Natchez, Miss, June 16-As the re-
suit of the infatuation Of r. w. Daw-
son, IL white man, for Virgie Brooks,
coal black negro wench, Frank Mack
lin. manager of Natchez Island planta-
ton, lies dead in this city with two
Winchester balls through his body.
The Brooks woman is dead on the
island. Robert Carter, a legrO boy, Is
at the hospital mortally wounded, and
the body of Dawson, unshrOuded, un-
coffined and riddled with bullets &C.
cupies an unmarked grave near tho
waters edge on the Louisiana side Of
the river, where he fell while making
a desperate resistance to arrest.
Dawson was a shanty boat fisher
man, we'll and unfavorably known in
this vicinity on account of his con-
nection with the woman and his gen.
eral hard character. The woman had
been living with him, but left him
some time since and took up quarters
on the Natchez Island plantation,
owned by Jim Conley and managed by
his son-in-law, Frank Macklin. Daw-
son followed the woman and made
himself so obnoxious that yesterday
he was ordered off the plantation and
forbidden to return. He came to
Natchcz, secured 4 Winchester rifle
and early this morning reappeared at
the home Of his negro paramount on
the island. Macklin learned of his
presence, went to the wolnan's house
and again ordered Dawson from the
premises. Dawson started away, as
though to obey, but on reaching the
gate, turned suddenly and fired at
Macklin with his Winchester, the ball
passing through the latter's thigh.
Macklin, who was unarmed, turned
to run behind the house, but Dawson
fired again just as his back was
turned, the ball entering Macklin's
left shoulder and passing through the
heart. Dawson then re-entered the
house and shot the woman through
the breast, killing her instantly. The
same bullet passed through the body
of the boy, Robert Carter, probably,
fatally injuring him. Dawson then
made toward Louisiana, telling some
one that he would return and "fnish
the job" by killing Mr.. Conley and his
wife. A posse from Vidalia, headed
by Magistrate Brady, soon overlook
the murderer and filled him with bull
let's. Magistrate Brady impanelled a
jury, held an inquest ON the spot, the
verdict exonerated those engaged in
the killing of Dawson, and the body
was then buried where it fell and as
it Law,

NO nYDRoPHoBIA AT ST. PAUL.


Eminent Scientists Have Examined
the First Suspected Dog.
st. Paul, June 15.-The people Of St.
Paul have been enjoying mad dog
scare for several weeks, and the fe-
male population Of the SANITY City
has been en- the verge of hysteria as a
consequence. After all that has been
said on the streets and in the news
papers about the scare it seems almost
cruel to announce that there have been
no mad days, and that the people have
either been the victims of an halluci-
nation or the dupes of some cunning
fellow without conscience or heart.
The case upon which the St. Paul peo-
pie pin their faith in the existence of
real live mad dogs occurred in South
st. Paul, where man who had been
bitten by a dog died under circum-
stances which were regarded as sus-
plclous. 1t now apI ears that the brain
and spinal cord and other parts of the
dog which did the biting have been
examined by the leading experts in
the state, WHO have failed to find any
symptoms of hydrophobia in them. Re
putable physicians of the city are be-
ehnlng TO realize that there has been
an immense joke played upon the pop.
ulace. and are saying nothing. In the
meantime. however, the dealers have
done q rushing businesses in the sale of
mllzzles while one or two doctors hive
gathered IN handsome fees. and n good
many OF them for inspecting suspected
dogs. Truly, 1t is an III wind TINT
blows nobody good.

CROP REPORT.

Bismarck. Special-The past week
has been most favorable for small
grain, but mfavolable for corn and
gardens. Heavy rains have fallen in
every part of the state and soaked the
ground more thoroughly than it has
been before for a long time.
The temperature has been below the
normal all the week, and the sun has
heen obscured by clouds nearly all the
time, greatly retarding the growth of
corn and gardens. but wheat and grass
have made rapid progress.
Cut worms are doing considerable
damage to corn in the southern coun-
ties, and blackbirds are reported as
damaging it in Kidder county.
Grass has, as general thing, made
rnpid progress, and the prospects for q
big crop Of hay are very flattering.
The growth of the small grain has
been something wonderful. A sample
stool Of wheat from Walsh county was
received at this Office which measured
nineteen inches IN height and three
inches In diameter where it emerged
from the ground. Rye is already head
ing out. and the prospects IRE new
good for an early harvest.
There was light frost at Bismarck,
but doing no particular damage, and
the Geographic reports do not show
any in the other parts Of the state.

The Textile Manufacturers Review
announces that the new invention in
weaving, doubling the number %
looms one operative can manage, is an
undoubted success, and that the weav-
ing industry will be placed under new
conditions. The device supplies the
loom automatically with from fourteen
to twenty shuttles at a time, feeding
new bobbin when necessary and
connecting the thread without the
loom stopping at all. A weaver will
thus be enabled to tend sixteen ma-

Mr.. F. B. Sanborn presents statis-
tics which seem to prove that insanity
is increasing at an alarming rate; but
DR.. Forbes Winslow, one of the most
eminent authorities on mental dis
eases, says that the apparent increase
simply means that greater notoriety is
now given to such cases, and that in
reality there is no material increase.
