AN AWFUL CRIME.
James Ward Murders His Father-in-
Law and His Brother-in-Law, and
Commits Suicide.

Sullivan, Ind, September GA most
horrible murder and suicide occurred
last night. James Ward killed Aaron
Hunter, his father-in-law, and John
Hunter, his brother-in-la law. Ward cut
off the head of the elder Hunter, and
split wide open the head of the son.
Family differences are supposed to have
led to the crime.
Last night at II o'clock Ward and
Aaron Hunter were in town and had
apparently arrived at a satisfactory un-
derstanding. Ward insisted, however,
upon the old man going TO the woods TO
hunt cOOns. While the hunt was in
progress, and Hunter was sitting on
stump, Ward hit him in the neck with
an axe. His head was split open. When
Hunter fell, Ward struck the prostrate
body again and cut of the head. The
axe sank into the ground. The muir
derer then proceeded to kick the head
OF his victim about. He then went
home, awoke his wife and told her to
call her brother, as he and the old man
had freed a coon and ask him TO come
and help fell the tree.
The younger Hunter got up, went out
into the yard with only his shirt on,
when Ward, with a stroke of the axe
feIled him TO the ground. Young Hun
ter died almost Immediately with his
head split open.
Ward then told his wife to keep quiet
about the whole affair." That if she
did not, she would suffer the same fate
as her father and brother. Ward then
went about half mile down the road
and stopped at the Beckels home. He
| told Mrs. Beckels that he had killed
both the Hunters. Before many hours
the crime was generally known, and a
posse consisting of miners and farmers
started on the hunt of Ward, armed
With various weapons. Ward had two
revolvers, and this fact was known by
his pursuers. The posse became en-
ragged and when the old mans body
was found the mob became more de-
| termined than ever, and determined 10
hang Ward if captured Just as the
posse had located Ward and surround
ed the field in which he had been hid
Ing, single shot was heard. The posse
| closed in on the spot from whence the
firing had come, and found Ward on
his back on the ground with a revolver
in either hand and bullet wound under
the left ear. He was already dead.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.
1t Likely VIII be Carried Up to the Supreme


1t Likely VIII he Carried Up to the Supreme
Court.
Washington, September 6.-There
seems to be no doubt that the Oxnard
sugar bounty question, which was de-
cided by Comptroller Bowler adverse
ly to the Oxnard company on cOnsti-
tutional grounds, will 90 to the Su-
preme Court of the United States for
final determination. Within the next
few DAYS Secretary Carlisle will certify
the case to the Court of Claims under
section 1868 of the revised statutes,
stating to the court that it is alleged
by the claimants that a right under
the constitution has been denied them,
and asking that, as great public inter
ests are involved, the court pass upon
the matter at an early date. Under
the rules of the court the claimants
might put off making their appearance
for more than six months, but there
seems to be no reasonable doubt that
the Oxnard Company will favor an
early adjudication, although Senator
Cafferty is understood to have protest
ed against being forced into the courts
on the questions involved.
