TACKLED THE WRONG MAN.
A Chicago Gambler Undertakes to Floaco
n Kentucklan ami Gets Shot.
St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 37.—Mark A. Baren,
a Chicago gambler, was shot and danger-
ously wounded by Charles Hatfield of Hen-
derson, Ky., on nn Irou Mountain train,
near Dezter, Mo., Tuesday night about 10
o'clock. Baron and a pal, George Jobos,
also of Chicago, had engaged in a game of
ooker with Hatfield and a traveling man
named Kellar. It was a "skin" game and
Hatfield, who looked like a farmer, was evi-
dently not of that idea. After losing about
$75 he started at Baron with an uulj lookins
revolver in his hand. Ho first struck Baren
with tho weapon, then shot him in the chest
nnd right breast, inflicting ugly and pos-
sibly lutal wounds.
There was n, wild scene on the train.
Women screamed and fainted and men
dodged behind the seats until the shooting
was over. Without a word, Hatfield turned
when his revolver was ouipty and coolly
walked into the next car.
Baren was carried to Poplar BlulT atid
wlieu ho reached there wns unconscious
from tho loss of blood. No effort was made
to eaten Hatfield who left tha traiu before
it cached Poplar BlulT, It being evident
that bo.was not to blame. There was somo
talk about an old grudge between the men
about a woman but George Jobes, who was
"playing in" with BarWi, admits that he
anil Baren were fleecing Hatfield and Kellar
with marked cards.
Yesterday Baren was taken from Poplar
Bluff to Hot Springs, Ark., in a precarious
condition.
Jobes pnssoil though St. Louis to-night en
route for Chicago. Ho says ha does not like
Arkansas. Baren when ia Chicago was in
the employ of George Hanklns, and at ono
time owned a saloon at 71 Clark street.
WILL NOT QUASH.
Judge Pardon Sustains Indictments Against
tlia Alleged Slayers of tile Marlows.
Dallas, Tex.. Feb. 37.—In the federal
court to-day Judge Pardee handed down a
verbal decibion refusing tho motion to
quash the indictments In tho chargcs
against Verney Wilkerson, Eugene Logan,
Clint Ruthorford and B. Williams, all of
Young county. The habeas corpus proceed-
ings to determine the matter of bail con-
sumed the remainder of the day. About a
dozen witnesses wore examined for tho de-
fense. The government introduced onu
witness. A number of other 'witnesses are
on hand to testify iu behnlf of the govern-
ment, but it is doubtful if any mora testi-
mony will ba heard.
This case grows out of the killing of tho
Marlow brothers by a mob several months
ago in Young county, while they woro piis-
ouers under escort of United States officers
in transit from Graham to Weatherford.

tirely unofficial.
After greeting his friends the secretary,

A Lively AVer Between Two Kansas Towns
—Serious Trouble 1'oared.
Wichita, Kan., Feb. 37.—Tho towns of
Ingalls and the town of Cimarron in Gray
county, late rivals in a county seat war, are
again fighting. Bonds for a sugar mill
were recently voted in the county nnd as In-
galls is to derive nil the benefits an injunc-
tion against tho issuing of tho bonds was
obtained bv Cimarron represented by Chas.
Gregory. 'Monday Gregory was in Ingalls
and was forced by threats against his life to
withdraw tho suit. Yesterday a party of
Cimarron men attacked somo of the leaders
of tho mob that bulldozed Gregory and wore
in turn bunted out of town, two of their
number being wounded. Both sides are
armed and an outbreak is expected at any
time. _____

