He Isa Relative of Hedgepeth and a) Terror. i Jefferson City Tribune. James Officer, a relative of Marion ©. Hedgepeth, and at one time a member of the famous Hedgepeth gang, has just been received at the Missouri penitentiary. He is more dead than alive and it is thought won't survive long. “Jim” is filled with buckshot. Both bands and arms are riddled; his body is perforated in a dozen places and his head and face resem- ble a seive. He get all this for stealing horses near Springfield, Mo., and in addi- tion caught a five year sentence. Officer hails from Hiawatha, Kas., and has been a criminal since his boyhood. He associated himself with the most desperate bandits in Kansas and Missouri, and is sus pected of more than one killing. He and Hedgepeth worked together when Hedgepeth’s name began to be a terror to stockmen, railroad offici als, banks, etc. Detectives say that Hedgepeth was daring, but that} Officer was ten times more so.

The pres- ident took nobody into his confi dence. Mr MacVeagh was not thought of for the place aud nobody in cousequence expected his numina tion. Everybody admits that the appoiument isx good one. Some of the old time democrats would have preferred if a man of equal abil- ity could have been had of longer af- filiatien with the democratic party, but Mr. MacVeagh has been a dem ocrat since 1886. He was on the stump for Cleveland and Thurman in 1888 and actively supported the democratic ticket in 18g2. When he left the republican part& he announced that he was not mugwump, but a democrat. He hus never called himself a mugwump, but, on the contrary, he has insisted that he left the republican party he walked straight into the democratic party. Mr. MacVeagh, too, it must be said, joined the democratic party from principle.
