Both jumped many fence before Davis came to a bait, and when be did be suddenly tu.ned around, drew a revolver and fired several shots at tbe pursuer.

Instantly Butler commenced firing, one shot taking effect, dangerously wounding Davis in the left leg. He then g.ve himself np, and later iu the day was lodged in the McLean County Jaii. Toledo, Oblo. DEATH FROM HARD DRINK PUGILISTIC BARBERS -A PLOT FOILED, Toledo, June Monroe street was treated to a genuine sensation at an early hour this morning. Sometime about midnight Major J.

BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. Reminiscences of Border Crimes. A Death Sentence for Murder Committed is games Thirteen Tears Ago.

Special Dvpoteh to the Inquirer. Eureka, Kansas, June A notable trial for murder has just closed here In tbe District Court, before Judge Peyton. The evidence given recall many reminiscences of border life and frontier justice, wish tbe hardships of early settlers while the State was. yet In Its Infancy, In all Its thrilling delaila tioy villa, the scene of this bloody tragedy of nearly thirteen years since, ana lor wniaa lis per petrators are being brought to justice, is a quiet little namiet in waison tjonmy. it waa at mat time an Indian reservation, inhabited partially by wandering bands of Caws and Sank Indians, wbo made their scanty livelihood by hunting, fishing and preying upon the helpless settlers, who bad come hither from their Eastern homes and settled ou the lands, building their modest bomes in tbe shade of be wagon in which they bad journeyed bene.

Jacob and William Bledso. the murdered men, came from Missouri, and her took up their abode, bringing wilh them Jacob's wife ana ber mother. Tbelr quiet, unobtrusive manner and seml-exeluaivenes. did not at all accord with the loud-mouthed shooting propensities of the Committee of suti-vigilantes of the Coyvllllans. and It was decided that the Bledsoes were bold, bad men, and it was a bounden duty that some final disposition should be made of them.

The principal movers aud spirits of the anti-vigiiantes were two Methodist clergymen, named Wiilian Brown and T. J. Craig, with "Doc" Taylor, a physician. The charge waa made that three Indians had been murdered and ibeir bodies bad been thrown into the creek. No Indians were missing, however, and tboee claimed to have been killed were found alive and well, but this did not seem tn deter them from tbelr hellish purpose, and it waa then asserted that some horses bad been stolen, and the Bledsoe boys must be put in arrest Then they offered some Indians two beef rattle to do the killing, which they declined to consider, and afterward 860, which they accepted, but upon seeing tbe Bledsoes crying and begging for their Uvea, they signified that they had no desire to engage in so foul a deed as the killing oi innocent men.

Then Rev. William Brown, the exhorter, minister and solace of dying men's souls, went to the Bledsoes aud called them out, they being in arrest of tbe self-eoDstituted authorities, and said he waa afraid the Indiana would kill them and 4hey had better make their peace with God. They asked for a clergyman in the neighborhood, wbo came and prayed with them. Then in the dusk of the evening they were told they were to be taken to a place of aafety to insure their lives against the pretended assault of the Indians, and as Mrs. Bledsoe insisted on accompanying them she was told that sbe would certainly be killed by the Indians if she came and waa forced to remain.

Shortly after they left the house, they were taken out of the trail near the timber and brutally shot dead, and William lett in a dying condition on tbe prairie all night in the presence of the wolves, who then infected this region in large numbers. The dying one on begging for water was refused, and afterward this clergyman Brown, upon his own testimony, want to bis home and slept snd peacefully the remainder of this lovely spring night, awakened ouly by the light of day and the waiting of the women at the Bledsoe home. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction; and at so late a dsy. In Ibis beautiful State, it hardly seems credible that such spirits as theo could be the controlling element of any party of white men claiming any of the rights of citizens in a civilised land or the protection of a civilized Government. Tbe evidence reads like a border romance, but here it stands in stern and painful reality in the presence of lips c'oaed over secrets which would blanch the cheek and pale tbe face of any dusky warrior, whose chief glory would be a moving figure and spirit jn the scene of bloody drama During the two year following this massacre ao mue comment was made that this lovely trio of fiends incarnate were arrested and held for trial before 'Sqniies Percy and Turner.

Tbe former, a right-minded law-snd-order man, was bulldozed by outside influences, which, in those days, were not to be undervalued, and Turner, true blue to bis kind. An indictment waa found by the Grand Jury against Brown. Craig and Taylor, at the last term. The case of Craig ha been "nollied," by bis proving an alibi. Taylor bad gone West as a sanitary measure evious to this trial, and Brown has received bis sentence of death.

