the hereditary transmission Of cancer has

According 10 Icbcrt and laioni, Il would
break out in fifteen cases out Of one
hundred. Cancer will not unircqucntly
multiply In the same family. and ono OF

Warren! The father had died OF cancer in
the lip, the son had one in the breast, and
two Of the daughters were also afflicted.
Broca had. In one family. sixteen deaths
from cancer out Of twenty-scven- persons
over the age Of thirty. The tendency Of
cancer is TO break out In the same organ In

Special Dispatch TO The Appeal
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Feb. 13.-S. /.
Echols, the sewing machine agent who
was assassinated Thursday evening near
Hamburg. this State, was citizen of this
city, in the employ Of w. S. Holt, of the
Union Sewing Machine company. It was
first thought Echols was mistaken for an
other man, and that the assassination was
committed through malignity and not
for gain. The general belief is that the
heilish deed was committed with inten-
tons OF robbery. 1t was known that Mr..
Echols had some money with him,
and IL is now believed the muir
der was premeditated affair. There
was unquestionably more than one
assassin, as there were several shots
fired, one passing through the woodwork
Of the buggy seat. The theory is that the
robbers concealed themselves in the brush
near the roadside and when the murdered
man was opposite they opened fire. The
report OF the guns no doubt frightened the
horses and they Immediately dashed away
while the wounded man remained In the
vehicle for several hundred yards. The
robbers were too cowardly TO follow and
sneaked away without their booty. The party
who met the hack and drove back TO
where the dying man lay is Of the firm be-
lief that the deed was committed some dis
lance further down the road. Every effort
is being made TO apprehend the fends and
II is thought will be caught. Mr.. Echols
remains reached this city this morning
and were buried today.
