Sfnlth I-rdeml dull—Despftrnt** Effort of
the Condemned ( rlmln.il to Furtipe the
Oftllows Ills Victim Slain While Asilst-
Iflff In Locking the Prisoners In Their
Cell!.
Foist SMltif, Ark., ,Inly 27 — Chero-
kee Bill, the notorious criminal out-
law, Who is at present nflder sentence
of death, has ahother life to answer
for. A little after 0 o'clock Friday
evening R. C'. Eoff, the turnkey of tho
federal jail, as is his custom, was mak-
ing the rounds of the cells, engaged
in locking the prisoners in for
the night. The federal jail
is composed of three tiers,
the lower floor being given over
to those convicted of murder. Chero-
kee llilPs cell is on this floor, on the
north side. The usual manner of fast-
ening the cells is by means of a lever
located in the corridor, at the end of
the cells. After this Is done the tnrn-
key goes inside the steel grating
which surrounds the three tiers and
locks each cell separately. He had
performed this dnty on the south side,
and hnd gone aron rid to Irfck those on
the north side. He Was accompanied
on his rounds by Lawrence Keating,
the night guard, who always keeps on
the outside of the steel grating in or-
der that he may be able to suppress
any riotous demonstrations on the part
of any of the prisoners. As Eoff came
to the cell next to that occupied by
Cherokee Hill, he experienced some
difficulty in locking the ccll door, and
emarked that It had been tampered
vith. As he was endeavoring to re-
lease the keys Cherokee Bill's cell door
was thrown violently open and the
tiftw stopped out with a cocked
revolver in his hand. Throwing it
down on Keating, the guard, who was
only a few feet away, lie saidJ
"Throw up your hands, G—-d d—n
you, or I will kill you."
Hardly were the words out of his
mouth before the fatal shot was fired.
Keating, seeing his danger, turned
slightly around, and the bullet struck
him in the side. 11c staggered toward
the stone wall near him and sank to
the floor. He was dead in a few min-
utes. Eoff, seeing his own danger,
abandoned his keys and started to run.
As he turned to the corner of the tier
of cells Cherokee Hill fired at him, but
failed to hit him. Turning the next
corner, only a short distance away,
Eoff continued his flight down tho
south corridor, until lie reached a cut-
off, where, by standing in the doorway
and clinging to the cell door, be had a
partial protection from the bullets.
While in this position Cherokee Bill
fired three shots at him, but none of
them took effect
At this juncture George dawson, an-
other of the guards, who was upstairs
in the jailer's office at the timo tho
firing commenced, appeared on tho
scene with a Winchester, and began
firing in Cherokee Bill's direction, but
the closely-woven grating prevented
his taking good aim, and his shots
went wild. Seeing that his attempt
to escape had proven futile, Cherokee
Kill ran back tohiscell. Other guards
ran to Lawson's assistance, and a reg-
ular fusilade waa kept up for some
time.
Finally Cherokee Bill agreed to give
up his revolver if the guards would
promise net to kill him. He turned it
over to Henry Starr, and by him the
urderous weapon was passed out to
the guards. A search of Cherokee
Bill's cell revealed the fact that ho had
lit his possession enough cartridges to
have killed fifty men. While the ex-
citement was at the highest his sister,
who has beon In the city several days,
appeared among the crowd of excited
citizens who had congregated on the
outside, and creatcd such a disturb-
ance that it was found necessary for
an officer to lodge her in the county
jail. Cherokee Bill's brother is also in
city, and the supposition is that either
he or his sister furnished the weapon
ith which the desperado did his
deadly work.
This is tho second time within a
month tliut a revolver has been found
in Cherokee Bill's possession. George
Pierce, who is under seutence of death,
is believed to have been implicated in
tho plot As Turnkey Eoff ran along
the corridor ho looked back and saw
Pierce chasing him. In his hands he
held the leg of a table, with whjch he
thought to brain Eoff.
Keating, the guard, was curried out-
side the jail and laid on the grass, lie
never spoke a word uf^er receiving his
death wound. Ho was a faithful and
popular officer, aud his death is deeply
deplored. The shooting inside the jail
attracted a large crowd on the outside,
and when it was definitely known that
Cherokee Bill had added another vic-
tim to his list indignation knew no
bounds. Lynching was openly advo-
cated, and had not United States
Marshal Crump arrived on the scene
when he did and securely locked tho
heavy iron doors of tho jail, it is prob-
able tCherokee Bill would now be
dangling at the end of ropo. A squad
of fifty armed guards were on duty last
uight to repel an expected attack.
Crawford Goldsby, alias Cherokee
Bill, alias Gorilla, is only 10, but has
beon convicted of train robbery and
murder. One inurder case Is pending
!n the supreme court of the United
States, and a charge of killing hii
brother-in-law Is still on the docket
here.

Berlin, July 20.—Although the
health of the empress is steadily Im-
proving it is not likely that she will
be able to go to Sassnitx in time to b«
thee when the emperor arrives. On
Thursday the kaiser was at Nyland—
not the Russian, but the Swedish Ny-
land—where he landed from the
Hohenzollern and gave a picnic party
in a grove situat I a mile in the inte-
rior. On Friday he was at Bergholin
and on Suuday at Ilelsingborg.
