tache. He not only looks like an Indian,
but is of Indian descent, and says that he
is proud of it, The blood of the Pcquots
and the Naragansetts is united in his
veins, as bis father descended from the
former and his mother from the latter
tribe His great grandfather on his mothers
side, however, was a white man
He was born "a years ago in Central vii
lage, Conn, and went to school there. At
the age of II years he removed to Provi-
dence. In 1879 he played Charles +. Barker
of Boston, the champion of America and
defeated him by 6 to2, with II games drawn.
Since then he has played five matches with
Barker, the total score standings Freeman,
IA; Barker 6; drawn, 50. In 1885 he played
Barker "a series of 80 games for the cham
piouship of America and $500 a side. The
score stood: Freeman o. Barker, 3; drawn,
d.
In 1890 Freeman and Barker played an
other match at Providence for a purse OF
$500 Twenty-seven out of 30 games were
drawn, Freeman won and Barker l.
In 1852 Freeman played draw with the
famous Scotch champion, James Wyllie,
Freeman won game, Wyllie /, and the third
game was a draw. About two years later
Freeman and Wyllie met again in atriend-
ly match at Providence. Freeman won
easily. Freeman decided eight years age
that he would play no more championship
games.

He is owned by c. j. Hamlin of Buffalo,

The Turf Season of 1898.

The turf season of 1898 just closed will
for many years be memorable, because it
witnessed the triumphs of Domino, one Of
if not the very greatest 2-year-olds the
country ever saw. 1t win also be memoir
able because Of the disappointments and
defeats of Lamplighter, the popular idol,
and because it witnessed the ascendency of
his rival, Tammany, who easily proved
himself Lamplighter's master and beyond
doubt the champion of the turf. Domino's
triumphal career will live longest, however,
and viii fill a larger place in turf history.

In the recent six days match between
Roberts and De ORC, the Cuban won. When
he secured the necessary 1000 points en-
titling him to victory, Roberts had only
captured 924 To make the great intena-
tional match perfectly fair one the Eng
lsh and American tables were set up side
by side, and the American champion was
compelled TO- play half the time on the
strange Eash table, while the English
champion had to wrestle the same share of
the time with the difficulties Of the unla-
miliar American table. Roberts defeated
De ORC 13 points at English pool, and De
ORC beat Roberts 50 points at the Amer
lean game.

people of Dawson. Without further Ger

benefit of his scriptural knowledge, and
could not be induced to stop until the
hat was passed around and collection,
amounting to about $1.00, taken up by
one of the gentlemen. The jingle Of the

ed by the Roadside.
Sunday Mr.. J. H. McClelland received
a telegram conveying the intelligence
That his brother-in-law, Mr.. Dave Ship
pey, had been killed near Buena Vista.
A special from Buena Vista gives the
following particulars of the tragedy.
About o'clock Saturday evening Dave
ShippeY was killed by jim II. and Floyd
Hogg, and their father, L. A. Hogg, APP
pears to have been accessory after the
fact. The killing, apparently, was
purely premeditated and took place
about five miles southwest of Beuna Wis
ia, little beyond the plantation of Hon.
Howell Hollis. There was an eye wit
ness to the deplorable affair, negro
named Daniel Brown, who works on the
Hollis plantation. Whisky and motives
of revenge seem to have urged the men
to the deed.
An inquest was held over the body of
the dead man last night.
From the evidence it appears that severa
shots were fred, thirteen bulle lodging
in Ships left side, while the back of his
head was literally filled with buckshot.
The third shot is supposed to have miss
ed the man.
Shippey and the Hogg boys had fight
in a pool room here one year ago last
November. Shippey came to town Sat
urday, and before returning home in the
evening was drinking heavily. The
hoggs concealed themselves in bushes
near the road to await him. Jim and
Floyd Hogg hal guns. They saw ship
pey as he was driving down the road in
an OK cart. He coul1 scarcely hold him
self up on the seat, being sick from the
effects of too much whisky. O.d man
Hogg cursed him and asked him what
he had to say about the money that his
boys had to pay out on him for fines. He
cursed back and Jim and Floyd Hogg
fired the contents of their guns into the
helpless mans body
The excitement here is very great. All
day men have been standing on the
streets and sitting in the hotels discuss
ing the frightful murder. From a stand
point of law there seems to be but little
hope for the Hogs. Though they are
still at large, it is thought that they can
not get far away, as they have no money.
