to the contract to get half the proceeds
Biscoc & Speaks, Bolivar, seventy.fvo
convicts, to work about one thousand
acres of land; Col. w. II. Mobiles, Bolivar

four hundred and fifty to work the State
farm and leased places. The claim OF
the Chattanooga Mercantile Company

estimates is about $1,000. This COM
pany held the contract of A. d. Daniels,
o. Arcola, Washington County. whose
place the State worked op the share
system, he having transferred the same
to it. The original contract provided
that tho State should receive go per
cent of the crop and Daniels 40 per

pany claimed damages of $4,000 for mis-
management to the place, killing OF

The APACHE MURDERS
Committed by Renegades from the San

Caya;rynsn in Hot Pursuit of tho MUIR
dcrers, Who are Making for Old Mexico
Murder Not the Worst Of tho Rene
gades' Crimes.
DEMsG, N. NJ, Dec. 9.--News from
the scene of the murders In Arizona
committed by renegade. Apaches from
the San Carlos reservation, state that
the troops from Forts Bayard and
Grant are on the trail and that 1t tends
to the line of old Mexico into the Sierra
Madre mountains, the stronghold Of
the renegades for years. by treaty
soldiers can cross the international
boundary to pursue the Indians, but
the country is SO rough and mountain
GUS that it is very improbable that they
will ever get within hundred miles Of
the murderers.
In all, six murders are reported, the
first crime being committed on last
Monday on Eagle creek, when three
brothers named Hinton and a man
named Searles were killed and horri-
bly, mutilated.
On Tuesday farmer named Merrill
and his 16-year-old niece were slain in
the road six miles west Of Ash Springs.
The girl had been outraged and the
body was fearfully mutilated.
The scenes are on the borders of the
reservation and many miles distant
from telegraphic communication, so
that complete particulars are not OBJ
tainable. There were six Indians in
the party, two mounted and four on
foot, but it would be an easy matter to
steal horses for the entire party.
A party of miness from Duncan, Ari-
zona, left in advance of the soldiers,
heavily armed and well mounted, and
at last accounts were following the In
dians within two hours.
These crimes DO MOI indicate an out
break or serious trouble, being the
work of few murderous bucks, whose
action is condemned by the reservation
Indians, who are" "contented.
All remaining cavalry at Fort Bay
ard were ordered out yesterday tc
make forced march into Arizona for
the purpose of cooperating with troops
already out, including those from Fort
Grant, to assist in the capture Of the
band of renegade Indians. A report
was also telegraphed to Fort
Bayard that the citizens posse
under the leadership of the Park
brothers, which had taken the
trail Immediately after the discovery
of the murders, had engaged in fight
with the Indians near Clifton, Ariz.
and that one or more of the posse hat
been killed. This is not verified, but
was telegraphed to the commanding
officer at Fort Bayard. The depart
ment is exerting every effort In tht
movement of troops to cut off the bant
from escaping across the border int
old Mexico.

uINDIANAPoILs, Ind, Dec. 1O.-John
Kiefel, a journeyman jeweler of Car

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.



Inc question of having the State OF
mississippi buy Baauvoir for soldiers
nome' which was so briskly agitated o
lew months ago, has either been buried
or put to sleep, for nothing is read or
heard of it at this time.
II the State will buy Beauvoir and es-
tabllsh there an experiment station and
horticultural hall. to be practical ex-
ample OF what this country can do in the
line OF farm products, fruits, vegetables,
tropical plants and flowers, it would be
not only living monument OF the re-
sources of Sou thern Mississippi, but at
tract more people to the coast and State
Than any other project that could be un-
dertaken.
1t would be a fitting monument to the
memory of Jefferson Davis, more ex-
pressive than piles Of granite or shafts
OF marble.
Then, in suitable keeping with the
sentimental and practical, let tho State
employ mono but old Confederate SOL
diers to establish and keep up the insti-
tuition. This would be better than the
trifing pensions allowed them for this
