Worland was as the scene of a small shooting affray last Monday night but no blood was spilled. The facts as near as we can find out areas follows: Wm. Hinkle had been in Chas. Emmil’s saloon and had be- come boisterous and Emmil reques- ed him to keep quiet, and upon his refusal to do so Emmi! forcibly ejected him from the house, where- upon Hinkle went after a gun and fired two shots through the door, but luckily the bullets bit no one.— Foster Index. Mr. Austin is so solicitous about | the Truzs’ patent medicine adver-| tisements, we cull a few of the most prominent which appears on the patent side of his paper: “August Flower;” Prickley Ash Bitter;” “Ely's Cream Balm;” “The Medical Reform Society of London;” “Dr. Harter’s;” “Hostetter’s Bitters;” “Syrup of Figs;” “Carter's Pills;" “Dr. Bull's Worm Medicine:” etc’ -These are given gratuitous circulation by Mr. Austin, presumably for the good of humanity. He doesn’t realize a cent from them. Joe. T. Smith, one of the oldest residents and most popular citizens of Walnut township gave us a pleas- ant call Thursday. He is chock full of reminisceuces of the good old days just after the war, when dem ocrats were prevented from regis- tering and were run away from the polls by the “truly loyal.” He also recalled the time when Pieree Hack- ett paraded his democracy, as he is now doing his uaiou-laborism, when he delighted in the euphovious title of the “old democratic war horse.’ But those good old times are changed and sadly degenerated, and Pierce is trying to beat the party that failed to recognize his worth by giving him a fat office. Williamson, the condemned mur- derer, now awaiting executing in the Sedalia jail, has made a full confession of his crime and giv- en a history of his past life. From his own story there is not one single feature of his case that would sug- gest executive clemency. He has been a thief, a perjurer, a villian of the deepest dye from his boyhood and this is not the first — laid at bis door. He is thoroughly de- praved and his conscience has not been troubled of hisgcrimes. He is repentant now in order to save his worthless neck, but there is no as- surance that, should he escape a just retribution, he would not commit orther crimes equally enormous. Such wretches as Williamson, by his own statement makes himeelf, can serve society better by being placed beyond the reach of tempta- tion Judge D. R. Braden favored us while in the city Friday. He recalled the time when he, as an ex-union soldier, had to stand sponser for Pierce Hackett to enable him tore- turn to this county. But Pierce has forgotten those things and now he and some of his followers de- light to refer to his protector as a “Thieving red-leg,” ete. Such men as D. R. Braden will ever have the honor aud respect of the ex-confed- erate soldier, for the manly course they pursued in those stirring times ‘and but for whose iuterference jand exercising the right of Ameri ican | | freemen.

Patterson, who was in the city Monday,we learned the sad | particulars of a frightful accident | which befell Mrs. Samuel Buntz,at a | camp fire on the Marias des Cygne} river afew miles southwest of this | city Sunday evening last |Samuel Buntz, his wife and twe | gentlemen, relatives of the family. | They had come down from their) jhome at Argentine, a small town | near Kansas City, to gather hickory jnuts aud camped near the river. | Sunday evening Mrs. Buntz began |to prepare supper over the camp |fireand in the absence of the men 'who had goue to the creek for | water, her clothing caught fire and before assistance could arrive every article of wearing apparel ou her person except her corset was burued. off She was taken to the residence of Wm. Allen, a farmer near by, and a messenger was dispatched to Dr. Boulware, who arrived in due time, but found the lady's condition be yond medical skill. Her limbs, back, arms and hands were burned in ahorrible manner, the skiu curl ed up in rolls. The accident happened at about 6 o'clock in the evening and the lady lingered until 3 o'clock Monday morning when death ended her suf- | ferings. Monday the remaius were shipped home for burial. The death of Miss Joan Duke, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C C. Duke. which occurred in this city Friday morning, caused universal svrrow throughout our city, aud the | family have the undivided sympathy of our peopie.- The cause of her death is attributed to the dregs of la grippe left in ber system from se vere attack of tbe disease about a year ago. She was prostrated for seven long weeks and several times during her sickness all hope of her recovery was abandoned. ‘Then she would rally and the family would take new hope, but the disease had taken such a firm hold upon her sys- tem and she became so emaciated {from ‘long suffering she was uvable to stand the strain, notwithstanding the medical treatinent, the prayers, tender and loving care of father, mother and kind friends who admin- istered to her every want, day and night, the Lord wanted her and the Lord called her home. Miss Duke was 22 years of age, born and raised in this county and a deyoted nem- ber of the Baptist church, a consia- tent christian lady, and theugh the keys of the organ that she so faith fully performed on at the Sunday school services will feel her gentle touch no more forever,but her faith - fulnessto church duties and good influence left behind will always re- main in the hearts of associates. The funeral services took place at the Baptist church Saturday and wae largely attended, after which the remains were Jaid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery. ———— Prof. J. C.

Over in Daviess county, Indiana, the other day the coun ty auditor em- ployed two men to saturate the books in his office with coal oil and set them on fire. The fire was discovered and extinguished and a greater part of the books saved. It seers the county had ord-red an investigation of the auditor's records. His two emissaries turued states evidence when arrested. Great excitement prevails throughout the county and there is some apprebension that mob violence will be done the auditor. The fire caused about $40,000 dam- ages to building and records.
