Militia Ordered Out. | Des Moines, Ia., June 18.—Gov- ‘: — ernor Cummings has ordered three “Coin” Harvey Invites the Ozark Resait Will Break Up Bitter Feuds of companies of militia to Dubuque to} CONFESSION ON SCAFFOLD. A BACKWOODS BEEF SHOOT. Marksmen to be Present. | quell rioting consequent upon the Leng Standing. Chattanooga, Tenn., June 16 —The conviction of W. R. Catelett for mur-| The Ancient Deer Gum te Crack’ deris believed to mean the end of Against the Modern Riffe in an Old-Fashioned Match Near Rogers, Ark. Springfield, Mo., June 19.—W. 8. Harvey, who in 1895 told the world so much about the relative quanti- ties of gold and silver, is now reviv- ing in northwestern Arkansas the the feuds that have terrorized the people for Sevier county, Tenn., for years. The trial of Catelett has just been concluded in Loudon, Tenn., on a change of venue from Sevier. The jury returned a verdict that he was guilty of murder in the first degree with mitigating circumstances, in hiring persons to kill Laura Wealy. When Catelett was brought into code of the old backwoods shooting | ur tor sentence, Judge Burkestat- match. Next Saturday at Monte Ne, the mountain pleasure resort of the once popular free silver author, the most ancient deer guns in the Ozarks will contest with the up-to- date rifles for the best choices of beef and for other prizes. All kinds of guns above the twenty-two caliber gauge will beadmitted. Thetwenty- two rifle will be barred. Smooth bores, muzzle loaders, full-stock rifles that were hammered out in Tennes see forges when Daniel Boone was in his prime, guns that did service for the pioneers long before the percus- sion cap lock wasinvented—these old heirlooms of the early hunting days will blaze and crack at Monte Ne at the big shooting match. Mr. Harvey will be the master of ceremonies and direct the exciting contest in gun eraft, The shooting will be done from several stations, for it would take a week to deliver all of the shots at one target. The contestants will be divided into groups, andeach firing squad will have its own station, Each marks- man will have his own board or tar- get. In a beef match there are five choices, the four quarters and the hide and} | tallow. In the old days there was a sixth choice, the Tead in” the TF against which the target was place That was when ammunition costly and the hunter considered be fore shooting, whether the game was worth the powder and lead to be was risked. The lead choice has not been | | one of the prizes in shooting many years, but the old mountaiseers who will be at Monte Ne Seturday know all about the early rule which made the battered bullets cut out of the tree one of the awards of thecontests in shooting for beef. The old rnle was to. drive the beef to the place where the shooting was done. The beef stood by till the last shot was fired, and sometimes escap- immediate death because of the rare skill of one of the marksmen. If any participant in the match won the five choices, which seldom occurred, he proudly drove the beef home. There was no greater honor than this in those days. If the honors of the match were divided the beef was slaughtered on the ground and each man took his part home with him At Monte Ne the shooting will be di- rected by the sound of a bugle. The first note will be the signal for the several marksmen to get ready. The second blast of the herald’s horn will command the men to fire. The story of William Tell will be reproduced at the shooting match. A wooden image of a boy will have on its head a glass ball of the size and color of an apple. The marks- man who hits the boy goes out of the match. Tostay in the contest the apple must be hit or the image missed. The day will close with a banquet at the Monte Ne hotel which is to begin at 6 o’clock and close at mid- night, according to the rule of such festivities two hundred years ago. There are many old guns on the Missouri and Arkansas border now being cleaned up and oiled for the Harvey match. Monte Ne is five miles from Rogers, Ark., near White river. Mr. Harvey has a little rail- road of his own connecting Monte Ne with the main line of the ’Frisco. This road was built with money earned by the big sale of “Coin’s Fi- nancial School’ eight years ago. Lyncher Was Acauitted. Joplin, Mo., June 19.