St. LovifV Missouri, December 12.???Tho
threatened war with tbo Mormon*
seems to rest on about tbis basis, A United
States marshal killed a rocralwr of the Mormon
church, and the fury -of the saints, at hut
breaking the bonds.of restraint, sought re
venge lu the life of the marshal. On a of tho
officers who his been conspicuous in the pun-
iahment of tho polygamists was Deputy Mar
shal Collin. -Every effort had been made to
imt him out of the way by imprisonment, hut
the attempts bad failed; finally it was deter
mined, that he should be assassinated, and a
rllllanous churchman named McMurrin vrm
assigned the work. At half-past seven o???clocic
Deputy Marshal Collin called at tho (iardo
house, and on entering was met by McMurrin
4tad three men whom ho hod selected. They
undertook to provoke a chance for killing
Collin, hut the deputy entered
tho hotel and refused to quar
rel with them. Tho men
mained shout the entrance of the hotel
until the marshal was about to start home,
when they took a position under cover In an
alley joining the hotel. Burroislng their' in
tentions, the deputy changed hit weapon to
his overcoat racket on starting home. As' ho
THE SHOCHETS BLADE.
A Talk With the Hebrew Hotelier or Atlanta
on the Fresli Meat Vluelnea*;
It was at a slaughterhouse In the outskirts of
the. city, A byef of unusual sleekness was led
out, There was not a blemish from the points
of the boms to the tip of the dangling tail,' Jt
was a gentle mild-cycd creature led to tho
slaughter. A ropo was attached to the left
hind leg, in spite of two or three vigorous
kicks that seemed to rebuke the bystanders
for what they were about to do. Around stood
men and - boys in their sliirt sleeve*,, engaged
one way or another in preparations for tho
work in hand. Foremost among them eras a
benevolent looking old gentleman, whoso dross
showed lie was not of the butcher fraternity.
He was evidently sixty years old. Ho wore a
tall black Leaver, and thick, iron*gray whis
kers covered Ills faeo.
Ho was tho ???shochet,??? the slaughterer of
animals and fowls for the Hebrew congrega
tion of Atlanta,
In his right hand he held a long, kecn-
bladed knife. The edge was like tbo edge of
a razor. Tito smoothness of. the blade was
wonderful and tho edge did not vary tho
thousandth part oT ft hair???s breadth from per
fection itself.
The rope attached to tlie beef???s hind leg was
also attached to a great windhiss god slowly it
was wound up mid the doomed animal was
partially lifted from the floor.
TUB KIIfXTHKT'H STROKE.
The ???ahocket??? drew the long blade across
his thumb nail to try its edge. He was satis
fied with tlie inspection. He then stepped to
the side of the beef, passed his left band
under the throat* ns if. feeling for somo
particular spot, and thou with ft steady hand
> create alarm by firing n pistol, I nc drew the long blade through tho vein and
lfcMu rrin Yelled tho marshal with a chib. The | tender flesh. Just ope stroke! Tho surprised
animal hardly felt the knife's edgo until tho
rctl blood wm running out. Jn four minutes
every possibility of life lmd gou&out from tho
beef and it was dressed. Mcantimo tho
???sherbet??? stood by and when the animal was
dressed he made a careful examination of tho
lungs and other internal organs, oven going "so
fur us to blow into the lungs, and when ho had
satisfied himself that the nnimal was without
sjiot or blemish, ho took a marking pot and
brush and wrote on the Wfin Hebrew char
acters the word ???kosher.???
The task of the ???shochet??? was -ended and
that href was ready'to bo oaten by the Jews.
mRrii ,iv tin??? 1'njr wuwf*, nhu mu Mvriii'iiuii | A f-ONSTJTUTJON reporter who witnessed tho
OQlHn hastened to surrender to the foder.il slaughter asked tho* ???shochet??? why ho had
authorities, lie was placed in tho penitentiary | been selected to slaughter animals. Ho said,
officer at once regained his feet and drawing
fcix gun, began ft fusillade at close quarters.
JleMnrrin received two wounds lu tho breast j
and ftlidomen and. though more than a dozen
shots were fired, Collin was not hit beyond
having hla coal slecvo punctured by
bullets . and his hat shot off
hU???hfod. McMurrin fell, with the ro*
mark that ho was killed. Two of his com-
K nions ran through the alley back of the (Jar-
house, and one bareheaded, with a revolver
protruding from his hip pocket, escaped direct
ly across tho street. A crowd at once collected,
and, knowing it would mean Ids death to bo i
taken by the city officers, who are Mormons.

smoke can be plainly seen from the valley below,
on the top of this mountain la this inaccessible
place lives seven fanrfHes. Tficy are the terror* of
the revenue men, and time and again unsuccessful
attempts have been made toeaptare their illicit
associations. The pocket Is surrounded on each
side by high bluffs, over which It is impossible to
climb. The only point of access being a road Unit

to try It. A raid will be made on the place some
time fu January and will be lod by t utted States

officer who never as yet falls at what he attempts!
Some stirring tales have come from the "Pocket???

