IN COLO BLOOD. 4) .org Mitchell Deliberately Murdered at Ogden This Morning-- . Ogden, Jan. 20. Special to The Times. John Dillon shot and instantly killed (ieorge Mitchell, bartender in the Broom hotel at 7:30 o'clock this morning. Dillon was from Rawlins, Wyoming, and stepped into the bar at the hotel named and invited the bar-tender, Mitchell, to take a drink with him. The latter declined, when Dillon pulled a gun and deliberately shot Mitchell four times. As Mitchell fell, Dillon ripped out an oath and said, "You are not hurt," and then fired an-other bullet into the dying man. Dillon was arrested at once and is now in custody. A postmortem was held this afternoon and an inquest is now being held, the particulars of which it is impossible to get at this hour. Judge McQInnl.' Stat.mtnt. Judge McGinnis the distinguished jurist who presided over the welfare of the Wyoming litigant for many years came down from Ogden this morning and bore with him tidings of the mur-der of George Mitchell by a fellow from Colorado who was arrested and subse-quently registered as John Dillon. Owing to the short time allowed before the departure of the train the judge had but a moment to devote to the particulars, but says be was in-formed that it was cold blooded and unprovoked. Mitcholl has been em-ployed for a long time in the saloon at the Broom hotel, and numbered many friends. He opened the place as usual this morning and was standing behind the bar, it is said, when his visitor entered. Dillon was under the influence of Uiiuor at the time and invited Mitchell to join him in a driuk. This the saloon man declined, and without further cause the customer la sold to have- - pulled a revol-ver and muttered him.; Intense iuiUgna tion is said to have follo wed and threats of lynching were freely - indulged in. Mitchell is well known in Salt Lake and is spoken of in highest terms by all. CONFUSION IN THE HOUSE. Democratlo Obstrnotionlat Can All lb Trouble They Can. Washington, Jan. 20. In the house today in pursuance of the policy of tho democrats, Bland demanded the read-ing of the journal of yesterday in Tho clerk having concluded the read-ing, Bland made tho point that the Journal had not been read in full, and demanded a description of the various executive communications, resolutions, hills and petitions which had been re-ferred under the rules and not in open house be read. The speaker orderod the clerk read this portion of the jour-nal. Its reading was not completed until 1 o'clock. Then ensued one of the wildest scene of confusion the house has seen during the present con-gress. The speaker having stated the question to be the approval of the jour-nal, and having counted and stated an affirmative vote. Mills of Texas, rising to a parliamentary question, asked whether It was a proper question or not on ordering the pre-vious question. This query was based upon the fact that when the clerk fin-ished reading the first part of the jour-nal (portion usually read) McKinley of Ohio had demanded the previous ques-tion. The speaker in response to the In-quiry stated this was the fact but said the demand was renewed after the reading of the completed journal. Mc- Kinley corroborated the statement. Mills then expressed his wish to debate the question of approving the journal but the speaker declined to recognize him on the ground that the house was dividing. Then the storm cloud burst. With excited gestures Mills strode down and shaking his fist at the speak-er roared out a volume of denunciation accusing him of practicing fraud on the house. "Yon are perpetrating a fraud upon the house," he thundered, "and you know it." and his party colleagues burst into a round of applause and cheers and gathered arouna their cham-pion, but the speaker, immovable amid the excitement, requested those opposed to the approving of the journal to riso. Fhlegmatically ho counted one, two, three, and announced the motion car-ried, 67 to 3. The yeas and nays were demanded by the democrats, and as the clerk proceeded to call the roll Mills poured out his denunciations. Again he accused the speaker of perpetrating a fraud upon the house and, referring to McKinley, said, "we did not expect the gentleman from Ohio to lend himself to such pro-ceedings. We rely on the gentleman from Ohio, for we believed him an honorable gentleman and we knew he (indicating the speaker) was not. Perkins of Kansas, (sarcastically) "And he (indicating Mills) is a gentle-man. Allen of Mississippi. That is more than can be said of some persons on the other side. Then as the clerk went on monoton-ously calling the roll Mills (ignoring him) proceeded substantially as follows: "You do not dare to go before the country with such a. revolutionary measure as you are proposing to pass. 'We hAv right under the -- rules'' tor de-- -; bate the question 6f approving the journal, and you (addressing the speaker) are denying that right. Korr of Iowa Such proceedings as this are treasonable, and they are headed by a man who helped treason before, Mills You are a traitor yourself to the constitution and laws. You are trying to surround the ballot box with bayonets and deprive the people of their rights of representation. Then followed an enthusiastic demo-cratic apploufre, while the republicans crowded to tho bar of the house and announced their disapproval by hisses. The house was a regular babel of voices, excited, loud but unintelligible. Cutcheon of Michigan, stood in the center of tho aisle and as Mills went on repeated with indignation and empha-sis one word: "Bosh." Mills' reply to this exclamation was "Bring in another resolution of censure then." By this time affairs had approached so near to a personal rupture between tho gentlemen on the opposing sides that the speaker was obliged to call upon the sergeant at arms for assistance and that officer bearing the mace in front of him, in-duced Mills to tuke his seat and the storm passed away for the time. The journal was approved, yeas 144, nays 103. McComasof Missouri moved that the house go into committee of the whoie on tho District of Columbia ap-propriation bill. The motion was agreed to yeas 189; nays 107; and accordingly tho house went into committee of the whole on the bill indicated. THE TRAIN HELD UP. Tb Robber. Got Away With About SSO,.

Parliament reconvenes next Thursday, and then "the first assembly of gentlemen in Europe", will make an ostensible effort to pass some needed legislation.

The county court of San Pete has decided not to consider the question of building a new courthouse for another twelve months. This move was made in accordance with the pe-titions of over 500 voters representing the north end of the county. The citi-zens of Manti and the south are indig-nant and propose circulating counter petitions asking a reconsideration. L iat summer the question of removing the county seat was hotly contested and very bitter personal feelings were en-gendered. Manti won the county seat, but the northern settlements secured a majority of the county officials. As the time for tho city election draws near much wire pulling is not-iceable among tho different political factions.
