Foul PLAY.-At Herman, on Saturday
evening, young man named John Ora.
ham, employed hauling wheat for one
George Wilcox, was found dead in his
wagon shot through the head and leg. 1,
is thought that the deed was committed
for the purpose of robbery, as when the
murdered man was found his pockets were
turned inside out and his person showed
other signs of an evidently hasty bu,
thorough search for booty. This theory
however may not be correct, as the turn
ing of the pockets may have been blind
for the purpose of diverting suspicion, as,
if the murderer or murderers were inspired
to commit the foul deed for any other pur.
pose than that of plumber. they might dis
arrange the clothing with the object OF
misleading and throwing the officers on
the wrong scent. Graham had been in
town with large load of wheat, drawn
by two yoke of cattle, and had been de-
layed SO that it was dark when he started
for home. The generally accepted theory
is that he was spotted by couple of sus
picious characters who had been seer
prowling around the village and who are
suspected of being the murderers. They
probably laid in wait for him, and suppos
ing he had the proceeds of the
sale OF the wheat in his possession they
opened fire on their unsuspecting victim
They were foiled however in securing any
money, rs the owner of the grain, Mr. Will
cox, had started home in advance Of the
illfated Graham, himself carrying the pro
ceeds OF the sale Of the grain. All efforts
to find clue to the whereabouts of the
suspected parties has proved fruitless, the
two rangers who are under suspicion
having mysteriously disappeared, and al
though squads of armed men have secured

trace of the supposed lnurderers can BIZ

Chinamen's Wives.

A Chinaman, when anxious to have q
wife OF his own nation, says The North
China Herald, sends q letter to an agent
in Hong Kong. A reporter has one OF
these epistles, but it is practically inn
possible to translate it into English.
The following, however, is condensed
TRANSACTIONS: II want q wife. She
must be maiden under twenty years
OF age. and must not have left her faith
er's house. She must also have never
read a book. and her eye-lashes must
be half an inch in length. Her teeth
must be as sparkling as the pearls of
Ceylon. Her breath must be like unto
the scents of the magnificent odorous
groves Of Java, and her attire must be
from the silken weavers OF Kali
Ching, which are on the banks of the
greatest river in the world-the ever
flowing Yang-tse-K iang.n The price
of Chinese woman, delivered in Syd-
ney, is f3S, but two Chinese women
only cost f52; therefore, the heather
Chinese import the women in couples.
The importer never sees his women be-
fore they arrive, and then he generally
selects the best-looking one. The other
is shown around to a number of we'll
TODD Chinese, and, after they have in
SPECIFIED her, she is submitted to what
may be called public auction. The
writer happened to be present at one of
these sales. A young girl, aged about
10, was offered, and after some spirited
bidding she was purchased by wealthy
Chinese store-keeper, whose place of
business is in one of the leading towns
Of New South Wales, for f120. The
melancholy aspect of the Celestial girl
IS she went away in company with the
man who purchased her was deplorabls
to the last degree.
