MURDER OF AN RNOLISII TRAVELLER IN

CENTRAL ASIA.

Sir It. J. Murchison has related to the Royal ti cages.
phical Society, the treacherous murder of Kr. O. W.
Hayward, the Central Asian traveller. On his first
Journey Mr. Hayward was received in the most friendly
manner by the Tulin chief, but gave no aceount of
what happened between them on his second journey in
July, and does not know the motive of Meer WWII
Khan's change of disposition towards the traveller.
The Wuseer of l'asdri was & great friend to Mr. Hay-
ward, and, possibly, the chief was jealous of that
friendship. He ht, however, have been actuated
by cupidity, and the desire to plunder the traveller's
property. His murder being resolved upon, Meer
Weill sent some of his people after him, on the road to
Dulcet. Mr. Hayward appeared to have bourne sus-
picions, and on the march ordered his followers to keep
their arms in readiness. At night be sat up at the en.
componeut, with his loaded pistols by his side ; but in
the morning, being overcome with fatigue he fell
asleep. The chief's men, who had been in ambush,
then came forward, reixed him, and dragged him by a
rope round his neck, stoned him to death, together
with his moonsbee. Thus this intrepid and acute-
plished traveller, in the prime of hie youth, wee
treacherously slain, and his body lies under a heap of
stones in that inhospitable region. As to Meer Weill
Khan, be henceforth became a doomed man. The
neighbouring peoples and chiefs, horrified at the deed
be had committed, chased him from their territories.
He fled first to Badaeshan, then to hie uncle, the Chief
of Chitral. He was now in oonualment somewhere in
the mountains, or probably by this time has bees caught
and executed.

TORTURING A BEAR St WOLVES FOR SHOW.
At Kingston, on Friday, three Germans, named
Carlo Herman, Francis& Herman, and Otto Herman,
were charged with cruelly torturing a bear sod ail
wolves, and for keeping • bear for baiting purposes.
W. Peet stated that the defendants had an exhibition
in the (airfield of • bear and six wolves. Otto Her-
man went into a den where a bear was chained very
abort, leaving the animal only about six inches of chain
to move its bead. He had a stick, and struck the boar's
paws three or four times violently, end made the animal
cry out as if in pain. The bear than pat its head under
a flange which held the bars, when the defendant
poked It with a stick on the upper jaw, which made
the bear very ferocious. Homo of the 1/1,11040 in the
exhibition called "tihame !" and went away. After
that Carlo Herman entered a deo containing six wolves,
carrying a think iron mod in each hand. As WWI as he
got inside the wolves rushed at him, when he struck
one of them on the head and knocked it down. Several
persons left the show disgusted. The defendant gave
up the iron rods on being requested, but intimated that
they had daggers and pistols in ease they wanted to
use them. Arthur Cheery, veterinary surgeon, said
the evidence he had heard bore out his own experience,
having before risen the "exhibitim" and examined the
bear,lwbich he found very emaciated and blind, both
eyes haring been very much injured. The defendant
Carlo said the bear was very ferocious, and had killed
a man at Cologne. It transpired that the defendants
had been before three London magistrates, and had
been before three London magistrates, and had been
discharged each tinte.—The Beach fined them 30s. each,
including eoete, or 21 days'. Defendants gave notice of
appeal against the decision.
