DEEMING'S ANTECEDENTS.
ADELAIDE, South A Australia, March
21.-Since the arrest of Frederick
Deeming, alias Williams, and perhaps
dozen other names, evidence has
been coming to light in various other
parts of the world that he is one of the
most consummate villains the annals
of crime has ever furnished. 1t ap-
pears highly probable that the man
has been guilty of crime in every place
in which he has lived of recent years.
The police of this city identified him
as the author of a robbery committed
here in 1885, At that time he was liv-
ing in Adelaide under the alias of
Ward Day. After the robbery was
committed Deeming, accompanied by
his wife and two children, sailed for
Capetown. At the time of the flight
his wife was in a delicate condition,
and was confined before she reached
CapetoWn.

Saturday and was buried in the ceme-

merly resided in this community and
was highly esteemed by all her neigh

The farmers are not decided as to
the damage done by the recent freeze.
Some think corn will generally have
to be replanted, while others are hope
full of that planted coming out. All
agree that the damage to fruit is very
serious if not complete. None
are discouraged, but will use every
effort to repair the damage.
The vote at this place Saturday in
dicated the sentiment of the people
on the great national issue. A large
part of our people were personally op
posed to the exponent of tariff reform
because of his opposition to a cause
very dear to many of them, but laid
aside this opposition, realizing the i'm.
portance of endorsing the conduct Of
Mills in national legislation.

DETROIT. Mich, March 22.-The
Tribune (Republican) today will say
that David Bennett Hill has sent word
recently to his Michigan friends that
he is not candidate for the presi-

cratic State convention will be held in
Muskegon, which will send to Chicago
an instructed delegation with secret
directions to follow the vote of New
York, assurance being given that Hill
is not a candidate. The Tribune goes
on to say that last week local Demo-

they did was to call upon Senator
Hill and ask from him candid defini-
tion of his position. This they got.

"My friends" the senator declared

BRENNAN, Tex, March 22.-Some-
thing of sensation was created ia
the court this afternoon when the re-
port of the grand jury was read and
they asked to be discharged. They
found 81 indictments in all, % felonies
and Is misdemeanors and stated that
the refusal of citizens to testify had
prevented them from ferreting out
other cases. We find that one Adams
deputy sheriff stationed at Quarry
has been guilty of gross negligence OF
the duties imposed upon him in
the arrest of parties for different vio-
lations of the law known to him, de-
priving them of their liberty by con-
fining them in box cars and after
wards releasing them without ever
filing complaints against them. They
complained of precinct officers not
preserving the records, and of some
certain county officials allowing VIOLA
tions of the law to pass without prose-
cution, and that certain parties are
confined in jail without any regular
process of law, some of them for
months at the expense of the tax
payers.
