Ottawa, Kan., Nov. 22—Five young men started out last night to {uke in the town and have a good time. Asaresult Charley Lathrop ig dead, shot through the heart. fam Lathrop, his brother, has a dangerous wound in the breast, while Ben Sherman is in jail charged with murder. Asa consequence of the affair, Undertaker Session hes at ius home stabbed in the side, re eeived in a scuffle by a rival under takers oyer the corpse. Charles and Ham Lathrop of the grocery and butcher firm of Lathrop Brothers, together with W A. Rus sell, representing Armour’s Packing company, and James Gover and Al Lane, two young men about town, started out last night to see the sights. About midnight they wan dered down in the First ward where fome questionable characters reside but undoubtedly missed the place in- tended to visit. They knocked at the door of Mrs. Sherman's home and demanded admittance, which was refused. Mrs. Sherman called to her son, Ben Sherman, who had retired for the night. He arose and remonstrated with the men, but they insisted upon entering the house and talked very ugly. His mother hand- ed him a revolver. Again he warned them away and discharged the pis tol over their heads. This emboldened the men and they advanced. One of the Lathrops remarked: “Put up that revolver, (ve eaten bigger guns than that” Sherman fired twice more, this time in earnest, and Ham Lathrop stag- gered back with bullet in his breast, just in time to catch Charles, who was shot iu the heart and died instantly. The other three men rau for officers and assistance. Siierman returned to the house after the shouting and remained there until the arrival of the officers when he quietly submitted to arrest and was placed in jail. This mornivg Chalmers & Co.,and Clark & Session, two rival undertak ing firms, got into an argument over the possession of Lathrop’s body, a scuffle ensued and blows were struck. After the melee it was discovered that Session had received a severe stab in the left side just above the hip. A gash one and a half inches jong was cut which the surgeons probed to the depth of three inches. As the wound is bleeding very little internal hemorrhage is feared. The coroner held an inquest this afternoon and the jury brought ina verdict in accordance with above facta. George Chalmers, Charles Avenarius and George Miller were arrested, charged with the stabbing of Session. The two former are out on $1,000 bail while the latter is in jail in default of $5,000 bond. TWELVE YEARS OLD. Ray York. a Warrensburg Lad Elec- tritying Sinners in St. Joe. St. Joe News. North St. Joseph people are being electrified by exhortations of a boy preacher, a mere child in wide collar and knickerbockers. Ray E. York is the little fellow’s name and he believes he is a child of destiny, called by the Master to save the erring ones; called to preach the gospel to sinners, and he is doing it. A series of revival meetings are held in the Savannah Avenue Baptist church and the boy preacher holds forth in the pulpit each night. Ray E. York, the boy preacher, is only twelve years old. He was born in the town of Abilene, Kan., but his home is now Warrensburg, Mo. Hie father is an ordinary chris- tian man and a painter by trade. His mother is a good christian, and the only other member of the fami- christian also. Tbe manuer in which the little boy claims to have discov- a steady stream of northern imumi-! ‘ered that he was “called” to the! pulpit is peculiar in the extreme and interesting At his home in Warrensburg he bad always beeu a regular attendant! political and was one of the causes “This thing started in before wy term of office expired and gratiou was pouring into the south- ern counties tributary to Sprisytield | The sig- long before I went out. nificance is not only commercial but ees ar , Deacon Bros. & Co. at divine service and at Sunday! of what ‘did it, aud I believe was the i school of the Baptist chureb. | day the pastor,Rev H.

This was in February last, and since then | he has been preaching at different | towns in the state most of the time The Savannah avenue Baptist church was crowded to hear the boy, | who says he has a divine mission to, preach. The usual service of song| and prayer preceded the preaching, | then the boy stepped to the front of! the platform aud the people lapsed | into perfect quietuess. Ray looks very much like any other child of | twelve and was dreesed no different. In his fuce, however, is au older | look and an expression of a vast in- telligence unseen in the average urchin. His hair is worn short and displays to the best advantage his high forehead and well shaped head. ; His voice has the childish treble, but is remarkably strong and clear. His actions are those of a child, «x-| cept his enunciation in the pulpit. which is as slow and drawling as a! man of sixty, and unnatural. “Tt is not my intention to preach to-night, but to talk to you.” said the boy preacher, ‘therefore I shall choose no text” He read a passage from the Bible and made a prayer, then preached about Paul and Silas being cast into prison. “Have you ever been imprisoned,” he asked, “like Paul and Silas, aud unable to come to your Sxyior? I have heard of cases imprisoned by sin but not like Paul and Silas.” One or two smiled at the little boy calling up distant recollections in his career of twelve long years. He then implored the people to accept and trust in the Savior ere it was too late, and asked them to get on} the right side before dissolution. “I bave talked toa great many people and asked them, ‘Can you not trust Him?’ but it is difficult to| get them to understand the plan, it is so simple” The boy talked about thirty minutes and the people listen- ed to hir intently. He will become a minister when he has attained the proper age. The meetings at the eburch will continue all week.

Springtield Democrat. | Ten or fifteen prairie schooners | from Daviess county. Missouri, and | northern srates stacked arms on the| public square yesterday and attract-| ed much comment. Most of the emigrants were bound for Taney county. They were of the better sort of emigrants and some of them had horses which would bring a neat figure in the market. Register J. G. Newbiil, of the United States land office, was one of the interest- ed spectators. Said he: “The local land office is doing more business now than it has for tea or fifteen years. We did the usual amount of business to-day and it is necessary for us to work until late nearly every night to keep up with the rush. We are behind, though, and there is still no let up.” He was asked if this thing did not let up if all the land would not soon be taken up and the country be par- alyzed by finding another statesman out of a job. The people need not waste any sleep over that. Death and a brutal republican majority are about all that can separate a democrat and an office. Notwithstanding this rush we still have afew farms left. In fact there are 500,000 ‘acres on file at the land office and while so many people have been going to Taney couatyfin the last two years there is yet left in that county alone 130,000 acres catego + Modem government.
