There were quite number OF the
boys from the roundup in town on last
Saturday afternoon. They said they
came in for the purpose of getting a
square meal. The wind had been blow
ing small sized cyclone ever since the
roundup started, so that there was as
much sand as flower in their bread, and
they wanted something they could di-
gest. Henry Hensen, of the Monarch
Lunch Counter, satisfied their appetites
in the substantial line, and Tom Boyd
was kept busy for about four hours sup
plying them with cool beverages, such
as mint-iul!ps, whiskey-mashes, soda
cocktails and milk-punches. They all
went away perfectly satisfied with the
treatment received, and somewhat
lighter purses.

A CHILD MURDERER.
A Nine-Year-old Boy Kills His Six
Year-Old Brother

MACON, Ca, May 17.-From Fancy
Bluffs, in Glynn county, this State, comes
the news OF tragedy in which nine
year-old boy murdered his six-year-old
brother. The father is Col. John d. Will
hanson, one OF the most prominent men in
this section Of the State. He, with his
family, had just returned from journey,
and the children were put to bed in the
same room. After they had said their
prayers, Mrs. Williamson joined her hus-
band down stairs. Five minutes later they
heard the report of a gun inEthe boys
room. When Col. Williamson reached
the door, the elder boy was standing in
the open door. In reply to the question,
"what has happened?" he replied: ooh,
it's all right; nobody is hurt" The father
and mother pushed into the room. On
the bed lay their youngest child, his head
literally blown TO pieces. The weapon
was heavily loaded shotgun, and must
have been held within few inches OF the
victim. The unconcern Of the youthful
murderer was appalling. He admitted
the killing, but said laughingly: whats
the good OF brother anyway" Col.
Williamson says that the young murderer
must either be half-witted, or insane. The
brothers had always appeared to have
great love for each other.
