only escaped the catties hoofs by
bis speed as a runner. All three in
vited their peril by venturing on the
range on foot. George and Albert
Avery, brothers, and the sons of a
wealthy farmer near Youugstown,
0., came out here in December.
They had money and expected to
buy a range in the spring. This
winter they were learning the busi
t tTia ranch of a friend, auoth-
U i j i v
er Ohio man, whose brief experience
as a stockman dates back only to
last August.
Daniel Stockwell, the owner of
the ranch, and the Avery s, took ad
vantage of the light Know yesterday
morning to go jack rabbit hunting,
not knowing the effect that the
sight of a man on foot has on range
cattle. They strode along in their
heavy boots uutil they were four or
five miles from the ranch. They had
shot considerable game, and were
within a half mile of Independence
Rock, a celebrated land-mark of
overland travel in 1859, when they
noticed a bunch of some 300 or 400
cattle running towards them. Their
heads and tails were high in the air
and they acted as if stampeded. It
immediately flashed through Stock
well's mind that the herd was mak
ing for them and he gave the warn
ing and started to run, throwing
away his gun and game. The two
boys ran a little way and turned and
fired at the oncoming herd. The
steers in the lead swerved to one
6ide, but those behind rushed on
and the young men went down be
neath the pounding hoofs and were
trampled into an unrecognizable
mass.
Stockwell never stopped running
till he had reached Independence
rock and climbed to a place of safe
ty. The herd dashed past him and
were soon out of sight. The re
mains of the unfortunate cowboys
were to be buried this morning and
Stockwell is reported as to be al
most wild with grief.

Report of Grand Jury.
Butler, Mo., Feb. 8th, 1889.
"We, the Grand Jurors for Bates
county, Circuit Court, beg leave to
report:
That in the discharge of our du
ties, we have made an examination
of all the various county offices, and
found them without exception well
kept and the records therein well
up to date; and we hereby extend
to our officers our thanks for the
consideration shown and facilities
extended us in making our examina
tions. ' "We further report that we have
discharged a painful duty, imposed
on us, by visiting a death trap, known
as the Bates county jail. We found
it in a decaying condition, totally
unfit as a habitation for any member
of the human family guilty or in
nocent, aud in its present condition
unsafe and dangerous as a residence
or place of confinement. We there
fore cordially concur in the report j
of all former grand jurors heretofore
made from time to which
son, a Missouri horse-dealer got very
drunk last evening and attracted a
great deal of attention from the rough
element in the streets through which
he staggered. At a late hour he
wandered into Hauway street where
he declared that he had been robbed
of a large sum of meney and some
valuable paperB. Suddenly he drew
a revolver and fired four shots into
the crowd, wounding two men, one
of them seriously. He was arrested
arraigned in the police court this
morning and remanded for a week
pending the result of the injuries of
the wounded men. Emerson alleg
es that he fired in self defence, as he
feared further violence after an
nouncing that he had been robbed.

London, Feb. 14. Wiiliam Rob

Emerson, the Missouri horse dealer
has died. Emerson, who has recov
ered from his drunken 6pree, is still
held by the police and will be axam-
ed for trial shortly.
WHO IXKE EMEBSO IS.
Bowling Green, Mo., Feb. 14
Luke Emerson, who fired on a crowd
in London England, yesterday and
killed a man, was brought up in
fViia eitv and his home is here. His
parents are among the wealthiest peo
pie of Pike county, and the action o
the young man is a great shock to
them. Luke is a dealer in horses,
and was well known in St Louis and
Kansas City. As he usually carried
larere sums of money with him, he
went armed, but was regarded as in
flfpnivfl. He had a weakness for
Eminently Correct.
The secret service of the govern
ment succeeded recently in trapping
a verdant country lad of Iowa into
an appearance of crime and had him
sent to the penitentiary. It would
seem that the department of justice
of a great nation like this might find
some better employment than sand
ing decoy letters, with suggestions
of crime, to unsophisticated and sus
ceptible youths. Few indeed are the
young men who cannot be led to
acts of crime by ingenious tempta
tion, and the secret agent or detec-
ive who plays his arts upon such
deserves the felon's stripes more
ban does his victim.

Judge Henry and Judge Gibson.
Governor Francis late yesterday I
afternoon appointed Judge John
W. Henry and James Gibson to fill
the additional circuit court judge
ships created by the Teasdale bill.
These appointments will cause no
surprise as they were expected and
predicted by politicians and mem
bers of the bar ever since the pas
sage of foe bill Although there
were many candidates for the posi
tions there was at no time any spir
ited contest. The apppointments
are satisfactory to the majority of
the bar. Judge Henry was on the
state supreme bench for nearly 12
years. After his retirement in 1887
he came to Kansas City where he
has 6ince resided.
James Gibson was mayor of Kan
sas City in 1883 and is a well known
practicing attorney.
The new judges, as soon as they
receive their commissions, will as
