The eneounter with Smith was brief. One shot, the ball entering his heart, put him out of the way of interfering with Soto's designs. Smith had tried to brain Soto with an axe, but was not enough. Soto followed his wife and, after coming im contact with Lapiere, whom he wounded in the thigh after an exchange of half a dozen shots. turned upon Mrs Soto. Then he discarded his empty revolver and at- tacked her with the stiletto, inflict- ing nineteen wounds in her body. By this time Lapiere had notified the police and in response to the , call Captain Edwards and Sergeant | Monahan arrived on the scene on | horses. On the appearance of the Officers, Seto made his exit, but net until he bad fired four shots at his | daughter in his flight.

Incidents of Life inthe Eastern End of Indian Territory. Paris, Tex., July 8.—The eastern jend of the Indian country furnishes | some good news items, but the work | of unravelling is so slow that much | time elapses between the event and anything like a correct telling of its history. About one year since the store of | an old Indian at ;Doakesville, named , Times, was burglarized. Times charged Wm. Carpenter and one! Bob Moore with the crime. They were arrested and, after an examin- ing trial, released on bond. One of the witnesses against them was an indian youth. a son of Karney Ma- chiea. After giving bail Moore left the Choctaw ceuntry and was not heard of until he was arrested im Oklaho- ma, charged with being one of the! men who killed a young Indian iu the Pottawattomie country, for which | j crime he was tried and convicted at the recent term of the United States court at Guthrie. Since the examining trial of Cae penter and Moore, young Machiea has been shot and killed. He was bailing out his skiff at Kiomitia fer- ry on Red River when some unkown | person conceuled in the bushes shot jand killed him. The bey’s friends» jall believe Carpenter did it, aud they (all allege he had threatened to kill! the boy and other witness against him in the burglary case. June 27, about 5 a. w., Carpenter's wife heard shooting at the front of the house and running there saw her | husband, who had been standing by on the suspicion that revenge for the | killing of his own son furuished a motive for his joining in the killing. As Lee Irwin, a witness, return- \ing home from the examining trial j of Pritchett he was fired on between the railroad station and his home and received two wounds, but as his | assailants were well concealed he did j hot see them, and has no idea who 9 | they were.

Dublin, July 8.—The election held yesterday at Carlow for a successor | in Parliament to the late O’Gorman- Mahon has resulted in a crushing defeat for the Parnellite candidate in the district which Mr. Parnell ad- mitted was his stronghold, and where, if he was defeated, he would jadmit he had nothing left to fall back upon in his political life. The | result of the election as announced \ to-day was as follows: Hammond, the McCarthyite candi- date, 3,755. Kettle, Parnellite, 1,539. ty against Kettle, 2,216. Carlow 1s the smallest county in Ireland and contains a population of 45,000 people and an electorate of 7,000, of whom 1,000 are Conserva- tives. | Mr. Andrew Kettle, the Parnellite candidate, is 2 Dublin county, | Majori- defeated farmer of who has already been defeated twice at the polls. Mr. Hammond, the victorious Me- Carthyite, is a popular merchant of Carlow, where for two years past he has held the position of chairman of the town commissioners. Speaking at Carlow after the re- sult of the election was made known, Mr. Parnell said that he was not dis- heartened and that he would centin- ue to consolidate the indepéndent DR. J.
