one man, who they supposed remained' south. The men engaged in making hay, took no part in tho shooting, or our capture.and left in company with those who had done the shooting and all went north together. Robinson told them to say nothing about the shooting and threatened any man who told on him. After they left 1 proceeded the best -i o. avors a reuuciiou or icuer postage, 7.

that every child shall acquire a good education, which is necessary for the preservation of free institutions. 8- Is in favor of civil service reform, as established by the republican party, and against it as debauched by the democratic party. 9. Doclares that the gratitude of the nation to the defenders of the union, cannot be measured by laws, and favors liberal pensions in accordance with the pledges, both expressed and implied, to the soldier when he enlisted, to the end that no union soldier shall want for bread; and denonnces the democratic vetoes that send the union soldierB to the alms-houses. 10.

Expresses a cordial sympathy with all wise and well-directed efforts for the promotion of temperance and morality. Approving withont reserve this clear expression of republican faith, we heartily endorse the nomination, by that convention, of Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, and Levi P. Morton, of New York, for president and vice-president of the United States, and we pledge to the country our undivided support, and express our confident belief in their triumphant election. We believe the "solid south" will be broken, and thus insure the perpetuity of the union in peace and prosperity. We approve and commend our state administration as wise, prudent, economical and just.

All the officers have been faithful to their trusts, and are deserving of high commendation. The republican party, always full of sympathy for all men of all nations struggling for liberty, expresses the liveliest interest in the progress of home rule for Ireland. The blood of the Irish-American has stained ev. ery battle-field while struggling for liberty in America, and Amerioans cannot remain indifferent during the struggle the Irish people are making for home rule, and justice against English tyranny. We believe in the protection of the horns against the saloon.

We demand the complete exeoution of the prohibitory laws in every part of the state, including the vigorous prosecution of officers who fail to perform their duties under the law. The republican party of Kansas is convinced that prohibition is right, and is a success, and we assert that those who seek a refuge in the third, or prohibition party, blindly seek a revolution in our government for that which a revolution cannot give. We point with pride to the fact that the laws of Kansas, protecting the rights and interests of wageworkers and laborers are far iu advance of those of any other state in the union. We pledge a continuance of that policy against all encroachments. The oondition of American laborers, superior as they are to those of Europe, must be not only protected, bnt promoted and elevated.

We demand stringent laws to protect our workimrmen against contract, pauper, or Washington, 0. July 20.

Pittsburg Headlight Thomas Bi vins, a farmer living a few milos north of tha city, in eliding from the top ot a grain stack to the ground, a few evening ago, struck against a pitchfork, with which his son was bracing the stack, with his side.

The times of the fork entered the side, irflicting serious if not fatal injuries. Hoi ton Signal: A marriage occurred in the pouth part of this county recently which will never ba equaled as an example of womanly kindness and nuselfish devotion to her sex. A Bohemian woman who has lived with her husband a number ot years consented that he should ba granted a divorce from her in the courts of Shawnee county and that he should marry her neioe a younger and more comely woman. The reason the woman gave for this strange course was that she wanted her neice, to have a good husband. Sinoe their marriage, our informant states that the ex-wife lives with them and appears happy.

Frankfort Bee: Quite a senpation was created in Frankfort recently by the the news that Mrs. Soholtz had committed snicide by taking strychnine. The cause that leads to the ead oconrr-ance is snbstonfially asfollows; Four months einee she had married Frederick Scholfz. Prior to that she ba.l loved Otto Scholfz, but they had quarreled. She never censed to love him however, and shortly before the tragedy she proposed to Otto that they run away and leave the husband.

This Otto refused to do, and told his brother about it. When she saw that she could not have Otto for a partner she said she would not live withont him. The deceased was not quite eighteen and was a very attractive Wiring Holton Signal: A few days ago Jesse Holton, a colored man 6eveuty-three years of age, brought into Probate Judge Wilson's office a white girl, named Emma Jesse, of Salinn, aged twenty-one, and asked the judge to unite them in marriage. After asking the girl some questions, the judge concluded that he did not care to gratify their desire for connubial blies and so in'ormed them. Their faces were somewhat downcast as they departed to secure the services of a clergyman would cement them for life.

After several unsuccessful efforts to find some one to marry them, Holton gave up the white girl and again appeared before Judge Wilson. This time he had on his arm a bright colored girl who gave her name as Tammy Johnson, of Lexington, aged twenty-four years. There was no getting out of it, and the judge made them one. Holton's persistency is to be admired and his seemingly unlimited stock of sweet-hearts is something few white men yonnger than he can rely upon. Garden Oily Sentinel: Another chapter has been added to the horse stealing case in Syracuse.

The Sentinel contained a full account of the arrest, return to Syracuse, preliminary examination, and commitment of the two female horse-thieves who stole the team and buggy from Sanford on the 3d inst. After the preliminary examination, an examination ot their effects was made. The baggage looked very much as though the cilioers had been made the victim's of a hoax as to the sex of the prisoners. A considerable sum of money was found and a number of wigs. ThcRe in authority oommenced to smell a very large mouse.

Au investigation followed. Not being certain, it was rather a delicate matter, but was finally completed and resulted in the discovery that the alleged females were of the sterner set. The explosion which followed can better ba imagined than described. The officers were elated and the prisoners didn't eeem to care a straw. rChe latter became stubborn and would give no account of themselves, nor can any be found.