—D. H. Barnes of this city was acquitted after trial at Carthage yesterday on acharge of murder in the first de- gree in connection with the lynching of the negro, Thomas Gilyard. Spectators in the court burst into cheers. The court grew angry and sentenced “Hickory Bill” Fields to ten days in jail for hisdemonstrative approval, allegingcontempt. Fields is algo under indictment on the same | | ed that he was unable to find any mitigating circumstances in the evi dence and therefore sentenced the man to be hanged. The latter at once tock an appeal to the supreme court of Tennessee. Sevier county was, up to the time of the murder of William Wealy and wife, Laura, kept in constant terror through the activity of a band of whitecaps, which developments prov- ed was composed of many of the prominent citizens of the county, amongthem Robert Catelett, amem- ber of the wealthiest and most infla- ential family of the county. In a trial of Catelett and others, charged with whitecapping, the Wealys gave evidence incriminating Catelett. Lat- er the Wealys were brutally murder- ed. Two men, Ples Wynt and Cate- lett Tipton, were executed tor the erime Before going to the scaffold, however, Wynt and Tipton made a confession, inf which they charged that Catelett had hired them tocom uit the crime. Catelett waa arrest- vd for three years he has been to avoid the consequences, Sevier county has been the scene of Falmostas many feuds as Breathitt ounty, Ky., but the worst crimes {were committed by the whitecaps, of ich Catelett was regarded as the Bristow's Bomb is Hurled, Washington, June 19 —The Post master General, Mr, Payne, Wednes- Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen eral, Mr. Bristow, to the charges of Seymour W. Tulloch, former cashier ofthe Washington city postoffice, re- garding the irregularities in the tal admini-tration; olso reports tion and investigation of the Washington postoffice by inspectors between June 30, 1899, and July 31. 1900, together with the transcript of the Tulloch charges made some years ago and the conclusions there on theu reached by Postmaster Gen- eral Charles Emory Smith. These papers constitute by far the most significant documents yet made public as a result of the sweeping postal investigation. The reports show the existence of many irregu- larities reports that the files of the postotfice cashier show direct orders from superior authority for the dis bursement of all the questionable items. The inspector urged “that the responsibility for tie many ille- gal appoiatments, the payment of two salariea to one and the same personand the disbursement of thou- sands of dollars for which practically no service was performed should be placed where it properly belongs and the many abuses corrected.” Here's a Real “Holdup”’ Story. Guthrie. Ok., June 20.—Three out laws, led by Ben Cravens, for whom $7,000 in rewards is offered, station- ed themselves in a lonely wood inthe country and held up 100 men and women. Every man passing was stopped and searched and his valua- bles taken. He was then marched off a balf mile and placed under guard. The robbers secured $800 in money and selected nine good horses. At dark the victims were released. The outlaws joked with the prisoners, among whom was David Ware, a Texas ranger. A posse is in pursuit of the outlaws. Cravens escaped from the Kansas penitentiary three years ago.

Guthrie, Ok., June 20.—While Dock Ray, living at Grant, I. T., was in the Red river bottoms a fewdaysago he discovered a broken tie with the end sticking up in the middle of the ‘Frisco track, A freight train was dueina few minutes and a disastrous wreck would have resulted. Ray fl gved the train and prevented a catastrophe. The conductor took his nome and address and yesterday he received from the general offices at St. Louis a certificate entitling bim to free transportation for life over any part of the Frisco system. Senator Vest Was His Pupil. Liberty, Mo., June 20 —J. M. Stapp died at Missouri City Tuesday last in his 80th year, He was a native Missourian, having been born in Lafayette county.

Irish were among his pupils, Senator Cockrell’s first wife was a sister of Mr, Stapp. He was a merchant for many yeurs at Misson- ri City and postmaster under Cleve- land’s first administration. Grover Cleveland Soys So. New York, June 19,—lormer Prea- ident Cleveland is quoted again this morning as declaring that he is not a candidate for the presideney, In aninterview with the Washington correspondent of the Dallas News Mr. Cleveland said: “It is perfectly absurd to suppose for an instant that L have any desire to re-enter public life; nor have I en- tertained the thought since I left Washington six years ago. 1 have no higher aspirations than to pass my days in peace with my family around me and take no part in poli- tics.” Metcalfe is Dismissed. Washington, June 19.—As a result of alleged indiscretions in matters pertaining to the award of contracts for printing the money order forms of the government, James Metcalfe, for many years superintendent of the money order system of the Post- office department, was removed from office to-day by the Postmaster Gen eral A full investigation of the case will be made later, The dismissal is the result of acts of Mr, Metcalfe in opposition to the bid of Paul Her- man, Rutherford, N. J., the lowest bidder by $45,000 and in favor of the uext highest bidder, the Wyn- koop, Hallenback, Crawford compa- ny of New York, of which Mr. Met- calie’s son is an employee.
