Chas. F. Vail was killed by a fall- ing elevator in St. Louis last week. He had an eventful career. On Feb- ruary 19, 1890, he was arrested at St. Charles, Mo., on the charge of murdering his young wife, to whom he had been but seven months They were visiting in the country at the time the shooting oc- curred. As he was assisting his wife intoa buggy his revolver was dis- charged, and the bullet entered Mrs. Vail’s abdomen. Mr. Vail satisfied the court that the revolver was ae- cidentaily discharged by the ham-| mer striking the wheel. The case! was not settled without several trials and a change of venue.

At ail events it isthe plain duty of the democrats to take the tax off the necessaries of life, and they will be derelict in their duty if they fail to do so.-—Jefferson City Tribune. Tackled the Wrong Family. Clillicothe, Mo , July 28 —Yester- day vas a regular tield day with the Ledbetters, father and son, of Chilli- cothe township. The family reside in the wilds of the Grand river and Medic:ne Creek bottoms, ad their neighbors are somewhat like the surro nding country. Willam Lank- ford aud Sam Anderson have had a grudge against young Ledbetter, for some time, and yesterday went to his home to do him up. The Led- bettcrs retreated to their house, which they barricaded, when Lank- ford beat in the door with an iron pot which he found in the yard. As he entered the docr Ledbetter,junior fired both barrels of a shotgun at him, sixty four of the No 8 shot] striking him in the breast and forty- eight lodging in his left arm. Lank- ford and Anderson left for the form- er’s home and a doctor was sent for- Young Ledbetter mounted a horse and came to town, gave himself up and was committed to jail. Half an hour later Anderson re- renewed the fight, using a knife on old man Ledbetter bat the latter got in his work witha revolver and shot Anderson through the body. He will probably die. The Ledbet- ters, were released on a bond of the deceased he was obliged to sue! to recover the insurance, part of | which has been paid and the balance | is still in litigation. | A bold express robbery was pers | petrated at Wichita, Kan., Saturda night at 6:30 o'clock. The Pacifi express wagon was telephoned to call at the Creamery, directly across | from the Cranford Grand Opera House. When the wagon reached! the Creamery two negroes told the driver to drive around to the alley; where some butter was ready for) shipment. At the alley a third ne-| gro sprang up with arevolver. The! other two also drew guns, and the massenger and driver were complete- ly covered. The former was forced | to open the small safe with which the wagon was supplied, and one of the negroes removed the money packages from it, taking $7,500.) They then escaped in the darkness. At the time of the robbery there were fully a thousand people on the streets not more than a block away. The St. Louis Chronicle is calling on the democratic editors of Mis- souri for an expression of opinion in regard to national finances. So far as heard from, the editors favor the free coinafe of silver. This result need surprise no one. Every con- gressman from the state with a sin- gle exception, was elected on a plat- form favoring silver coinage, and ninety nine out of every hundred appear August 1.
