Death Sentences COMMITTED and n
Petition In Circulation.
London, April 29.-The colonial office has
received a dispatch from Pretoria saying
that the death sentences imposed upon the
leaders of the johannesburg Reform
Union yesterday have been commuted.
Pretoria, April 29.-Monster petitions ere
being sighed here and in johannesburg
asking the president. to pardon the mem
bers Of the Reform Union upon whom
sentence was pronounced yesterday. The
Boer jurors before whom the condemned
men would have been tried had they NOT
pleaded guilty have also signed a me-
mortal asking that executive clemency
be extended to the self-confessed reform
ers. All of the members Of the Reform
Union who are under sentence for high
treason or lese majestic are in jail here
though at present they are granted GER
tain privileges.
DR.. w. J. Leyds, secretary of state of
the South African republic, informed Sir
Jacobus A. Dewet, the British diplomatic
agent to-day that the death penalties i'm
posed upon John Hays Hammond, Col
Rhodes and others Of the Johannesbure
Reform Union yesterday had been remit
ted, but it had not yet been decided what
form or punishment WOULD De SuBSLl-
tuted for that which had been abandoned
The executive council is now in session
considering all Of the sentences imposed
by the court yesterday.
In passing judgment upon the prisoners
the judge said it was his painful duty
to impose the extreme sentence but he
hoped that the executive would exercise
the same degree of clemency toward the
prisoners that he had shown at the be-
ginning of the year.
Washington, April 29.-secretary olney
this morning received the following cable
gram, dated to-day, from Vice Consul
Knight at Cape Town, relative to John
HAYS Hammond: Have been Informed
that the sentence of death is commute
ted Further particulars will be wired -
Secretary Olney has been in telegraphic
communication with the British foreign
office with regard to securing the most
favorable treatment of Hammond by the
BOer authorities. This line Of action is
made necessary by the fact that the
United States government has no diplo-
matte Office near the South African re-
publics, its only representatives being a
consular agent al johannesburg and a
vice consul at Cape Town. Vice Consul
Knight wired that he would send further
particulars of the Communication of the
death sentences, but did not do so, for the
reason, undoubtedly. as shown in dis
patches from London. that the clemency
granted was indefinite and did not indi-
cate how far the Communication went

SHOOTING AFFRAY AT YATES. OF
William MinnIs Shoots and Instantly Kills
George Randall.

saltwater O. r, March 2.-(SpeciaD
-Saturdy afternoon James and Will
liam MINIS, father and son, started
from their home three miles north Of
Yates pOstoffice, TO go TO that place
after their mail. At the time Of leav-
ing their home the son was out hunt
ing rabbits. Seeing his father driving
away from the house he started in a
direction to intercept him. Learning
where he was going he concluded to go
along and placed his gun in the wagon
and climbed in. When about a mile
north of Yates they met George Ran
dali in a wagon, with whom they had
had some trouble before. When they
met, the Minnises turned from the road
TO pass, as is cutomary. when Randall
said You d-n s-of-b, 1 have been
waiting TO catch you, and now l have
you" at the same time placing his
hand TO his hip pocket as if to take
therefrom a pistol, and raised up in the
wagon. Without making any reply
William raised his bun TO his shoulder
and fired. the whole charge taking eff
feet in Randalrs neck, killing him in
stantly.
The Minnises proceeded on their way
TO Yates without stopping TO see the
effect of the shot, intending TO come TO
Saltwater and surrender; bue the
neighbors arrested them and sent for
the sheriff 20 whom they turned them
over. The neighbors say that Randall
was a terror 10 the neiShborhood and
had repeatedly threa tened the lives of
Minnises. The affair seems 20 have
grown out Of some trouble Randalrs
boys had been connected with some
time last summer in which they Were
accused Of breaking into and stealing
from a country store at Ironton. O. T.
The Minnises are now in the county
Jail at saltwater and viii have a pre-
liminary hearing on Monday next.

CLEAR CASE OF sANDBAGGING
ajor COnOver Found Robbed and Uncon
scious at Perry, o. L.

Perry. o. T., March 2.-(SpeciaD-
Major Conover, an old colder, was
found this morning in his room over
Christophers store on Seventh street,
entirely unconscious and has remained
so until this evening. Beside him was
a revolver and a torn handkerchief
partly filed with sand with which he
had evidently been sand-bagged- His
pants with the pockets rified were
found on the steps leading from the
building. Persons in the vicinity say
they heard a noise about 3 o'clock this
morning which sounded like persons
running hurridly down the stairs.
The major is still unconscious. There
is no clue to the guilt parties.