By some they were suspected of being the La Junta bank robbeis, but, as the bank was robbed twelve days after the horses were stolen, that cannot be. The identity of the men remains a secret, but the mystery will doubtless soon be cleared attorney general, u. U. Kellogg, ot Lyons; for superintendent of public instruction, G. W.

Winans, of Davis. No Marriage Certificate Needed. New Yobk, July 30. When William R. Hynes was killed in London, England, in 1874, his sisters took possession of his property iu this city, and in Kentucky and Tennessee, valued at about $200,000.

General Myers and Attorney General Bradford arrived here yestorday afternoon, and soon alter started for Stevens prevent further bloodshed, and presumably to arrest the parties who killed Sheriff Cross and his deputies. M. Hughes arrived from Hugoton this afternoon with dispatches from General yers to Governor Martin.

It is believed bat he asks for troops to be sent to him to suable him to disarm both factions, and to irrest the ringleadors on both sides. There was no disturbance yesterday up to the time that Hughes left Hugoton to-day. Everything had been quiet but the trouble is not over yet by any means. The Hugoton people are well armed and ready for any emergency, expecting that the Woodsdale people will take thoir vengeance whenever they get a chance. Nii eteen Winchester ritles were brought into Woodsdale yesterday by Ed Short.

Very few farmers of Stevens county are taking sides and the quarrel is confined to the inhabitants of the two towns mentioned. The two officers sent out by the governor may succeed in preventing bloodshed while they are present, but as soon as they are gone trouble likely to break out afresh at any time. The Woodsdale people believe some of the inhabitants of Hngoton ought to be killed if they don't leave the country, and the Hugoton people entertain the same ideas in regard to certain citizens of Woodsdale. There is personal enmity at play, outside the fight, for supremacy between the two towns, and the tragedy in the neutral strip may be reenacted on a small or largo scalo, whenever an opportunity is offered. each time the decision of the court of last resort being in her favor.

Hacker were milking, when McGurl leaned over the fence and this maddened him. Jumping over the fenoe he went close np to Hacker and gave him a shove. He fell against the cow, which kicked Mrs. Hacker. The husband ran into the house, got a gun and was about to end the argument when his wife got between them, and beseeched the old man to go back.

This he started to do, but as soon as his back was turned. MoGnrl hit Mrs. Hacker, standard which American workingmen are struggling to maintain. We favor American markets for American products, and American wages for the workingmen of America. And we favor Buoh additional legislation as will secure weekly payments of wages to employes of municipal and private corporations, and also a practical apprenticeship law, so that our handicraftsmen may have additional protection against foreign labor.

All so-called "trusts" or combinations to monopolize food supplies or control productions are dangerous to the interests of the people, and should be prohibited under the severest penalties of law. The "trust" or combination of the packing-houses to drive out of business all other butchers, and thus control the cattle markets, as well as the supply and prices of dressed mea's, is especially obnoxious, and destructive to the interests of all classes of the people, and particularly to those in western states. The republican party will ever retain a sense of gratitude to those through whose valor Kansas and the nation became free, and the union of our states preserved. We especially commend the action of the legislature in making provision for the maintenance of orphans of sold ers in a soldiers' orphans' home, and we heartily endorse the resolutions adopted by the Grand Army of the Repablio at its last state encampment at Winfield on the subject of pensions, and we pledge the republican party of Kansas to do all in its power to carry cut the wishes of the ex-union soldiers, siilors and marines of the country upon this subject, as expressed through the state aud national encampment of the Grand Army. We request our railroad commissioners to do all iu their power to protect the farmers of this state against the excessive charges in the removal of the vast crops assured to Kansas this year.

We favor legislation reducing the legal rate of interest opon money to six per cent, reducing the maximum contract rate to ten per cent, prohibiting usury, and providing penalties for violation thereof- knocking her down. Hacker paused on the steps of the bouse, and looked around saw MoGnrl making for his home. He raised his gun and nred. McGurl leu, wun tne charge in his left breast Krolin's Character Vindicated, Indian Caustag Trouble In Arizona, Washington, D. July 81.

The war department has received a telegram from the commanding officials at Carlos, Arizona, as follows: At the request of the Indian agent yesterday, the captain of the Twelfth cavalry, with his troops and some scouts, went up San Carlos river to arrest three Indians, reported intrenohed in the rocks. Upon their arrival they found that they had fled. The command followed several trails, upon one of which they were found. Scouts exchanged shots with a small party said to belong to Cassadai's band. The scouts think they killed one Indian.

About 5 or 6 p. some scouts and herders driving 250 agency cattle to the grazing camp, were attacked by a party of Indians, fifteen miles from here. The scouts and herders tied, and what became of the cattle is as yet unknown. Captain Iee was at the grazing camp last night All that is possible will be done to quiet the Indians, but there may be serious trouble. The bands are those of Cassadai's and C'bilcuana.

It is thought that if the Indians leave the reservation, thev will go north and west PAtchibon, July 30. The Atchison Patriot of this evening, publishes a retraction of its recent scandalous artiole on Dr. Phillip Krohn. The retraction states that the parties who bad furnished its reporter with the information, upon which the article in Question was based, having since acknowledged that their statements are not true, coupled with the fact that Hon. S.

O. King positively declares that he was with Dr. Krohn on the night referred to and that he could not therefore have been where the Patriot located him, it makes the retraction, not having any desire to publish anything but the truth concerning anybody..