citing mob violence. In quick responso td its

their political headquarters, the city hall, and
organized for tho murder of Collin. The tpoU
at once mode a rush for the penitentiary, where
they found that lu. a very short timo United

even without my indorsement it is easy to tell
tho difference in meat slaughtered a$ 1 slaugh

A beef iu usually knocked on tho head and
then stabbed. * It is impossible bv that method
to get oil the blood out of-tbu body, and tho

As to the cohrage of the Mormons about
which so much has been said, the following is
the opinion of one who baa spout his lift with
them. )lo says:

???They aro usually killed about six or seven

1 Was nover wore token back in my life than
when Jake came to mo and complained that ho
had been voudooed.
Jake was a bright mulatto. He was about
thirty years old. He could r6ad and write,
aud belonged to the creme do la creme of col*
ored society in Cottonville. For several years
he bad been a sort of factotum about my office,
keeping things in order, running on errands
and doing odd Jobs.
It was unnecessary for Jake to inform mo
that bo'was sick. Any one could seo at a
glance (hat ho was iu a bad fix. His ill health
bad lasted for weeks, and ho seemed to bo
growing steadily worse. He was in fact a mere
wreck. He could neither cat nor sleep, and .it
waspositivelyminM to seo the poor fellow
drag himself about as he
routine duties.
Of course I had beard of voudooism. I knew
that tho negroes of CottenviHo were liko tho
mats of their rttce all over thewouth, but Jako
was no common negro. His frank confessiou
angered as much as it surprised me.
???Now, Jake,??? I said, with an air of jndicial
severity, ???this sort of thing won???t do. You
know that this voudoo business is all a hum
bug.???
???Yas, Margo Boss,??? replied Jake, ???X dcs-
^Well, then, wh'at do you mean????
Tell you what, Marse Boas,"was tbo dogged
answer, ???Tmj been tricked, I shorely has.???
???Go ahead then,??? said I, ???let wo have thp
whole story.??? .
Tlie victim scratched his head, aud rather
slinmo facedlr proceeded to give rae a history
of hfs case. The details need not -be related
here. It is enough to say that Jako had n
rival in tlie person of one Black Bob. Tho
two bad come to blows more than onco, but
the nretty quadroon who was the cause of tho
trouble slioxx-cd her good senso bv sticking to
Jake. Fiually there came a change. When
Jake's health failed him his girl grexv indifl'T-
ent, and one day surprised everybody in her
circle by marrying Black Bob.
???Xoxv, Murae BoiS,??? said Jako when ho canto
to this part of Ms tale, ???dat makes it stau??? ter
reason dat J???se befcn tricked. What fur a spry
yallcr gal like dat go nu' take up wld a regular
niggr.li????
This was a poser. It was useless for nv
discuss the proverbial fickleness of the sex.
"Anudder tiug,??? continued Jake, ???I a
got no common misery hold uf mg. I'so tried
the doctors. J)ey can't tcch do case. I keeps
ngittin' wuss and wuss, an??? nt night I s:es
Black Boh in dc room all do time, bat when 1
strikes a match nobody's dar.???
???Oh, you???ll come out all right. You may go
Into the country for n mouth. That will help
??u wonderfully.???
For reply Juke drew from his pocket a dirty
little bag uml placed It on my desk.
???What do you call thi*????
???X gotten lilt otitern n crack iu do wall back
my bed.???
???It Is??????
???Do trick bag!??? shouted the sufferer. ???Look!???
and ho emptied the thing.
Just such a condensed museum of horrors I
never saw before, aud I hope never to sec n
similar ono. I could not help thinking of tbo
ingredients of tho witches??? cauldron in ???Mac
beth.??? A lizard???s tail, a ???possum???* claw, a tuft
of hair from n black <log\tail,a piece of suako*
skin, tv lumn of brimstone, tv magnetic rock???
tbeso were some of tbe contents of the bag. J
started to blow them away, but the, dupe of
voudooism interposed and cargfully ???gathered
them up again.
???' ???J???togxvine ter take ???em,??? ho said, ???tar, do
tric k doc tor.???
' ???To t hat old black quack on Yellow CreokF
???JesHo, Morse Boss, un' I wants yer to go
wld me. 1
Tbe plot thickened. I began to bo amused.
The black trick doctor was not unkuown to
me.* Ho came to town occasionally and tho
mingled fear and deference with which ho
wm regarded by the negroes had attracted my
attention. It was a drive often miles to Yel
low Creek, but it was it lino morning. Why
not humor Jake and gp?
. ???AH right, we???ll ho off.fn ten minutes.???
Tlie faithful fellow???s delight was pleasmt to
???see. Ho limped Out aud in a short time bad a
conveyance at tho door.
On n grassy lull overlooking Yellow Creek
stood n double log cabin In tlie shade ofagrovo
of nudcfttic forcat oaks. This was tbo abodo of
the black trick doctor,
I want forward confidently, but with some
curiosity; Jako logged lolliml.
Entering the cabin I saw a plainly but neatly
furnished room in tho center of which sat tho
trick doctor. A blacker negro I nover saw in
my Ufc. Ills face did not havo that shiny
black ness peculiar to wauy of his race; it re
