QUINCY, ILL, April 19.-Charles Am
aron of Clioto township, near this city,
was brutally murdered this morning by
negro doctor named Smith alias Jami-
son, who had been attending his
mother for cancer. Amaron had agreed
to give him $500 for curing her. This
morning after breakfast Jamison de-
manded his money, Amaron refused,
saying his mother was not yet cured.
Jamison pulled a 44-calibre revolver and
shot him in the head, causing death
within few moments.
JamiSon then pointed the revolver at
Amaron's father and made him sign a
check for $500. Then he grabbed his
valise and started down the railroad
track for Quincy. The neighbors were
called and in few mements half
dozen were following him down the
track with shot guns. Jamison fired at
them steadily and With the utmost cool
ness When his revolver was emptied he
would sit down on the bank and delib-
erately load After he had gone three
miles deputy sheriff appeared with a
Winchester rifle and shot the murderer
in the hip.
He then surrendered and was brought
to Quincy. He insists that he was
drunk, having taken too much last
night, and knows nothing about the
shooting. He is very cool and collected
and tells all the circumstances except
the shooting In a clear manner.

The CABINET
Spends the Day Discussing the RustIers
and CattIemen.


WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 1o.-The
'rustlers" trouble in Wyoming, was the
principal topic of discussion at the
meeting of the Cabinet to-day. All the
members were present, except the Sec
retary OF the Treasury and the Attor-
ney General. The situation in
Wyoming is regarded as serious In
view Of the fact that the
feeling against the prisoners iD charge
OF the military is very bitter, and also
because OF the freely expressed threats
of desperate men that they mean TO
ayenge the killing OF Champion and
Ray at the first opportunity.
No word has been received from Col.
Van Horn and his caDtives at Fort Nc
Kinney since Saturday morning, when
he telegraphed Gen. Brooke, at Omaha,
that he would start that day for Doug
lass TO turn his prisoners over
to the civil authorities. Efforts TO com
municate with Fort Mckinney and vi
cinity since that date have failed, and
this has led to the belief that the rust
lers or their sympathizers have de-
stroyed all telegraphIc communication
so as 20 prevent the authorities from
learning the true situation Of affairs un-
til after their own purposes had been
accomplished.
A telegram was sent TO Gen. Brooks
this morning asking for the latest infor-
nation on the subject. He teiegraphed
in reply that Col. Van Horn with q
force Of 125 men had started from Fort
Mckinney with his prisoners on the
10Th inst. for Fort Da Russell
and that be (Gen. Brooks

Found some Very Bad Land.

BROWNSVILLE, MINI, 10. - Disguised
home seekers are returning TO this village
by the dozens. All Of them succeeded in
locating claims, but they claim that the
land is worthless, devoid of the most es-
sential qualities and not worth paying
taxes on. True there are some good lands
in the Sisseton reservation, but they were
gobbled before the ordinary home seeker
who was willing TO hustle for himself had
a chance TO make his appearance. So far
as the other lands are conc erned, they may
be aptly described by the remark OF high
