KILLING 111 KANSAS.
A Famous Case Recalled After Fourteen Years.
JIMNUTT DYING OF A WOUND.
He Was the Man That Killed Lawyer \V. W. Dukes in Uniontown, Pennsylvania.
A Woman Puts and End to His Existence After She Herself Is Fatally Shot—Details of the Tragedy. ATCHISON, Kan., Feb. 6.—Jim Nutt, made famous for killing Lawyer W. W. Dukes in Uniontown, Pa., over a decade ago, because he seduced Miss Nutt, is dying from wounds inflicted early yesterday morning by Mrs. Jolm Paytoti, who committed the act al'ter Nutt, in a drunken rage, liad fatally shot lier. Neither can live. Leonard Coleman, a hiredman, who attempted to save Mrs. Paytou's life, is lying seriously wounded, having received a bullet from Nutfc's revolver, but will recover.
The crime was most horrible and unprovoked. The prominence of the families concerned make it more sensational. The Nutts and Dukes were at one time prominent politicians in Pennsylvania, while Coleman, who is 27 years of age, originally came from New York, where he was well known. Fourteen years ago W. 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 tit war a good deal, and during one of several encounters Dukes killed Nutt's father. 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. I
Shortla afterwards he moved to Kansas, where he managed his mother's farm. He was considered a good citizen and became prosperous. Until two years ago the Paytons worked for Nutt, living on his farm. Tlieir 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 out]of the way was discernable in his conduct, however, until Monday, when he sauntered into the Payton household at a late hour under the influence of liquor. Payton was absent and Coleman, the hired man, was the only other man on 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. As he ate, Nutt became more abusive toward Mrs. Payton and seemed to be turning mad.
When he had finished eating he deliberately drew his revolver and pointing it at the now thoroughly frightened woman cried: "I'm going to kill you. Before she lould make a move he 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 superliuir.au effort, had raised herself from the floor and secured the ax. Nutt had become weakened now and literally sank in his tracks. Rushing to where he lay the woman, her 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 the ax did she desist. Then she sank to the floor and went into a state of unconsciousness that lasted several hours.
When Coleman finally recovered consciousness, he found both Nutt and Mrs. Payton hang in great pools of their blood. Tying Nutt to a chair lest he 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 evening. Both he and Mrs. Payton are too badly injured to live.
NUTT-DUKES TRAGEDY.
The Kansas Killing Kecalls a Similar Caso iu Pennsylvania. PITTSBURG, Feb. 6.—The Nutt-Dukea tragedy, which is recalled by the Kansas killing, was the reigning sensation in Pennsylvania in 1888 and it gained national notoriety. Captain Nutt was state treasurer and M. L. Dukes was a member of tho 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, aud was engaged to be married to her. In the spring of 1883, Dukes, as an excuse for breaking Pjthe ^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 Duk*« to meet him, but instead Dukes bought a revolver and kept put of the way of Captain Nutt.
Finally Captain Nutt went unarmed to Dukes' olKce. the were in aback room together, and what passed between them is only a matter of conjecture. Dukes shot and killed Captain Nutt with the revolver he had bought a shore time before. Dukes set up a plea of self-defense and was acquitted. The court in discharging the jury, plainly intimated that it had failed to perform its duty properly. There was general dissatisfaction over the verdict.
In the meantime young Nutt came home from a commercial oollege he had been attending in New York. Dukes continued to live in Uniontown and frequently passed Young Nutt aud members of the family on the street. Nutt made no threats, but often referred 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 liiixi from a revolver. Three of the bullets struck Dukes and inflicted fatal wounds. A plea of insanity was made by the defense, tind after 10 days Nutt was acquitted.
GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7. 1895.
THE MUNITIONS OF WAR.
How the Royalists of Hawaii Received Their Srtpplies. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6.—The sworn statement of the captain of the Waimanalo, the vessel that landed at Honolulu the arms and ammunition used by the royalists in the recent attempted revolution, has been received in this city, and will undoubtedly create a stir in Washington, as congress is now endeavoring to get from the state department all information possible as to the identity of the subjects engaged in the revolution, and of those who were instrumental in furnishing arms to the conspirators and revolutionists.
The captain says that he was engaged by W. H. Rickard to deliver the arms and ammunition by the Wainianalo. He was to receive $10,000, of which #1,000 was to be paid in cash. His instructions were to go off the coast, where a schooner was to meet him, from which he was to receive the arms. This schooner was called the W. H. Rickard. He was told that she had been towed out of San Francisco ami the arms put on board by a tug. Off Waikiki two boats came alongside the vessel and the arms and ammunition were transferred to them. There were 300 carbines and several sacks of ammunition. The captain disclaims all knowledge of w~ shipped the goods and who paid for them.
NEW COAL COMBINE.
It Is a Rival of the Hocking Valley Combination.
COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 6.—Another big coal combine was effected in this city yesterday, the action being a sequel to that taken recently by the coal operators of the Hocking valley, who consolidated their interests.

The companies in the consolidation are: Sunday Creek Coal company, the Phoenix Coal company, W. P. Rend & Company, Cour fright, Kistler & Company, and the Northern Fuel company.
A meeting of representatives of these jompanies was held in this city yesterday, the result of which was the incorporation of the Ohio Central Fuel jompany, with a capital stock of $100,D00. The object, as stated, is to operate mining property in an economical manner, but the real object is to meet the Hocking combine. The new concern will control the entire output of the coal lands on the Ohio Central railroad.

FEE BILL1HTR0DDCEP
Most Important Measure Before the General Assembly.
PROVISIONS OF THE BILL.
Jt Is Almost Similar to the One Passed in 1891 Which the Supreme Court Declared Unconstitutional—The Military Bill 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 iu order to secure favorable fee and salary laws.
The supreme court, some time ago, decided the present law unconstitutional. The law introduced yesterday afternoon is similar to the act of 18U1. It corrccts some inequalities. The salaries of officers in southern counties where population is decreasing are reduced, those in the gas belt are increased. The salaries of the state officers are materially reduced, which causes some indignation in the stateliouse.
The house discussed the Melondy military bill. Adjutant General Bobbins asked for an appropriation of $75,000 a year. He is now getting $37,500. Many representatives spoke against increasing the militia's power, and the bill was referred back witji recommendation for a $45,000 appropriation.
A bill to create a steam boiler inspector, with assistants, wu»i voted down in the house.

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 7 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. 0.—The steamsliip La Gascogne has not 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 the 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 one3 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.
