To the Editor Of The Appeal
] desire 10 correct o statement that has
appeared twice in The APPEAL, the 18th
and 18th OF this month. Your correspond
cnt states that Claude Simmons called Ray
mond 10 the middle OF the street, knocked
him down with pair OF brass knucks, and
then began to beat him in the face and
hoad--all OF which is incorrect. The true
version Of the matter il rs follows: Ray
mond had the night previous insulted q
young lady whom Simmons had
escorted to concert. Sim
mons called Raymond to him
on the street the next day and demanded
an apology. Raymond refused TO apollo
give and insultingly blew his breath in
Simmons face. Thereupon Simmons de.
nounced him Ms q scoundrel. Raymond
then gave Simmons n blow on the fore
head with n pair OF knucks. Simmons
then knocked Raymond down with his
fist. Simmons was totally without arms
OF any description. As Raymond was in
the act OF falling from the blow from Sim
mons, the knucks fell out Of his Ray
mond's) hands and were picked up by
Simmons. IL Is known that tho knucks
belonged 10 Raymond and not TO Sim
mons. Simmons endeavorcd 10 use the
knucks on Raymond, but because OF an
interference could not do 10. In the
meantime Simmons was using when
n chance prescnted) his fist upon Ray
mond. Mr.. A. X. Walker, cousin OF
Raymond's, attempted TO separate them,
but was stopped by having been hit by
Raymonds first shot intended for Sim
mons. Thoreupon Raymond again fired
upon Simmons, shooting him in the bow
els. Drs. Sale, Of Aberdeen, Hill OF Ma.
con, Young, OF Corinih, and Gilbert, OF
this place, are fearful the wound is mortal.
Walker will recover. In justice TO my
son, Claud Simmons, who IL youth Of
eighteen years. Raymond being man OF
twenty-six years OF age, trust, MS an inn
partial journalist, you will publish both
sides OF the unfortunate affair.

Cree nation. They believe that at times
evil spirits enter the bodies Of members OF.
the tribe, turning theminto wehitigos, who
kill and devour their families. 1t is usual
when any member Of the tribe shows signs
OF becoming wchitigo for the members OF
his or her family to killthe person so afilict-
ed. Last fall half-breed named Con-
teraille, assisted by his son, killed his
wife because it was believed she was turn
ing into a wehitigo. The dominion
government sent detachment Of
police into the Peace river district and
arrested them, and they are now
serving a term for manslaughter in the
Stony Mountain penitentiary. Their pun
ishment caused much dissatisfaction
among the tribe, who contended that II
they had not put the woman to death, sho
would have killed her children and even
them. The woman who is the cause q
the present cases Of cannibalism turned
wehitigo some years ago, and killed ana
ate one Of her children before she was sus4
pected. Having once tasted human blood !
she is supposed by the Indians to DO eng
lowed with superhuman powers, and they
are in such terror Of her that no attempts
have been made TO kill her. At intervals
OF four or five months her craving for
human blood returns, and while in theso
fits 1t is reported she assails the first per~
son she meets. Most OF her children hayo
fallen victims, having been slain with am
axe. The half-breeds and Indians are id
terror, and it is propable police force will
be sent TO Peace river to arrest the man
eater,

A Mississippi House Bill Goes Unsigned

Special Dispatch 10 The Appeal.
Jackson, Miss, March l6.-Iiousc hill
No. SIG, providing for an increase in ihe
privilege tax paid by railroads, and sen, to
the Office OF the Governor on the night OF
adjournment, was found upon examina-
ton Of the executive TO be without the
signature Of the president Of tho
Senate and the speaker OF the House.
There was attached to this bill. ON
the latter part, little amendment TO tlIc
charter OF Starkyille, and 20 this ainend-l
ment the presiding officers names wero|
signed, they being under the impression,
Of course, that II was only one bill, and
thus failed 10 sign the other and more inl~
portant bill. The measure being bill az
iecting the revenue originatcdin the House.
by this oversight the State and countieG
will lose upward OF $4,000 for III
two years, m the bill increased the tax q
railroads 10 that amount. The bill
worthless now and cannot be made n lav
without an extra session, M the constit,1
ton provides that all bills shall be signe1
by the president OF the Senate and speako<
of the House In open session. To 10
Legislatures extreme hurry 10 adjour
dnring the last few days, and the rapi4
manner in which things were rushe1
