There was a wild rush made for Farley and Goodell, and they were dragged outside’and badly beaten. Some of the crowd went for ropes, and the two gamblers were given 10 minutes in which to say their pray- ers. This last suggestion, made by & cowboy who had heard Moody in San Francisco, was received with scorn by the gamblers. “Cattle Kate” and Mason secured the money in the drawer and about the place, and it is believed got several thou- sand dollars. Kate was disposed to be merciful now, and just as the two gamblers were being pinioned and the ropes begen to encircle their necks, she suggested that their place be burned down and that the the gamblers be given one chance for life.” “Give them a horse apiece and start them for Utah!” she urged. “I've got all their stuff here and if you'll ail come up to the ranch T'll divvy up.” That little speech saved two lives. A couvle of scrub ponies were fur- nished the “tin horn” gamblers, Kate gave them two $20 gold pieces and, amid the ratile of a hundred pistol shots, they were started, Ma- zeppa like, on their journey. Their pathway was lighted for some dis tance by the glare of their burning saloon, which was on fire after being pillaged. | The last seen of “Cattle Kate” | she was riding at the head of a big cavalcade, headed for her ranch.

Vaccination. In Paris where the law requiring vaccination is feebly enforced, the mortality from small-pox ranges from 136 to 10,1 to the 100,000 in- habitants, while in the principal German cities, where the the vaccin ation is ridgidly enforced, the death rate is but 1.44 to the 100,000 inhab itants. London under compulsory vaccination has death rate from smail pox of but 0.6 to the 100,000 inhab itants. While on the other hand, in the Canton of Zurich, in Switzerland, since the compulsory viccination law repealed in 1883, the death rate has steadily risen from 8 to 85 the 100,000 inhabitants.

Cole and Jesse, it is ) ue uow known, were the two men who went into the First National bank at Mankato few before the Northtield affair, and asked to have a $60 bill changed, after which they took a careful survey of the premises and went out. James Kelly, of Man- days kato claimed at the time to have recognized Jesse on the street in that city, having known him in Mis- souri, but the cutlaw denied his identity and the two disappeared. It is supposed that his recognition was what prevented them from mak- ing their attack on the bank at Mar- kato instead of Northfield. It is said that the Younger bruth- ers still vefuse to say whether Frank James, who is still living, was with them or not. A Family Exterminated.

Republic Boycott the “G-D.” Jefferson City, Feb. 14.--The re- publican members of the assembly held auother caucus to night for the purpose of organizing a boycott against the Globe-Democrat. The republican legislators, without a single exception, are friends and followers of “Boss” Filley, and they have no love for the leading repub- lican organ in this state. It is said that Flannigan led the bolt on the paper to-night, that he was assisted by representative Church, the Star- Sayings correspondent here, and it was finally agreed that they would refuse to buy the paper and that a system of boycott should be estab- lished all over the state. The Star Sayings was indorsed as the official republican paper of the state, be- cause it is published in the interest of “Boss” Filley. The speeches in the caucus to-night were made up of abuse of Editor McCullagh and the Giobe- Democrat.
