into possession of white rhinoceros,
and has intimated his intention of pre-
senting 1t to the South African mu-
scum. 1t is very fine specimen of a
class Of beasts now nearly extinct. It
measured six feet four inches across
the shoulders. and its long and short
horns are two feet eleven and one-half
inches and eleven and three-quarter
inches respectively. Mr.. Rhodes has
sent the carcass home to be properly
stuffed at his own expense. and the
value Of the gift is very considerable
Baron Rothschild recently paid 81, 900
for white rhinoceros. and the museum
would have been prepared to offer n
similar price had not Mr.. Rhodes como
to the rescue. Mr.. Rhodes rhinocercs

ton Lane shot and instantly killed
James Rodenbaugh and mortally
wounded the young mans father, H. C..
Rodenbaugh. Tho facts leading up to
the difficulty show that 1t was the re-
suit of drunken debauch. Lane was
drunk at Lexington the previous night
and on Monday morning had a wordy
war with hotel clerk because the clerk
would not give him another drink.
Lane is very ugly when in his cups. and
serious trouble was barely avoided. He

baugh in the hallway. He was in bad
humor. He asked the young man the
amount of his bill. and on receiving
a., answer Lane began abusing Roden-
baugh, who was cripple on account OF
an injury received several years ago.
Their words soon came to blows and
both men drew their pistols about the
same time. Lanes first shot struck
Rodenbaugh in the neck, Just above the
collarbone; 1t ranged around through
the jugular vein and lodged Just
under the skin in the back of his
neck. Almost at the same instant.
Rodenbaugh's pistol was discharged
the bullet producing a flesh wound of
little consequence in Lanes left side, in
line with the heart.
Blood gushed from Rodenbaugh's
throat. and giving a few gasps he fell
backward corpse. Just as he fell
his father opened the door, and as he
did so the slayer of the son turned on
the father and fired, the ball striking
him In the mouth and lodging in the
back part Of his head. He reeled, and

again. the second bullet lodging in the
fathers spine. He dropped to the floor
and lay by the side of his son. Cast
ing glance at his victims Lane walked
out of the hotel, only to be arrested at
the door by an officer and placed in
fall. When physicians arrived they
found the young man dead and his
father dying.

located in Versailles two years ago and
engaged in the business Of selling
patent fence. He has been considered
a good business man and a quiet gen.
tleman when sober. But when drinking
he ia always spelling for fight. During
the Breckinridge-Owens campaign
fight he was a bitter partisan of Col.
breckenridge. His sister. Mrs. McCon-
nell, of Woodford county, was one Of
the ladies to entertain Breckenridge
when he spoke at Midway. Some one
told him that George B. Kinkead, of
Versailles, who took an active part for
s-r. owens, had said that no reputable
,;on,an would allow Col. Breckenridge
to come into her house. Meeting Judge
Jlinkead near the Lexington postoffice.
