‘FOR GOD’S SAKE DON’T KILL YOUR
OWN BROTHER!”
The People Groatly Ineenaed *t the Awful
Trecedy—The Ball Struck Marlon In the
atomacb. Inflletlnc a Mortal Wound—
The Murderer Surrendered*
Walton, Ky., Nov. 17.—Newton
Oder, residing in the neighborhood of
Bearer Lick, seven miles from' this
place, shot and killed his brother Marion
shor'd)- after 1 o'clock a. in. Marion
was only 21 years of age and was en
gaged to be married. He took his
Snancee, Miss Sallie Sleet, to a party at
John Haley's and there met his older
brother, with whom he had not been on
good terms for some time. They re
newed the old quarrel at the entertain
ment, which consisted of an oyster sup
per followed l>y a dance, but a friend
separated them. Marion took his sweet
heart to her home in Beaver Lick, and
was returning when Newt appeared at
the side of the buggy and dared him to
come out of it. Marion at once leaped
to the ground and picked up a rock, re
membering that he had no pistol. Newt
replied with a pistol ball, which struck
Marion in the stomach, inflicting
mortal wound. The mnrderer would
have fired again, but Marion fell, crying:
"For God's sake, please don’t shoot
jour own brother?"
Newt left the dying man and went to
a neighbor's house, where he told of his
crime. He was crying and seemed half
crazy over the thought of his terrible
deed'. He then hunted up Marshal Mc
Cabe and gave himself up. The mur
derer is 83 years old and has a wife and
three children. He is of a quarrelsome
disposition, and tried to kill his brother
a year ago at the family breakfast table,
but was prevented by the mother. The
affair created great excitement in this
vicinity.

property. Mrs. Catherwood, who owns
a ranch in Napa county, which is man
aged by her father, snes him for f 1,200,

OUTWITTING THE SMUGGLERS.
How Uncle tom’. Carious - outran Cap-
ton Contraband Cigar*.
’•The ways of smugglers are peculiar,
bnt the ways of custom honse men can
more than ontdo them,” remarked tbe
pnrser of a Havana line steamship.
“Yon know,” he added reflectively, “a
man who visits tbe West Indies and ap
preciates a fine cigar seldom comes bock
to this country without making an at
tempt to do some quiet smuggling. Of
comae the contraband articles are cigars.
It may not be because ho is mean, but
the dnty is stiff, and I can easily imagine
with what pleasure a box of cigars can
be passed around among a few friends
with the recommendation, ‘Boys, Uncle
Sam never received any duty on these,
and I can vouch for them.’ I have been
there myself.
“The shrewd deputy of Uncle Sam
understands all this, and in addition,
the chances are he appreciates a good
cigar ns mnch aa we do. Of conrse he
makes a thorough search for dutiable
goods on the arrival of all our ships, but
there are, he thinks, many little ways by
which he can be avoided, and travelers
are not long in finding them out.
“This does not worry onr friend, the
customs man, for his arrangements, al
though most simple, do not fall fur short
of perfection. He knows of the where
abouts ef every large lot of cigars which
leave Havana, and when we arrive here
has, in all probability, a complete list of
the number we have on board and, the
names of their owners.
“Yon don’t believe It. Well, never
theless it is a fact. When smuggling
was more of a business some years ago
than it is now, a clever easterns man de
veloped-a scheme by which the quantity
of cigars smuggled in this port was re
duced to a minimum.
“An agent of the department was
placed at Havana. He straightway made
friends with the cigar dealers and man-
'nfactnrera. This cost money, but the
game was worth the candle. Whenever
cigars were sold to an American or an
Englishman, in nine casee out of ten the
dealer delivered them, and politely in
sisted on doing so.
“At the request of the buyer they
would invariably be sent on board his
steamship or to the hotel at which he
was boarding. In this way the buyer’s
name and address were ascertained.
“The crafty Caban would then make
a memorandum of this seemingly worth
less information and send It tq Uncle
Sam’s agent. Once in his possession, that
man kept well posted in regard to the
bnyer’e movements,* and on the day he
sailed for New York the amatenr smug
gler’s name, description and the number
of cigars which he had were cabled to
the authorities here.
“No fear of detectlou bothered the
would be smuggler, and on arrival he
would give the easterns man the coldest
kind of a bluff until a few facta and
figures were presented to him.
“Do they give np the cigars? Ota, yes,
bnt with mighty had grace, and if all
the customs men conld be paralyzed for
the wishing, 1 assure yon Uncle Sara
would not hare an ablebodied man in
the bnsiness. It is hard lack to have
some other man smoke the weed which
yonr money has paid for, bnt it happens
more often than yon imagine. The
goods are always confiscated, and the
amatenr smugglers are lucky in getting
out of a bad hole, for smuggling is an
offense not to be trifled with.
“Oh, yes, there are dozens of way* by
which cigars conld be smuggled in this
port without detection; bnt the practice
conld not be carried on long, so the
bnsiness has not grown. Horry I can’t
give yon some inside information, bnt it
would be bad policy."
Then tbe smart looking parser reflect
ively puffed a cigar which had never
paid duty.—New York Son.
.Synod, and Sinnere.
There’s a Presbyterian minister in De
troit whose wife is very fond of thlacity
as a place of residence. Some time ago
the synod to which he belongs was dis
cussing tbe advisability of sending, him
away on some Important business occu
pying a year or so. It was suggested to
him, and he went to bis wife as all good
husbands do.
‘Mydear,”hesaidto her cantionsly,
“what do yon think of going away from
Detroit?"
“I don’t think of it at all,” she an
swered promptly. “Why did you ask?”
Well, the synod has asked me to go,
and”
She went over to him softly, and, pat
ting both hands on bis head in a moth
erly way, she said solemnly:
“My son. If synods entice thee, con
sent thou not.”
And he didn’t.—Detroit Free Press.
