BIZ Gable to the United Press.

LONDON. Jan. 8. 1S96-The "Pall Mall
Gazette" says it has no reason to doubt
that the dispatches which the DAILY
Chronicle quotes containing the official
unpublished correspondence exchanged
by Great Britain and Venezuela between
November. 1910, when Sir Robert Schonl-
burgk was appointed to delimit the
frontier of British Guiana, and April
1912. when England removed the bound
ary posts set up by Schomburgk, are
genuine. The Gazette presumes that
Secretary Olney and President Cleve-
land knew of these letters, and asks
why then Secretary Olney did not use
them to refute Lord Salisburys sec
ond despatch. "Did he.' the 'Gazette''
asks. deliberately prefer to pick quar-
rel with Lord Salisbury"
The st. James's Gazette" says
''The British people are no. being

Try lnat unpublished official correspond

ANTLERs. /. T., Jan. 8. 1Ss6-wednes-
day evening two small boys were hunt
ing hogs on Kiamich River, two miles
north of here, when they found the dead
body of Lee Crum, white man, about
twentyfour years old. The remains were
horribly mutilated, having been pierced
by Winchester ball. The throat was
cut, the ears were gone, the flesh of the
face had been removed and the eyes
gouged out. AS a FITTING climax the vios
tim had been Scalped.
Will McAlesteF, a Choctaw boy abouS
seventeen years old, was arrested yes

charge, but told that his half brother.
Taylor Hickman, aged twelve years, and
Thomas Davis, aged sixteen, had told
him that they had killed Crum. They
the shocking butchery. They had agreed
Saturday to kill a white man the next
day, saying that the United States laws
were no good. Crum came along about
three O'Clock Sunday afternoon. They
persuaded him to go down to the river.
and while Davis held his hand he told
Hickman to shoot him. Although fatally
wounded Crum pulled a small empty piss
toll from his pocket and ran the boys off,
They came back, but some men nearby
frightened them away again. The next
day Davis went back and tracked Crum
up He was stiE alive Davis then
nutilated him as above described and
robbed him. Judge Lynch may hold
court any moment.

HER TEETH WOULDN'T FIT.
Why Mrs. Hoffman, Has Brought
Suit Against Dentist Hedges.

The case of Mrs. Eliza Hoffman of Ho-
boken against DR.. Alfred NJ Hedges of
No. 7S0 Washington street, Hobeken, to
recover SIT which she paid him for set
of teeth, which did not fit her beautiful
mouth, was reopened in the Hoboken
District Court before Judge Paxton this
afternoon.
Mrs. Hoffman testified that she ordered
the teeth nearly a year ago. and that
every time she called for them the Doc
tor put her off, At last he gave her
set which. she said. might have come
from the jaw bone of the Biblical ass,
SO large were they. Nevertheless she got
them into her mouth, but when at night
she tried to get them out she was un-
able to do so. She claimed that the
Doctor "jollied'' her along into keeping
the alleged teeth, and she paid him the
ST. After suffering month or two,
by having her jaws stretched out of
shape she returned to the dentist and
had him take them out. He tried to
remedy the defects but failed to do SO,
and she demanded her SIT back. He re-
fused to give it to her. and so she Sc
cured the services of Counsellor Alex.
Young to bring the suit. The case is
still on.

Many politicians were surprised when
they learned that Mayor Wanser had
appointed the FUN Board. The law which
wound UP the existence of the original
commission yesterday made it compul-
sorry for the Mayor to appoint City
Treasurer Dickinson and CITY Comptrol-
Ter Houg'h to the Commission The same
law authorized the appointment of Gus
todian at salary not to exceed 50, 600
a year. That snug berth. as was antici-
pated, fell to exlCity Hall Commissioner

junction with the precious architect, who

morning, but no action in that direction
was taken, owing to the fact that the
contractors have not made a demand for