From Ilelsingborg to Sassnltz is
but a short trip. The emperor
is in constant communication with
the empress, however, and in the
event that her physicians decided that
she ought not to vesture the journey
to Kugen the emperor will coine to tho
new palace and pass two days with
the empress there before he starts for
England where he will attend tlio
Cowes regatta. The empress still
passes the greater part of each day ill
a reclining position, but she is able to
take freqnent short drives and these
have done her a great deal of good.
Jolly Times on Bonr«l the Yacht lioheniol*
Letters received by their friends
from several of the officers of the im-
perial yacht Hohenzollern tell of jolly
times on board that vessel dur-
ing the kaiser's trip While at
Nyland the emperor arranged boat
races between the crews of tho
Hohenzollern and the war ship
Gefliou and crews of local yachtsmen
and fishermen. After these and other
sports the emperor gave a musicalc re-
ception on board the Hohenzollern,
the crew of which vessel are now
proficient choristers. On this occa-
sion they sang a number of German
national songs in such perfect time
and tune as to excite the admiration of
the Swedes, who cheered them lustily.
The Kmperor's Diversions.
The emperor has been playing lawn
tennis at Tullgarn, dancing at Hern-
osand and having a good time general-
ly. His entire tour has abounded with
fetes given in his honor and good nil-
tured familiarity on his part with tho
natives. He has learned enough
Swedish to enable hiin to toast King
Oscar in that language in a manner in-
telligible to the Swedish folk, and this
has greatly pleased them and also en-
hanced his prestige among them.
The imperial children have been
itaying at the schloes in Dwasiden.
They are kept very close to the schioss
and rarely allowed to go outside tho
park.
FOR THE COOK.
Sweetbread salad is very good mnde
from the cold minced sweetbreads aft-
pr they have been well boiled.
E«o salad is simplo and is made with
hard boiled eggs served ou lettuco
leaves, with French pr mayonnaise
dressing.
Fried bread, put In small aquares,
should be Mrved with tomato soup.
It will also go well with consomme or
ox-tall.
In ranklug a mayonnaise dressing a
half-teaspoonful of white of egg added
before stirring in the oil will prevent
Its curdling.
The report that an entente has been
established between England and the
dreibund in regard to a concerted pol-
icy concerning tho Balkan states is
flfenerally discredited here. C'onnt Go-
luchowski, the Austrian minister of
foreign affairs, had a long conference
with Emperor Francis Joseph at Iachl
on Thursday, and on Friday went to
Altusse to see Prince von ILohenlohe,
the German chancellor, who is so-
journing there. It was the first meet-
ing of these two statesmen as leading
ministers of great powers, although
they were personally acquainted
with each other. Prince llohcnloho
was German ambassador to France
during the time that Count
Goluchowski was secretary of tho
Austrian embassy in Paris, and the
two then met very often. The official
press are unable to say whether tho
recent meeting of the two ministers
was anything more than one of mero
Bourtesy and handle the subject with
x marked degree of voticencc as t«
positive statements. Whatever may
have passed between them the tone of
tlio Nol\h German Gazette's articles
indicate that Germany is not com-
mitted to following the lead of Aus-
tria in Bulgaria. "Germany," says
the Gazette, "though not indifferent
to what may happen in Bulgaria, will
maintain an attitude of reserve."
The Assassin Prlnee.
Meanwhile Prince Ferdinand has
left Carlsbad and joined* his mother
and his wife at Coburg, ostensibly to
assist in the ceremonies in memory of
his father, who died July 2rt, 1881.
Prince August of Saxe-Coburg an I
other members of the Coburg aud
Bourbon-Orleans families joined tho
ifroup on Friday and the meeting was as
i matter of fact a family consultation
upon the question of Ferdinand's re-
tirement from the Bulgarian throne ia
favor of his son Boris, who is now a
year and a half old. Princess Clemen-
tine, Ferdinand's mother, whose money
and pluck have persistentlj' bucked
her son in his acquirement and retain-
ment of the throne, wants him to re-
main in Sofia at any risk, and appar-
?ntly her counsel was heeded and her
propositions accepted. According
to telegraphic advices received front
Coburg yesterday Prince Ferdinand
will return to Carlsbad to complete bis
course of the waters after which ho
will go to Vienna and later to
Sell war zau to join his wife and son,
passing a few days with them before
starting for Sofia. Princess Mario
Louise, with the young Prince Boris,
will not venture to go to Sofia until
things have quieted down, but will
remain at Schwarzeau until Ferdinand
thinks it safe for them to go to Bul-
garia. Carlsbad gossip lias it that
Ferdinand is very despondent and tells
his Intimates that he feels certaiu that
he will moot an early and violent death.
Bitter Feeling Agalost Ferdinand In An*,

A story has been going the rounds
of the Austrian papers which, whether
true or not, gives a very clear idea of
the feeling against Prince Ferdinand,