This trial has been one of great interest to all In this part of the State enhanced and surrounded by able legal talent. For three dsys the case was bitterly contested by maxteny argument and device, but the defense fell lightly upon the twelve good men and true, who, upon receiving tbe case were only out thirtv minntesverarning a verdict of murder in the first degree; When called up for sentence of death the Judge asked Brown if he bad any thing to say why the sentence should not be pronounced upon bim. He said, quietly, and with well modulated voice simply sad: "Your Honor, this Court has no right to to pronounce sentence in this case," Evidently claiming that it came within tbe jurisdiction of the I'nited States, ss the act was committed in the Indian Territory. He now passes bis time In his cell here in the County Jail awaiting transportation, singing hymns and praying, appearing to take life as complacently a If contemplating a pleasure-trip. Now the heart oi Coyville I sad, and her old-time denizens are troubled, as this is only a prelude to similar coses to be called, wilh developments of secrets long locked in couscience-slrickeu bosoms to stalk in open review before tbe bar of justice.

This same' Brown bas figured la other crimes, and other homes have been made desolate by his withering hand. At one time he knelt, it is ssid. and prayed with three men who were sentemOd by th Committee at Coyville, one of whom said: you. Brown, don't you pray for me. If you do, 1 shall go to hell sura." Afterward Brown quietly adjusted the nooses about the necks of tbe bspless men himself, as if be were Jack Ketch In embryo.

So comes tbe beginning of tbe end, and Kansas will no doubt have to forego th pleasure of th society of many of the old-timers, who bav lived securely under the old style of froniMtr VOL. XXXVI: NO. 154. PRICE FIVE CENTS. MONDAY MORNHG.

A-Bdersen's Story Strongly Corroborated by Cireamstaatial Evidence. Special XHtpakA lo fas Xmrulrer. Washington, June 187. The Anderson testimony before the Potter Committee Is still tha gossip of the town, and much interest Is felt to know In what way tbe Republicans propose to meet the damaging statements he has made. If they knew what the Democrat had ia reserve their plan would be to make an onslaught on tbe character of the witness, and not vouchsafe any explanation of bis extraordinary story.

This will be attempted at all events. All of to-dsy the Republican members of the Committee have been in consultation wilh the Republican leaders, and have been carefully sifting down the testimony taken by the Senate Committee which visited New Orleans after the final action of the Returning Board and the Morrison Committee, such excerpts ss will tend to controvert Ander son's statements. Tbey recognize the importance of first breaking him down in this wsy, snd after that offer some explanation of the circumstances which placed the witness in a position to receive the guarantee of a reward from Secretary Sherman to "Invade tbe very sanctity of the White House and tell the President that the vote in Louisiana was a cheat, and then receive from him a letter commend ing him for appointment to a Consulship in some warm country; to conduct a correspondence with Stanley Matthews, and leave with bim as custodian an agreement fraudulent on its face, but which Anderson demanded as a portion of tbe reward of his rascality, and to enable him to secure from Stanley Matthews a eonfidentisl letter to a member of Hhe Louisiana Commission, now a Justice on tbe Supreme Bench. If any of these facts, isolated and alone, were all with which the witness was fortified, it would be easy enough to break bim down; but the chain of documentary evidence so nicely dove-tails with his statements In Its sequence that it will require something more then bluff and bullying to clear the smoke away. The question naturally suggests itself: Why, if John Sherman knew that this man carried in him the powder magazine he has exploded, did he not buy him up or hush his mouth with tbe choice of any of tbe tat positions at his command This is answered in two ways: rirst, mat wnen enerman bad accomplished hia purpose be thought the beat way to get out of the bed mess In which he bad become Involved was to refuse to reward any of the rascals be dealt with, and even refuse to recognize them this for the reason (that is net believed.) thst be told Hayes the steps he found it necessary to tak to get Louisiana counted for him.

He argued undoubtedly, very wisely, that if tbe men be aealt with were rewarded, in view of the souud principles laid down in the President's inaugural, to bring these men to the front ss prominent office-holders under tne new Administration, lu acta would be so at variance witb iu professions that It soon would become tbe laughing-stock of the country. Hence 8brman. played the game of blufft and not only was Anderson denied recognition, but likewise Pitkin. Packard. and scores of others, wbo bad Ibeir State Government gives to them as soon after Hayes- was tnasjaid aa Oa-cency would allow it to be turned over.

And rignt here was conceived and iueubated what is now known the wide world over aa "Haves' Southern Policy." When, therefore, the result of the act was accomplished, and Hayes was inaugurated, there were two separate schools of Loaisiana politicians seeking reward the ultra-Republicans, Including -Anderson, to whom Sherman bad given assurances, and the Conservative Democrats, to whom Stanley Matthews bad made promisee. Tbe result was naturally clash of opptoiug force. If Sherman fulfilled his promise It would interfere with those of Stanley Msttbews. who had undoubtedly promised the Democrat of Louisiana borne rule. Hence, when old Mad Wells demanded tbe Collectorship he did not get It, and for tbe reason that a promise had been given that be should not Likewise, when Packard anted an office in tbe State, he was told he could have any good office outside of Louisiana, but Dot in it.

