tine ninety d.iyi nor h of said 3oth degree ot

quarantine grounds out of a (i.ood.y por-

of others and cause complete destruction to

north or south of us regard their right to their

Whereas. We have just rea bns to believe
that there would be no attempt made on the
part of Texas men to drive their cattle onto our
ranges were it not for the inducements offered
under said Colorado quarantine law toge her
with the assurance on the part of soue of
thosu north of us who are desirous of purchas-
ing Tex:ts cattle that said law can be evaded.
Therefore be lc
Kesolved. First for the reason that
said law is Calculated io in
flict injury to those who are
unfortunately located unon the quarantine
grounds thus created by said law that we do
condemun me same as Dcing unjust in me ex-
reme.
Second That we earnestly protest against
the appointment of such men as are known to
be the heaviest bidders for Texas cattle as
members of the live stock sanitary veterenary
bi ard of the Slate of Colorado.
Third. That we will. ty all means In our
power prevent the adopting of our ranges and
the ranges it our neighbors as quarantine
grounds for. tlw benelit of either buyers or sel-

Chicago April 30. The Louisville express
on the Louisville New Albany and Chicago
Kailroi.d due here at 8 o'clock this morning
was stopped near Harrodsburg Ind. shortly
before midnight by a band of masked robbers
who compelled the enineer and fireman to
leave the engine. Entering the express c-ir.
the American Express messenger was covered
with revolvers aud refusing to unlock the safe
wa shot dead. The safe was broken open but
lound to contain but 400. The sc-ne of the
roobery is among the hills and stone quarries
and is but thinly settled.
Another Accouut.
Indinapolis Aptil 30. The express
matter in the . L. N. A. & C. train
was earned m the baggage car which is occu-
lted by messenger aud "baggage-master. It
was as usuali the first car on the tram. The
messenger's name was George N. Davis oi
Louisville. Last night at 11 o ch.ck the train
reached Harrodsburg Owen County a local
station the third below Bloomlrgton. It bas
a population of not more than four hundred
soulf aud at that time of niglit as quiet as the
grave. It is iu round figures 112 miles from
Lafayette. There is a water tank
at ilorroasDUi g ana me iraia sioipeu mere
four or five minutes to replenish the engine.
While it was at a stand-still one of the passen
gers in a sieeping-c.r J. ti. aamuiou oi
Greeucastle happened to be looking out of
the window and by the reflected light of the
engine and lrom the car-windows taw a man
emerge aonarentlv from under the trucks and
d.sappear in the direction of the engine. Iu
the brief g'.impse nr. iiactiuon nau oi me
man hi saia he was above medium higut
dressed in the tattered garments of a va-erant.-and
carried a stick in his hand-a club
for a stick. He naturally suposes him to
be some tramp who was pstealing a
ride under the tiucks and dismissed the mat-
ter fr m ills mind.
Meantime the engine had taken water and
started. Nothing unusual occurred until the j
Utile statlou of Smlthville Hid. about two
miles Norh ot Harrodsburg was reached.
A sharo ring oi the bell on the enuine stopped
the tralu. Befere an inquiry as to who pulled
the bell rope could be made the baggage mas-
ter fluug open the door of the smoking cr and
reeled covered with blood that trickled from
a ghastly wound in the head. He sank on his
knte- between the forward seats and gasped
out to the horrified passengers who rushed
to him that a rooner naci enterra
the bagae car and shot himself and the
express messenger. This was all he was able
to say when he fell unconscious on his face.
By that time Conductor Chamberlln was at
his sine aud with a few of the more intrepid
passengers maae nn way mio me uaggage
car. A siugle lantern turned low anu swtug-
icg from a hook iuthe ecu ng cast a aim
light over tne iriguiiui scene jmvis wa?
stretched in a pcol of blood by the
side of his safe which' ws
broken open and plundered. Everywnere
was evidence of a terrific struggle. The floor
as litteted with papers mat tne assassin
id taken from the chest and deeming worth
less threw awav. The heavy boxes which
stood 1j the car were scattered atound in con
fusion. Davis was l.fted and carnett into tne
smoker. He was breathing but it was evident
bt. was wounded to. the death. He haa been
shotlu the upper parr of the head a piece of
sKuti as large as a sqver aouar ueuig meiauv
blown off. From this apperture blood and
brains freely oozed.
Webber the baggage master gives the fol-
lowing accouut of the affair: "When the train
slopped at Harrodsburg he and Davis were
asleep on their train chests. Both doors of
the car were open and they had no suspicion
of auy thing wrong. Just as the train got into
nionon weDDerwasawucenea oy a violent

he also had evidently been struck with a cmt
while he was asleep. The Diuogeon wu
which this had been done alage hickory
stick lay on the floor covered.with blood and
hair. Webber was too badly hurt to take a
part in the fight and felt to the floor. The
robber was a large man raggudly
aressea.

