Protest Against Quick Burial.

BERLIN, Sept. ia clergyman pro-
tests In the Vossiohe Zeitung against the
action of Charlottenbnrg authorities in
having two victims OF cholera buried
immediately after death. Cholera he
says, often ends In catalepsy, and he
illustrates his point by citing the case Of
q Bohemian soldier, who after being
thought dead of the cholera revived in
his coffin. The Vossiche zeitung adds
TO the letter the comment that the cler-
gyman's fears are probably unfounded.

James Masterson was shot and killed by
John Dugan, tough from Turkey
creek. The tragedy was the culmina-

some ladies with Masterson and the lat
ter demanded an apology. A fight en-
sued, in which Dugan was worsted.

the country, swearing to return and kill
Masterson. Thursday he returned, and,
after the affair had been long forgotten,
he proceeded at once to Masterson'a
farm, walked up TO him and without
warning shot him dead. Dugan has es-
