TerrOrixing the Starving.

THE London TelegraDh's correspon-
dent at st. Petersburg says there has
been an enormous falling of in govern
ment revenues from the famine stricken
provinces. Reports OF the merciless
suppression Of outlawry are continually
received. The civil authorities do not
depend upon themselves alone to put
down lawless acts, but upon the merest
pretext summon the military, evidently
with the intention of overawing the
people. Three men convicted Of rob.
berry at Simbeersk were condemned to
undergo punishment with the knout.
The poor wretch, who probably stole
only to keep alive, died under the lash.
A man detected stealing few turnips
was sentenced for life.

THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY.

A BODY Of masked men entered the
;ail at De Witt, Ark, and shot to death
J. A. Smith, Floyd Gregory and Nose
Henderson. The crime for which the
men paid the penalty originated in di-
,Orce proceedings by Mrs. Mary j.
Smith against her husband. J. A. smith.
I, The suit was fought vigorously by both
parties, but Mrs. Smith was granted \
divorce and given decree for one-third
Of her husband property. On the
night Of the oh instant . negro named
Nose Henderson went to the house OF
Mrs. Smith and shot and seriously
wounded her. The negro was recog-
nizcd and captured and made . confcs-
sion, stating that he was to receive
from Smith SITS. eighty acres Of land,
four head Of cattle and horse for COM
hitting the crime. Smith and his SOU
in.law, Gregory. were arrested. 1t was
reported that Smith and Gregory would
give bond and be released. This report,
it is thought. caused the killing. The
mob was composed OF fifteen or twenty
five men and was very quiet aud order
ly. Some twelve or fifteen shots were
fired into the prisoners. all Of whom
were instantly Killed. The mob left no
clue to its identity, and 1t Is hardly pos
sibIe that their names will ever be
known.
w. H. SUMMERS, tho railroad agent at
Lithonia, Ca, whose mysterious disap-
pearanco week ago created 80 much
excitement, has returned home and tells
. story OF being struck on the head with
. slung shot while on the way homo bv
two unknown men. He fell to the
ground insensiblc. The next hc knew
was the next afternoon, when he opened
his eyes to find himself In log cabin
with two heavily armed men guarding
him. They demanded his money and
threatened to keep him until he gave
them oil he had.

The public generally predicted that the
match WAS an unfortunate one. and the
public was right, for Owens commenced

the whole case has just terminated bv

CAUSED CONSERVATION.
The Decision " hich Barred HALF Breed
From the Rights or ind ls~ns.

The Decision " hich barred HALF Breeds
From the flights OF indiana.
The decision of the Assistant Attor-
ney General Of the United States that
children born of Indian mothers and
white fathers cannot secure the rights
of Indians has created CONSERVATION
among the squaw men and half breeds
upon tho late Sioux reservation. The
decision will affect hundreds Of fami-
lies, and $4,000 tu 100000 acres Of the
most valuable lands upon the ceaed
lands will be thrown open to contest.
In the Pierre land Office 200 Indian Al.
lotments have been made. and out of
this number fully One.half are allotted
to the children of white fathers. Squaw
men in some instances have been given
1900 acres OF land through their chill
dren. They will now be compelled to
give up all but q l6O-acre homestead.
All valuable land within five and ten
miles of Pierre on the west side OF the
river was taken by half breeds or the
children of'squaw men. Some OF their
claims are worth 100000. When the
news reached Pierre the excitement
rivalled the throwing open OF the rcser.
vation for settlement. The land Office
was crowded with parties Offering con-
tests upon choice pieces OF land. In
some instances half dozen contests
were put upon the same piece Of land.
The wealthy squaw men and half breeds
are vowing vengeance II anyone offers
to contest anu take possession Of taeir
lands. Tho decision not only knocks
them out OF their lands, but out OF the
rights of drawing rations. These squaw
men have lived of the government for
years. and they are furious to think
that they will have to earn their living
like common white men. The trouble
has not yet commenced, but when the
white men try to take possession Of the
lands there IS sure to be bloodshe1.
