Columbus, Kas., Feb. 26.—James Briges, a farmer living about four Ailes northwest of this city, suicided this morning by blowing out his brains with a double barreled shot gun. Members of his family heard a shot fired at the corn crib and going there found Briggs in a dying condi- tion. He lived but a few minutes after firing the fatal shot. Word was brought to Sheriff Sparks and he im- mediately notified the coroner, who arrived here at noon and immediate- ly went to the scene of the crime to investigate it. It is not known what prompted Briggs to commit the terrible act, His financial circumstances were “good and so far asknown, his family relations were pleasant. He was con- sidered a good citizen and prosper- wifus farmer. He had lived in that sommunity where he ended his ca- reer for a number of yearsand raised a large family. An Editor Stabbed. Muscogee, I. T., Feb. 27.—K. W. Whitemore, proprietor of the Checo- tah Enquirer, and one of the best known men of the territory, was stabbed this morning in his office by aman named G. F. Crain. Ac: cording to an eye witness, a settle- ment of accounts was taking place, when Crain, becoming angered dur- ing a dispute that had arisen, seized asharp paper cutter and stabbed Whitemore.’ The wound took effect in the stomach and penetrated te settlement of the account, White- more’s brother drew a gun on him and that he stabbed the first one he could reach, in self-defense. This statement is not borne out by the others present. Whitemore was un- conscious in a few moments after be- ing stabbed and was given up for dead. He was removed to his home and surgeons from Muscogee and of the Democrats. | Des Moines, lo., Feb. 27.—The ' threats of political enemies to pre- j Vent the return of Speaker Henderson | to congress have called for a second letter from him on the tariff ques- tion. To J. W. Adams, a constitu- ent of Waverly, he writes: “It is Babeockism that is disturb- ing our people, or rather, back of that, the trusts, the aim being to strike at the steel trust and the glass trust, but there is no need of a general revision of the tariff law. The aim isto hit the trusts. In thisaim | thoroughly sympathize, but if the steel trust is selling abroad and beating foreign competitors, how are we going to kill the trast by reducing the tariff or putting steel on the free list? That is the democratic remedy pure and simple. It is Bryanism and cannot be ef- fective without disturbing other in- dustries which are essential to the happiness and prosperity of the na- tion.” The question of tariff revision, he says, is being considered.

London, Feb, 26.—An American named Charles Brown narrowly es- caped lynching at South Shields, Durban, this afternoon after killing a fellow sailor. A general fight oc- curred on board the Liverpool steam- ashore. Here he was captured by a constable after a hard fight on the dock and it was with difficuley that he was protected from the mob, Brown was carried to the police station and as the constable laid the American’s revolver on the table a cartridge exploded and the bullet seriously wounding another sailor, For all pulmonary troubles Bal- depth ot-onlyforty-five feet. —T lard’s Horehound Syrup, taken in the early stages, proves a certain and surespecific, It is equally effective in croup and whooping cough, and if used in season prevents the further development of consumption. Price, 25 and 50 cents.—H. L. Tucker. Eufaula were summoned. By the time they had arrived Whitemore had rallied somewhat, but at present it is impossible to say whether the wound is fatal or not. Oil Struck Near Braymer. Kingston, Mo., Feb. 27.—The Nort Missouri Mining and Development Company of Braymer, Mo., which was incorporated with a capitaliza- tion of half a million dollars, struck oil near Braymer yesterday at a A Suow Slide Near Ouray, Col. Ouray, Col., Feb. 28.—The largest snow slide in this region in years came down the mountain side oppo- site the Governor mine in the Sheffels district to-day and filled the gulch fora thousand feet. The avalanche crossed the gulch and piled twenty- five feet of snow on the mine dump, swept away a large water tank and swung the new boiler around about ten feet. The snow shed also was well produced several barrels of oil during the day and future prospects are very bright. The company has large tracts of land leased and their stock has been selling readily at 25 COUGHS. Nature might cure your cough without aid, but you can’t afford to chance it.

The vast accumulation of snow within the last two weeks, however, gave the slide to-day such volume A Third Snow Slide at the Mines Near Telluride, Col. While Rescuers Were at Work Remov- ing Bodies From Under the Heavy Mass Tons of Snow Came on Smuggler mountain, to-day caus- ed from thirty to seventy-five deaths. A close estimate of the number of fatalities is impossible at this time. Although the mine is scareely two miles from this town, information is difficult to obtain an account of the precipitous character of the roads and the vast ammount of snow. Near- ly all the buildings of the Liberty Bell mine were carried down by the slide. All the books which show the number and names of the menem- ployed were lost, so that the death list can hardly be known for many hours, possibly not until the rescuers | have removed the snow, rocks and logs from the canon where the men are buried.

Both of these buildings were carried down the mountain side a digtance of 2,000 feet and were crushed to kindling wood by tons of snow. It was 10 o’clock before news of the disaster reached ‘Telluride. Men started for the mine immediately. Meantime the surviving employees of the Liberty Bell began the work of rescue and several were taken out alive, while a dozen or more bodies were removed from the snow which lay piled twenty-five feet deep in the bottom of the canon.