sembled charcoal more than ebony.
The doctor rose when wo entered, aud with
a certain natural dignity said:
???You aro welcome. Wbafc can I do for
T ??Ub ltocfthc negro txvaug, but his Unguago
was-far better thau poor Joko???s.
Finding that it was but of the question to
get a statement from my follower, who ap
peared as anxious to get out as he had ouce
been to get in, I took???tho matter in hand and
related all the circumstances of tho cose.
The trick doctor looked gravely at the sick
mau. Then he felt his pulse, looked luto hi*
eyes aud examined hi* tongue.
???Ho tell* tho truth,??? he said; ???ho has bain
tricked.??? ^ ???
???Heahd?? eoufttr??? bag!??? exclaimed Jake,
producing the cause of all hla woe*.
The doctor examined it seriously. Then ho
went to the shelve* liuing ouo sldo of tbo
room, and after hunting about among the bot
tles and bundles of roots and herbs, produced
n small vial of colorless liquid.
???Swallow this,??? he commanded.
Jake stepped outside with tho vial, siying
that he wonted a drink of water after taking
the medicine. When ho returned the doctor
calmly mid:
???You did not take tbo medicine.???
???XV do Lawcl?????? began Jake.
???Stop.??? said the other, "don???t lie to me.
You aro in my hands now. 1 ant going to cure
you, but you must obey me.??? ???
Jake???s wool displayed a tendency to stand
t end. * .
Another vial wr.s placed iu his baud, and
this time he obediently swallowed tho con
tents without even winking.
**fiit down awhile,??? was the next instrui
tion.
As tbe mysterious physician^ appeared to
have the case.off his rniud. for the time being,
I tried to engage him in conversation, hut
without much success. Seeing a table in the
room literally covered wiik gold aud silver
coin aud bank notes, I asked the doctor what
he would ebargo to cure Jake.
???Nothing,??? was the quiet reply.
"Nothing!???
"I mean that I charge nothing. Somo
of my patients make me presents,??? and
ho looked meaningly at the money on the
table.
???Afe you not afraid of being robbed!??? I
asked.
X'or the first and only time during the visit
thi* strange being laughed.
???Bobbed !*??? he repeated; ???no, there is not
the least danger. 1 sleep with door* aad win
dows open, and hundreds of people know thAt
1 keep my money on thtt table. A
robber would as soon face the devil as to en-
mr house.???
tried to lead the conversation to medical
suWect*, and spoke of the properties of certain
hern end their effect in nervous diarae*. The
black face showed no animation, no interest,
but at last the doctor raid:
???You white people are wise. Yon know a
great deal, but some of the blacks, being shut
out from books aad tho teachings of science,
bare beed driven by necessity to study deeply
the secrets of nature- My father came from
Africa. At home he was a great min, a wise
nun. He taught me many things, snd I have
Fpent ray life studying men and boasts and
nature, J have picked up some education, but
books ore no good.???
By this time Jake gave signs of restlessness.
After looking intently at him a moment, tho
dcctor handed Irfm the trick bag saying:
???Take that to the creek. Turn round three
tiroes and throw it in. Then stop by tbo
fpring, null up ft plank, and .you will find a
spring lizard. Bring it to me.???
Jake departed on his mission, and presently
returned with the lizard.
The doctor took Joke's, empty medteiue Vial
and held it- under the lizard's mouth.,
???Squeeze him,??? he said.
The order was obeyed, and a stream of
milky looking water gushed into tho vial com
pletely filling it.
???Now, kill him,??? was the next direction, and
this, too, was carried out.
Eoth Jake and myself began to feci some
what mystified, but the wonderful black man
scaled up the viol and handed it to Jake.
???Make no mistakes,??? lie said, ???and yon aro
saved. Iu some way hide this vial in Black
Bob???s house, near his bed. Then you will, get
well, and the trick will be on him.???
Wc took out departure and made a rapid
drive back to Cottonville.
???Why, Jake, yon are looking better,??? I re
marked three days later,
???JBlessyo??? soul, -Massa Boss,??? wa* the reply,
??????cc nearly well. But yer j 1st oughter see dat
udder feller 1???
I did seo the other feHow a little later, and I
saw at once that the spell was working. Day
by day I watched the result. Even now I
hesitate to pnt it down on paper.
In the course of a few woeia Jako regained
his former. health and spirits. Black Bob
went moping about, lie had racking pains in
every joint. He became blind and deaf, aud
rent blotches of white and green disfigured
is skill. His wife left him in disgust, and all
the negroes pointed .him out as a man who
wasuuder the voudoo spell, and refused to
have anything to do with him. Tho misera
ble wretch wandered off in tho xvoods to die.
Jake is still hearty and frolicsome, but while
lie has if great respect for the trick doctor who
J rolled him through his trouble, lie cannot be
nduced to visit him. I don???t* much blamo
Jake. There is something uncanny about tho
whole affair.