INAUGURATING A DEMOCRAT.
Crowds of Rnthnslastio Democrat'! Flock
to Governor Holes* I'iiautfurat'foii.
Bes Moines, Iowa, Feb. S7.s—Tins i nun ju-
ration of Governor Bato'i this aiteriiiki'ii
was carried ont with jiV&it, chtliuii'ism
anions tiia democrats. Visitors had come
from all over the state and from othar states,
tho most noteworthy delegations beint;
from St. Joseph, Mo., tho Jefferson club, 150
strong, and from Cook county oC Chicago,
250 strong. The inaugural procession wm
formed at tho Savoy house and marched to
the enpitoi. The galleries were crowded
when the gubernatorial party entored tha
hall of lionise of representatives where both
branches of the legislature were in joint
session. Tho oath oC oflice was administer-
ed to tho governor and lieutenant-governor
elect, and Governor Baies then read his in-
augural address.
In his inaugural address, which the
newly elected democratic Governor Boies
delivered this atternQOU, he proceeded to
take up one by one the most important
public questions at priSsant agitating tho
peo'iSJe ot the state Of Iowa, discussing
thaiii at great1 laa&tti. Concerning tho rail-
way situation said:
"Prior to our1 present laws the purchaso
of transportation was at tho mercy of rail-
way companies. They abused their power,
and to gain great dividends individual anu
public rights were alike sacrificed."
Coming to the question of prohibition
the governor stated that prohibitory laws
had oeen despised, disregarded and ignored
In most of tho largo cities of tho state
from the date of its birth down to tho pres-
ent time. Tho use of intoxicating liquors
as a beverage had not been diminished.
Millions and millions of capital of
citizens had been invested in the
business, and then it had boen coldly
wiped out without ono effort to com-
pensate thoso who were ruined thereby.
Wherevor the law bad been enforced the
owners had boen impoverished. In his
judgment the chief obstacle to enforcement
of tho law lay in tho fact that it was a cruel
rlolation of one of tho most valuable of
human rights. It was impossible to read
the platform of tho respective parties with-
out reaching the conclusion that no polit-
ical issue was ever more clearly doflned,
moro thoroughly discussed and better
understood by tlio masses than that relating
to this question! in the campaign which
preceded the last election. The people of
Iowa bad through the only medium known
to them for settling political lssuenj passod
judgment on this question. They wero
therefore bound in honor to furnish for
those localities dosirinf it tho most care-
fully framed license law. Greatest care
should ba taken, of course, to keep tho
traffic out of the hands of improper parties.
What Iowa needed was practical legisla-
tion oil the subject, legislation that was
broad enough to cover more thau the views
of a single class.
CHARGES AGAINST A BISHOP.
Itaiiop E",hrr Askeil to Vacate the Cliair,
but Declines with Thanks,
SiiAMOKIN, Ba., Feb. 27.—Tha eastern
Pennsylvania evangelistic convention waB
opened this morning by Bishop J. J. F,slier
of Chicago. Boll call showed 165 ministers
present. Bishop Esher opened tho confer-
ence by reading a portion of tho scripture
and followed with prayer. Charges were
then preferred against Bishop Esher by
four elders. March 19 was fixed as the timo
for tho trial to be held in^Salem church at
B,eading. Bishop Ksber was then asked to
vacate tho chair, but refused to do so, stat-
ing that ha had boon obligated to occupy
the chair, and his duty would not permit
hlra to vacate it.
The charges against Bishop F.sher are:
First, slander and evil speaking; second,
falsehood; third, creating dissensions by
perpC'iating and intensifying excitement
in our church and disturbing her peace by
revival of old and previously adjusted diffi-
culties and differences.
A MINE DISASTER.
Great Damago by Fire in tho Cameron Col-
liery—Smothered to Death.
Siiamokin, Pa., Feb. 27.—The fire which
broke out in tho Cameron colliery slope is
burning to-day with increased intensity.
The steam pipes which lined tho |Bingway
caused tho timbers to become dry, and the
supposition is that a spark from a miner's
lamp lighted them. Tho slope is full of
smoke and gas, making the work of fight-
ing the fire perilous,
General Superintendent Morris Williams
and Mine Foreman Brennan were pros-
trated by gas and taken out of the slope un-
conscious. Two men who woro imprisoned
in the colliery last night made their escape
through an old chamber. Twenty-three
mules were smothered. It is impossible j'et

l,ons List—Shot Down at Night.
CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 27.—Advices from

thought he recognized. Still he took his
gun with him. His wife saw a man on
horseback in the road lira and saw her hus-
band fall. The assassin galloped away.
Johnson had incurred the enmity of tlio
Hatflelds by disclosing a plan of escape by
Mounts and another of thoir set and his life
bad bean threatened.
