ATTEMPT OF CADETS TO
 KILL THEIR C0MMAN DER
Major Jones Has Close Call From a Musket Bullet in nis
 0ff1oe

LEXINGTON, Ky, Dec. B.-Rebellious cadets at the State College here tonight attempted to assassinate the commander, Major M. B. Jones. When Major Jones opened the door to his office he was startled by a loud explosion, and upon examination found that musket had been so adjusted in a far corner of the room that the trigger was pulled when the office door opened. The bullet missed the major, but struck a door panel and glanced backward, entering the wall near one of the hinges. Major Jones was so startled that he did not regain control of himself before the office was filled with students. The guilty cadets have not been found The major tonight says 1t was only college prank and amounts to nothing.
 The college is furnished a commander by the United States army, but after the war was declared Major Sam Swigert was forced to return to his post of duty and Major Jones was appointed to act in his absence. Major Jones is unpopular and a number of less serious tricks have been played on him during the past few weeks. The faculty of the college voted a salary for commissioned officers of cadets recent ly, but this does not seem to have satis- fled the privates.

MURDEROUS ATTACK
 UPON TWO W0MEN
One Killed and Another Seriously Wounded by a Pair of Burglars
 in Alabama

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. T.-Tele- graphic advices from Banks, Ala, tell of a horrible crime at the Meyers planta- ton, near Josie Postoffice. eight miles from Banks. Mrs. Ida Meyers, a wealthy widow, and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. E. Meyers. also a widow, conducted store. and it was known that they kept large amount of money in the dwelling across the road from the store. A young man Cook was employed to superintend the farm and he occupied a room In the house
 Some time between midnight and day Cook was aroused by a noise in the room of the elder Mrs. Meyers. He sprang out of bed and ran to the door and saw Mrs. Meyers struggling with two strange men. He rushed to her assistance and was knocked senseless with a club. When he regained consciousness he found the house on fire and the elder Mrs Meyers appar- ently dead on the floor.
 Dragging her from the fire he went in search of the younger Mrs. Meyers and found her dead in her room, her brain having been beaten out. He rescued her body just in time from the flames He then rang the farm bell and aroused the neighbors, who came in great numbers, but were too late to save the house or any of it's contents.
 Ii is believed that the robbers obtained about 5000 in cash. Evidently they thought they had killed all three persons and fired the house to cover their crime. The condition of the elder Mrs. Meyers is critical.

FARRAGUTS DEFEAT RELIANCE. Vallejo Football Team Shuts Out the
 Men From Oakland.

VALLEJO, Dec. 1S.-The football game here to-day between the Farraguts of Vallejo and the Reliance of Oakland re- suited in a victory for the home team by the score of 15 to 0. The Farraguts were on their mettle and played the best game since they were organized. Mcclure, the big fullback, was the star of the game, and his hurricane work won rounds of applause.
 Reliance had the kickoff, and the Far raguts secured the ball, but one yard from their goal. They carried it across the field and scored without losing the pigskin. Reliance kicked off again, and Farragut scored the second touchdown without Reliance having the ball. Captain McEnerny then began open plays, the half ending without further scoring.
 In the second half Farragut scored one touchdown, the visitors failing to have a chance to score. McGuires ankle was in bad shape, and he failed on all his tries at goal. For the visitors Dd|acontr Platt and Prick played hard football, but their team was oVermatched.
 The Farraguts will play the Olympics on January 1.
