and Austin ran when, Neyman shot him
twice more, then Evans shot and Austin
fell, then both Of the parties shot several
times at the dead negro body lying on the
ground.
An inquest was held soon after the kill
ing and the verdict of the jury was that
Austin came to his death at the hands Of
Evans and Neyman.
The negro had seven bullets through his
body, any one Of which was sufficient to
have proved fatal.
Soon after the news reached town yester-
day evening Henry Womble and T. T..
Jones, as deputy sherifs, started in pur-
suit, and this morning about an hour after
sunrise the posse came up on the murdererH.

town ABOUT noon and the Judge, in in
structing the sheriff in reference thereto,
told him that che was informed that vio-
lence had been used upon one of the depu-
ties Of this court in the regular discharge
of his duty, and that he ordered him
to summon enough n,sn and repair
at once to the scene and capture the out

county FOR that purpose"
Sheriff and posse are in pursuit of the
outlaws now, but no news from them
Henry Womble, the wounded deputy, was
brought in this evening He received a
bullet in the hip from a Winchester of one
of the outlaws. Several witnesses to the
killing have arrived, and the grand jury is
investigating the deplorable affair. II is
understood that Evans and his clan are de
flying the law, and say they viii not be
taken alive, but your correspondent is
forced to believe that there are enough
people in Union county to effect their cap
ture, and see that the cold letter of the law
is justly meted out to them for attempting
to murder deputy sheriff in the discharge
Of his duty, even If not to satisfy the law
for killing niger in Union county.

Say They WIN Not be Arrested.


Say They win Not be Arrested.
Ell DORADO, ARK, March 30.--As wired
YOU on yesterday, there has been another
murder in this county. The news reached
our town yesterday just ON the eve of our
circuit court adjourning, and as the regu-
lar grand jury for the present term of the
court had adjourned; his honor, G. w.
Smith promptly ordered a special jury EN-
panelled to Investigate the alleged killing,
and the facts are about as follows: In the
first place, it seems that the murdered
negro was owing John Evans debt con-
tracted last year for supplies or something
else, and John Evans short time ago de-
manded that the negro should pay him.
Upon the negro refusing John Evans forci-
bly, took the negro children away from him
to work the debt out, and would not give
them back to the negro. All this occurred
before our circuit court convened, and John
Evans feared that when the grand jury did
meet that the negro would report him, and
so he made threats around the neghborhood
that if he did he would kill him. So when
the grand jury met Charley Austin (the
murdered negro) came before their body
and told them his story of the affair, went
back TO bis home, and the rest is told by
an eye witness as follows:
John Evans on going to the field
where he had two Of Charley Austin !
children at work, found them gone; going
back to the house told J. N. Neyman (his
half brother) TO get his gun, 20 and kill
Austin at tirst sight, and he would 20 and
kill Morgan and get the children back So
Evans and Neyman both went over to
Austin's and finding him gone, proceeded
l. - -
his sewing machine and clock, with which
they started home, and after going little
way, met Austin and wife, when Evans
struck Austin across the head with his
gun, then J. N. Neyman fired on Austin

A BABY FARM.
Discovery Made by Health Officers al
Sangs, Mass.


sangs, Mass.
LYNN, MASS, April by the
arrest of Annie B. Fisher and
daughter, Mary c., of Sangs, baby
farm has been brought to light.
State Officer Shaw arrested the
women on the charge of taking to
board more than two children at one
time without notifying the board of
health.
A dead infant of three months,
appareled in tattered pillow slip,
was found Wednesday by Chief
Clark, in the edge of the woods near
an old and squalid farm house, occu-
pied by the Fisher woman. An in
yestigation of the house revealed
ample evidence Of criminal occupa-
ton Of the inmates. Under their
care were found six children, whose
ages varied from thIee weeks to
eight years.
The proprietor of the place re-
fused to give the names of the
parents of two children. One of
them is an idiot, girl,
nine years of age, who has
been in the place for four years.
1t is said, however, she has brother
and sister in Taunton.
1t is almost impossible to picture
the wretched degree Of filth and de-
prayity in which the place has been
carried on. Officers say it is the
worst case of the kind they have
ever seen. The woman refused to
talk beyond the statement that they
had done nothing criminal, and that
the children in their charge had good
care

awful death threatened them was to
jump from windows. The crowo on
the street procured a blanket, which
was spread open and held in position
by number Of them. The woman
and children were then told to jump.
They did So The woman jumped
first. She struck the blanket with
such force that it tore from the
grasp of the men and she dashed to
the stone pavement and was instantly
killed One of the children jumped
and met the same fate, it seeming
to be impossible for the men to hold
the blanket firmly enough to break
the fall. The other three children
also jumped, but each of them re-
ceived injuries that will prove fatal.

Confessed His Crime.

Houston, April 2.-Yesterday
Walter E. Shaw, who was arrested
charged with the murder of his
mother, Mrs. Anna Shaw, and aunt,
Mrs. Bell johnson, was told by the
sheriff that a man was looking into
the window of the house and saw
him kill them. He replied if that
was the case, there was no longer
any use denying it, and thereupon
confessed he killed them both by
cutting their throats with a razor.
1t was done for $400 which he
wanted to get to continue his spree.
Shaw will have a hearing before the
lower court, and it is believed he
will plead guilty.

The Eleventh. Hour Blaine Movement,

The Elevcnth.Hour Blaine Movement.
If the opposition to President Harri-
son had succeeded in massing its forces
on a candidate OF the first class with q
good chance to defeat Harrison in the
convention, Mr.. Blaine would not have
been taken up after his d~eclination in
tho hope Of placing him whore ho could
not extricate himself from the nomina.
ton. ~.
1t must be admitted that Mr.. Blaine
is the choice Of his party above all other
mon, but tho men who turn mostwarm-
ly TO him are not the leaders OF the
eleventh-hour Blaine movement. Note
the view they are represented to be
taking Of the situation and the proba-
bilitics OF the future:
The anti.1Iarrison programme is now 10 make
'Alget the candidate for Vice. President with
any considerable part OF the presidential term II
nominated and elected, and the nomination for
'|ice,Prcsident Is regarded rs practically select
Ing the next President. Thnt Is why Algcr is so
ICuuy ~ IcllTt lrum tQp urSt anu tlke second
place ON the ticket.
The cold brutality of this view will
strike the least thoughtful. TO accom-
plish the defeat Of a certain man in the
convention there are those who are will
ing to force on another man. a burden
which he fears would kill him and which
they do not expect him to survive.
Mr.. Blaine does not think bis nomina-
tion necessary to the election Of a Re-
publican President or he would make
the sacrifice with all it might imply.
The leaders OF the movement which has
appropriated his great name as a cam
.paign cry will be content to conquer by
that sign They are thinking moro
about the nomination than the election.
The majority Of Republicans believe,
and a'large number OF observing Demo
Gratis fear, that the election OF Mr..
Blaine would be as certain as any unac-
complishedy thing can be. Still this is
not the point.
The managers Of the movement take
nothing into consideration which Mr..
Blaine thinks worth considering, his
health, hisrlife. They do not expect
Blaine to live out any considerabI, part
OF the presidential term" and 20 they
will have General Algcr ready to step
into the White House when the vacan.
cy comes.
In this light the movement presents
itself as in fact an Aleer movement not
very much yelled. If this be what the
Republican party desires, this is about
what it will try to accomplish. How
ever this may be, a party should under
stand well what it is to be asked to do
go that it may be prepared to act intel
ligently.
