WALL, Editor and Publisher VERNON, LAMAR CO, ALA. FRIDAY, January 13, 1888 Vol. II, No. 32 PAGE 1 THE COURIER ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Washington, Jan. 4 – A great pressure is being brought upon the members in the House, especially those from the South, to secure the passage of the Blair Educational Bill. Members returning fro their holiday recess find their mail loaded down with appeals in behalf of the bill. Some of the letters argue as certain that Virginia, North Carolina, and other Southern states will be lost to the Democratic Party if the bill is not passed. COOKING STOCK FOOD WHEELER TAKES THE CAKE – THE ALABAMA CONGRESSMAN INTRODUCES A PILE OF BILLS THE BLAIR BILL – [Charleston Courier] SHOSHONE INDIANS DISPOSE OF AN OLD SQUAW BY BURNING HER TO DEATH Cheyenne Sun: A horrible crime and one of the most diabolical ever committed in Wyoming, occurred last week in the northwestern portion of the Territory, and many miles from Fort Washakie, and on the Shoshone reservation. An Indian woman, who was probably regarded as a burden by the balance of her band, was unfortunate enough to meet with an accident whereby she sustained a fracture of one of her limbs. The bucks, who appear to have everything their own way counseled together and came to the conclusion that the best thing to do with the poor old woman was to put her to death. In pursuance of this plan, after divesting her of every garment that could protect her from the cold, they drove stakes in the ground and tied her to them, and left her to freeze to death. At the expiration of two days and nights both her arms were frozen solid, but she was not dead. Concluding that some more expiations way must be adopted, they gathered a lot of old blankets, piled them up and around her, and set them on fire. The result of this terrible torture was that her body was so badly burned that the inner organs were left exposed. They then let the fire go out and left her again to freeze. At the expiation of twenty-four hours death at last came to her relief. The affair has been reported to the Indian agent, and it would seem that if ever the perpetrators of a horrible crime would be visited with condign and relentless punishment, the actors in this horrible drama are the ones – and if, in meeting out justice – vengeance ought to be the word – to the brutal hyenas in human form, it becomes necessary to impale every “buck” of the Shoshone reservation on the bayonet, and with the bloody hands that perpetrated this deed chopped off left hanging in mid air to howl out the remainder of a miserable existence that has been naught but a curse to the world – if this is necessary, it should be done and done speedily.

LACY, in company with Miss RAMA LACY, was in town last Saturday. NOTICE All persons indebted to the undersigned can save cost and trouble by going to Judge YOUNG and W. G. MIDDLETON and paying off their indebtedness. Respect E. W. BROCK Mrs. W. A. TURNER died at her home eight miles west of town on last Monday morning. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. G. W. HEWITT at New Hope Church on Tuesday at 11 o’clock. A large multitude of people were present. In today’s paper appears the announcement of Mr. T. M. WOODS for election to the office of Sheriff. Mr. Woods is a gentleman of sterling worth and ability. His qualifications are equal to any in the county and if elected no doubt will give perfect satisfaction. The Leap Year party last Friday night at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. COBB was largely attended; in fact it was the grandest occasion of the season. The young ladies sent complimentary notes to the young gentlemen, who responded with alacrity. Monday night of last week a prominent citizen of the county, Mr. S. W. VICE, had occasion to visit Atlanta, Ga. Upon his arrival in the city to his chagrin and surprise he was at once arrested by a policeman or two upon a rave charge, which was most foreign to Mr. VICE. He insisted upon his innocence but to no avail, he must go to the station house. At the station house, his papers were scanned closely, which failed to convince the officers of his innocence, and but for a timely telegram he would have had to remain in a dingy prison all night. We congratulate him upon his fortunate escape. Sunday night there arrived in town five gentlemen supposed to be mineralists from the east and west. That is it got abroad that this was their business, and our scientists were eager to exhibit all the specimens of mineral and impart all information pertaining thereto. The wise visitors listened intently, but said their plan of discovery was to investigate the very resting place of said mineral. About 4 o’clock Tuesday morning in company with our very efficient Sheriff and Deputy they left town going in a northerly direction, about ten miles they came to a halt; on a short distance they reached the place of designation, when out jumped JIM BURROW. Fire was opened upon him and about twenty shots were fired without stopping BURROW. The game had flown remained nothing to do save return to town. On their arrival they were besieged with interrogation as to discoveries, and when their mission was known the town was all consternation and wonderment. It seems the gentlemen are representatives of the noted Pinkerton Detective service, and came with a requisition from the Governor for JIM and REUBEN BURROW, who is appears had robbed a train in Texas about the 10th ult, and secured near three thousand dollars from the express and passengers. It is a miracle BURROW was not killed as the shots were fired at close range. The news came to town that BURROW’S collar was shot loose and others penetrated his clothing. The detectives left Thursday morning for the K. C. M. & B. The mumps are in town and several citizens are confirmed to their room. NOTICE Is hereby given that by virtue of three several executions one in favor of BLANTON, WATSON, & Co. for $600.00, and the 2nd in favor of F.
