Fennel, a young mining superintendent near there, shot and instantly killed William Holt, a noted desperado. Holt was on @ drunk and had already killed an Indian earlier in the evening. He drew his revolver on Fennel for some fancied grudge, but the mining man was too quick and put daylight through him. Fennel was discharg- ed, as the homicide was found justi- fiable. Fennel is from Texas and although only 21, isa veteran fighter and noted for his nerve in his encounters with Geronimo and his Apaches. When but a iad he and his brother, Gerald M. Fennel left their home in the east and went to Texas, where they pur- chased a large cattle ranch. Later they engaged in buying horses and mules, driving them north to sell.

Fennel had an experience iv 1876, when he was 18 years old, that would have been a severe test to the grit and courage of many an older man. In that year Geronimo was on the war-path, spreading terror throughout Arizona and New Mexi- co. During this reign of terror Fen- nel rode through the Indian country to the ranch of a friend named Soc- orro, New Mexico. At‘ this ranch he found only his friend and a cow- boy, who had up to that time held their own against the Apaches who were trying to run off the cattle. The cattle were driven into a corral close to the house every night, and the two men were often obliged to fire their rifles through holes to frighten the marauders away.

To this end aband of about twenty Apaches, headed by Geronimo, stormed the log cabin. The attack was made one moonlight night. The attacking party formed two divisions and came sulking behind rocks, bushes and trees. The fight lasted all night. Several Indians were killed, but the besieged escaped with only one slight wound. Fennel stood at his loophole firing rapidly his Winches- ter whenever he caught a glimpse of an Indian. All his companions were old enough to be his father, but they united in praising his bravery.

Yet the Judge Declared There Was not Sufficient Evidence. Cassopolis, Mich., July 10.—At the May term of the Circuit Court Louis Grant was convicted for the second time of murder in the sec ond degree, and the court assembled Monday to pass sentence. Wilson’s attorney made a plea for a new trial and in passing an opinion upon that plea Judge O'Hare caused in- tense surprise and excitement by declaring that although the man had been pronounced guilty by juries, there was not sufficient evidence. The Judge then added to the excite- ment by overruling the motion for a new trial and sentencing the prison- er to ten years in the Jackson peni- tentiary. Wilson was about to sit down over- whelmed by the sentence, when or- dered to wait, and reiterating his be- lief in the man’s innocence, said he would have the court Stenographer, at public expense, make a copy of the record, so that the accused might go to the Supreme Court at little ex- pense. Judge O'Hare begged the people present in the court room to rally to the defence of greatly wrong- ed man, and ardently hoped that the Supreme Court would reverse his ruling whereby the conviction had been possible. The Judge said he himself would pay part of the ex- penses. This done Judge O'Hare adjourn- ed court, leaving the lawyers ata loss to understand what had happen- ed, and ordered his Rorse unhitched, although it was early in the after- noon, and set out for his home at Berner Springs. Judge O'Hare has long been known for his eccentrici- ties.

The Boston Herald prints a num- ber of letters recently found among the papers left by ex-President Franklin Pierce at his home in New Hampshire. Among them is the following: Washington D. C., January 21, 1861.—My Dear friend: I have often and sadly turned my thoughts to you during the troublesome times through which we have been passing and now I come to the hard task of announcing to you that the hour is at hand which closes my connection with the United States. for the in- dependence and union of which my father fought, and in the service of which I have sought to emulate the example he set for my guidance. Mississippi, not as a matter of choice but of neccessity, has resolved to enter the trial of seccession. Those who have driven her to this alter- native threaten to deprive her of the right to require that her government shall rest on the consent of the gov- erned, to substitute foreign force for domestic support, to reduce a state tothe condition from which the colony rose. In the attempt to avoid the issue which had been join- ed by the country, the present fad- ministration has complicated and precipitated the question. Even now if the duty “to preserve the public property” was rationally regarded the collision at Charleston would be avoided. Security far better than any which the Federal troops can give might be obtained in consider- ation of the little garrison of Fort Sumpier. Ifthe disavowal of any purpose to coerce South Carolina be sincere, the possession of a work to command is worse than useless. When Lincoln comes in he will have but to continue im the path of his predecessor to inaugerate a civil war and leave a soi-distant Demo- cratic Administration responsible | forthe fact. Gen. Cushman was | here last week, and when we parted | it seemed like taking a last leave of i a brother. er circumstances demand shall be| met as a duty, and I trust be so dis- charged that you will not be asham- ed of our former acquaintance or cease to be my friend. I had hopes this summer to have had an opportunity of seeing your- self and Mrs. Pierce, and to have shown you our children. Mrs. Da- vis was sorely disappointed when we turned southward without seeing you. Ibelieveshe wrote to Mrs. Pierce in explanation of the circum- stances which prevented us from ex- euting our cherished plan of a visit to you when we should leave West Point. Mrs. Davis sendskind remembrance | to Mrs. Pierce, and the expression of the hope that we may yet have you both at our country home. me the favor to write often. Address P. O., Warren county Miss.

Warranted. Sold by W. J. Lansdown, Druggist, But- er, Mo. Tiel yr Black-mailing a Woman. Los Angeles, Cal. July 10.—A novel black-mailing scheme—one that isa complete reversal of the usual way of doing such things— came to the surface to-day. The principals in the affair are Frank Harris, a confidence man and Belle, his alleged wife, who sails under the alias of Belle Mays; George Miller of Kansas City and Margaret Miller, his wife. Harris who is gray haired and distinguished looking made a favor- able impression on Mrs. Miller dur- ing her husband’s enforced absence. This lady, although 43 years of age, has according to Harris, a very warm heart. The intimacy eulmi- nated in a champagne supper in a high priced restaurant and an ar- rangement for a dinner at a private hotel. Mrs Miller left a note at home for her husband, stating that she had gone to visit friends and that she would not be back at her accustomed hour. She then put on her richest attire, with expensive jewelry, and went to the trysting place, where she was met by Harris. After a dainty supper and cham- pagne Mrs. Miller was horrified to suddenly see the door communica- ted with an adjoining roomfopen and Mrs. Harris appear. The woman seemed frantic, and a revolver in hand advanced upon Mrs. Miller and after threatenig to kill her de- manded $2,500 in cash as the price of her silence. Mrs. Miller’s plead- ings were unavailing. A compro- mise was finally effected by Mrs. Miller handing over all the Jewelry on her person and promising to pay the money. The Jewelry consisted of a diamond crescent brooch, a soli- taire ring, a pair ofeardrops and a cluster ring, all valued at $1,500. The Harrises then left the room and Mrs. Miller went home a dazed condition Her extreme nerv- ousness caused Mr. Miller uneasi- ness and finally Mrs. Miller told her husband the whole story. She said she was innocent and had been lured to the room. in Miller started out and met Harris | infront of the hotel. He struck him and in the fight that followed the Kansas City man came out first best. Hehad Harris and his wife arrested on the charge of black-mail, and at an examination to-day the the pair were held in $25,000 bonds. The examination will be concluded next Wednesday. when fuller details will come out. Shpping Past the Patate. Without nauseating those who take them, the little, sugar-coated Gran- ules, known all over the land as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, produce an effect upon the bowels very different from thatof a disa- greeable, violent purgative. No griping or drenching follows, as in the case of a drastic cholagogue. The relief to the intestines resem- bles the action of nature in her hap- piest moods, the impulse given to the dormant liver is of the most salutatory kind, and is speedi- ly manifested by the disappearance | of all billlous symptoms.
