S6^Xews comes from Tombstone, Arizona, of the slaughter by Indians of the entire population of the mining town of Eureka, New Mexico, number­ ing seventy persons. The report Is too horrible to be fully credited on the •canty evidence of a report from a town far distant from the tragedr. We hope at least that the terrible story Is exaggerated. ITA stock car has been Introduced on the C. B. & Q. road that is a money saving institution. It has a tank on top of the car fram which a perforated Iron pipe runs the full length of the car on the top, and when a drover thinks It necessary to sprinkle and water his hogs, all he lias to do is to turn a little valve from the end of the car on the outside shutting off the water at pleasure. It is claimed that hogs shipped in these cars will go to ' market without the shrinkage com­ mon to hogs in other cars.--Er. tVThe San Francisco Bulletin, com­ menting upon the determination of the Morraou Church to sell no more land in Salt Lake City to Gentiles •ays: "The remarkable fact just now U that a people in the heart of the coun­ try are not only abie to defy the laws of the oountry, but that they can con­ trol a land policy through which they can prevent the rapid increase of a population who are not In accord with Mormon doctrines. The situation be­ comes more intrestlng every month. Perhaps nothing could be more fortu­ nate tor the country than that the Mormons should go a step further and attempt to drive every Gentile out of Utah." I M^No, my son, cheek is no better than wisdom; it is not better than any­ thing. Don't listen to the siren 'who tells you to blow your own born or It will never be tooted upon. The world is not to be deceived by cheek; but it does search for merit, and when it flnds It, merit Is rewarded. Cheek never deceives the world, my son. It appears to do so to the cheeky man, but he is the one who is deceived. Do you know one cheeky man in all your acquaintance who is not reviled for his eheek the moment his back is turned? , Is the world not continually drawing distinctions between cheek and merit ? Almost everybody hates a cheeky inan, my soi}. Society tires of the brassy glare of his face, the hollow tinkling of his cymbalian tongue, the noisy as­ sumption of his forwardness. He bores his way alone through the world, and frequently better people give way for him. But so cliey give way, my boy, 'for a man with a paint pot in each hand. Not because they respect the man with the paint pot particularly, but berause tliey want to take cure of their clothes. You sell goods without It and your customers won't run and hide In the cellar when they see you eomlug.--Burlington ITawkeye. EDITOR PLAINDKALKR:--From re­ cent blow and bluster tn the Wood­ stock Sentinel In reply to the McHenry County Democrat as regards the mili­ tary service of the 17th Illinois Caval­ ry while In camp at St. Charle«, we were led to almost believe that the editors of the Sentinel were flrin friends of the ex-soldiers and every­ thing pertaining to th«-ir Interest. A Post of the Grand Army of the Repub­ lic was organized here Wednesday evening, Aug. 24th, and officers elected and committees appointed, <fce. The McHenry PI.AINDEALEK, Richmond Gazette, Harvard Independent and we believe the McHenry County Demo­ crat and Marengo Republican all made mention of the fact of s:iid organiza­ tion, officers elected, &c„ Ac. Yet this great patriotic and ex-soldiers ftrlend that lays claim to he the leading oewspsper in McHenry county (but is far from it) and which is published right here where this l*ost Is gotten up, has never made but one brief men­ tion of It and that in regard to the first meeting, which was to have been on a Friday evening and thev made it read Tuesday evening. 1'erhups its beneath the notice of the latent tr(tops out 16 years after the war is over.

A fatal fracas occurred in the town of Hartland last week, the following particulars of which we glean from the Democrat of Saturday last: "Last Monday night a terrible row occurred at Brookrlalc, in the town of Hartland, which resulted in the death of Mike Lawler, and for which four men will doubtless have to answer for their actions in a court of justice. The parties to this horrible crime are Thos. Oasey, Thos. Casey, Jr., John Casey and Edward Casey, and the victim is Michael Lawler, .all! very well known in this city. An old feud has existed be­ tween these parties for some time, which has grown out Af the rental of the Lawler farm, the Caseys failing to care for the propw-ty as the Lawler boys thought it shmild have been done. This flame was augmented to a great degree by having the Lawler boys at­ tempt to remove the Caseys from the farm. In this thev were unsuccessful, as also in many other suits brought by them. "The direct cause of this last dis­ turbance which has resulted so fatally, was the attempt of Mike Lawler to cross a strip of land which the Caseys controlled by lease. On a small piece immediately back of this narrow strip, is an acre of ground upon which the Lawlers intended erecting a ho'ise for their aged mother, and to reach this they had to cross the strip l n question. To this the Caseys objected and from this the row was commenced. Several stories have been in circulation, but no one can tell the exact circumstances. Whether Mr. Lawler produced a pistol and snapped it four times at the senior Casey is true or not, we cannot say At least that is one version. Another is to the eflect that Lawler produced the right of way. But it is probable that Lawler attempted to force his way and no doubt used the revolver carelesssly in the hope that he would be allowed to cros9 in peace. Wheth er this was his intention or not is un­ known, as tho heavy blow upon the head rendered him unconscious, and which, up to the time of his death he had not regained. "Wednesday the accused were Drought before Esquire Johnson and were committed to jail to await the result of the injuries, which proved fatal, tho unfortunate man dying on Thursday night. "LATER.--We have examined the testimony taken before the Coroner's jury, and find, as will be seen by the verdict, that Michad Lawler came to his death from a heavy blow upon the head at the hands of John Casey; that although Lawler had the revolver in his hand he did not shoot at the senior Casey. That Lawlor had an undisput­ ed right to pass over the land is clear in our minds. Whether he had'or not it did not justify the killing, if he at­ tempted some tiling he had no legal right to do. The Coroner's jury ren­ dered the following verdict, which it will be noticed, releases Jfidward, the youngest son:-- We the uiidorsiKned Jurors, sworn to inquire of the death of Michael Law­ ler' on oatli do find that ho came to his death by a blow on the head from a blunt instrument In the hands of John Casey. That the act was committed in the Town of Hartland, county of Mc­ Henry. and State of Illinois, and we recommend that the said John Casey be held without'.hail. and we further recommend that Thos.Casey and Thds, Casey. Jr., be held without bail as ac­ cessories. The parties are now in Jailat Wood­ stock. FOli 8 A I.E. 40 Acres of land In Section 12, all fenced.
