MURDERED AND CREMaTED.
The Horrible Find Made by Two womeI
While Berrying.


While Berrying.
CHEYENNE (Wyo }, August 9th.-Robert
Burnett an eccentric and quarrelsome
rancher, disappeared from his claim ten
weeks ago. The ranch was jumped at
once by George Black, who threatened to
kill his neighbors for suggesting that a
search for Burnett be instituted.
Mrs. Clara Pullman and daughter came
upon an old camp fire while picking berries
yesterday and were horrified to discover in
the ashes the charred skull and other parts
of burned body
The women placed their find in a sack
and it was taken to Laramie by the hus-
band and father, where a careful examina-
ton of the ashes revealed the match box,
q medal, and the buttons, which identified
the remains as those of the missing Bur.
nett.
Everyone believes that the Blacks. who
are disreputable, murdered Burnett and
cremated the remains.
They had previously owned the claim
they now occupy, Burnett having jumped
it. Burnett and the Blacks invariably ex-
changed shots when they met on the road,
keeping up the feud started three years
ago,

WASHINGTON, August 9th.-The State

Consul Frank H. Mason of Msrseilles, in
which he says:
"One of the clearly defined tendencies of

A Man With a Live Head upon Dead
Body.
WASHINGTON, August 9th.-Maurice Ad-
Ter, who was shot in the neck on the night
of June 18th last, by Frank X. Ward, still
lives, and to-day an operation was per-
formed on Kim. 1t is most remarkable
case. His body has been almost completely
paralyzed ever since the shooting, and he
has often been spoken off as the man
with live head on dead body" He has
fingered for more than eight weeks, and
seems to be no nearer death now than on
the day of the shooting.
Too day the patient was placed under the
influence of chloroform and an incision
about three inches long was made down
the vertabra over the course of the wound,
which was found to be entirely healed. On
cutting down upon the spine il was found
that the spinous process of he fourth verta-
bre was fractured and had been driven
against the spinal cord, which it was press
ing upon and had lacerated to the extent of
three fourths of an inch.
The spinous process and the lamuna
were removed and the pressure was then
taken from off the chord. The patient was
much easier after the operation.

BOULDER ON. IT,, August 9th-George
D. Bryson was executed here this morning
for the killing of his mistress, Annie Lind

victim came from Minneapolis to Helena.
Frequent quarrels occurred, and in August
the woman's body was discovered in a pros
pect hole near the city. Bryson gave out
all sorts of stories, but could not bring a
plausible defense. The case had been taken
before the Supreme Court and decided
against Brysor, and he was hanged in ac-
cordance. He stoutly claimed to be limo.

PARIS, August 9!h.-The trial of Boulan-

General, continuing his address, said:
He charged the court, at Clermont Fer
rand, when in command of the troops
there. He originated secret intrigues in
the electoral agitation, and system for the
corruption of officials. Notwithstanding
these acts, he had written to the War Office
disclaiming any connection with what had
been done in his name" The Procureur-
General declared there were documents be-
fore the Court which clearly marked the
downward path of Boulanger from insub-
ordination, to intrigue, falsehood and con-
spiracy.
The Government also has evidence to
show that Boulanger tried to have con-
veyed to Bismarck information that he
