ed as saving that Congress had really

GRAND Forks, n. d., special: w. II.
Botheim. employed US Il scaler in Walk
IRIS lumber yard, was shot and killed.
The shooting occurred in the full light
of the moon. neal several residences
where families were sitting out doors.
several persons saw the shooting and
agree that no word OF warning was
given. Three men met Botheim and,
toward the outskirts OF the city. The
third was lost sight of except by m
woman, who claims she followed his
movements ana insists that he, after
remaining quietly until the crowd came
up, mingled among them. Botheim was
IL single man. thirty-iive years old, very
steady and Industrious, without enc
mics. A watch. cheap jewelry and $40
in money were found on his person. If
robbery prompted the shooting, the
murdered failed in their purpose. Of
ficers have organized = posse and are
securing the town. Several arrests on

who heard the shots and saw the flash

SAN FRANcIsco special: A letter
from Foo Chow, received by steamer,
gives curious revolving details in regard
to the %behcading of Y famous pirate at
Hortan. When this man was on
demned. he was presented with a face
towel, 400 copper cash, u little parasol
and q lantern for his use on his way to
the next world. This curious continue
ton OF an old superstitious custom is to
show the fellow feeling Of the judge for
the condemned, since it is not he
but the law of the land that has passed
the sentence of death. After the pir-
ate's head was struck off the execu-
TONER and his assistants cut open the
liver. This was divided on the spot
among the executioners, who devoured
it. The liver of . decapitated man be-
ing regarded as u remedy against being
visited by the spirit of the departed, as
well as ~eficiaciacy as medicine in cases
Of consumption.
