KILLING IN KANSAS.

A Famous Case Recalled After Fourteen Years.

JIMNUTT DYING OF A WOUND.

He Was the 3Ian That Killed Lawyer W. W. Dukes in ITnioiitown, I'cims.vlvania. A Woman I'uts and l-Jiid to llis Exuteuce

After Slic Il« rself Is fatally Shot—Details of the Tragedy.

ATCIIISOX, UI., Feb. 6.—Jim Nntt, made famous for killing Lawyer W. W. Dukes in Uniontown, Pa., over a decade ago, because lie seduced Miss Nutt, is dying from wounds inflicted early yesterday morning by Mrs. John Payton, who committed the act after Nutt, ill a drunken rage, had fatally shot her. Neither can live. Leonard Coleman, a hiredman. who attempted to save Mrs. Paytun's life, is lying seriously wounded, having received a bullet from Nutt'H revolver, but will recover.

Tht1 crime was most horrible and un-])rovo\-"d. The prominence of tho families concerned make it more sensational. The Nutts and Dukes we^v at one time prominent politicians in PennsylI vania, while (,'olenian, wlio is u'7 years of age, originally came from New York, I where he was well known. Fourteen 1 years ago \V. W. Dukes, then a prominent lawyer in Uniontown. Pa., was killed by Nutt for having seduced Miss

Nutt. Before that the Nutts and Dukes were at war a good deal, and during one of several encounters Dukes killed Nutt's lather. He was acquitted, however, making the plea of self-defense. When young Nutt came to trial he was also promptly acquitted, the trial creating a great sensation at the time. fchortla afterwards he moved to Kansas, where he managed his mother's farm. He was considered a good citizen and became prosperous. Until two years I ago the Paytons worked for Nutt, living 011 his farm. Their relations became strained, however, and the Payton family, consisting of the parents and five children, rented a farm eight miles from Nutt's place from Mrs. A. E. Bradbury. Payton has been away from home most of the present winter cutting ice, during which time Nutt renewed his relations with the family.

Nothing outjof the way was discernable in his conduct, however, until Monday, when he sauntered into the Payton household at a late hour under the inflnence of liquor. Payton was absent and Coleman, the hired man, was the only other man 011 the premises. Nutt, who had been on a week's spree, was in no pleasant mood and gruffly ordered Mrs. Payton to get him some supper. Mrs. Payton complied, though more through fear than because she cared to, and scenting trouble, she quietly got the children from the room. Nutt became more abusive tow Payton and seemed to be turning mad.

When he had finished eating lie deliberately drew his revolver and pointing it at the now thoroughly frightened woman cried: "I'm going'to kill you. Before she ^ould make a move lie had carried his threat into effect and sent three bullets into her body. The shots attracted Coleman, who rushed into the house with an ax in his hand. The instant he entered Nutt levelled his weapon at him and fired. Two shots struck the would-be rescuer. He fell to the floor and for a time lay unconscious in the blood that poured from his wounds.

In the meantime Mrs. Payton, with a superhuman effort, had raised herself from the floor and secured the ax. Nutt, had become weakened now sind literally sank in his tracks. Rushing to where he lay the woman, lier wounds bleeding profusely and herself weak from excitement and loss of blood, rained blow after blow upon Nutt's head. Not until her victim's head was a mass of jelly and she too weak to longer wield tlie ax did she desist. Then she sank to tho floor and went into a state of unconsciousness that lasted several hours.

When Coleman finally recovered consciousness, he found both Nutt and Mrs. Payton lying in great pools of their blood. Tying Nutt to a chair lest ho should escape, Coleman gave the alarm. When assistance arrived the woman was beyond help. As soon as Nutt's wounds were dressed he was removed to Atchison, arriving here yesterday even-

ing. Both he and Mrs. Payton are too badly injured to live.

Tlie Kansas Killing Recalls a Similar Case in Pennsylvania.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 6.—The Nutt-Dukes tragedy, which is recalled by the Kansas killing, was tlie reigning sensation in Pennsylvania in 1883 and it gained national notoriety. Captain Nutt was state treasurer and M. L. Dukes was a member of tlie legislature from Fayette county. Both lived in Uniontown. Captain Nutt had a brilliant war record. Dukes had been paying attention to Lizzie Nutt, the captain's daughter, and was engaged to be married to her. I11 the spring of 1883, Dukes, as an excuse for breaking §tlie ^engagement, wrote a letter to Captain Nutt, who was in Harrisburg, which was offensive and improper, relating to Lizzie. On receipt of the letter, Captain Nutt started for home to investigate the allegations made in the letter. He wrote to Duke to meet him, but instead Dukes bought a revolver and kept out of the way of Captain Nutt.

Finally Captain Nutt went unarmed to Dukes' ofi?ce. The t^'o were in aback room together, and wiiat passed between them is only a matter of conjecture. Dukes shot and killed Captain Nutt with the revolver he had bought a short time before. Dukes set up a plea of self-defense and was acquitted. The court in discharging the jury, plainly intimated tlxat it had failed to perform its duty properly. There was general dissatisfaction over the verdict.

In the meantime young Nntt came home from a commercial college he had been attending in New York. Dukes continued to live in Uniontown and frequently passed Young Nutt and members of the family on the street. Nutt made

threats, but often re

ferred to the killing of his father and the acquittal of Dukes. One day he was standing in front of the Uniontown postoflice talking to a friend. Dukes passed. Without saying a word Nutt followed him and fired four shots at him from a revolver. Three of the bullets struck Dukes and inflicted fatal wounds. A plea of insanity was made by the defense, and after 10 days Nutt was acquitted., I

Most Important Measure Before the General Assembly.

PROVISIONS OF THE BILL.

It Is Almost Similar to the One Passed in l.S'Jl Which the Supreme Court Declared Unconstitutional —The Military Dill Discussed in the House —Various Other Indiana State News.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 6.—The fee and salary bill was introduced by the regular committee in the house yesterday afternoon. This is one of the most important measures before the general assembly. The county officers throughout the state have supported a lobby here for many legislatures in order to secure favorable fee and salary laws.

The supreme court, some time i'gn, decided the present law unconstitutional. The law introduced yesterday afternoon is similar to the act of JS'.U. It corrects some inequalities. The salaries of olHeers in soul horn counties where ipvdatiou is decreasing are reduced, those in the gas belt are increased. The salaries of the state officers are mafenI ally reduced, which cau-es some indignat ion in the statehouse.

The robbers were none too gentle with them, except that they protected them with sufficient clothing to keep them from freezing to death. The house was then thoroughly ransacked, and all money taken. It is not known how much, but it is quite a sum. The old man. who is past 85, freed himself at o'clock next morning, and then cut the thongs which held his wife, who is nearly 80. It is feared the old man will die. Persons in the neighborhood are suspected of the crime.

Vessel Overdue.

NEW YORK, Feb. (i.—The steamship La Gascogne has nor yet been sighted. While any number of theories for her long delay are being advanced the agents of the French line console themselves with the most probable one,which is that some accident has happened to tlie vessel's machinery which would necessitate her proceeding under sail. This hope is accentuated by the fact that her boilers and engines are almost new, having been substituted for the old ones during an overhauling of the vessel last summer with the purpose of increasing her speed and making her a seven instead of an eight day vessel.
