HAYWARD THOROuGHLr HARD.
He Expresses "A Desire to Tear Out
His Brothers EntraiIs

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. S.-When Har-
~ Hayward heard the news Of his doom
from Sheriff Blomberg yesterday. he did
not lose his great nerve and at once en-
tered into a violent denunciation of his
brother Adry. ~
That's a long time to wait for
railroad train." he said when the sheriff
informed him that his death warrant had
been fixed for execution Wednesday
If you're in the depot it's a long time, D"
reJolned the sherim, but you're on the
track for eternity. You have a good many
things to consider before Wednesday;
you have little time to stay here"
Il know L have littls time" said Harry
There are a few things I would like TO
straighten out and a few folks 1 would
like to get even with. If l had my brother
Adry here l would take his entrails out
and stretch them like clothes line back
and forth through this cell. m not quite
SO mad at Blixt, as folks think. but if
my father, mother and brother (Dr. Hay
ward were dead, I would be the happiest
man in the world"
We'll. Harry the sheriff broke in, 4

NO" said Harry, 81 have not any sym
pathy, but feel where there ought to
be some"
Hayward then dictated a statement of
which the following is an extract: "a
short time is just as good as longer time
and / am as ready now as / ever shall
be. l had rather be hung than go to
Saltwater for life. If the governor would
come over here and talk with me, I
would tell him some things. I've had
a good time here and / will have a good
time yet. l have no kick coming They
ought to go back to the old times Peo-
pie are too soft-hearted now. If 1 had
Adry here I'd put his eyes out and cut his
heart out and I'd have Blixt look on,
then I'd cut them up and throw them to
the dogs I'm not made of milk and
water"
Turning to the sheriff at this point,
Hayward asked: II have a right to in
vite three persons into see the hanging,
haven't 70"
on being told that he had, he said:'T d
have the Dalton brothers, Bin Cook and
Cole Younger, and I'd give EN- two good
revolvers apiece"
To-day there was an attempt at recon-
ciliation between the murderer and Adry,
his brother, who appeared as an import
ant witness against him, but Hayward
would not have it that way, and cursed
him at frightful rate.

JEKYL ISLAND CLUB.
The Programme for Amusements the
Coming Year.


Brunswick, Ga, Dec. s-The season of
1856 on Jekyl Island will begin Dec. 20
and continue until March. Supt. Grab
has returned from New York, where the
final preparations were completed, and on
Dec. 16 the help will be installed in the
annex and the club house opened prepar-
atory to the regular opening four days
later.
Just what this season will mean to Jelxyl
is matter OF conjecture to some of the
members owing to the absence of amuse-
ment possibilities other than hunting
hshing, etc, 1t has not become a popular
resort for young people and has gradually
become more and more sought out by
who prefer quiet season to a gay one
This has not suited the younger members
and plans are on foot to popularize the
resort, which II carried out, will make it
as famous for its social functions as it
is now for game, etc To do this a fine
annex with large ballroom will be built
and other attractions added on a splendid
young people down and Jelxyl will be the
resort of resorts among the exclusive
northern visitors to the south If such
is done there will be several handsome cot
tages built by members and more inter-
est taken in the island generally than has
been for years. The superintendent is a
young man of exceptional business and
executive qualifications.
His position at present is due to this
fact, coupled with energetic efforts in
the past to give satisfaction. His rise
has been steady for several years, and he
now holds the most responsible position
of any club superintendent in the south.

DOUBLE MURDER IN GLYNN.
Two Negroes Shot Dead and Their
Murderer Escapes.


Brunswick. Ca. Dec. s.-Meager partic-
ulars Of terrible double murder, commit
ted on the line of the Southern road, about
fifteen miles from Brunswick, reached
here to-day. The murdered men and the
murderer are all negroes, the two who
lost their lives, Henry Bell and Jim Jack
son, being sober, industrious negroes,
with good characters. Henry Williams
OF pad repute. Williams used a pistol to
DO mis- work. The crime was committed
at the home of Henry Brown, where a
supper" was in progress 1t was nearly
o'clock this morning when Williams be-
came involved in dispute with some one
just outside Browns door. Bell and jack
son, the victims, started out of the door
TO act as peace-makers, and at once COM
menced trying to quiet Williams. Will
liams got mad at their efforts and began
shooting at them. His aim was good, and
the first shot struck Bell in the head. He
exclaimed Lord have mercy" and fell
dead on the spot. Jackson started to the
house, when Williams fred again, and
Jackson fell with bullet in his back His
death was instantaneous, and he uttered
no sound that was audible. CONSERVATION
reigned amongst the other guests, and In
the confusion Williams escaped, and has
not been heard from Up to this hour
On account OF the good character of the
murdered men and the sympathy for the
whites in that section are very much in
censed, and are taking active steps to
apprehend the murderer. The negroes
are also very much wrought up over the
affair and are helping to run Williams
down. The officials here have been noti-
fled and several searching parties are out
securing the territory around the scene
1t is thought that Williams has made for
Buffalo swamp, and If he succeeds in
reaching that place it will be difficult to
diSlodge him.
