In a Moment of Dependency At
 temp's Self Destruction.

Friday afternoon one of Pine Bluffs most amlable and highly re. spected working girls. i'd a moment of despondency, attempted self-de- struction. Iti is sad affair and the mantle of charity should be thrown over the young lady's act. The young wop1an in question is Miss Fannie Hearn, a very modest and pretty young girl who has been in the employ of the Rhodes-HayertY Furniture Co. as accountant for the past sFo years.
 Miss Hearn, with her sister, Miss Etta Hearn, makes her home with their uncle, Mir. A E. Wilmington, lon South Walnut street. Friday she did not arrive at home until af- ter the dinner hour, and the family being through their meal, she was told to go to the kitchen, where her

BOUND HIM OVER.
 --------- RICHARD CONVERSE HELD TO AWAIT THE ACTION OF GRAND JURY.
DR. BELLS TESTIMONY,
A Lucid Statement of the Killing Places Mrs. Ceaser Be
 yond Suspicion.

The examining trial of Richard Converse, accused of the murder of s. M. Ceaser, ended Friday after noon about 5:30 o'clock. After the argument of counsel for the priso. ner, Judge Garrett bound him over to await the action of the grand jury, finding circums stances too strong to release him.
 A feature of the last testi- mony offered was that of Dr. c. ". Bell. Dr. Bell was the first one on the scene and was telephooed for by Mrs. Ceaser. The Doctors evidence was given ln a clear, lucid manner and placed Mrs. Geaser beyond suspicion of the murder. Her actions, he said, were that of a woman shocked to such degree that she did not know what to do. She was nervous and crying. She gave the man who had been wounded her every care and attention, and was assisted by her mother.
 The Doctor said upon examina- ton of the wounds In the forehead and back of the head he found that Ceasef had been struck by some instrument, and later on the axe was found, which belonged to the prisoner, who was sent back to jail Friday.
 Mrs. Ceaser and her brother have used diIigent means to find out the guilty party who killed Ceaser. Her brother. James Chicot, in testifyi1g, said that be had been summoned from his home and went at once to the house of his sister. Mrs. Ceaser, and help her to straighten up the affairs of Ceaser. After that, they did all they could to find the guilty party, awaiting the decision Tn the case of Converse, whose axe was found near the body of the dead man, aud who was arrested for the crime.
 The case looks very bad for Con- verse, his shirt and suspenders were reeonized as the ones the man had on who last entered the store.

SHAKES THE BRITISH DO- MlNlON IN SOUTH
 AFRICA.
SIR ALFRED MILNER.
Wants to Declare Martial Law Throughout Cape Colony
 Dutch Uprising Feared

NEW YORK. December 16- A dis. patch from London says: British dominion in South Africa IS shaken to it's foundations. It is reported Sir Alfred Miner, British high com missioner in South Africa, and gov ernor of Cape Colony, demands the assent of the imperial government to a proclamation of martial law throughout Cape Colony. Lord Salisbury is nwillingsto grant the request save as a very last fesort,= as such dangerous confession of the gravety of the British position would be offering positive induce ment to England's enemies to take advantage of its extremity.
 Sir Alfred Miner reports the Datchsdisaffection has now reached point where ordinary law is use less to stem it. He wants power not ouly to summarily arrest with out warrant suspected persons, and the right to detain them without trial, but also the power to osuppress Dutch newspapers throughout the colony. which insist upon. publish ing accounts of British reYerses aud criticism of the war
 The war office made public the re- port of Gen. Buffers defeat shortly after midnight. The ticker service, for some reason, broke down after the first hundred words and the war office was crowded in twerty minutes by men who drove in cabs from the United Service Club, National Lii beral Club and other public resorts, clamoring for uews. The report was posted and the crowds stood abox cursing. There was no clamor, but men with oathS Ia their mouths, said 1t means the calling out of all the militia, and this Eseans the volunteers are to be summoned for duty.

So It Would Seem Regarding Green
 ville's Colored Church.

Sometime ago the congregation of St. Peters Rock, the name of a colored church in GreenyillP, was in court before Judge J. H. Garrett. It seems that the congregation is com posed of two factions, and they are bent on set ting their disputes in court. Here tofore they wanted it to go before an ecclesiastical council, but they were told they could not do this, so when in court last week they agreed to settle their difference. among themselves by eleeting a new pastor.
 Saturday morning before "His Honor" Judge Brown il police court two of the preachers were ID for disturbing the peace. Their names are Revs. Ad Mitchell and Jas. Tillman.