Pitkin waa pushed out of the Marshal' office aud Jack Wharton put in. Indeed, the only two of the Radical wing rewarded -were old Mad Wells, who was allowed to retain the Surveyorship ol the Port, and Keno Tom Anderson was given tbe Depnty Collectorship. Matthews had a longer head than Sherman after all. if the Democrau could be keot quiet there was no real danger, for such Republicans ss were party to tbe fraud could not squeal without entangling themselves. The testimony, as far as taken, implicates seriously, of course, John Sherman and Stanley Matthews.

Tne Democrats can not conceive bow Sherman is to get out, for they say that they can prove the letter he wrote Anderson and Webber, and. Indeed, it is alleged they have the original. MacMahon said yesterday to Jacob D. Cox, of Ohio: "There is one way that Stanley Matthews can get out, and that is to admit th in sctiug as the custodian oj tbe Nah agreement, and In conducting the sorrespondence with Anderson, he was acting a attorney for other parties, and that is not Civil Service reform, as you understand it." Cox repl-ed: "But- it is a less degree of- moral turpitude than to appear in these proceedings a acting on his own responsibility a United States Senator and a confidential friend of tbe President" MacMahon wss asked by a member of- Congress why he did not press Sherman more tfoaeiy when on the witness stand as to the latter. He replied: "His answer was what 1 expected, and all I wanted." While it is not believed, ss before stated, that John Sherman did tell the President of tbe promises he made to Anderson.

Webber snd others, it is believed thst Stanley Matthews apprised him that he had given assurances that the State should have home rule, and that the President actuated first by tne bnnest belief that tbe Suit should be so governed, and second because Matthews had so promised shaped bis Southern policy to accord therewith, and for which he baseteen so soundly berated by the radical wing of his own party. Tbe unquestioned Importance of the evidence developed yesterday is acknowledged on all sides. John Shennau's evasive denial that he did not believe what he wrote that letter (pointing to tbe copy be had thrown upon the table), taken in connection witb his qualification that there were things in it which he would have written, and the choking, hesitating and soosmodic way in which he Jerked out bis Conditional denial, also at variance with his usual manner of speech aud action; the additional fact that his friends ou the Committee tried their best to force the Democrats to, tell whether they bad the original Sherman letter or any proof of iu existence before Sherman was called to testify whether or not he had written auch a letter; and finally, the fact that Sherman, after receiving the telegraphic summons to appear, telegraphed Hnella-berger before be answered Potter, aud toeu bad an hour's private conversation with before he appeared and gave tbe answer he did. All these thing have created almost an universal opinion here that Sherman lied. In this connection it is alleged here that the cause of the length of the conference between Sherman and his counsel wss on account of a difference of opinion Sbellabarger urging him to deny and Wilson to admit iu authenticity.

Tbe suspicious part, however, is that Sherman needed anyadviae on the subject As a member put it to-day: "It is utterly impossible that John Sherman could bave any doubt as to whether be wrote a letter makingta criminal proposition and if lie did know it, it is absurd to sunpoe that so good a lawyer and so crafty a politician as John Sherman needed any body's advice as to how be should answer." It should also be borne in mind and the fact will be brought out in tbe investigation that John Sherman, when in New Orleans as a visiting statesman, leplied In writing tn a suggestion from the Democrau that visitors of both parties join and labor for a fair count, that they were there simply as spectators, and any interference whatever would be unwarranted and illegal. On all aidfUo-day the question bas been ssked: What will be the outcome? snd tbe answer ou every body's lips is tbst John Sherman will be fortunate indeed if he escapes impeachment; and that Stanley Matthews must do some wonderful explaining if be escapes unsinged. Members of the Comm. flee, say. Wait and see, and assert positively that what has appeared is but the beginning of what will appear.

No open session will held to-morrow, the Committee desiring a day to discuss yesterdsy's development-1, and being willing to give Msttbews and his friends aa much time for consultation. By Tuesday, however, the Committee expect to be ready to continue the examination of witnesses. It is no yet decided wbo will sxaniinedJiexL That wui be decided to-morrow: bnt tbe invsatlga- inn viin that bfai tbev ar done, they will examine every body who can throw light upon tne subject Eberman will no given ssourer nw-t after awhile.

Wlndom said yesterday, a vast deal of hasty and Inconsiderate legislation on the appropriation bills. Of tbe one hundred and fifty or sixty millions embraced In all th appropriation bills only twenty millions have passed both Houses so far a lesser sum than is usually sppropriated by the Deficiency and Sundry Civil Bills, which are yet to be reported to the House. The Military Academy Bill has been In Conference since March 16in, the Pension Bill since May SOlb, and the Post- office Bill sine May 17th, and the Conferences were no nearer agreement yesterday than tbey have been at any time. If It has taken so long to agree upon these bills and get them Into proper shape, it Is manifest that the Legislative Bill snd the Aimy Bill wbfvh Involve many more puinu oi du.pute and controversy must of necessity be rurbed through in such hot baste as to make de- liberatien out ol the question. This will be especially the ease of the Sundry Civil Bill, Into wlil an tne oaae ana enas jow oi me aeicuun usuallr erven, and the Army Bill, over which there is sure to bo a dead-lock.