strong condemnation of and opposition to it is

duka has telegraphed Gov. Oglesby asking
him to reconsider his action in declaring quar

that Gov. Oglesby's proclamation is with-
out authority of law and it is asterted
that if the officers of Illinois attempt to enforce
it as It now stands the Fed sr d con.-ts will be
invoked for relief xnis iq oasea on a decision
of the United States Supreme Court that no
State can make an indiscriminate prohibition
against tne admission et cattle irom anotuer

The face was badly - discolored and

great that it kept at a safe distance the large
crowd which quickly gathered. The trunk
was a common wooden one and evidently had
not been used before. It arrived here from
Chicago over the Pittsburg. Ft. Wayne and
Chicago Railway at 1:20 a. in. on the morning

called to claim it. The baggage-master no-
ticed a peculiar saiell wh.u It was unloaded
from the train this morning but no
attention was paid to it till
this evening whtsn the stench was unbearable.
After a consultation the railway officials de-
cided to open it and the result was a ghastly
discovery.

had beu bent almost double. Aroun4 the

Galveston. May l. The Mayoral y con
test between Ex-Mayor Fulton aid acting
Mayor Atkins took a new and unexpected turn
today. The sleuth hounds of investiga
tion got on tne ngut scent when
thev stat ted out to investigate
the frauds in the alderman lc contest between
Cuney and Allen . After seating turn y they
iook up tne -rial again ana to-aay tne uig
wolf was fairly run to cover where he Iras
turned on hit pursuers and shows signs f
Hunt. When the Council met to-day in com-
mittee of the whole the contestant (Fulton)
through his Attorneys immediately began
proving the fraui uleut character of the re-
turns from the Eleventh Ward. These returns
had already been proven so putrid that Atkins
was unable through hi witnesses to po!nt
out a single genuine ballot in the Eleventh
Ward box. His entire defense con
sisted of an exhaustive document
labori-msly aliening in a superficial manner
the existence of fraudulent ballots iu tlie
boxes of the other w ards. For Instance In
the 7th Ward Atkins alleges the nernet atlou
of such hnlous offences agalust tbe elect on
laws as vtne pasting together of one ballot"
another ballot he alleges "had a circle upon it
made with a pencil; while s''ll another was
"scratched with a blue pencil-'- In this man
ner be enumerated perhap a hundred petty
Irregularities. The attorneys Jor Atkins at
tne conclusion oi tne evidence oitered by Ful-
ton attem.ted to call witnesses and prove for
whom they voted lor iayor in the Eleventh
Ward Fulton objected to it on the. ground that
to show for whom they voted would be equiva-
lent to holding an election at a time and man
ner tot provided for by law. The committee
sustained this objection and on mot on of Al-
derman Lee by a vote ot
six to three the testimony offered by-
Atkins was rejected. This brought ou tbe
crisis. The attorneys for Atkins after a hast v
consH.tation re-entered the Chamber and
threw bomb shell In the camp by announc
ing that Atkins withdrew his case from tur
ner consideration ot the council.
aud said lie would appeal to a more learned trl -bunal.
The strangest part of the proceedings
was the pompous announcement by the junior
attorney .that he took the responsibility of say
ing that the coutestee (Atkins) would contin-
ue to hold the office of Mayor pend
ing the discussion ot the case by the courts.
This is the rub: Fulton with the Eleventh
Ward thrown out. has an undisputed malorliy
ef 91 votes yet Atkins refuses to abide by any
result tne city council may aeternuue ana ae-
Bantly declares war by unnounciug he will
continue to be mayor no matter what the
council does until disposed by a more "learned
tnounai." ine situation to-nigni is one oi ap -prchenkive
anxiety.
as so n as AtKins witnarew irom tne con-
test to avoid his impending defeat he repaired
to his office and immediately began a whole-
sale decapitation orth e old and tried members
ot the city police force. By nightfall he had
summarily d'smbsed twenty policemen in
cluding two aetectivea; also discharged some
minor employes. Some days ago he dis-
charged thirteen policemen including Chief
Police Jerdoii" and appointed others in their
stead. Thus to-night the entire poUce
force of the city are new men. every one
of whom is a strong partisan oe
Atkins it certainly looks as though Atkius
was preparing to ahvslcallv resist the order of
the City Council hurling him from office. That
such a mandate will be issued to-morrow no
body doubts. Excitement over the probable
outcome is apparent everywhere. The popular
reeling is decidedly against- Atkins ana nis
methods. .
